Shopping in Detroit: Wasabi Korean and Japanese Restaurant

Sushi anyone? A new Japanese and Korean Cuisine Restaurant has opened on Woodward and East Kirby in the Midtown/Cultural Center Area in the 1920s-era Art Deco Park Shelton Building right across the street from the Main Library, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Detroit Historical Museum.

Wasabi offers both traditional Korean food including the "Dolstor Bibimbab" and Korean barbeque, as well as Japanese shrimp tempura, and several noodle dishes. There is a separate ala carte sushi menu featuring a nod to Michigan with a menu item called the "Michigan roll" which is a shrimp tempura roll with crab salad and jalapenos.

Proprietor and manager Chul Kang and Chef Seonghum Kim provide friendly and helpful service to patrons in the walkable Midtown Neighborhood. For those coming to visit the Cultural Center, parking is available in the Park Shelton Building. All major credit cards are accepted, there is no smoking in the restaurant, and it is wheelchair accessable. Prices range from $2.95 for an appetizer to $23.95 for a full dinner.
