If your travel plans include a vacation to Oahu, HI, treat yourself to one of Honolulu’s top casual dining spots at the Wasabi Bistro. Found at The Breakers Hotel, this poolside restaurant is a gathering spot for locals and tourists alike because of its modern spin on traditional Japanese food. Plan at least one night out during your stay to try these dishes on their menu.

4 Dishes to Try at Wasabi Bistro

1. Calamari Salad

Squid is a delicacy alone, but breaded and fried as calamari, it becomes an irresistibly chewy delight. Wasabi Bistro balances the seafood with greens in their calamari salad. Tossed with a mixture of lemon juice and garlic, this popular dish’s flavor comes from special seasoning and dressing.

2. Papaya Seafood Motoyaki

A Japanese staple, motoyaki traditionally involves oysters baked in sauce on their shells. Wasabi Bistro’s unique twist features the tasty fruit papaya as its base for an extra large, sweet and savory version of the dish.

3. Fresh Lobster Sashimi

If you love sashimi, you need to try the bistro’s lobster sashimi. Though the crustacean is usually cooked, its fresh, raw meat is lighter and more succulent. Lobster sashimi is a rare dish that will give you something to talk about long after your vacation ends. 

4. Beef Tenderloin Katsu

Most Japanese restaurants serve pork katsu, but the Wasabi Bistro offers something slightly different. Juicy pieces of beef tenderloin are coated in seasoning and fried for this delicious entrée, a more upscale form of a common dish.

Whether you’re in the mood for an appetizer, salad, sushi, or full Japanese meal, you’ll find something to please your palate at Wasabi Bistro. Book a room at the Breakers Hotel in Waikiki and enjoy a meal at their poolside restaurant every day. Visit the website to learn more about rooms and rates, and reserve today by calling (808) 923-3181.
