Terrible Service, Felt Targeted
My experience at this restaurant was incredibly poor due to the service. We were made 10 minutes late for our reservation. When we tried to explain over the phone that our train was delayed and there was nothing we could do, the customer service was unhelpful.
Upon arrival, the server was rude and turned her back while I was speaking, refusing to listen. I felt quite targeted as a Latino, as her demeanor changed immediately when she was not speaking to someone of Asian descent. I would not recommend going due to the poor service.

Delish Drinks, Meh Food, Fun Signage
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was just okay, described as 'meh'. However, the drinks were absolutely 'delish'.
I particularly loved the pls do not throw up signage, which added a unique and memorable touch to the atmosphere. The service and atmosphere received good ratings.

Great for Groups, Tasty Food
My friends love this place, so I've come here multiple times with them and can recommend it. It's a great place for groups and they can safely accommodate a big group if scheduled ahead. My friends also like the drink options where you can get unlimited fruity drinks in pitchers for a reasonable price, which is a good option for a group planning to drink anyway.
All the food I tried was quality and tasty. I also like the string lights! I’ve only come in the evening, but the restaurant is usually busy and it’s sometimes hard to get ahold of staff.
When I sat with a bigger group, I had to get up and get more menus and napkins/chopsticks myself because it was hard to flag someone down. Will undoubtedly be coming back.

Great Teriyaki Chicken and Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed the teriyaki chicken, which was really good. The atmosphere was great, and the service was also excellent.
I was seated in the indoor dining area and found the noise level to be quiet, making it easy to talk. The restaurant is highly recommended for vegetarians and suitable for all group sizes.

Good food, concerning plates
My experience at the restaurant was that the food was not bad. However, I hope the plastic bowls and plates can be replaced. It’s very likely to eat a lot of microplastics when the food is hot inside.

Amazing All You Can Drink & Good Sushi
My experience at this restaurant was centered around their amazing all you can drink offer, which is clearly what this place is best for. The sushi was also good. The atmosphere was great, rated a 5, and the service also received a 5.
The noise level was loud, but still allowed for conversation. We were a group of 5-8 people, and the price per person was between $30-50.

Fun, Affordable Sushi with Great Energy
My experience at Wasabi was a fun spot with surprisingly affordable and tasty sushi. The restaurant has a lot of fun energy. If you’re heading out afterwards, they have some bottomless deals you should check out.

Wonderful Place with Delicious Options
My experience at this restaurant was truly wonderful. The menu is huge, offering so many delicious options. I particularly enjoyed the rolls, which had great variety and were all wonderful.
The Udon was fantastic, and the specials were award winning. Enjoy!

Disappointing Sushi and Decor
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. The place could definitely use a freshening up and perhaps some help from an interior design expert. Unfortunately, the sushi rice was a major letdown; it was soggy, cold, and overcooked.
The overall food and atmosphere scores were low, reflecting these issues.
