Rare sid_9169 Posted June 15, 2021 #26 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I went back and dug up the pictures from Wasabi when I was on the Breakaway in 2019... This was back when you could pay a $7 upcharge and use an SDP credit and order as many items as you'd like... Of course, now there's no upcharge, but you can only order four items... And, here's a link to that portion of the review, which begins further down the page... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a sampler once at a high end Japanese Restaurant and hated everything I sampled. 💩 Fair enough? 🙂 I don't like my fish raw, I know that makes me not sophisticated in this day and age.

I understand it is limited to "4 menu items," but not sure how much food that would be. Four tiny pieces of sushi? Four platefuls of sushi? If I order a soup appetizer, does that count as one of the 4? Does anyone have knowledge/pics of this? Thanks! Don't know what ship you are planning to be on. However, 2017 Escape Food Republic menu below. Later ships, Bliss for example, have the SCREENS on the tables with the menu and pictures and descriptions and self-ordering. Love Food Republic for multiple visits. 2017 Escape - Food Republic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

complawyer Posted June 16, 2021 #31 Share Posted June 16, 2021 one or two nights at the sushi bar is nice (depending on how many nights of the cruise) while i do enjoy sushi, i wouldnt waste one of the free dining meals at the sushi bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen a paper menu at Food Republic. They made major changes to the menu btw, took away the duck dumplings, I was a sad man when I saw that.

That said, despite the fact that she'll drink beer with me, I can pretty much guarantee that she'll never be a rat.... (at least not a very "good" 🐀) That's right, rats like cheese, not slimy, uncooked creatures from the sea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I look at our pictures from our cruise and they show the tabletop iPad menus (which we really like) at our Food Republic sit downs. We believe we got this picture from the "restaurant menu display" in the lobby at the restaurant reservations promotional table when 1st boarding the cruise (at that time she would take pictures of all of the menus). Make sense? 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sense? 👍 Totally, and now I am going to look in December to see if they still have a menu like that at the door. I aways thought it was odd there was no real menu you could get a picture of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL For the record: Not all sushi is raw fish. Technically sushi is defined as sour rice…vinegar is added to make sushi rice. Sushi made with scallops are cooked scallops…same with shrimp. California rolls are made with veggies and crab stick(cooked pollock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried multiple "rolls" that have nothing raw in them, and they are just not my cup of tea. But I do understand it is not all raw, just most of it.

My wife, well, just prefers that I keep such on my side of the table. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food Republic is open for 90 minutes (12:00-1:30) on sea days. Wasabi is usually open a little longer... if I remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Encore in October and can't find it listed in the specialty dining options. Thx. (I don't touch sushi but my adult daughter lives on the stuff...) Yes, on the Encore, there is no Wasabi. You need to go to Food Republic if you want sushi. You can go a la carte or your SDP will get you 4 dishes from the menu. Example pricing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
