the person I went with loves sushi. He was really impressed with the selection
Having been to Biergarten's in Germany, we found this to be not only fun and charming, but amazingly authentic.
We've alwasy sat at the Hibachi table but there was no space so the waitress said they give same service at regular tables. We sat at regular table and the food was terrible. Would never do that again.
We enjoy the whole Hibachi experience every time we go and it is delicious! My daughter loves it which is a plus.
Great fresh sushi, clean, lively but not too loud, very nice wait staff.
Food was great! Delicious sushi! Server was helpful and fantastic!

We enjoy the food and the experience. Will always need a coupon because the price is a little on the high side.
Over the years the hibachi "experience" at Wasabi has declined. The tableside cooks seem to just perform the basics and no longer engage with customers like the past. The food is still good which is why we still visit, just not as often as we used to.
The suishi is wonderful and soooo fresh. The other meals are good too. The couplke we were with ordered the Japanese dinner. Will go back again. Specialty drinks are SOOOOGOOD. Annette and Paul
The service is fantastic and they have delicious fajitas and tacos. Rosa is our favorite server. They have a great live music a few days a week, too.
Had a reservation but still took 20 minutes to be sat. Also very cold after hibachi done.

Besides enjoying the cooking of the food in front of us, we just loved our entrees. My teen daughter loved her salmon and would like to go back soon now.

Food was very good as was the service. We ordered from the regular menu and plan on going back to try the hibachi dinners.
The server placed the dishes on the other side of the table instead of in front of me. She never came to check how the meal was. The Teriyaki Salmon I had was just fair, although the serving size was generous.
Everything was very good. Service was great--the only small negative was that the food courses came out a little too fast--but overall a very pleasant.
Our server was very good, but could have used an additional server. Long wait to re-order drinks.
The food was great. Waiter (Chris) very attentive. Brought additional hot bread and kept water glasses filled. Brought samples of house wines for us to decide which to purchase.
Wasabi use to be my favorite place to eat. about a month ago they changed their menu and prices and the portions! it is nothing beyond AVERAGE now.
The hostess and wait staff are very attentive and fast. The food is fresh and very tasteful.
Their chefs put on a great show along with cooking the individual meals to perfection.
Chefs are great! Lots of humor and tricks. Food is fantastic.

Was told 3-4 minute wait for table and waited 30 minutes. Then we waited another 15 minutes for a menu. The waiter then got our salads wrong. Finally our bread plates were dirty covered with dried up food. Main courses were very good as usual. We will go back because we normally have a great experience there. Must have been an off night.
Very good with special request for dietary restrictions
Sushi is always fresh. Love it! This time, the service was great too.
good food and chef's show. only downside is it can be a bit noisy there.
It is always great here. Very consistent.
Hibachi chef was amazing. Engaged audience with cooking demos and amazing food
it bothers me that if I dine alone I have to wait till there is a Hibachi table of people before I can sit. they try to push the dining room on you which is food cooked in the kitchen on a stove and taste nothing like the Hibachi Grill!
it is always top notch! this time i tried something different, i got the deluxe Tempura seafood plate! yum my!
The fried rice is excellent, and the chef's put on a fun show.
My wife's pasta was excellent. My steak was tough and very fatty. I have eaten here before and it is excelllent. I just won't do a steak again.
This time around everything was great. The sushi is always fresh, never had any complaints about that. They should serve the salad with the meal with a Japanese dressing and not French! Denny the waiter was very attentive and friendly, the best they had so far.
Despite reservation had a 25 minute wait
always a great time
Wasabi is an excellent dining experience, The hibachi chefs are interactive and essentially provide an excellent meal with a great show. We will never get tired of the Wasabi experience.
Chef was entertaining. Food was very good.
10 yr. old granddaughter said it's the best sushi ever!! Husband loved it too!
Everything is always very good.
it is very upsetting that because I dine alone, I am kept waiting till more people come in. I understand about the chef at the table but still it is unfair that if a group comes in that take a whole table they are seated before me. very discriminating. I waited 25 minutes to be seated. also if they are going to work in the U.S. they need to be able to understand the language! very frustrating to have to use hand signs to communicate
Service is well taken
The waitstaff always seems standoffish. Perhaps it's the language barrier. The decor is fine, the noise level is reasonable, and the food is always excellent. We love returning for the udon noodles!
