Mr. Wasabi

The miso soup and hot tea were very good, but the sushi was uninspired and poorly presented. The rice was much too sticky. Our waitress on a Sunday afternoon was efficient, polite and friendly. The restaurant and restroom were clean. However, we will not return.

Bayside has a large Korean population — so it’s not shocking to know that Mr. Wasabi served Japanese food — but is made and owned by Koreans. That’s world peace for you. Forget about those wars.
Anyways we ordered carry out and followed the advice of many others and ordered the Volcano and Bayside rolls (and another but I can’t remember which). One of those rolls was fantastic! I just wish I could remember which one. It had a bunch of crunch on top.
Would I go back to sit and dine? Probably not. I pretty much only go to Ki Sushi in Brooklyn for high-​end sushi (the perfect trifecta of price point. quality. taste) OR Sushi Time in Forest Hills, Queens during work hours for mid-​end sushi that comports with the trifecta.
Would I go back for takeout? Sure… when visiting my in-​laws in Bayside, and when craving sushi. Bayside does not have a ton of sushi spots. Mickey’s Place is «Just OK», though their avocado bomb is. the. bomb. Mr. Wasabi is definitely a notch above Mickey’s overall, though a bit overpriced for what you get.

Compared to the other available sushi stores in the area, this sushi store did not give much bang for the buck. The service was excellent except for the clear preferential treatment of other people who happened to a larger group of people and received free appetizers. We did not get any. The portions were extremely small. Two rolls that were extremely small were $ 12. The shoyo ramen was dismal as well compared to totto or ippudo. Regular egg, not marinated like at ippudo. Other sushi places in the area offer three rolls for $ 10′ specials and even sushi family down on northern blvd offers free appetizers for all and even green tea or red been ice cream for dessert. Consider taking your business elsewhere.

I really wanted to like this small, what seemed like a family restaurant, but fell short in many ways.
Food — 3 roll lunch combo was $ 12 but the pieces were tiny. They give you 8 pieces per roll. It was okay.
Décor — seemed dirty and was dark. Could use a make over
Service — attentive.
It really fell short with its food and décor. I was not impressed.

They falsely advertise their prices online to what they charge in store. Then they won’t fix the price when you point it out to them. The staff is unprofessional and rude. Seriously $ 11 for one roll?! How are they in business !

I liked it, not much better than Mickey’s I do love it that they had soywrap to choose from instead of the seaweed. but that’s all I can really say. Spicy white tuna didn’t taste fresh. so I don’t know if I’ll return.

They don’t like people of color and treated me like trash As soon as I walked in, I will never come here again.

I so love this place. I’ve been going here with my family for the last 3 or 4 years. My daughter Amanda came up with her own roll: Avocado roll with seaweed on the outside, covered with tobiko & eel sauce, cut into 8 pieces instead of 6 (for small mouths). Because it’s difficult to explain all this to a new server, the manager (who doubles as a server) wrote the «recipe» on paper as the «Amanda Roll» and taped it behind the counter so everyone would easily know what we wanted in case she wasn’t around.
With consideration like that, good, attentive service, good portions of fresh fish, creative appetizers and rolls, and a nice atmosphere, how could this place NOT become a favorite? They’re not one of the more expensive sushi places around, either. Still, there are times when it’s packed, and others when it’s quiet there. Of course, we want them BUSY, so they can stay in business for us! Ok, so call me selfish. Better than shellfish!

I think I am scarred from such awesome places like Sushi Village and Sushi Palace. Knowing that I can get all I can eat sushi and sashimi for $ 22 compared to paying per piece kills me! I also don’t know how to order accordingly to my hunger when it comes to this either.
We came during lunch, and ordered spring rolls and a few pieces of tuna and rolls. The spring rolls were OK, they were small and barely had any vegetables in them. The rolls were good, and you can tell the fish is fresh. But the price in the end killed me for the minimal amount of food that we got.
I was disappointed when I asked what came with the sashimi deluxe and when I found out it had a piece of fish which I was allergic to, I asked if I can substitute it for something else and they said no. Really? You cant keep a piece of shrimp and give me an extra piece of salmon?
In the end, it was OK. I would rather try the other sushi places on bell, before I came back here.

