Servers are really aren’t polite. The couple next table arrived 20 mins after us and got food and drinks before we did. Just because they were friends with the server I guess. Server spent lot of time just talking to them rather than getting our orders.

Sashimi was super fresh and great value for the quality. Loud music in the dining area, so I wouldn’t suggest this place if you want quiet conversation. We went at 7:45 p.m. on a Friday.

We thought New Years Eve the staff and management should of have things dialed in for a busy evening… we had a reservation made for a bar table and as we walked in the hosts informed us we would have to wait for someone to get up before we’d get seated but it could be a long time because people were there to party. We should have clued into the couple leaving as we walked in that warmed us by saying “good luck in there, if you ever even get food.” We have dined at Wasabi many times but after this experience we won’t be any longer. We ended up getting sat next to the doors of the kitchen at a tiny table and it smelt like fish guts… ended up downing a bottle of sake and leaving to go to Ohana. If you want epic vibes, great food and excellent customer service then check out Ohana!!

I’ve been to enough sushi restaurants to know good vs bad. This restaurant leans on the bad. The quality of the fish was fine, nothing special, but also not bad. The issue is the portion size. The nigiri are laughably tiny. Also, service was ridiculously slow. We got our bill before we got our last sushi order delivered to our table.

Super disappointing for New Years. I booked a "Sushi Experience" at the sushi bar. The only part of the experience is getting a little Happy New Year headband. Otherwise it was just the standard menu. I came here because of the promised izakaya. I asked the waiter about the Omakase and he only said the number of "pieces". Turns out since I ordered the smaller number, I got sashimi only. Not what I expected. Also it was the thickest sliced sashimi I've ever seen. The only thing I could not eat was the tuna belly which I usually enjoy. Really chewy and sinewy. Both the waiter and the sushi chef were only there for days...green. They did comp a disappointing cocktail so that was nice. The gyoza I ordered tasted undercooked and looked like it had been frozen then panfried served upside down like a pancake. Parts of the dough were white and uncooked like what happens when you microwave Trader Joe's frozen gyoza. Won't be going back. I hear Shiros nearby is better. This place is a young persons party place. Best enjoyed inebriated.

I have been going to wasabi for a while for ambience and quality of sushi. The overall ambience and experience was still nice. Our server was lovely - very attentive, courteous and our food came out in time. The appetizers (shishito peppers and sashimi) were delicious. However, was disappointed with both the rolls - they were flavorless. I came here with a friend for an early New Year's Eve celebration based on my past experience with food but was a bit disappointed. Not writing them off yet but they need to raise the bar on their signature food - sushi!

If you're in the mid-20's to late 30's and are looking for a bar to eat sushi at with loud music, then Wasabi might be your place! When you do get service....the drinks come out fairly quickly. The drinks and food are hit/miss - old fashioned was mediocre; lavender drop was quite nice. The crispy rice and gyoza were fun & good; the chef's choice nagiri plate had some tasty and some decidedly less flavorful pieces.