The food is always delicious. The salmon was perfectly prepared.
it has always been wonderful, but today it was over-cooked shrimp and tasted like it was cooked on a regular stove instead of a hibachi.
Nice atmosphere
price, quality, portions, taste all great
Great sushi!
its a fun place
just because i was alone i was not allowed to dine at the hibachi tables and sitted in the kitchen meal section.
We always eat sushi and it is really fresh and delicious.The service is friendly but too hectic. It should be a little more relaxing.Food comes practically all together from appetizer soup salad and sushi!
plenty of food, clean and enjoyable experience
Sushi is always delicious.
The sushi is always fresh and this time the service was great.
Good food. Good service
The food is delicious. The atmosphere is conducive to pleasant conversation. The service was excellent.
The sushi is always fresh the service okay but they rush you all the time. You have the last bite in of the appetizer, already comes the next course. Should be a little more relaxing!
Rated a 4 out of 5 because the decor and atmosphere could be better. The SUSHI and Habachi was delicious,
awesome
I went with my 4 year old daughter at lunch time. We were seated at a booth, and the server was very attentive. She was particularly sweet to my little one, asking her questions and making her feel important with special chop sticks. The food was great. I had several sushi rolls, and she had the stir fry udon noodles. With every bite she couldn't stop saying "mmmmmmm!" My maki rolls were good quality with large pieces of fish. We will certainly come back :)
food is always fresh
Food was delicious and service was friendly and prompt.
Service is always good. Food even better!
Service is always good. Food even better!
This was the first time we did the Habachi. Great food and plenty of it. The cook was very entertaining and the spritz of Saki was fun.
The food was very good. We enjoyed hibachi and teriyaki meals.
Food service and show excellent as usual.
We love it
The service was fine and the menu eclectic. Preparation and presentation done well.
Hibachi chefs are fun and they entertain the kids. I guess the cost of the entertainment is included in the price of the food. Food is good, not great. I would consider trying something besides hibachi next time.
The food was fresh and delicious. A pleasant surprise.
Food was very good as usual but quantity was much smaller than in the past. Server forgot our drink order and we didn't get them until 1/2 way through our meal. With another hibachi place opening down the street I would have thought they' would have stepped up their game not made cut backs.
Always good at Wasabi - food and service
Very overpriced for lunch. My meal had 5 medium shrimp. No fortune cookie The dining room was incredibly noisey.
The check, Jeff, was unbelievable! He was very friendly, put on a great show, and the food was excellent! The price was a little high, if it was a little lower we would come back much more often.
The shumai was too mushy and the pork dumplings just fair.
I was sat very close to the table next to me which was a bit uncomfortable. The seating area was very small and boxed in so it is difficult to hear someone sitting directly across from you.
Waitress not friendly
NOT ENOUGH ON MY PLATE TO FILL ME UP
The service was a little slow....
salad had the perfect amount of dressingsoup was hot and flavorfulentree was delicious and perfectly preparedexcellent service
Excellent main course and dessert (all we had). Not a place to go if you are in a hurry: slow food preparation, but the result is worth the wait. Presentation on the plate is a work of art, and the flavors are wonderful.
Food is fine chef is funA little noisyBut good time
The service was awful. We waited an hour for hour dinner. The waitress apologized saying that the other staff was gone on vacation. The amount of food, although flavorful, was poor. We were still hungry and the price was outrageous.
Very artistic & delicious presentations. Service was excellent!
Everything was very good. I just don't like the minimum that you have to spend.
Food was good. But we were over charged for the kids meals.
We went on a saturday night. we were told a 2o minute wait that turned into a 50 minute wait. once at the habachi server did not take a drink order for half the table since there are 12 people seated at one habachi she only took one side of the tables order before rushing off. It was crazy busy and loud. The entire dinner was rushed so they could get the next group in. the Scallops were undercooked.
Great food!
Great food!
