Since this is my last summer as a student, I have been living it up before I face reality and enter the real world. I’ve spent a great deal of time cooking my own meals, but then there are times when I just want to eat out especially since Seattle is home to some of my favorite restaurants! I’ve actually got quite a few “Summer in Seattle” posts for you, but I’m running a little behind.

Two weeks ago, my three dearest friends from high school were in town so we decided to go out to my favorite sushi restaurant in Seattle – Wasabi Bistro. One of my girlfriends who goes to school out of state had been looking forward to this day for a very long time and since we’re both 21, we wanted to go all out with our order and order our first drinks at Wasabi together.

Wasabi Bistro was closed for many months for their remodeling, but now they are back and better than ever before. The interior of the restaurant is significantly larger with two party rooms instead of one and extra seating extending past the bar area, which wasn’t there before. In addition to being larger, the restaurant is brighter with accents of white and lime, which help to open up the restaurant a bit.

I ordered six pieces of nigiri and one order of the Rockstar Roll (king crab tempura, avocado, tobiko, topped with sockeye salmon, sesame sauce, and spicy mayo) Welp! I’m pretty sure I ordered the most and felt the fullest after dinner was over. I know everyone always says to know your limit with drinks, but at 21 – I’m still learning my limit with how much food I can consume. Despite my full stomach and my inability to move at all once I got home, the meal was worth it and at the end of the day – that’s all that matters, right?
