One day after work, the sushi craving hit me. I didn't want a full sushi meal because I was going out to dinner later on. I just wanted a few pieces. That's when I remembered Wasabi Sushi & Bento. It's a grab and go place where they sell sushi a la carte, individually wrapped. I really liked that fact that you can get as much or as little as you want. Plus, they have tons of options. And surprisingly, the fish to rice ratio is pretty good. It's not too much rice, like you might expect one of these places to be. Of course, it wasn't the best-tasting sushi I've ever had, but it did the trick. Where else in the city, let alone this neighborhood can you find $1.50 pieces of sushi?!
They also have bento boxes and cooked meals if you're not into the whole raw fish thing. I'll definitely be frequenting this place more often. Unlucky for me, this place is slightly out of the way for me along my route home. Or maybe that's a good thing because my entire paycheck would probably be going...

The first meal was a poke bowl, this one is a hot meal. From the first bite, I prefer the cold poke bowl. This meal is covered in onions which I mistook for pickled lettuce or cabbage. That was a big disappointment because I'm not a huge face of onions. Other then that it's tasty. I love eel, and always prefer it when choosing sushi.
The restaurant also sells pocky sticks which are a Japanese and Korean dessert. They are afforable at less than $3. You can buy individually wrapped sushi starting at 2 for $2. If you are ever at the World Trade Center mall, I recommend you check the place if you want to grab a quick meal before heading on the train or after getting off the train and doing long hours...
Read moreMy first time here since I was actually looking for something else. Wasabi is so far the best quick Sushi spot within walking distance of my office; I have tried the one across broadway, Fulton Key Food and Whole Foods. The store is compact but serviceable. Wasabi is better in terms of the amount of food and the price points. Pricing is on par with the other quick sushi spots in the area. The store is bright and the ready to go sushi is laid out in a clean well lighted area to the right as you enter the store. The salmon sushi I had tastes amazingly fresh with an almost melt in your mouth appeal to it. The little green salad (not sure of the name) was interesting but tasty nonetheless. I will definately be back to try some other entrees when I crave sushi which basically...
