| "...he
(the chef and owner, Doug Chi Nguyen)
has created a kind of New Japanese cuisine,
combining traditional recipes with European
techniques and ingredients. The results
can be spectacular in sushi rolls and
in Omakase Creations (which translates
more or less as chef’s choices)
and Small Plates, (some not so small).." |

| "Wasabi
Chi is a happy place with dishes that
are culinary-eclectic, an attentive
wait staff and funky music. Saturday

mirrors and vivid green and mustard
colored walls. The tiled sushi bar in
back gets a lot of action as does the
cocktail bar in front... Nobu, watch
out." |

| "While
so many other chefs try to incorporate
Asian influences into their classical
cooking, Nguyen is exactly the opposite
-- bringing French, Italian, even Mexican
influences into his." |

| "Owner Douglas
Nguyen's food was overall fun and first
rate. We decided against the beautiful
wooden boats of sashimi and novel sushi
pieces (inside out, spicy, seaweed wrapped
and tempura-stuffed) because so many
other small dishes appealed" |
