Hi friends! How’s life? Mine is good. In an attempt to get out of the house daily (yeah, I started going a little stir crazy early last week), I’m currently at the library catching up on computer stuff. I noticed some pictures of the lunch Adam and I had at Wasabi in Natick a few weeks back and thought it’d be fun to do a quick post to introduce you to this spot… if you haven’t already been 
Wasabi is newish kaiten dining sushi restaurant located inside the Natick mall. There is a conveyor belt that runs through the entire space with plates of sushi (and other Japanese dishes) on it. You watch them pass by and grab what you like. At the end of the meal, the waitress adds up your bill based on the empty plates. Fun and fast! 
Oh and the plates are color-coded, with each color representing a price category. The most expensive plate as you see below is $5, so you really can try a whole bunch of dishes. Love it!
[There are a few other dishes you can order straight off the menu, including soups, salads and some hot appetizers.]
I’ve seen this conveyor belt concept in airports in London. I’m glad they finally brought it to the U.S. (or should I say… Boston area since Wasabi appears to be a chain).
Which one is it gonnna be?
Adam and I tried a few plates as a light lunch. This guy was my favorite:
Tyson’s Roll
It was sort of like a deconstructed California roll (with the crab on the outside) topped with seaweed salad and wasabi cream. It tasted super fresh and delicious.
The seared salmon with red pepper coulis was pretty boring.
Adam got the crunchy salmon. It was pretty fun dipping the maki in the panko mixture for some extra crunch
These two rolls were sort of forgettable. Solid but nothing special.
Eel cucumber maki
Lucky roll – mango, salmon, green and red tobiko (and wasabi cream)
Our bill was about $20 for all of this. Definitely the perfect spot to refuel at during your next shopping spree in the Natick mall.
Have you ever been to a kaitan sushi place?
I have not been to a place like this before but this looks like a lot of fun!
that certainly does look like a fun way to eat sushi
I’m glad you posted about this! I’ve seen it but haven’t tried it yet.
How fun! I always see that sushi place when I’m at the Natick Mall but I haven’t tried it yet. Now I will after seeing your post.
So neat! I’m planning a trip to the Natick Mall sometime soon, and I’ll have to scope out Wasabi.
I had been to a place like this in Australia when I studied abroad there 4 years ago…I have been on the lookout for one in the states so I am very excited to try this place out!
i went to this place a couple months ago- liked it and can’t beat the prices!
wow that’s such a cool idea, i love it. your fave sush looks delish
I’m a frequent visitor of the Natick Mall
I see this place everytime but have never tried it…mostly because I’m usually with my mom who doesnt like sushi, but it looks fun! Good to know you liked it!
That is such a cool idea, I hope we get something like that in AZ!
I’ve been to a a place like this north of Seattle when I used to live there. It is a lot of fun trying out different kinds of things!
this is so cool! I have heard of it in other countries, how exciting its making an appearance near us. the sushi looks great!
I’ve never had a meal like this- looks like such a fun experience! We’re not far from Natick- thanks for the info!
So fun, that’s right in the new part of the mall right? As soon as I can eat sushi again, I’m so there!
Yup, right there! Also, they have quite a few cooked things in case you can’t wait
