New sushi restaurant - Wasabi

There is a new sushi restaurant in Paramaribo - Suriname.  It is called Wasabi, and is located where Roline's used to be located on the Weg naar Maretraite (or Gompertstraat).
I went and had dinner there -- and I must say that my review will be somewhat biased because they have..... Thai ice tea.... ooooohhh be still my heart AND plum wine.  Yum yum yum.  :)

The menu is a very nice book with all pictures -- every dish (well nearly every dish) is shown with a nice big color picture and the prizes are listed with A, B and C -- so you can decide whether you'd like several small portions or just a few large portions.

We tried the miso soup -- delicious full of seaweed and very nice, the edamame -- don't bother, they were undercooked and ice cold, the fried dumplings -- we tried the chicken variety and they were very very good -- thin wrapping and a lot of very tasty filling/ strangely though they were served with a sauce similar to mayonaise... (?), and salmon sashimi -- delish served over some veggies and ice.  For sushi we tried some rolls with roe -- don't quite remember the name with it was a dish with three rolls all different types, and the unagi roll -- the proportion seemed a bit off -- there was no way to put the entire roll in your mouth at once given the amount of rice and the size of the piece of eel; if however, you tried to eat it in several bites the whole thing fell apart since the eel wasn't really attached to the rice.  We also tried a different roll with cucumber and crab -- it was pretty good, but again huge sized rolls.

The menu is quite extensive including unagi, lobster or shrimp fried rice, udon noodles, grilled fish -- even an intriguing sounding sake salmon, chicken, steak and pork chops.

The highlight of the meal was the Japanese soda -- which required the waiter to open the bottle -- it was delicious and kinda cool.  :)

The interior is unrecognizable -- if you were a Roline's client.  It looks very nice/ nice atmosphere and there is a nice wooden deck outside dining area.  :)

I will definitely be returning if they keep up the quality of their food and service.
