Wasabi Sushi Bar recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of its seventh restaurant. Located at 4239 Duncan Ave. in the Cortex tech district, the newest Wasabi location is in partnership with leading hotel development, management and investment firm Midas Hospitality.
The nearly 4,300-square-foot restaurant is situated next to the Midas owned and managed Aloft Hotel by Marriott located at 4245 Duncan Ave. Founded in 2003, Wasabi Sushi Bar features a variety of sushi rolls and an assortment of Japanese cuisine with restaurants located in Illinois and Missouri.

“This partnership is unusual in that it is the first time Midas has entered into the dining industry, and it also marks the first time Wasabi has joined forces with another business,” said Midas Hospitality’s Co-founder and CEO David Robert. “We are confident that our union, combined with the vibrant and convenient location, will experience much success.”
