Wasabi

I’ll give it 3 stars for the food. 1 star if you eat it there.
Let’s just say that West Chester is not known for it’s overwhelmingly wonderful ethnic foods, sadly. Finding a tasty Chinese/​sushi place wasn’t easy, and still not as good as Chinatown in Philly. We have ordered take out many times and the food is just. But, for West Chester area area, it’s actually one of the better places.
Eating at the restaurant is another story: This place is mostly set up for take out. That means that the place is not focused on a pleasant dining experience. For example, the screaming Vita-​Mix blender that is turned on full speed to (read: crushing ice for frozen drinks) is about 20 feet from every table… and it’s VERY LOUD and jarring when you are not expecting it. The sound bounces off the walls and it goes off and on the entire time you are eating. (Could this loud blender be place in the back room? Really, any place but in the small dining area would be great.) The servers are nice but they are helping with the take out orders which are plentiful. The take out area is the focus and you are well aware that people are coming, going and waiting while you eat.
I really wish there were other options close by.

I’m from Connecticut and found this place by chance.
Started with a Apple spice green tea, very tasty.
The Hot Sour soup was awesome, fresh hot and spicy.
Also ordered Hunan Beef which was to very good as well.
If back in town again, I will return to Wasabi!

I am here at least 3 times a month — best quality sushi in WC (besides Kooma), without spending an arm and a leg. Nice BYOB, can get crowded on the weekends, so there may be a wait.
Get the tuna lover’s roll, you won’t be disappointed!

Love the food here but I was so disappointed that they don’t have bubble tea. I would give them 5 stars if they had bubble tea. Food is prepared fresh. Nice environment to eat a good meal.

We had a Jewish Christmas: Chinese Food and a movie. This little gem does all Asian cuisines. You can mix tempura vegetables with Orange Beef. Although the take out business seems to dominate, service was good and wait times weren’t annoying. Sushi is a big deal here but we’re not Sushi people. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. Eat in or take out. It’s all good.

Wife and I sat at the sushi bar last night and it was fantastic as usual. Guys behind the bar are artists at making beautiful rolls and like to give you stuff to try if you ask questions and talk to them. They don’t speak a lot of English but they try.
We had the dowingtown roll & green river rolls, awesome!
Coconut shrimp is best entrée on the menu, a must order.

Wow. Service is paramount. Taste is very special. So warm and friendly. Go here and you will definitely be returning. Clean, and engaging. Staff is so helpful. I love coming here. The selection of sushi is great. Be here soon.

I fail to understand the high ratings this place receives. Ordered takeout over the weekend consisting of sushi and a couple Chinese dishes. It was average at best. Some of our group thought the Alaska rolls tasted strange. The other rolls were unremarkable. Although the price is cheaper, I’d rather pay more at Kooma for (imho) better product. Will I go back? Probably not. Would I recommend? Only if you don’t want to shell out $$$ at Kooma.

While we have only chosen to order takeout from Wasabi, we have been there 7 times in 7 weeks! My boyfriend and I really appreciate that they are always so willing to wrap our rolls in soy paper as requested. While we have had to wait upon arrival for our takeout, we know it will be a delicious, quality meal so we don’t mind. It’s always good to see this place packed for dinner with a line for people waiting for their takeout. .a GREAT sign and testament to excellent food! Our only complaint are the prices… a bit high. Especially since we are regulars, tough to keep paying high prices so often!

Compared to the other sushi options in West Chester (namely Kooma), this place is low key while still a nice atmosphere and the sushi is great. The prices are fair and the staff is also very friendly.

Have ordered take out a half dozen times here over the past two years. The restaurant is extremely busy and crowded and seems to be very popular. Take out? Want something cooked a particular way with particular ingredients? Forget it — the kitchen seems to ignore requests. Ordered vegetable fried rice, extra broccoli, overcooked (soft) with extra sauce. The order came back lightly cooked, no sauce and no broccoli. Rice with scattered peas and carrot fragments. Might as well have ordered plain white rice. Once again the order was tossed out in the back yard for the critters. Judging from the crowd it is probably a great place to eat. As for take out, try somewhere else.

