Wasabi

What’s wrong with you people? My family and I ate here because the good reviews out weighed the bad. This place is terrible. The sushi roll was not rolled properly and falling apart, also had imitation crab meat in it. Chicken was dry and no flavor. Everything tasted like it was coated with eel sauce. My husband had diarrhea all evening from the food. Don’t take the chance with this place. Their standards for good food are extremely low.
Service was good.

Great staff and it’s a nice spot. We ordered several items for lunch. Most were good — loved the egg rolls, tempura veggies. The won ton soup has no ingredients but won tons. Rolls were good. Quick service.

I got the sesame chicken and a wasabi roll. The sesame chicken was ok and the wasabi roll was SO good. That was enough for me to share half with my coworker and we were both stuffed. Definitely good but a bit pricy. $ 11 for sesame chicken with white rice and $ 14 for the roll… Next time, I’ll just get the roll for myself or go for lunch to get their bento box.

I have lived in the Austin area my whole life and this restaurant is a hidden gem right in the heart of Georgetown. The food is amazing! It is fresh and full of flavor. I have yet to try a dish that I do not like. The staff is wonderful, attentive and always kind. If you are looking for good food and friendly faces please try this place, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing food! Very fresh, great sushi, delicious Japanese and Chinese cuisine, very friendly attentive staff and a clean environment! Give it a shot u won’t regret it!!!
Did I mention Amazing sushi!!!

Frankly the service is weird. The kids working there are nice but have no experience and kind of mill around a lot. No formal greeting from them, just, «so I’m gunna take your order now» and «so are you done or are you gunna order anything else». The food was mediocre and kind of pricey for the cost. It really was a one and done place. We won’t be revisiting. Nothing personal, just giving an honest review.

The namesake «Wasabi» roll is to die for. amazing! My wife enjoyed the Scallops and Garlic dish (does she want to kiss later? Hmmm). Service was very good, although, like others have said, they could probably use an additional wait person. The décor is nice, seats and booths are comfortable. Not good for kids or large parties, but ideal for a nice dinner for 2 or 4 people. I suppose I’d have given 5 stars but it just doesn’t feel fancy enough or have 5 star prices.

Excellent food and great environment! Every time I’ve eaten here, it is delicious and the sushi is very pretty and fresh. The service has gotten better each time we go and the chef came out to talk with us one night and help us with the menu… They have a lot of choices. :)

Came for the name, stayed for the Honey Chicken! By far the best Honey Chicken I have had in three states. Service was excellent, the only thing that needs work is the rice.

I came and they brought me plate after plate of great sushi. It was amazing. The service was fantastic, friendly and on point. I recommend visiting for your sushi cravings any day of the week.

we’ve eaten here several times, and the staff turnover is high, but usually fair to good service. I think they’re understaffed, and usually aren’t too busy– which is a shame. They have great potential– I’ve always loved what I’ve ordered!
They aren’t high-​end, by any means, but the place is mostly clean.
Great sushi, fair prices– great deals on the lunch menu, though! Hunan chicken and spicy tuna roll are regular orders from me.
If what a prev poster said, about the house getting all the tips, is true… Shameful. That may have something to do with high turnover! Good luck, Wasabi, I hope you stick around!

Love the food & the service. Have an issue with the wait staff not receiving tips that they work for. Read a review, on another site, that said, «When we asked about how the tips were done, split amount staff, everyone keeps their own etc, she hesitantly but more discreetly replied ‘I’m not supposed to say this but ALL TIPS GO TO THE HOUSE, they don’t receive ANY!!». We showed our waiter that review and he looked around, to be sure the manager wasn’t in hearing/​seeing range and he discreetly nodded his head and said a quick, «Yes, that’s correct». We were able to discreetly slip our staff a cash tip. So, if you go here, please don’t leave a tip on your card or cash on the table, your wait person won’t receive it. I will admit we did not get a chance to ask if they get paid minimum wage or above because of not getting the tips. Maybe we’ll find out one day.

