This is a local favorite--The food is always great and fresh. A few of our favorites are the crispy orange chicken, honey rainbow roll, and chicken pad Thai.
Our new favorite sushi spot!! Atmosphere, service, and sushi were all fantastic. The first round was so good we ended up ordering more. Our waitress Linda recommended a roll that we loved! We will be back!
I ordered a few different options, starting with a seaweed salad. I thought the food was great and was very filling. The seaweed salad had a great taste. The king crab crunch was great! The individual pieces of sushi were big and I thought the different components meshed together really well.

The food was good, a bit above average. Hated the service, I think it was closing time and I was ignored, asked twice for spicy mayo never got it. I’ll be generous with a four star but honestly 3.5 star is where it’s at.
Restaurant is pretty, indoor outdoor seating, good vibes.
Loved the Thunder Roll and the Philadelphia Roll (both shown in photo).
Large outdoor and indoor seating areas available.
Setting is in a clean, fairly new space.
Sushi menu available as well as hot dishes.
I've been to many of the Wasabi locations and they're all generally pretty similar with small differences. The food is always very tasty and full of flavour and the service generally okay. I rarely if ever feel smothered which I always consider a plus and I really enjoy the selection of sushi and entrée dishes offered. It's no surprise that it's a popular spot among the locals.
I have had a few issues with my meals being a bit slow or incorrect in the past but generally it's not a common issue and the staff do their best to make things right when there is a problem.
Always, always best sushi and sashimi!!!
