Wife and I went to lunch here and had the bento boxes, salmon for her and teriyaki chicken for me. They were great! Would highly recommend Wasabi JC!

Food was terrible, they are riding the expensive wave and charging $18 for a roll that had no flavor. The rice was soggy and I will not be back. It’s sad that they just don’t get it, make decent food… How hard is it

Had a great experience. Small place but didn’t wait at all. Sushi was very good quality, tons of flavor. They have great roles for inexpensive prices. The yellowtail Kama was delicious!!! I will definitely be coming back!!

OMG!!! I went here yesterday, because I got a Groupon discount. I ordered two rolls, a hand roll, and ikura. I got miso soup and a salad because it was lunch time. The lunch special from 11:00 to 3:00 is two rolls, the soup and salad for $17.95. I put some of the rolls aside to take home, and I had enough room left in my stomach for some soft shell crab appetizer! The presentation was amazing! My food was served in a wonderfully unique wooden boat! I will definitely return to this restaurant!

Modern, clean, smaller restaurant in a strip mall serving various Japanese dishes. They have a lunch special for about $18 that includes soup, salad and 2 sushi roll choices. Food was fresh and service was very nice. They often have Group deals.

Sushi is absolutely fantastic here, and one of the best parts—it's within walking distance from my place!

From the moment I walked in, I was seated right away. Maddie, our server, was warm, friendly, and on top of everything. She got our order going quickly and stayed attentive the entire time, making sure drinks were filled and plates were cleared promptly.

I ordered four rolls in total—though the Lemon Roll and Mexican Roll are the ones I remember by name, all of them were beautifully presented (check out the pics!). The flavor was spot on, as always. You can tell the chefs know exactly what they’re doing—the quality and consistency are impressive.

This is my sixth visit, and they’ve yet to let me down. I figured it was finally time to leave the glowing review they deserve. I’ll definitely be back again soon!

I have lived in Japan for 3 years when my Father was stationed in Yokohama many years ago. When I joined the Navy I made certain to revisit Japan. So when I went to the Wasabi Restaurant it was like bringing all of the memories back. They have a lot of very good choices and each is prepared perfectly! This is traditional Japanese food done well. Highly recommend that you give the Wasabi Restaurant a try with a Bento Box or the Yakatori or Sushi or Dynamite Roll.

Vegetarian options: Ask the server if something can be prepared for your own taste.

Parking: Wasabi Restaurant has a very good variety of food on the menu. And you can request some small changes if you have a preference.