1 out of 2 sushi places I always eat at on bell! Well for Mr. Wasabi, I usually order take out, and one downside is that they don’t deliver :(AND they’re closed on Mondays! Sometimes, on Mondays I crave specific sushi rolls that Mr. Wasabi makes really well but I can’t satisfy that craving.
This place has never let me down! I usually get the chicken tempura roll (no avocado) and it’s so so good. All other sushi places that I get chicken tempura roll is always meh, it’s a huge roll, the chicken is always too fried and it’s never appetizing. However, Mr. Wasabi’s chicken tempura roll is small (like a regular california roll) and it’s so much more tasty than any other one I’ve tried. I also always get the U.F.O roll which has deep fried salmon, kani, onion with avocado and masago (no avocado.) It also comes with two fried balls filled with kani and onions and not sure what else is in there but it is GOOD! This roll has a lot of flavors and I love that they give the two fried treats along with it! I also order the yaki udon, which has so much flavor! It’s one of my favorite yaki udons ever.
The service is always great, they’re super nice and friendly. I cannot eat avocado so I always have to say «no avocado please.» Other restaurants have messed up and given me avocado but I’ve ordered from Mr. Wasabi countless times and they haven’t messed up once!

The special rolls here are really good. I always get the bayside roll with the crab lover roll. I recommend both you won’t be disappointed. The crab croquettes are a must have when you come here.

Love this sushi spot. I always get the wasabi cheese roll with either the crab lovers roll, UFO, or Bayside roll. It never disappoints. The crab croquette that comes with the UFO roll is pure heaven. you must try it on its own if you are not willing to order the UFO roll (the crab croquette is also offered as an appetizer). Very good kani salad as well

The food was delicious and service was impeccable!!! Love this place

Over rated and Over priced! You can find a lot better sushi for a lot cheaper. These people don’t care about customer satisfaction all they care about is over charging people.

One of the worst wrapped sushi I have seen. Ordered a crunchy salmon roll. The little bit of crunch on there was not crunchy but soft. A few rolls hardly had any salmon in there. Taste-​wise, edible but nothing special. Pricy for what it is.

I ate here once about 15 years ago and I can’t remember it at all due to having a tad much to drink. Well 15 years later I came back and it was still standing which means it has to be halfway decent in an area that routinely chews restaurants up and spits them out.
The menu is fairly standard for your typical Japanese restaurant (sushi, assortment of noodles and cooked teriyaki based foods) and it seems like the lunch specials are a hit locally. You certainly get a lot for your money during lunch. I wasn’t hungry so I opted for two small rolls but the family tried some other items to give me enough to base a review on. The spicy crunchy roll was decent and the salmon skin was good. The udon was in a well balanced broth and the yaki udon was pretty tasty.
The space is a bit cramped but it’s clean. Service is decent and attentive. This place won’t knock your socks off but its a very good option for a quality meal at a reasonable cost.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant. It’s not all you can eat, but you can instantly tell the quality of the fish is better. The rolls don’t have a lot of rice like the other places and the portion of sushi they put in is very generous. The basic rolls are pretty small and they give you 6 pieces so one basic $ 5-​$ 8 roll won’t fill you up. But a specialty roll is pretty big and they top it off with lots of different toppings. Two of my favorites are the super crunch and volcano.
I’ve also tried the sushi special for two and as I said, the fish is fresh. You can even watch the chef prepare your dish or roll behind the glass counter where all the ingredients are stored for you to see.
I’ve heard a lot of horror bathroom stories the day after eating sushi at a buffet, but it has never been a problem for me. Mr wasabi is a legit sushi restaurant and I wouldn’t get my sushi elsewhere. Not to mention, at the end when they bring out the check, they give you these tiny fruit candies which are SOO good. I don’t know where they get them, but I’ve never seen them before and I love it.

It’s okay. Bit on the pricey side, but the sushi rolls are okay, nothing special. I think an order comes with 8 pieces. I usually just get their Dragon Rolls, with the eel and eel sauce on it. Delicious. Can’t go wrong with that!
It’s a nice, quiet place. Good, prompt service. Nice, convenient location. Right after a meal here, there’s a Red Mango directly across the street for dessert. Yay!
:D

Decent sushi but a little more on the pricey side. I came here on a Friday night for dinner and the place was not that busy. We were seated right away and food came out pretty fast. We ordered the tuna tataki as an appetizer and it was served so quickly. Makes me wonder if it was already prepared and just taken out of the fridge. It didn’t taste that fresh and biting into each piece the fish was a little chewy. I had a spider roll and salmon/​avocado roll. They gave more than the usual 6 pieces per roll, which was nice. Service was fast and attentive as our waters were continually filled.
Basically.If you want fresh, inexpensive, and great tasting regular rolls go to Sushi Bell. But if you want fancier rolls and more variety (udon, chicken teriyaki, tempura, etc) then come here to Mr. Wasabi.

Not bad at all. Their lunch special bento box is very appealing. I watched my friend eat his bento box and wished I had ordered that instead of my spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls. My spicy rolls were good, and I would def come back to try other options.
The place is dainty but it’s cozy and bright. The place is inviting, and my waitress was nice, no complaints. Price was average for sushi, so no complaint there either.
