Last week the family noticed a new restaurant called Wasabi Warriors as we passed by Century Mall. The name is cool and catchy so I instantly remembered it when I received an invite. Of course, I gladly accepted.
Swinging
Chair Establishments decided to bring in this concept to the Philippines
and Hongkong. According to Swinging
Chair Establishments' business manager,
Kimmi Siu Dewar, Kimmi Siu Dewar
what sets Wasabi Warriors apart from
numerous existing sushi shops in the Metro is it's green heart. The Wasabi Warriors are five brothers: Chicken Warrior, Beefy Warrior, Porky Warrior, Ocean Warrior and Veggie Warrior who only draw their sword to do good. They abide with their Bushido warrior code: To Eat
Good, To Do Good and To Feel Good, it seeks to respect their journey, assure quality, freshness and taste with their honor on the line.
As much as
possible, all their food items are made from locally sourced and
organic ingredients. They exercise sustainable, economical and honorable practices not only with their food but in everything. The entire restaurant is made of
recycle materials and I noticed that they practice proper waste
segregation as well. They also incorporate corporate social
responsibility into their operations by training and hiring from local youth organizations to help in the social and professional development of young adults living in extreme poverty .
If you decided to stay and dine in, there's a long bar and tables for you.

blackened out) like "organic", "free range" and "do good".
 |

Sauces
Unlike other sushi shops, here you have 3 options for sauces: the
traditional Soy Sauce and their specially made (made fresh everyday) Wasabi Mayo and Spicy Mayo.
What We Got
Warrior Rolls
 |
| California (100 php), Panko Prawn (150 php), Tuna Mayo and Avocado (100 php) and Seaweed Salad (100 php) |
So
here's what we had. Note that this is sample serving size. The actual size of 1 roll is the one in the display chillers.
 |
| California (100 php), Fresh Salmon & Avocado (150 php), Honey Soy Chicken (120 php) and Spicy Tuna (100 php) |
My
favorite rolls are the California, Honey Soy Chicken and Beef Teriyaki.
 |
| Spicy Tuna (100 php), Black Rice Seaweed (100 php) and Black Rice California (100 php), |
They also have the black rice and brown rice options which I noticed are priced the same without any premium. I'm sure my family will be happy with this because we are used to eating black rice.
 |
| Chicken Katsu & Avocado (120 php), Panko Prawn (150 php), Beef Teriyaki (120 php), Panko Prawn (150 php) and Tuna and Avocado (120 php) |
 |
| Gyoza Pork (6 pcs/150 php) |
I was expecting the
Gyoza to be steamed because they had the steaming container same as the ones used for dimsum. But, to my surprised they were fried.
 |
| Miso Soup (50 php) |
The Miso Soup is warm and flavorful. It is very
soothing to the tummy especially if you have it before or while having
the other cold items.
 |
| Seaweed Salad (120 php) |
I love the Seaweed Salad. You can tell in every crunchy bite that it is very fresh.
Nigiri Packs
 |
| ♥ Seared Teriyaki Salmon with Mayo (3 pcs/250 php) and ♥ Seared Teriyaki Salmon with Spicy Mayo (3 pc/250 php) |
The
must try and winning item for me is their Seared Teriyaki Salmon with Mayo (if the spiciness is not enough fpr you, you can add some
sauce) and Seared Teriyaki Salmon with Spicy Mayo (in case you can't handle
spicyness).
Warrior Hot Boxes
 |
| Warrior Udon Soup/Vegetarian Udon Soup (150 php) |
The
Warrior Udon Soup/Vegetarian Udon Soup is pretty good. This is a great affordable choice for a meal.
 |
| Beef Teriyaki Rice (250 php) |
The sauce of the Beef Teriyaki Rice is too sweet for me. But, I enjoyed the thin tender beef strips.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
We
Tsinoy Foodies welcome the
Wasabi Warriors here in Manila. We think its fresh, healthy, convenient and affordable selections will definitely do good here especially since many are now forced into a busy and hectic lifestyle.
