Over the last few years, Brookfield has seen the most improved dining
options in the area. Though new chain restaurants keep appearing, you can also
find serious Indian vegetarian food and some excellent Asian options,
especially Japanese. Wasabi (15455
W. Bluemound Road), open for more than a year now,
is an elegant sushi bar that makes some intricate specialty rolls. They also
prepare sunomono. Usually this is a cucumber and seaweed salad with octopus or
shrimp, but here it is treated like rolled sushi: The seaweed wrapper is
replaced with thin sheets of cucumber, and the other ingredients serve as the
filling. Some items add a bit of Western fusion. Bata yaki is a starter of
jumbo sea scallops prepared with garlic, olive oil and hints of hot pepper.
Delicious! This is a restaurant that always remains exciting.
