My son and I came in one evening for some sushi and it was good. We decided to sit at the sushi bar (quieter side) and we enjoyed our meal. One thing I noticed after the fact, was that I was billed incorrectly for one of our rolls and it was a roll that was a way higher price than what we actually ordered, so remember to double check your receipt!

Homestly, this place was alright. Service was great, Ron was funny and made some amazing food. I thought we'd get a bit more, but it was alright. Some girls came after and took a Polaroid of us, that's was kind of cool. Men's restroom had something wrong with it.. I hope they get that fixed. But overall it was great. Hope to see this business improve and have long lasting success.

The food today was not the best. I have never had crunchy shrimp before . The chicken was dry , and the eggs were as big as the chicken as you can see . I don’t know who was cooking today but the food was extremely overcooked. They have you check the food but you don’t really see how over cooked it is until your eating it and taste the dryness not to mention to the place has a horrible smell when you walk in.

We went during lunch right when they open. They get a good lunch crowd. Front desk greeters are friendly. The food did not take long to come out for sushi

The Best Christmas Gift and Experience for my Best Friend. We were seated @ our reservation time without delay. We both enjoyed the entertainment and atmosphere, and mostly the Steak, Shrimp and Scallops were Savory and Seasoned to Perfection.

We were in the area for my birthday weekend and decided to get lunch here around 12:40 pm on Saturday. There was already a crowd of about 20 people waiting in the lobby to be seated at the hibachi area. So, to avoid the crowd, we chose to be seated in the almost empty dining area near the sushi bar. We were seated at the 1st booth on the left nearest to the hostess table. Our booth had a damaged seat ripped shortwise in the middle that was poorly covered by off-color orange duct tape, which is where they lost 1 star on the atmosphere. There were 3 other customers in the dining area; 2 ladies seated in the booth next to us and 1 man at the sushi bar. Fairly empty for lunchtime. We were lucky and just beat the lunch crowd. Our waiter, Miles, took our drink order of 2 hot green teas soon after we were given the menu. While waiting, we each used the restrooms to wash our hands. They were clean and stocked. We then ordered our food from the lunch menu - my husband got the filet mignon, and I got the salmon roll lunch. Salmon roll was $8 for 6 very conservatively sized hand rolls. The rolls were OK in quality, but the nori (seaweed wrap) was definitely on the short side, and the rolls were opening / separating after I split up the rolls. Filet mignon lunch, around $26, was similar to other Asian restaurants that chop up the filet mignon vs. American places that let the customer cut their meat. Perhaps it's a way to minimize having steak knives at the table. My husband said his food was on the oilier side than he'd preferred. The meat was soft aside from 1 piece, which was extremely fatty / ligamenty. Green tea was very smooth, similar to gunpowder matcha. Clear mushroom soup that came with my husband's meal was very good, tasted like it had a chicken broth base. Total for everything was about $47, excluding a healthy tip. Parking note, there's a free lot outside with plenty of spaces, and if that fills up, there's extra space in the free parking lot for the mall area. Overall, this was an OK place. However, this is our first and last visit since we've had better quality Asian cuisine in restaurants with nicer kept facilities.

First off thank you to Wasabi for accommodating our very large party at the last minute. We had 35 people in our party with half being kids. The food was great however a few of us wished we could have had a noodle option instead of just the fried rice. Other than that the portions were perfect and even the kids size portions were great too. I truly appreciate that the hosts did whatever they could to get us all in quickly and the staff was great! A bit confused on the carrots at the end. A few got a couple of liquor drinks that were a bit stronger than anticipated however not bad.