Breakfast time was slow business and glad to have the quiet time to enjoy breakfast.
We love coming to Wasabi, great food and pricing!
We love the sushi at Wasabi.
we were there early on a Wednesday, so it was tough to get a good read.
The food was great! And the service was awesome. :)
Consitent quality and quantity to the food. Attentive staff.
The chicken wings are great and they have this blue berry lagger bear thats good as well!
Great food, choose from Japanese, Chinese or Thai! No matter what you order you will be pleased. Relaxing atmosphere and great staff. Love to come here!!
Always cooked fresh and oh so good.
We love to come here great atmosphere and the food is always fresh.
Service was very slow, but they were busy so it was expected.
When we walked in, there was no hostess or any wait staff instructing us to choose anywhere we'd like to sit.
Shrimp Tempura were excellent, as was my wife's Thai dinner. Only negative was the acoustics. Wasabi should. Consider placing drapes on the walls or ceiling.
The staff is friendly and the food is excellent.
Fabulous food. Very friendly staff. eager to please.
Very busy, kept trying to get waiters attention. Not enough staff to get best service.Very noisy small room we were in.
Good food and fun
The food at Wasabi is always good but the Sukiyaki on the menue is not the real thing. It is a beef noodle soup! We lived in Japan for a long time and never had it this way.The service was friendly but we don't like the way they rush you through the meal there. We asked for patients but did not get it. If it wasn't for the good food, we would not go there anymore!
Chicken was precooked and dry.
The food was ok, they didnt give enough for the money. 1 of our meals wasnt cooked good enough. There is no silver ware , you have to ask for it. No salt or pepper or suger ect. on the tables, you have to ask for that too. Hard to understand the staff..
clean. fun and excellent food
Was pleasantly surprised with the total experience. Everyone was attentive to detail and our dining experience. This was our first time at this location but will definitely not be the last. Great Job.
Noise of hibachi table destroys orderly manner one expects in Japanese restaurant

2nd visit. very good food
Seemed a little long for sushi. Got one roll and others came much later
Loved Wasabi.. Wonderful food and friendly staff
Loved Wasabi.. great food and friendly staff.
Delicious dinner salad, generous portion. Pizza was awesome!
The food was good, but it took a while to be waited on(over 10 minutes, after I told someone about it). We were seated immediately upon arrival, but no one waited on us although we saw a server wait on other tables in same room. I had to bring it to their attention before we were waited on. Other than that everything was good.
The food was overpriced and not good quality for the cost. Will not return.
We enjoyed our meal and our 9 yr old granddaughter ate well. She is very pickie but she ate her food.
The weather was very hot, but the room was warm.
We went to Wasabi again because the sushi and tempura are really great. The service was not good at all. The waitress forgot to serve us the salads and soups..... Should not happen. We are not happy with the service there, since at one time, we were 9 people and gave them 20% tip and the tip was on the bill already. Nobody said a word and did not change it either.....Call that honesty!
yum yumm
The staff is not too friendly
Very good and helpful server!
Loved the Shrimp Tempora
Loved the Shrimp Tempora
we had lots of fun.. food was good entertainment was good too
The sushi is always fresh and the tempura light and great also. We love the food there. The only problem is, that they ask to take the platters away before you are really done. I still put my shrimp tempura in the sauce and they wanted to take the platter away!! This is not relaxed eating at all!! Otherwise the service is quite good.
Always a great time!!
We were there for a birthday party with 15 people. Tony, our chef, was great and the food was very good!
The cocktails were excellent and very reasonable. Would like to go in a group for the Hibachi.
The food was well prepared and tastey.the waitestaff was very attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant.
wasabi is always a fun dining experience....food was very good!
Excellent flavor in the hibachi cooking and very entertaining chefs!
Excellent food and good service. We go there all the time.
First Visit and definitely not our last!
Jeff was one of the best - he was so funny and it made the experience that much better!
food was OK, service was not great, very slow, not attentive
We love this place it is close to our home the sushi is great the staff there are very pleasent we have going there ever since they opened in salem n.h mr mrs waites
The restaurant was clean, well lit, and the staff was very accomodating.
It was a fun time!
