"we take grandkids to wasabi in Mt P a couple times a year. They go to the nine in DI a lot so they know the menu. Last time we were there we had a great meal and experience. This time it was a total different story. My husband ordered hot black tea and the waitress returned and told us they were all out of black tea. Apparently, ownership has changed and they are working through supply issues. So she encouraged green tea and when it came, it was disgusting. Unlike any green tea I’ve ever seen. m I ordered an Asian pear salad with grilled shrimp. The kids had bento boxes and my husband had pad Thai. when we got our meals, mine was missing. The waitress said they accidentally gave my meal to somebody else but that they would fix me another one. So by the time everybody else was done with their meal my dinner arrived. I told her to put it in a to go bag and i would take it home. Of course they took it off the menu. In terms of the quality of the food, my husband‘s pad Thai was dry and not very tasty. the California rolls were very heavy rice and very little avocado. The only meal that was really good was my grandson’s teriyaki chicken. We did have an excellent shrimp appetizer. The waitress did her best but it’s hard to cover up kitchen mistakes although she tried as did the GM. So tonight I decided to eat my Asian pear salad and when I opened it up, I realized there were no pears and it was not an Asian pear salad. It was a salad with onions. Really disappointing. We will not go back anytime soon."

"We also ordered grilled edamame for $9.50, a red dragon roll for $12.50, and a combination roll for nearly $30. Overall, I felt that the meal was on the pricey side and didn’t quite offer the value I expected, but the experience was worthwhile because it’s a nice restaurant, perfect for a lunch or dinner outing. As for the food, I’d rate it a 5/5. There’s really nothing to complain about besides the cost. I can’t say how it compares to a high-end or truly authentic Japanese dining experience, but the quality of the food seemed quite good. Regarding customer service, I’d also give it a 5/5. We arrived around noon on a Saturday, and while there were still some open tables, they filled up quickly, so we faced no wait. We were seated immediately, and our server was incredibly attentive, checking on us several times without us needing to summon him—excellent service, indeed. As for my overall thoughts on the experience, I’m not sure I’d return if I were only considering the price. However, if budget were not a constraint, I would definitely recommend this place. The restaurant features a bar, and inside it has a spacious layout with an open kitchen that gives off a pleasant vibe. There are several TVs in the bar and sushi areas, so it might serve as a good sports bar too, though I can't confirm that since I’ve only visited once for a family lunch. The experience was enjoyable; it wasn’t just a quick meal, but rather a place where you can relax, converse, enjoy good food, and have a great time. My family liked the food, so if you’re in search of a nice dining spot, I’d recommend it. However, if you’re looking for a quick bite, you might want to consider other options."

"So this could have been a 5 Star Yelp review. But downgrading due to the lack of service on a Friday night. I blame management, and in this case, it could just be a family owned and run business. We only had to wait 10minutes to get a table so that was good. However, the hostess taking our order was so flustered as she was the only one that was taking orders with a packed house! There were two other boys that were either cleaning the tables and seating people but not sure if they were trained to take orders. We had two friends join us spur of the moment that evening so we had a great time. No rush by the restaurant to move on. We stayed there for over 1.5hours. Not really because we wanted to, but it seemed it took a very long time to make the sushi rolls. And we had to keep tracking down our hostess to get some of the items that we ordered. So now for the good stuff. The taste of almost every roll was phenomenal. The only one I didn't like was the Slow Burn Roll, which had an interesting texture to it and no burn to it. But the other rolls and the Sashimi platter were excellent. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was to die for! One of the few places that I have been to that actually serve this. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with any of the rolls on the menu. Total bill for 4 people ended up around $170 including 2 beers and hot tea. We were not even asked if we wanted dessert nor did we want to stay any longer. But it was great to watch the Warriors game that was on while we ate. A very cozy restaurant and the locals know this has great food. I hope the owners take note of this and at least get someone else who can wait tables."
