Wasabi Warriors Quick Review

-
Ever since I've seen signs of the place last year, I've been on the lookout on when Wasabi Warriors would open. It was only last week that I was able to visit it and I wasn't disappointed.

Entering their store at Gramercy Residences, you'll be greeted with a display case full of uncut maki rolls. Pieces of nigiri were also on display. It was Seared Salmon Nigiri that I was told to definitely try. Their varieites were simple with tastes that are easy to imagine. They had different packs that would cater to different craving sizes. The menu had a lot of items but they were very friendly and easy to understand.

What I had for that day was an Ocean Warrior Pack. It had Tuna Mayo and Avocado, Fresh Salmon and Avocado, Seared Salmon Nigiri pieces, one of which was spicy. It tasted as expected. Nothing too fancy but very satisfying for its price of P350. The cuts were a bit too thick, though.

The place is very spacious and had seating for parties of different sizes. At the time that we were there, the music was a bit too loud and they had on Spotify the discography on Justin Bieber. Maybe they should invest in getting premium as ads were heard on their sound system. There were news clippings on one pillar explaining how they source their ingredients locally and ethically. I also learned that they had options for brown and black rice. I'll just try that next time.

Overall, it's very satisfying but it isn't the top of mind place for me for Japanese food. The Warrior Pack I ordered was actually good for 2 if you're not that hungry. Maybe next time that I'm in the area, I'd come back to try their other options.

Before a single note is played, there is already a journey waiting to unfold, one that moves not through space, but through centuries of sound. On January 21, the Far Eastern University Center for the Arts opens the doors of the FEU Auditorium to that journey with Tones Through Time: A Musical Odyssey , a free admission informational piano concert led by internationally acclaimed pianist and educator Dr. Raffi Kasparian . This is not simply a recital. It is an invitation to listen with context, to hear how Western music grew, shifted, and responded to the world across generations.
