i’ve always found ‘wasabi’ to be a cheap sushi vendor if you can call their “fast-food” (in the pejorative sense) sushi in the first place.

i’ve found that they cater only to the fried mayo lovers who would not know a fish if it smacked them jumping out of the water.

its a shame that this unique delectable cuisine has become what it has i kuwait.

for the record: the only authentic quality sushi place in kuwait is still Kei at the JW Marriott (better than the one at marina). the one in shaab (forgot the name) is also sometimes good but not always.

“its not like they rate the rest like the states.. giving them a grade of A B C or watever..” by ok go.

Totally agree !
rating restaurants is a way to avoid facing these nasty things that we find in our dish.

A hair is one thing, a nail is something entirely different. Gross.

I think the restaurants over here would benefit from a bit of focus – that is partly why the restaurants in Japan are superior – they stick to one area of Japanese food and try to excel at it.

i found a nail is my miso soup at KEI.. it was disgusting..
i also found hair in my ginger at wasabi…

quality control and sanitation control in kuwait is weak..
its not like they rate the rest like the states.. giving them a grade of A B C or watever..

even at the 5 star rests.. you still find these nasty things..

Thanks for the heads-up.

I was at Maki at the Avenues this weekend. Our bill is 30 KD on average; either lunch or dinner. I always forget why I don’t go there more often (other than exhorbitant prices): the menu. It is 12 pages long and nothing makes sense to me. It might be better if they had pictures, but I can never figure out what I’m going to get.

I’m stickin to Sakura.

Maybe they didn’t like your shirt Mark. Simple things like that can cause even the most respectable waitress or waiter to lose their cool.

even day time in the city branch the chef is great plus the waitresses there are really friendly and let off positive vibes. The avenues branch everyone just looked grumpy.

i totally agree, i was there for lunch as well and the food tasted bad, the best time and place to eat wasabi is in the city branch night time the chef is the best.
