I ate here again with a friend and politely asking the cashier for more avocados in my sushi worked wonders! I ate the sushi burrito called The Chosabi Burrito and it was delicious. I almost tried their shaken fruit tea drinks prepared by their own hands but decided just to drink a regular bottled tea drink. I really liked this meal this time. This Chosabi Burrito has a lot of seafood meat in it too. The salmon was filling! read more

Food is good. I guess it's "fast food" Japanese and service is good. The ambiance is "strip mall" Cafe and this is expected. If you want ambiance, go to Cho's Wasabi restaurants. I highly recommend! read more

+.5 for service It's not everyday where you can find a "sushi burrito" or a burger that revolves around sashimi. I've been here a few times now, having once ordered one of their many sushi burrito varieties and once more recently for Burger Week, when they had the Tokyo Burger. Their sushi burritos are gigantic and really good, especially given the prices. You can choose brown rice if you're not fond of regular white rice. Their Tokyo Burger consisted of: "Creamy spicy ahi tuna topped with masago caviar, wasabi aioli, tamari sweet soya sauce and guacamole, all beautifully placed on a tempura sushi rice bed." The tempura rice bed broke apart quite easily, but everything else was really good. An interesting innovation of traditional nigiri/roll/sashimi ingredients in a burger, similar to how a similar concept is used for the burritos they make. No complaints about the service at all. Water is self serve.Definitely a place I'd recommend for a Japanese palette that wants some uniqueness beyond sushi/sashimi/rolls. read more

Arrived about 15 minutes before their posted closing time. The server was kind enough to fire up the grill after telling me he had already shut it down. Had the Korean beef bowl on his recommendation. Delish despite the beef being a bit chewy. Otherwise the veggies were fresh, rice and sunny side egg cooked perfectly. read more

Chosabi - Menu - Asian Fusion Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Great location. Parkade right next door & also 2hr meter parking on the street. Restaurant is clean & comfortable. Food is fantastic. I had the jumping shrimp & was full after. Basically it's a sushi roll that is not cut into small pieces, wrapped in paper so you can hold it. Mix your Wasabi & soya sauce and pour on with every bite!! The also have rice bowls which looked amazing!! If you're going for lunch get there just before noon as it was busy. The line was to the door. But seemed to move fairly quickly. read more

Cho Venevongsa, owner of the Wasabi group of high-end sushi restaurants has opened up this casual Asian eatery that serves up sushi burritos, Vietnamese style banh mi sandwiches and rice bowls. There's a bunch of Asian style foods and some fusion stuff going on and it's all pretty good. This place opened in the new year and is located in the Exchange District on King Street with neighbours such as Bronuts and King + Bannatyne. Funny how this parkade is now housing three of the trendiest eateries in this area. The sushi burrito is a cute concept. I mean they maybe the first to create that and you kind of wonder why no one has made a really giant maki roll. Why go dainty and order 2-4 maki rolls for lunch when you can eat a burrito sized one for $12-$14. I had the chosabi burrito ($14) tuna, salmon, crabmeat, tempura flakes, spicy aioli, avocado, sushi rice and soy sauce. $14 felt kinda steep but no one said sushi is cheap and it was worth it for the ingredients and portion size. This burrito can easily be shared - I ate half and was pretty full. I didn't add any of the soy sauce or wasabi given to me as the burrito had enough flavour in of itself. It's a mega maki and pretty good! Also tried the banh mi which is a Vietnamese style sandwich though they had other fusion flavours, I went with the original ($8.50) - Vietnamese cold cuts, pate, pickled vegetables, cilantro, cucumber, mayo. You can ask to make it spicy so it's more close to the authentic banh mi. The sandwich was a good portion and the taste was almost there if you want to compare it to the real deal. The banh mi typically has the balance of sweet, savoury, spicy, sour but this one was pretty mild on all fronts - maybe it needed more oomph from some more spicy, a stronger pate or the pickled vegetables. But overall decent. They also have some to-go boxes like sashimi and some salads in the fridge. The space has an industrial look to it but with lots of brightness from the mural and the pretty spring flowers on the communal table. Service is extremely friendly and food service was very prompt at lunch. I think their overall service despite it's casual nature is way better than the sit down restaurants which can be very hit and miss. Only thing that would make this place even better would be having the ability to order a half burrito (or a smaller version) and then add some sashimi or something on the side. Open 10:30 am to 8 pm Mon to Sat. read more

It's the best I love there sushi burritos there sooooo good I love the interior and it's super good and I like the to go boxes there really cool but I always finish mine I've seen them because of my sister read more

