Wasabi Sushi Bar and Grill is set to open at the end of the year in the old Louisiana Culinary Institute building on Essen Lane. Ping Wei Li, one of the owners, says the plan is to have the restaurant open by November or December. Jian Bin, who owns the Grand Wall in Gonzales, is another owner. Li says the restaurant will feature a sushi bar and Japanese buffet and target diners who work at the businesses nearby, such as Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and The Shaw Group. —Timothy Boone
