Wasabi & Teriyaki

9.6$$·727 reviews

Wasabi & Teriyaki cooks across two cuisines from one compact Cross Avenue kitchen — a Japanese sushi-and-roll menu running alongside Korean BBQ comfort plates like Bulgogi and Galbi, both written into the same daily order. The restaurant is small and the menu deliberately broad. Maki rolls carry the everyday order; special rolls, tempura, and bento sets stretch a longer dine-in meal; a Korean-leaning rice-plate lane sits on the same page for the table that wants something off the sushi line. Cross Avenue places the kitchen inside the Oakville Business Corridor, walking distance from the GO station, which gives the takeout pickup window as much weight in a day's service as the dine-in tables hold.

The maki line covers the recognizable order — Spicy Tuna, Cucumber, Philadelphia, and an Unagi Roll listed plainly as barbecued eel with avocado. The Special Roll section is where the kitchen pushes further: a Dynamite Roll built with deep-fried shrimp, crab, avocado, cucumber, and deep-fried yam; a Green Dragon layered with crab, avocado, cucumber, and a second pass of avocado on top; and the house Wasabi Special Roll, a deep-fried roll wrapping salmon, avocado, and cheese. The tempura page covers shrimp, vegetable, and calamari — five-piece, six-piece, fried lightly enough to hold through a takeout drive. Bento specials, udon combos, and teriyaki plates anchor the comfort-food side. The Korean lane then sits beside the sushi: Bulgogi sliced beef in Korean BBQ sauce served over rice and vegetables, BBQ Beef Galbi, Donkatsu, Spicy Pokum, Korean Ramyun. Love Combo and Love Boat sets are the answer for the table that wants a little of everything.

Why It’s on the Map

Three things this kitchen does the rest don’t

  1. 01

    Compact Sushi-and-Teriyaki Workhorse

    Wasabi & Teriyaki is strongest as a practical local restaurant rather than a showpiece. The menu gives Oakville diners rolls, tempura, teriyaki, bento, udon, and pickup formats in one compact place.

  2. 02

    Rolls, Tempura, and Korean BBQ Comfort

    The menu has more range than the name suggests. Spicy Tuna Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Bulgogi, Green Dragon Roll, and Calamari Tempura let one table move across sushi, frying, and hot-plate comfort.

  3. 03

    Takeout-Ready Group Ordering

    The takeout-only tray lane gives the restaurant a clear group-use case. It is a good fit for pickup meals where rolls and sushi sets need to be organized before the rush, not improvised at the counter.
