Wasabi

This place was outstanding! Everything tasted fresh and the service was outstanding. Will absolutely go again when I’m in the area again.

I love the 3 roll special. I ate here for lunch and the service was fast, pretty good sushi, and decent price.

My wife and I first the first time were let down by the Unilocal reviews. We ordered four different specialty house rolls, and we were very disappointed. One they had so much of their sauce on them that you couldn’t taste the important stuff. I have had grocery store old sushi that tasted better. We were starving when we went in and after shoveling in we realized how bad it was. The hot sake almost tasted watered down. One of the rolls had burnt shrimp tails in the center, I picked one out curious of what it was and was completely grossed out. The staff was friendly and food was served quickly. We were in town for a work trip. Should of tried the other place across the street.

If it was coat/​tie/​valet, I’d give it 5 stars. Regardless, I’m pretty impressed.
Sushi was fresh and tasty. Steak Teppanyaki with Vegetables was perfectly prepared.
Service — prompt and friendly, and it has great décor and atmosphere.
Everything about Wasabi was good.
My server even asked if I was struggling with the chopsticks. I told her «No, I just enjoy dropping my food on the table and trying to pick it back up». I’m glad she knew I was joking and am actually severely chopstick-​challenged.
All told, it’s a really cool place.

Sushi Rolls were excellent. Sushi Chefs were accurate and fast. Very fresh ingredients. Not many people in the Restaurant, but everyone was friendly and courteous. Restaurant was clean. Wine and beer selection was excellent. Happy hour 5 – 6 m-​f.

I went here for dinner and was pretty surprised at how nice the place was. It’s beautiful on the inside and the wait staff was great, I had no issues. The menu is so vast that I actually ended up picking the whatever roll, where the chef makes whatever he wants for you. I was not disappointed.

Good sushi. Seemed fresh and everyone was friendly and gave great service. We sat at the sushi bar and all the rolls coming out were huge. You definitely get your money’s worth here.

Dinner was Delish!!! You must try the Omakase Deluxe boat. #8Sushi #8sashimi #threeamigoroll #crazysalmonroll #miso #SeaweedSalad Happy Sushi Saturday!

First time in Texas, from California. I found myself craving some good sushi rolls. Saw the pictures and menu choices on Unilocal and headed out. The service was exceptional and I believe it was a spicy tuna roll I grabbed. The tuna tasted fresh and was delightful to eat. Dessert was a amazing. The tempura pound cake green tea ice cream (normally it is vanilla there) served with chocolate syrup and whip made my night. I will surely be back next time I’m in San Antonio.

Me and my boyfriend love this place. One of the few sushi places in San Antonio that is consistent and good. Not the best we’ve ever had but staff is always friendly and service is always great. The manager is also great about walking around and making sure you’re happy. If you haven’t been — I recommend! We love the Spurs or Las Vegas roll. Their salmon and tuna are fresh!

I’ve been in a few times since my last review, so I figured it was time to update. Service here is always great! The food can be slow coming out; however, if you want good Asian food made with fresh ingredients, it’s going to have to be made fresh for you and that means a slightly longer wait for your meal. I’ve never had anything that didn’t come out delicious at Wasabi.
Since our visits are always for lunch, the Bento Box special is my go-​to order. One meat is plenty, and both chicken teriyaki or the bulgogi are good options. You’ll get complimentary miso soup, vegetable tempura, a small side of sushi, salad, steamed rice, and your choice of meat. It’s more food than one person can eat for $ 8-​$ 9.
My Unilocal rating system:
5 stars= Driving across town just for this!
4 stars= I would recommend visiting.
3 stars= Average, acceptable, positive.
2 stars= You might be able to drag me in.
1 star= I will definitely not be returning.

You gotta know that a place isn’t good when you walk in and realize you are the only customer in the whole place.
We should have turned around and walked away. Instead we sat and decided to give a try.
It was a waste of money and time.
The fried calamari for $ 6 had only two sticks of sad breaded calamari sticks. The rest was some sad breaded vegetables!
The two rolls we ordered tasted weird and fell apart.
Should have saved our money and got a few rolls of sushi from HEB instead.
Never again!

Pretty good sushi place, the only reason it’s not 4 stars is because I’ve been to some awsome sushi place around the country.
But no complaints here, and the service is good.

