Absolutely delicious! The portions are massive compared to what most other restaurants give you. 10/10 will definitely be visiting more often.

Absolutely love this restaurant! We've been coming here for years. Even after we moved out of state, the owner still remembers my name and order. Delicious food and great service!

Food is great. I ordered 1 salmon roll and 1 tuna roll. The rolls are chopped into 6 (see photo). They listened to my special instructions of not including wasabi.

I usually love their sushi and this is the first time I've ever gotten this item before. They say it's a volcano roll but it's just fake crab swimming in mayonnaise. I feel like I have a heart attack if I eat this

I’ve been going to this place for a LONG LONG time. The wonderful owner is always so nice to me and takes the time to actually get to know her regular customers. I’ve never had an issue sitting in or getting Togo food and I’m sure if I did she would fix it no problem.

We've always said we were going to try Wasabi "some time" but never have until last night. Unfortunately, it was right before they closed. Not sure what they even sold, but we assumed sushi. (named Wasabi after all) We walked in, and they were friendly, helpful, and patient in getting our food ordered, prepared, and served. English is obviously not their first language, so be patient. Everything was delicious and fresh. Now, if you want fancy decor and packaging, you might be disappointed in their Styrofoam box. And their soda machine is either out of adjustment, low on CO2, or just has funky water. The coke was okay, but not quite "right"... But if you just want good sushi at a very good price, give them a try. We might go back again today!

I just love this place! They never disappoint. Best sushi ever.