3.5 stars :
Pros: good food. The young man and two young employees that were host /​hostess /​waitress were very friendly and helpful. The price is good too. I picked up our dinner «to go» so I can’t really speak for much about the sit down service or atmosphere because I haven’t experienced it yet. Unordered two sushi rolls, and my hubby had chicken/​beef lo mein. Both of us were happy with the quality of food.
Cons: there do not have a menu available online or in an email /​PDF format — so I had to go in and look at a menu before placing my order. It doesn’t seem like «too much» trouble to put a menu in PDF format and upload it to help. I might try it myself– just to see if it is possible. #2 the supervisor /​owner was «curt» with his staff — which is always inappropriate
Glad to know there is a good Chinese/​sushi option in G-​Town.

We have eaten at Wasabi three times over the past two months, and all three experiences were terrific.
We ordered Chinese food and it was delicious! The portions were huge, enough so that we had a second meal from our first take-​home box, and we shared a plate the last two times.
The sweet and sour chicken was wonderful, as was the chicken with vegetables (brown sauce on this dish was amazing), as well as the moo goo gai pan.
The wait staff was polite, prompt and friendly, and we have enjoyed our meals at Wasabi tremendously. We will definitely choose Wasabi anytime we are craving Chinese food.

Worst waiter ever. Rude from the get go and husband ask please let’s start over because I don’t want to get upset. He responded with that’s fine go ahead I can take because I have other tables to wait on. And preceded to raise his voice because we were suppose to be ready to order. Husband ask for manager and he claimed to be the owner. Shocked to hear an owner would raise his voice and be so rude. We understand you get busy and overwhelmed but that attitude was way out of line.

Fantastic food and service! Fairly priced. The Sushi Chef is very friendly and always a delight to visit with. A hidden gem in Georgetown!

The sushi was good. Every dish was presented beautifully. For great sushi I can come back here. Wasabi is an average tasting sushi bar.

Love this place!
The sushi is phenomenal, and every meal we’ve had has been absolutely delicious.

a friend brought some rolls to a party a few weeks ago and they were good. So I thought I’d try them out for lunch … WRONG!
It took 10 minutes to seat us because the tables were dirty … Empty but dirty. That’s fine… Then it took forever to get a drink order in … And another 10 minutes to order our food. 30 minutes of my lunch break just to order. Not a great start. I sent an email explaining that I’d be late returning from lunch. This just wasn’t going well…
The food finally came out. But my order was wrong. The server argued with me. «Excuse me, I ordered Garlic Pork.»
«Yea yea. This is your order.»
«No — garlic pork has pork and garlic in it. This doesn’t have either!»
«No no no — that’s how we cook it. This is your order!»
Tasted like crap! It was twice cooked pork … Which I like but not from here! Somehow the chef got confused and thought it meant two pieces of pork and lots of veggies that were WAY OVER COOKED. MUSH! I ate the fried rice … I wanted steamed.
My son got the Mongolia Beef — YUCK! Slimy beef that had way too much corn starch and onions. Mostly it was a plate of onions which was good because the meat was absolutely terrible! We dared each other to try the food. «I double dog dare you to take a big bite!» «Ah come on — I’ll lick the floor. Just don’t make me eat this crap!»
We also ordered a tuna roll … At was average. How bad can it be? The tuna was the HEB yellowfin with a white rice and a wrap.
30 minutes later my son and I are fighting over the bathroom. Hope we have enough TP!!! Worst experience I’ve had in a long time. Definitely won’t go back… Unless I need to take a sick day from work or I’m massively constipated.

I have dined here a few times since moving here to Georgetown… I was having sushi withdrawals and it seems like this is the only sushi joint in town.
The servers know absolutely zip zero about fish or the rolls.
Wine and beer only. They don’t know Jack about wine either… The owner is a young guy who drinks beer at the sushi bar. The same sushi bar I attempted to sit at but couldn’t view the guys making the food… It’s all wood instead of glass… Whatcha hidin Wasabi? Kitchen is not clean either…
Please georgetown, open a decent sushi place so I can get my roll on…
