Wasabi Restaurant Is Opening in Braintree

Last year, a Japanese restaurant based in the Washington, DC area that features sushi on a conveyor belt opened a location in the MetroWest area of Boston. And now, another outlet will be coming to the area, with this one being south of the city.

According to a post on the Craigslist site, Wasabi is going to be opening at the South Shore Plaza in Braintree, joining another location at the Natick Mall in Natick. Once it opens, the new eatery will be set up with a conveyor belt that allows diners to pick and choose what types of sushi, sashimi, and nigiri they want to eat.

It looks like Wasabi could be open by late July or early August.

[October 1 update: Wasabi is now open in Braintree.]

Wasabi first started out on 17th Street NW in the Farragut Square section of Washington, DC in 2006. Currently, they have two locations open, with one being in Natick and the other being in Tyons Corner in Virginia.

The address for this soon-to-open Japanese restaurant at Braintree's South Shore Plaza is: Wasabi, 250 Granite Street, Braintree, MA, 02184. The website for the Wasabi restaurants can be found at http://www.wasabisushi.com/
