🍝 Richmond’s Hidden Japanese-Italian Gem – Wasuta Pasta Review!

📍 Wasuta Pasta 7080 River Rd #202, Richmond Tucked away on River Road, this tiny fusion spot blends Japanese precision with Italian comfort – think creamy mentaiko pasta with sunset river views (weather permitting!). 🌟 Why It’s Special ✔ Secret off-menu specials – ask for the daily creations ✔ Riverside patio – golden hour dining in summer ✔ Japanese hospitality – staff explain each dish warmly 🍽️ What We Ordered 🦀 Spag Rosé Crab ★★★★☆ Al dente noodles with lump crab meat in rosé sauce – balanced umami . 🍄 Fet Truffle Cream ★★★★☆ Silky truffle cream, wild mushrooms, Parmesan – decadent but salty (pair with beer!). 🍵 Matcha Tiramisu ★★★★★ Layers of mascarpone + bitter-sweet matcha – lighter than classic versions . 🍹 Guava Sunset ★★★★☆ Fresh passionfruit-guava juice – add $3 for soju (hidden boozy upgrade!). 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Reserve ahead – only 7 tables (fills fast even on rainy days) ✔ Timing: 5-7PM for best light + sunset views ✔ Parking: Free in shared lot (look for blue awning) 💰 Damage: ~$25-40 per person #VancouverEats #JapaneseItalian #HiddenGems
