Wasabi Japanese Steak House

I’m downgrading from 5 stars to two. I’m not holding any stars hostage but you guys need to take a serious look at the filth of your establishment. You have tons of established customers who are dying to see a clean Wasabi. If nothing else, hire a commercial cleaner and have them restore it to it’s previous glory. We want you back.

The last couple of visits to Wasabi were very disappointing. The restaurant was dirty (although not busy at all) and the service was seriously lacking. The restrooms were filthy. I don’t know if they’ve changed owners, or what. Unfortunately, Wasabi has gone from being one of our favorite restaurants to somewhere we probably won’t visit again.

Very Good food but for a party of 3 at night our ticket was $ 57 plus tip. I am sure lunch and sitting in a booth instead of food being cooked in front of you would be a lot cheaper. No complaints other than price.

I’ve been to Wasabi several times and most of those times have been decent. However, the last time I went there made me question if I would ever go back.
I brought my mom and my friend who was visiting from out of state. We were seated on the hibachi side, at a table with a couple. The couple already had their soup and salad and were impatiently waiting for the rest of their meal, therefore we were rushed to place our orders.
The server was not very familiar with the menu. We asked a couple of questions about sushi and wine. He couldn’t even tell us which wines they had.
The cook was not friendly and did not speak to any of us while he quickly cooked the food! I was shocked. The whole reason we sat on the hibachi side instead of the dining area was for the show. We had our hibachi on our plates before we even received our sushi appetizers that we ordered.
We were never offered refills on our drinks. We had to keep trying to flag down the server anytime we needed anything. We were given our checks without being asked if we wanted anything else (dessert, more wine, etc.). We really felt like the whole experience was rushed, despite the fact that it was hours before closing time.
We literally couldn’t find ANY employee at all after we had paid. We wanted to ask for to-​go boxes, but ended up leaving our leftovers after waiting and waiting and not seeing anyone. It was a ghost town.
This experience definitely left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m not sure I will ever return.

The place has a terrible moldy smell. There was almost no one there on a Saturday night but we decided to give them a chance. The service is phenomenal, but the place is disgusting. There was old food in the soy sauce holder in front of us. The volcano roll-​bad. The Las Vegas and yum yum roll-​delicious. They have excellent miso and salad. Hibachi took entirely too long to get started and the rice was undercooked. We paid extra to split a hibachi meal, even though the chef put all of the meat and vegetables on my boyfriends plate. They rushed through everything to get us out of there even though it was a half hour before they closed. They have late hours, and the food is decent, but I would recommend trying somewhere else.

Was there for dinner from out of town. Nice place except floor was very dirty w/​food debris! Food was not as cooked through as as I would have liked although the chef was fun. I asked for sesame seeds for my fried rice, but they had none. Asked for hot sauce and they had run out. Good sized portions here and tasted good, but the floors are going to be slipped on by patrons and the ladies bathroom was not very clean either.

Seriously folks, there are way too many places serving much better quality at about the same price as Wasabi. We may have caught it on a bad day, but the place looked filthy and there were fly’s all over the place. The portions are reasonable but still get a mop and clean this nasty restaurant. I really would pass on this place in the future and go to Samurai’s on Thompson Lane instead.

Amazing food, and good cooks. I always bring the food home and it gets eaten within a couple days; the food is amazing! The chef was respectful and started small talking with us. He told us he was a recently hired cook, and we told him we were new to this whole Japanese food thing so that worked out for us.
I couldn’t tell his food was new. It tasted just like how I remembered it; AMAZING

Went for lunch with my sister and it was delicious! $ 5.99 lunch special for Hibachi Chicken and $ 9.95 lunch special for Hibachi Chicken and Shrimp. You can’t beat the price for the amount of food you get! I’d definitely recommend Wasabi to hibachi lovers :))

have had a great meal at Wasabi every time, which is twice a year for last 7 years.
good food, good service, good show and sometimes we’ll get the «ketchup» bottle trick.
Kids love the onion volcano.
lots of food for the money, too.

Best hibachi in town at a reasonable price good customer service all in all no complaints… Have been going here for a few years and I keep coming great food great price for hibachi

Way overpriced for the quality… steak chewy, sushi fishy, soup not impressive, server sweet but not a trained well as a waitress.

Love this place! Great food, friendly staff, and we always ask for «Tu» to cook for us! They have coupons in the Clipper that makes it easier on the wallet. Hibachi and sushi are equally great!

I’ve only had wasabi to go but it’s great every time! I usually get the Las Vegas roll and an eel roll. Always made right when you order and tastes super fresh. The squid sashimi is killer as well. Price for most rolls aren’t too bad either! P. S always tip the sushi chef, he does good work.

Wasabi has always been a favorite of mine, until today!
To start with it smelled like a dirty latrine. The service was fine, but the sticky tables, floors, and the filthy carpet it took the enjoyment away from the food that ended up being mediocre. My daughter needed to go to the restroom twice. My wife and I each took a turn with this task and can say that the restrooms were equally disgusting. Sticky floors, no paper towels and obviously haven’t been cleaned properly in a very long time. You could also see directly into the kitchen from our table. Each time the servers came and went you could see them sliding all over the floor because it was so greasy. The hood above us at the hibachi table was full of cobwebs and residue they had not been cleaned in ages. I’m aware that restaurants get dirty, and equally aware that businesses who enjoy repeat customers value cleanliness. We will not be returning because I value my family’s health.
Its very disappointing but obvious that management has stopped caring about their business.

We go here often. As others have said it’s a value based hibachi. There is nothing overly fancy but in my experience the food has been great. Service has been good and the prices are great!
If you are looking to try it, go at lunch for the best deal.

Ok for the money. Not a fancy place by any means. Customer service is ok. Rolls are a pretty decent size.

Wasabi is barely ok. I can’t complain too much since the prices are really low. The food is ok but the place itself is not very well taken care of. The cushions on the chairs are ripped and two of my plates were badly chipped. The miso soup is not very good. We also tried the hibachi one time and were rather disappointed. Again, not bad for the money but if you don’t mind spending a little more for a better experience and higher quality food go somewhere else.

It’s the best Japanese steakhouse in Murfreesboro that you can go too. don’t think about going anywhere else go here it’s well worth it well worth the price

It was ok. Nothing great. Typical rolls.
