"Indulged in a delightful dining experience at Bistro Wasabi – impeccable service, mouthwatering sushi, and an overall exceptional culinary journey! Highly recommend for a memorable dining outing."
We love Bistro Wasabi in Lake in the Hills, and we wanted to come check out this location tonight. We had Victoria as our server and she was wonderful. The food is always fantastic but we were really happy with the service, despite it being a busy Saturday night. Thank you Victoria!

I was really disappointed with the customer service and lack of concern on Saturday, March 2. We live in the neighborhood and Bistro Wasabi has been a favorite place. My husband went in to the restaurant the Wednesday before and made an in person reservation for Saturday evening. When we arrived, we were told the reservation had been made for the 9th instead of the 2nd and the only seating available was at the sushi bar. We were not pleased as we were with friends who specifically requested the restaurant. There were many open tables where we could have been seated, but we were not allowed to sit there. In fact, 2 of them remained open the 1.5 hours we were there. I had to ask for some compensation to be given, and it was very little. This experience makes it unlikely that I will want to return and bring others with me to the restaurant. Very disappointed in the lack of customer consideration. Diners beware!

The food was absolutely delicious, the service was great as well. As a first timer, I highly recommend Bistro Wasabi to anyone looking for pristine service, ambiance, and quality. It's wild because I've driven by BW for years and finally decided to take a chance on something fresh and I'm glad I did.

They take so long to bring the food out, the miso soup and green tea never arrived in the table. Even with the reservation they sat us by the door with loud music playing. The eel and dragon roll didn’t taste fresh and was too sweet. The tempura was good. Overall didn’t like

I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It has good food, and it is great place to go with family/friends.
I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I just went there a week ago and they have great food, service, and ambiance. This is a great restaurant to go to with family/friends. I would definitely recommend this, you have been missing out on a hidden gem if you have never eaten here before!

The menu is absolutely horrendous. Descriptions would be nice instead of just saying, Jeffery’s Special Salad. What the heck is that? A better menu would help the waitress that had to keep answering what everything was…but the food was yummy

It's been a long time since I updated my review for Bistro Wasabi. Since I've been there twice this past week, this is a good time for the update.Last week, I took my son, who was celebrating something. We went overboard, trying various Maki rolls and Nigiri. If I remember correctly, we had Tomago, Squid, and we reordered a few later. For the Maki Rolls, we stayed traditional with Salmon and Avocado, Ebi Q, Una Q, Negi Hamachi, Salmon Skin, and Tekka. I also had a Sake-Martini (a must-try if you are a martini purist.Last night, there were three of us. We started with Seaweed Salad and spicy Edamame. We also had Flying Fish Roe Nigiri and Salmon Nigiri. For Maki Rolls, we had Boston (Salmon and Avocado), Negi Hamachi (Yellowtail and scallions), Tekka (Tuna), and one maki roll from their specials which I think was called "Baha," and contained a variety of fish. (I also had .another Sake-Martini - man, those are good.) My wife, whos doesn't eat seafood, had the Chicken Terriaki.While I have pictures from the first visit, I had technical problems with my phone on the second. I took lots of pictures, but they disappeared this morning. The only surviving picture is of the Miso SoupBoth times the service was outstanding. Since we were there at 8 PM last night (a Friday), it was very loud but not so much that we couldn't talk. The service is always outstanding. My cousin, who was with us and visiting from Seattle, said this was the best sushi she ever had. I would put it up there as the top few I've been to, also.It can be pricy, but you pay for the quality and the service.

First time here. The food was delicious. I like to ask the waiters where ever I go, what they recommend? Getting their opinion is important to me since I like to try different things. Victoria our waitress was very sweet and had delicious recommendations. The ambiance felt like I was in the city. It was dark and good lighting. Didn't feel at all like you were in the middle of Hoffman estates. Would definitely come back to try more.

Such a quaint sushi joint! The tempura tuna wrap app was AMAZING!! Godzilla is huge but flavors are phenomenal.
