A Japanese restaurant based in the Washington, DC area that features sushi on a conveyor belt is coming to the MetroWest area of Boston.
According to their website, Wasabi is planning to open at the Natick Collection on Route 9 near the Framingham line. Their Facebook page mentions that the new Wasabi in Natick will be set up with a 255-foot conveyor belt that allows diners to pick and choose what types of sushi they want to eat. The belt will have the ability to display more than 300 items at a time, according to the Facebook page.
An article in the MetroWest Daily News indicates that Wasabi, which will also have waiter service for drinks and non-sushi items from the kitchen, is hoping to open on August 5.
Wasabi first started out on 17th Street NW in the Farragut Square section of Washington, DC in 2006, eventually expanding to locations on Pennsylvania Avenue and in Tyons Corner in Virginia.
[August 31 update: Wasabi in Natick is now open.]
The address for this new Japanese restaurant is: Wasabi, 1245 Worcester Street (Route 9), Natick, MA, 01760. The website for all of the Wasabi restaurants can be found at http://www.wasabisushi.com/
