School holidays are here, and daylight saving has started! ☀️

It means lots of sushi being made throughout the day — so you’ll have plenty of fresh, freshly-made sushi to choose from. Not a bad problem to have!

And the weather is finally getting warmer very soon, it might be time to swap your usual hot coffee for something iced at Dabang Coffee 🧊☕️ 🥛🍦

Grab some fresh sushi, find a seat, enjoy an iced drink, and make the most of these longer day

Spring is definitely starting to feel real in Nelson ☀️

The days are getting warmer, the sun is staying out a little longer, and it finally feels like winter is behind us.

It’s been so nice seeing more people out and about, stopping by for some sushi, coffee, ice cream or a cold drink on a sunny day.

We’re very ready for more warm days like this — and maybe iced drink season is officially back? 👀
We’ve already started reaching for iced drinks again, so we’re taking that as a sign that warmer days are finally here ☀️

Come grab some sushi, find your favourite drink, and enjoy a little bit of spring with us!

By around 10am, our sushi cabinet is packed and ready for you! 🍣✨

Colourful, fresh, and looking almost too good to eat… almost. 😋
There’s plenty to choose from, so come by and pick your favourites while everything is fresh and fully stocked!

See you at Kimchi & Wasabi! 🥢💛

A little update from us! 🍣✨

We’ve recently changed all of our food labels. The writing might be a little smaller than before, but everything now looks much cleaner and more consistent and we’re quite happy with the new look!

We’ve also made a few updates to our gluten-free and vegan options, so if you notice anything different from before or you’re not sure about something, please feel free to ask one of our staff. We’re always happy to help😊

And one more very important request…

Please, please, PLEASE don’t feed the seagulls 🥲

Once they realise there’s food around, they tend to arrive with all their friends. They’ve even been known to steal sushi from other customers and cause quite a bit of trouble outside the shop!

We know they can be very convincing… but please don’t fall for it

Thank you for helping us keep the area comfortable for everyone! 🤍

New Arrival!!

Our hot cabinet has been looking extra full lately! ✨

If you’re in the mood for something warm and crispy alongside your sushi, there are plenty of little treats waiting for you — from crunchy tempura and dumplings to spring rolls, fritters, skewers and more.

And if you haven’t tried our newest additions yet, keep an eye out for the Prawn Balls ($4.50) 🍤 — three crispy prawn balls on a skewer, finished with sauce on top.

We also have our Vege Ba ($3.50), a long, crispy vegetable bar made(with egg and fish inside). It’s a simple but very satisfying snack, especially when it’s fresh and warm from the cabinet.

There’s always a little variety depending on the day, so have a look through the cabinet when you visit and see what catches your eye 👀

Grab a few pieces, add some sushi, and make your own perfect lunch! 🍣🥢

It’s a rainy one today ☔️

But have you noticed the days are slowly getting longer lately?

Maybe it’s because we’re getting a little more daylight, but we’ve noticed a few more of you popping in around 5pm these days. It’s a small thing, but it definitely makes us feel like spring is getting closer 🌿

On a rainy day like today, come in, stay warm, and enjoy some sushi in our cosy little café 🍣☕️

We’re still waiting for the weather to properly warm up — and when it does, we hope to see a lot more of you reaching for our ice cream too!

For now, stay warm, stay dry, and enjoy the extra little bit of daylight 🤍

✨ STAFF PICK ✨

A plate filled with some of my personal favourites paired with one of Dabang Coffee’s most popular drinks at the moment — our Iced Caramel Macchiato☕️🤎

Sweet and creamy with a lovely coffee kick, and made even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream🍨 and caramel drizzle on the top!

Come by and find your own favourite combination!

🚧 Half the roadworks are done… and we’re much easier to reach! 🙌
The intersection is now open towards Trafalgar Street, so popping in for your sushi or coffee is much simpler again.

Thanks to everyone who kept supporting us during the roadworks❤️

It’s going to be a very chilly few days ahead!
Please stay warm, take care of yourselves, and don’t forget to treat yourself to something comforting

See you soon for fresh sushi, great coffee, and a warm welcome at Kimchi & Wasabi & Dabang Coffee🍣☕

🇰🇷 Have you ever tried Korean-style Jeon?

Most traditional Korean jeon is pan-fried, but ours is deep-fried for an extra crispy bite✨

It’s warm, crunchy, and filled with prawns and vegetables, making it the perfect snack to grab on the go

You’ll find it waiting in our hot cabinet, so why not give it a try? 😊

⚠️ Contains prawns (shellfish) — please be mindful if you have allergies.

In Korea, there are many different kinds of jeon, including:
🥬 Vegetable Jeon
🦑 Seafood & Green Onion Jeon (Haemul Pajeon)
🌶️ Kimchi Jeon

We hope to introduce more of these traditional Korean favourites to Nelson one day🇰🇷❤️
