Each of the Lowcountry incarnations of Wasabi is different in tone and character. The Daniel Island location is the flashiest and most upscale of the lot, and it serves high-end sushi with plenty of extravagant flourishes. Toro and kanpachi top the regular nigiri slate, while the sushi bar includes the requisite over-the-top rolls plus more exotic combinations like steamed monkfish pâté with ponzu sauce and Japanese snapper graced with 250-million-year-old Himalayan pink salt. Filet mignon and lobster tails grace the hibachi menu, but for consuming even more conspicuously, look for the black-truffled marinated bluefin tuna which, when it’s available, is garnished with flakes of 24-carat gold. The decor is bold and stylish, but there’s more to Wasabi than just flash, like a noticeable focus on freshness and quality. The sushi creations are intriguing and delicately delicious, keeping the Daniel Island Wasabi at the head of the class of Charleston’s sushi restaurants —Robert Moss Dish (Winter 2013)