The "show" was great! We had a reservation but still walked in and got seated quickly (and there were others in the lobby waiting). The staff was attentive and thorough.
the udon soup is difference then what I used to.(too sweet) The soft shell crab is too expensive. It cost $7.50 for one tiny small crab. Other restaurant give two crab for less price.
We love the friendliness of the cooks and how they bring the culture of the fun to the whole table. I felt like I met new friends from other cultures today whom I never would have found sitting at a table for two.
I have eaten at Wasbi many time during the past five years. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxing. The food, drinks and service have always been great!
Wasabi serves authentic Japanese food and it is great!! The servers are all wonderful, and the food comes out quick and hot.
The food was terrific as was the service.
It was pretty cold in there with a very cold draft coming at us. We sat at the first hibachi table in the right.
The food was cold, except for the rice, which was luke-warm. The restaurant was very noisy.
The food is always delicious and the chef was entertaining.
Entree excellent
Good steak, nice shrimp, excellent chicken, all flavored wonderfully. The rice and noodles and stir fry veggies are great too! We love this place.
The sushi was delicious and the meals were cooked just as we requested.
Fantastic service! Very entertaining man at the hibachi!
We love the sushi at Wasabi. So tasty!
It was cold in the restaurant at times
Always good, nice environment and seating.
Never had to pay extra for noodles or rice at a Hibachi restaurant. Surprised they didn't offer iced tea as a beverate. Disappointed they added the tip to the bill despite being only a party of 3. Had to talk to them about inappropriate music playing in the restaurant for having a child with us.
Sushi is fresh and creative. Best sushi I've had
Great food. excellent presentation!
The service was horible. The waitress kept forgetting every time we asked her for something. The food was way too salty! Very loud atmosphere
the only reason i didn't mark excellent is because my sister asked for noodles with her meal and they gave her rice instead. the food and service were great.wait staff were all friendly and the service was timely.would go back and recommend.
It was great. Food was awesome and staff very friendly.
Wasabi is always great... Our kids love it , food is great drinks are great( Tommy Bahamas Mai Tai!!) service and chefs are fantastic! One of our favorite restaurants
The sushi is great!
Grossly overpriced compared to the exact same dining experience at any of several local competitors. Food was overall less than par. The grill good is poorly ventilated and when turned off cold air rushed in through it.Just simply not worth it.
The sushi and tempura were very good as always. Just be careful and check the bill. It is wrong many times. Also, the server was nice, they kind of rush you through the meal.
Tempura was excellent as were the coconut shrimp (8) with a nice sauce. We ordered the Dragon ? with tempura shrimp and some salmon rolls. Presentation lovely. We never knew this place was here. We will return!
Overly noisy, seaweed wrap in sushi was chewy.
We had the best chef named Tony. It was my son's 32nd birthday, and Tony mad sure to entertain him (and us).
Great restaurant but the fire alarm went off for about 20 minutes. No fault of theirs, but it seemed that they put everything and everyone on "hold" until the alarm went off. The least they could have done offered drinks on the house!
We did the dinner for two. The chef was amazing! The food was excellent!
Chef was great! Food was excellent and he was very entertaining.
The service was great and the food was excellent.
The sushi is very fresh and the tempura is also very good. The only problem is, that you have to be careful with the tip because it is added on to the bill by the restaurant. At one time, eating there with 8 other family members and without a certificate, the tip was on the bill but my husband didn't see it and he added another 20%2525. Nobody told us about that.... Needless to say, they got a %2522great%2522 tip of 38%2525!
Overall good experience but I always feel like my sushi isn't rolled very well/tight. I notice alot of the pieces from my rolls fall apart, compared to sushi I've had at other restaurants.
the sushi was awesome :)
Everything was great.
Great food & service
Good wait staff.
The sushi is awesome at Wasabi. The sushi chefs rock! Experience is always pleasurable.
We had a a very nice time.
The sushi at Wasabi is one of the best in the area, both quality and size.
Higher dollar value per coupons available for this restaurant!
The food was excellent. They charged us for 2 items that we didn't even order totaling 25 dollars. Glad I double checked the bill.