Prior to coming here, I've been following them on Instagram and was really intrigued about their unique menu, and not your typical Asian food. First time going here yesterday. Place has a classy-feeling to it and atmosphere was comfortable. Me and my friend ordered: - The Original Banh Mi (Vietnamese Cold Cuts Sandwich): Sandwich was $8 and I found it expensive for a banh mi. The whole sandwich tasted bland and bread was kinda dry. The meat were lacking in flavour. I usually check what's inside my Banh Mi when I eat and Chosabi's banh mi only had very little mayonnaise and pate. The sandwich could also use more pickled vegetables. I would say it didn't taste like a banh mi to me at all. I could get bigger and better banh mi than this for less than $4 at Vietnamese places in Sargent or Ellice. - Vietnamese Style Iced Coffee It's not really a Vietnamese iced coffee as they used espresso beans and not Vietnamese coffee. I didn't expect much because I knew it's just a "Vietnamese style" coffee (I asked on their Instagram if they use Vietnamese coffee and they replied to me saying they're just using espresso beans). Didn't finish the whole drink as I found it bitter (could have use a little bit more condensed milk). I usually like the bitterness of authentic Vietnamese iced coffee but for this one, it just didn't work for me. - Pacman Rice Bowl (Filipino Sausage longganisa & cured pork tocino, fried egg, mixed veggies on top of white rice) I found this dish good. The longganisa (Filipino sausage) tasted really authentic like the ones you can buy from Filipino/Asian stores and it was just cook perfectly. The cured pork (tocino) though was just okay, nothing special. The rice wasn't your ordinary Asian rice but it's good and kinda sticky. But for $12, I would say it's expensive because the serving was small. - Thai Iced Tea I loveeeeeeeee their thai ice tea! I was kinda scared to order it at first because the thai iced tea I usually drink is mixed with milk/cream, but this one it's just brewed thai tea with lemon juice. It's so refreshing and it's not that sweet, has a little bit of tangy taste because of the lemon juice and it goes perfectly with the flavour of thai tea. Would definitely get this again! Can imagine drinking this during summer! - Matcha Latte It was good but nothing special. But you can really taste the bitterness of the green tea. Their sushi burrito sounds interesting but I'm not a big sushi fan and I think I wouldn't be able to finish the whole thing if I order it.  I would recommend this to those who would like to explore and try out new things and doesn't really care for the price as some of their menu can be a little bit expensive. read more

Sushi burrito we ordered dinner from Chosabi The jumping shrimp roll, and another roll with assorted fish and tuna. Pricing is definitely reasonable for large portions rolls costing between 13 and $14 . I liked the option that you could choose brown rice rather than the regular white. We ordered from Skip the dishes, I don't know if it was a driver or the restaurant that we ordered three burrito rolls and got one napkin that with a little down. Still I give you five stars because the food was fantastic read more

Sushi Burritos is one of my new fav things! A unique concept that makes you fall in love with it! I visited the location with my mom in the heart of the exchange. Great easy to locate location. Was a perfect stop before one of our fringe shows. The restuarant is chic, modern & clean. There is adequate number of seating inside and a cute little patio outside. Service was friendly & food prepared quickly. Prices are very reasonable. Being vegetarian I was happy to see some great options to try. I ordered the buddha burrito sushi roll, which was amazing. Very fresh, flavorful and filling. My mom had a chicken sushi burrito also which said was fresh and filling! This is a place we will be visiting again for sure! read more

Sushi burritos for the win! If you haven't yet tried it, head over asap and make it happen. Both of the Winnipeg locations (King and Pembina) are funky, fun, comfortable and more importantly, tasty. The decor is creative, the staff is lovely and the selection is exactly what you're looking for - both for food and drink. I literally CRAVE sushi burritos now. The Chosabi is my fav, followed closely by the Jumping Shrimp. I want to try the poke bowl but I just love the sushi burritos so much! Maybe one day I'll go for lunch and dinner and then I can try both (ah, you and I both know I'm going sushi burrito for each of those meals if that was to happen). I want to take everyone from Winnipeg and beyond to Chosabi as I feel like everyone needs to experience this Winnipeg hot spot! Bonus, they're also on Skip the Dishes if you're craving it from home. You'll miss out on the cool vibe of both locations, but you'll still get the food so you're still winning. read more

This is kind of the best of both worlds..my first sushi burrito! The fish was very fresh and the staff was pretty helpful. Lots of options, they were out of green tea when I was there. They have the traditional ice thai tea w/ the lemons (no milk)..it was good but a bit too lemony. Can't wait to come back to try their other options. read more

Chosabi - Jumping shrimp! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

Decent place in Winnipeg for a large selection of Asian and Asian fusion items. Great location in the Exchange District. Space is open, large and modern. During the summer time, there is a small outdoors patio in the front. Customer service is great. You can get take-out relatively quickly. I usually order the Poke bowl or ramen, both of which are fair quality. I believe Chosabi was one of the first places to serve Poke. Price is a bit on the higher end. I have had better and cheaper at other places. read more

The thought of sushi being a burrito sounds interesting because why not eat your sushi in really big servings, right? Burritos are so easy to eat because it is contained in a wrap and all you have to do is just take a bite, lol, so it's really cool. What I don't like about it is that it is so basic and I find that I'm paying not for the quality but for the idea of a sushi in a burrito. Period. The sushi part of it is not as satisfying as a real burrito cause you get more rice than the "good stuff". I would go back because it's such a cool food invention but not when I'm craving for s read more

Chosabi - I don't remember what these were, sorry! Lol but this is how their presentation is. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Winnipeg, Manitoba

