Restaurant review: Wasabi Japanese Restaurant

Location: 315 Clarendon St, South Melbourne
Phone: 03 9699 8874
Cuisine: Japanese

Overall Impression: 6/10

Wasabi Japanese Restaurant is a neighbourhood gem. Located on bustling Clarendon Street, this cosy little eatery is popular during the lunch hour on weekdays. On weekends, the restaurant is fairly quiet so it is always easy to get a table despite the fact the restaurant is very small (it sits about 20 people). My favourite thing about the restaurant is its authentic Japanese offerings. I can never go past the brilliantly fresh and delicious sushi and sashimi.
