Wasabi was super busy around 8, but we managed to squeeze in spots at the bar. Our waiter was super helpful with figuring out the menu, since there was a paper sheet and a binder. We ordered many things and got most of our food in less than ten minutes, which was great since we were both very hungry. Our rolls that we had ordered got overlooked, but once we asked, he brought them to us. Overall, definitely one of the better places for Japanese cuisine, especially downtown. If...

Visited while on holiday from Charlotte. Very friendly venue, cozy with a homey feeling. Food was very good and portions were great for the prices. I didn't get any of the sushi, but from what I saw, the sushi artists did a great job. Would definitely love to visit again sometime

Great Sushi, particularly the Blue Ridge Roll and Play Boy Roll. Edamame is plentyfull and perfectly prepared as well.

Parking: Street spots are always turning over. Lots are a better option.
