Wasabi Bistro

Location, location! A unique dining experience to be had at Wasabi — as it’s the only spot in Sydney where you can dine while gazing at a sculpture resembling pieces of giant poo on sticks, against the city skyline.
Situated just opposite the iconic Coke sign, and behind Ken Unsworth’s infamous, long standing, iconic sculpture ‘Stones Against the Sky’, which is referred to by locals as ‘poo on sticks’.
Wasabi is perched at the peak of the Cross, from here you can gaze down at the bustle of William Street and discuss the artistic value of the sculpture, while you dine. The food at Wasabi is standard Japanese fare, nothing special or to write home about, but the location is definitely unique enough to warrant a visit.

Ever had a undying urge to ask a perfect stranger out on a dinner date? This is the sort of effect Wasabi Bistro has on a person — just to experience the succulent taste sensations within the bounds of the Wasabi Bistro menu you will be driven to extreme lengths. I can’t believe for such a prime location, Darlinghurst that the prices are magnificently humble. I had to indulge, even though my dinner date couldn’t join me, I wasn’t set back. I just had even more of an excuse to indulge on the fine Japanese cuisine this restaurant offers. It’s image is well presented and neat casual. The lighting is dim inside but not dark and dinghy and tables for one are welcomed and will not be shunned away. You can get take away but they don’t home deliver. They also encourage you to tell them about your allergies before they cook your meal for you. What I love about most Japanese food restaurants is the openess in the kitchen, they create the food as part of a quasi-​performace which allows us to be part of the magical transformation of ingredients into unique gastronomic delicacies.