Decent sushi good prices. Only thing I thought was the rice was very mushi/​moist. Very filling the Philadelphia roll had in my opinion too much cream cream the crazy roll was on point.

My daughters favorite sushi stop in San Antonio. Today’s visit was excellent as always, we had three rolls, the Las Vegas, the Rock n Roll, and a California roll.
All three rolls were great and we had a wonderful time with some father daughter time…

Lunch special is ok but not the best. I don’t think I’d come back unless Sushi Zushi was set a blaze.
Wasabi taste a little bland and the sushi has a different consistency. It’s still good but I’ve had better.
I’d rather go spend my money at Sushi Zushi down the street. It tastes fresher.

I’ve tried different sushi places in town but this one is my favorite. The service from the moment you walk in the door is great! You’re greeted with a few hellos and smiles and as we sat at the bar we were recommended different seats that weren’t in a high traffic area (very considerate). We sat at the bar and got to watch them make all the sushi rolls and sashimi. It was my first time eating sashimi, so I can’t really rank flavor well, but it was good. I even tried octopus for the first time and it wasn’t as bad as I thought! Sure, I made a face as if I just ate a rancid lemon but it was more because I kept thinking, «I’m eating octopus!» The bellagio roll was amazing! It had a mix of spice, sweet, and tang, mmm! I will definitely be eating here again!

Wasabi fits perfect as a 3-​star restaurant.
I save 4 – 5 stars for Valet-​Coat restaurants!
Timely seating!
Great management and wait staff!
And food was amazing & large portions!
Plenty of seating, and a TV at the sushi bar!

Wasabi is one of those restaurants that I’ll consider eating at a lot but I don’t and opt for something closer.
Food: Bulgogi bibimbap, sashimi, and sushi– all are delicious!
Service: Always very friendly and attentive.
Environment: Clean. Well-​lit. Good for large groups, couples, or singles. You can sit at the sushi bar and talk to the chef. I think most of the staff are actually Korean, if I remember correctly.
Overall, I would recommend trying. It’s a nice place to go out to with a group of friends. I don’t usually go for a particular item because my favorites for sushi and for Korean are at different restaurants. But if you want to give people options, this is a great place for Japanese and a little bit of Korean!

I was hesitant to try Wasabi for a while, but my friends recommended it, so I thought it couldn’t be too bad. I haven’t got anything from here that I haven’t liked yet. They have a good happy hour here from 4 – 7 and on certain weekdays it’s until 10pm (I think Tuesday).
The warm food I’ve tried here is pretty good though. I’ve tried:
monkey balls– fried and slathered in spicy mayo. pretty good, but not my favorite thing here.
Nabeyaki udon– Best Japanese udon I’ve had in San Antonio and way better than the phở in SA. The broth is very flavorful and isn’t too salty. The soup comes with plenty of veggies, chicken, and some tempura shrimp. The portion is large and enough for two meals.
bugolgi bibimbap– Best bibimbap I’ve had in San Antonio. Although, the meat isn’t the most tender, it’s very flavorful compared to other bugolgi I’ve had in SA. The portion of meat is just right for me and not too skimpy. The hot sauce it comes with is also very flavorful and I like to put quite a bit on. I don’t think the bibimbap is the most authentic. The rice isn’t crispy and it comes on the side, but that’s not a high priority for me. They also mix in some seaweed salad which I don’t think is standard, but I love seaweed salad.
calamari– I thought it would be all calamari, but it’s not. This dish is a mixture of calamari and veggie tempura. The calamari comes in thick big pieces. I still like this dish though: tasty fried goodness.
Bang Bang roll– enjoyed it. pretty simple with tuna on top and eel sauce and some other stuff inside. Tuna tasted pretty fresh for San Antonio standards. (top 3 in town probably)
Yakisoba beef noodles– ³⁄₅. pretty standard. Good, but not amazing. A good variety of veggies and a lot of noodles. Beef could be more flavorful though.
Service is usually pretty decent here and the food comes out in a reasonable time. Prices are also very reasonable here.
So far, Wasabi is my favorite place in San Antonio to get warm Korean/​Japanese entrees. I’ll definitely be back and would like to try more things on the menu.
