I had been wanting to experience Wasabi for about 3 years & was finally able to guilt-trip a night for Mother's Day. 🤭 (Note, if it weren't for taking a back road from the motel I was staying at due to storm damage to my home, I would never known where Wasabi was located.)
Being it was a Sunday night (8:30pm), the dim (probably going for intimate ambiance) lighting first had me question if they were open. Once inside, the staff were pleasant & attentive. We were seated right away. Our server [Brandon?] was prompt, polite, & willing to answer questions.
I ordered the Baked Salmon Roll, for the appetizer, and Kung Pao scallops for the entrée. The Baked Salmon Rolls were better than I anticipated. An asparagus spear runs through it, but it's flavor is not dominant.
The Kung Pao scallops were not what I expected. [Japanese hibachi has influenced my expectations.] I can-not- say they weren't good, they were just not what I was expecting. They taste as if they're coated in a breading. They don't 'look' coated, but they tasted coated, & I'm used to scallops only being seasoned & seared.
I will definitely go back! 😊 I'm going to try a different entrée, but the appetizer will be a staple for me.
I had Kabukiroll, superman buritto, and pad thai. The food was great, everything was fresh and tasty. There were a lot of creative dishes and gourmet food. I think Wasabi is one of the greatest restaurants where you can have a good time with your companies.
Sushi and cocktails... what's not to love? I don't routinely throw out a 5-star, but aside from the great fresh food and unique drink selections... this visit we were lucky to have Gabby as our server. "KUDOS" to her! Gabby's easy-going personality, patience, and very helpful, positive manner helped make it a great experience for us. Because of her, we're happy to give that fifth star!