What a cool, fresh and very different concept. Have you ever wanted to just bite into a sushi roll? Introducing Sushi Burritos. This is kind of a modern hybrid of a fast food restaurant minus the grimy tables and fried foods, add tasty Mr Chow beer and high quality chef-prepared food with a funky modern atmosphere, cool patio, and clean bathrooms. Even if you don't like sushi (from the sea = not for me), try a chicken, pork, or tofu rice bowl, you won't be disappointed. read more

What a great concept. Healthy, Tasty, Light. Call it fusion, but its really not. Call it fast food, but its not. Call it Health food, but its not. It's all of this and more and its not. If I lived or worked int this part of the world, it would be my go to lunch or light dinner. Well thought out flavor packages with textural delights. Gotta love it. read more

This place is good, had the happy Buddha burrito and it was just the right amount of everything!

I loved their King St. Chicken burrito! Miso soup was also good! They have iced thai tea which could have been better if they put milk in it. Will definitely try the Jumping shrimp the next time I drop by. read more

This place was absolutely fantastic. The sushi burritos where to die for, I can't even tell you how good they where.... you have to go for yourself and try. I got the Chosabi burrito and it was perfect. The servers even let me get it without tempura bits, and crab meat which made it ten times better for me. I can't recommend this place enough. Easy going, fast service, no hassle and great prices. read more

This place is quite good. I had the K-pop bowl and it was pretty yummy. I like that they give you a choice of beef, chicken or tofu for almost all the bowls. Also, I had a beer called ... the Mr. Chai or something like that. It was good. I'll be going back. read more

A good sushi burrito and poke bowl spot in Winnipeg. The restaurant is clean and trendy cafeteria style with lots of seating area. The staff are helpful in recommending solid suggestions with lots of bottled drinks and they have coffee bar for hot drinks. The Gen Ma Cha, roasted green tea is so good and smells exceptional on a cold fall day. read more

I went to Chosabi on Portage Avenue. The food and service were excellent. If you have not tried sushi burrito, you should try. Staff were friendly and fast. Convenient location. If you are still hungry after eating sushi burrito, another must try is the jumping shrimp. The menu does not have many choices but all are good and delicious. read more

Sushi roll, burrito style. I had the signature roll, the Chosabi. Tuna, salmon, cuke, lots of mayo. It was just okay. It had all the flavour of a sushi roll at a premium price point $15. I felt like sushi and got what I was looking for but paid a bit too much. This Chosabi was pre made, wrapped and ready to go, which qualifies as pret â manger to me, deli style. Tasty bite, Value lacking. read more

Delicious! I love the sushi/burrito idea, its the perfect combination of two great foods! I had the jumping shrimp sushi burrito and it was excellent. read more

Very unique idea for the sushi burrito. It was fun to try the first time. I ordered the vegetarian burrito and it was so huge I had to take the second half togo. I went again a few weeks later and ordered the same thing and it was half the size. The price is a little high for lunch so the first time I felt like it was well worth it. The second time I wouldn't have paid as much for such a small portion. Hopefully as they grow they will have more systems and procedures to keep everything same from visit to visit. Still very tasty and worth it to try at least once. read more

I love the chosabi roll at this location , tried pembina one. Def not the same. Location on king is way better. I tried the Thai iced tea before. It was so good. Gave another try omg it was so concentrated my friend hated it. So I tried again with another friend. They didn't finish the drink and it was really bad. So don't get the Thai iced tea. I tried the norwegian salmon sashmi there, it was so good. And you can see the layer of the richness on it. Tasted like the sea. So fresh. Love this place read more

Just opened and already looks like it's running on all cylinders. Had the Green Curry Tofu and the Bahn Mi Holy Shrimp. Super tasty, came out quick, looked and tasted great. Reasonably priced too. This place is gonna be packed for Fringe Fest, Jazz Fest etc. Gonna have to come back for the Filipino inspired the Manny Pacman. read more

I'm visiting from San Diego, so I'm used to a large variety of authentic Asian fusion, and that may have tainted my experience here. That being said, I've never had such bland curry in my life. Maybe the sushi burrito is better (it seems to be their gimmick) but I had the Thai Green Curry, and was thoroughly disappointed. There was about 3-4 tablespoons of sauce for a big scoop of rice, veggies, and meat. The veggies were cooked well, as was the tofu, but they tasted as if they were pre cooked then tossed in a dollop of sauce, rather than spiced and cooked with purpose. And again, there just wasn't enough sauce. I'm used to getting a full bowl of sauce and veggies and meat to go with the rice, so maybe this is just their style. Two stars lost for food. The other star is lost because the cashier had a huge issue getting our tea ordered. I asked for the genmai cha, which received a blank look. I described it as the green tea with toasted rice, to which she tried to give me plain green tea. It literally took 2 minutes and another worker eventually had to go and point to the tea on the physical menu. In my personal opinion, you should know the names of the teas you serve. All in all, cost was about $16 for a subpar dish and two teas. So again, this review is coming from someone used to a very authentic Thai experience, but I'm used to getting about twice the food for about half the price. I'm hoping that the restaurant can better the food, because the atmosphere is great and it seems like they have a nice set up. read more
