The a la carte was super overpriced for what we received. The food was decent enough, and the staff was friendly, but it just wasn't worth the price. Maybe the teppan experience is better, but we probably won't come back.

I had an absolutely horrible customer service experience with this restaurant! For a client lunch I ordered a large order the day before for pickup. When I arrived at the time stated on my receipt, they claimed they didn't have the order because they never checked their online orders for that day. Then the host told me that it would take over two hours for the order. He was rude and told me I shouldn't order through DoorDash. I in fact ordered directly from the restaurants website. They shouldn't partner with DoorDash if they aren't going to fulfill their agreement. They put me in a stressful bind but they also lost out on a $500+ order! I do not recommend this restaurant!!!

Food is exceptional with very high-grade quality fish. Sushi chefs always have a specialty offering of the day. Service staff is always friendly, even when they are very busy during lunchtime. Looking forward to dining on the other side of the sushi bar where they offer teppan tables for groups.

Haley was the sweetest and cutest bartender, while David was amazing on the grill tantalizing us with his teppan skills. Great food and awesome staff!

Fantastic convenient location and consistent product, with high quality sashimi and rolls, although recommend avoiding the ones with California roll base, little boring and basic . Enjoy coming here quarterly!

This was the best sushi I’ve had outside of Japan! The service is fantastic, and you can tell that chef’s know their stuff. Would recommend to anybody looking for sushi in the area

Best sushi I've had in the states! I had the omakase and absolutely loved it, especially for the price. Couldn't recommend enough

I have been coming to this restaurant for over a decade. The lunchtime staff is terrific, but never in my life I have I ever been treated more rude by a wait staff than the nighttime shift. They clearly didn’t want us there and were blasting music from the kitchen and made it very clear they wanted us to get out. No one approached us to seat us and gave us attitude when we asked if there was someone who could help. Do not come here for dinner. Such a shame for what I considered to be a Newport establishment.

I came for dinner on a Monday night with my friend. We did an omakase and sat at the bar. The sushi chefs were so attentive and customized the omakase as I said I do not like salmon. All the cuts of fish were so fresh and absolutely delicious!! My friend and I ordered some hand rolls to finish the meal. I had a spicy tuna hand roll and it was so fresh and flavorful. The wait staff were very attentive and removed plates from our table and filled our water periodically. All in all, it was a great experience at Wasa! I would definitely come back again!
