A cozy, tucked-away modern Japanese spot with generous portions, quick service, and standout sushi and small plates, though ramen and desserts can be inconsistent.
Infinite Wasabi delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong sushi and small plate execution paired with efficient, friendly service and notably fast kitchen pace. However, quality variation on ramen and fried items plus occasional tight seating and comfort issues prevent grade A territory. The hidden laneway location and generous portions make it a worthwhile detour for casual Japanese dining in Southbank.
Hidden off the river walk, Infinite Wasabi feels cozy and tucked away yet hums with steady energy. Plates land fast, staff keep things moving, and diners call out fresh fish and polished presentation. One happy regular said the team is friendly and efficient, with food arriving quickly. A few note tight seating and occasional kitchen smoke indoors. The cooking leans modern Japanese with playful fusion twists: seared salmon nigiri, beef tataki, kimchi-spiked rolls, and a sesame-broccolini that wins surprise raves. Rolls and small plates shine most; ramen splits opinion from warming and rich to light on umami. Portions are generous and pricing lands well for Southbank, making it great value for the area despite some inconsistency on off-days. Families fit right in. Kids gravitate to chicken katsu and udon, plus easy wins like edamame and fries. There is no dedicated kids menu, but the broad lineup makes ordering simple. Desserts are basic and one diner found ice cream icy rather than creamy, so consider sweet bites elsewhere if that matters.
