Wasabi's is an excellent sushi restaurant and is located right in the center of downtown Roanoke. The staff was very attentive, polite, and gracious. They promptly told us our table had a time limit and when we needed to vacate, which was reasonably and no problem meeting. They gave us a lovely booth and served us right away. The staff approached us right after putting down our menus, so we never had to wait very long. They brought us ice water right away and refilled our glasses two times during the meal, so I could never find the bottom of my glass. This is a somewhat small restaurant, so don't expect a ton of space around your table and you may struggle to get a table at peak meal times. I enjoyed the simple framed pictures of sumo wrestlers and other classic Japanese themes. I thoroughly enjoyed the salad and soup that came with our meal - their garden salad is above average and the miso soup was about what I'd expect. The agedashi tofu appetizer was not somewhat bland, but tasted fresh and what you should expect from tofu. The fish itself was VERY flavorful and came in BIG portions. I had never seen pieces of sashimi or nigiri so large. The sushi at Wasabi's was as good as the fish I ate in Tokyo and New York. Each piece was tasty, delicious, washed down with wasabi and ginger, and I found each one a delightful mouthful that left me wanting more. I would strong recommend ordering one of the 'party boats' because it has better value in terms of fish per dollar, at the risk of having less control of what food you receive and having to share with others in your party. I was very impressed at Wasabi's and will be coming back.

The service and atmosphere were top notch.I ate vegetarian so I can’t rate most of the menu. My wife enjoyed her sushi. My spring roll was excellent. The tempura was nicely coated but the vegetables were soggy. we would go back

Our first time having lunch at Wasabi's and were very impressed. We love sushi and are always looking for good restaurants so we'll be coming back again. The quality of the fish was extremely high. The salmon and tuna melted in our mouths and the portions were generous. All the staff were professional, friendly and satisfyingly answered all questions. See you again soon.

We ordered the Dang Bang Shrimp to start, the shrimp were large in size, came out hot, and were absolutely delicious. We order 4 sushi rolls (the Sumo, the Volcano, spicy California, and the broccoli roll) as shown in the pictures. I would never go back and not order the Sumo Roll and the Broccoli roll, they are out of this world! Our server gave great recommendations, knew the whole menu, and was extremely nice! We will definitely be returning soon and can’t recommend Wasabi’s enough!

Was very pleasantly surprised by the A+ service and food. I would highly recommend them if you are in the area.

Best sushi place in roanoke. Make sure you get the sumo roll atleast once. Our sushi preferences have changed now the unagi is on our list. The wasabi special is the best. The nigeri is so large it's the size of two. Itsssss sooooo gooooood!
A full half hour before they close and they don't even let us come in the door, oh no, could not even bother to ask, or they would have known all I wanted was an ice cream. Rudest restaurant downtown. If that's your policy, then post it.

None of the tempuras had any flavor besides oil. The spider sushi and sweet potato sushi felt like eating a blob of rice and had less flavor and it was very dry.

Massive selection of amazing sushi with large portions. Amazing unagiri (eel sushi) and the ultimate yakiudon is worth the extra $2. Very filling and right on the downtown!
Parking: On the down town, so down town type parking
Wheelchair accessibility: All on one floor, all tables and chairs can be moved