Good food and good price. sushi is awesome. Waiters there were so funny, Manager say if you have a question or any suggest you can tell us。I like that.

Fun atmosphere inside. Great sushi and decent prices. We do takeout often and sometimes eat in. Service has always been fast.

Gave these guys another chance and we actually got seated this time, enjoyed a bottle of wine, and the sushi was quite good. I’m averaging up to three stars for now, and who knows, maybe another visit or two will get another star.
I should mention, however, that there were some people in the tiny lobby area that had been waiting for their take-​out orders for something like 45 minutes, and were pretty upset. Seems like they get really busy on weekend nights, so plan accordingly, whether eating in or taking out.

Best sushi place around! Since it’s BYOB, my fiancé and I got a bottle of wine next door and brought it over. Their rolls are so reasonable and fresh! We got 6 rolls, 2 soups and the spicy tuna tartar for $ 60ish! Ya can’t beat it. It’s a small place so I recommend making reservations but no sushi place in the area competes with Wasabi!

I loved the food! I’ve been trying so hard to find a good Chinese place for take out and I found it tonight! Didn’t have that «Americanized» taste! I will be back for sure! I agree that the girl at the counter seemed cold but for amazing food I’ll deal with it!

My son & I came here for lunch today 4÷25÷14. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere to it. For an appetizer, we ordered Crab Rangoon which was perfectly balanced with crab & cream cheese and fried crispy with sweet & sour sauce. We both ordered lunch specials. I ordered the Japanese spicy tuna bento box & my son ordered General Tso’s Chicken extra spicy with Pork Lo mein. The food was excellent.
The service was ok, our server was attentive & friendly, but some of the staff were rude. Also another thing we want to add is when an appetizer comes out give the diners time to enjoy the first course before the meal. My son is a culinary professional and was very disappointed when our lunch specials came out too soon before we had time to finish our appetizer. Time management was poorly executed needs to be addressed to management and the owners. I’m very sure your establishment take this very seriously but we just wanted to let you know.
The food was very good, other than minor issues as described, better service & time management, just on work them and you will be fine :)
We will surely return and enjoy Wasabi again :-)
Recommended!

My boyfriend and I went to Wasabi last night for dinner and we were both pleasantly surprised! For being in a small strip mall, the outside appearance was deceiving. The menu offered a variety of Chinese dishes and sushi.
We had delicious sushi, very fresh, made at a counter that is in open view. My boyfriend got the Dragon & Phoenix and he couldn’t stop raving about the flavor. It was fried chicken with a sauce that was sweet with a tiny kick and shrimp with steamed vegetables. The shrimp were the largest I’ve seen from a Chinese place in this area. Overall very high quality, good atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back or ordering take-​out more often!

(I´m giving this place 5 stars, but 4 is probably more accurate if you compare it to sushi and Chinese food places in NYC.)
I stop by Wasabi about once a week for a bubble tea and either some sushi or the broccoli chicken.
Wasabi is the only place in West Chester that serves bubble tea, and it is usually very good and natural. The «regular» bubble tea does not have any additive artificial powder stuff; it’s just milk, jazmine tea, pearls, sugar, and a little ice. Yum!
I’ve lived in Japan so the sushi cannot compare… At Wasabi it is westernized sushi, but very tasty and addicting nonetheless, and they will make it for you the way you want. My favorite is «Yummy»!
Usually Chinese food is too salty, saucy, oily for me, and the meat too soft. But the taste, smell, and texture of Wasabi’s broccoli and chicken seems quite natural and fresh. Not oily and no lingering aftertaste.
Also, you can order meals with brown rice. A very good option for those with a sensitive or picky stomach.
Sushi aside, if you are looking for authentic Japanese food, you may be disappointed as that’s not their specialty. (Although my friend from Tokyo once ordered their sashimi and said it was «quite good.»)
In response to other reviewers about customer service, I agree, there is one girl there who is moody and exhausted by late evening, but just 1 out of 10 or so employees. It may be a cultural or personal thing. Not a big deal, the food is worth it. The rest of the employees there are hard-​working and attentive.
Watch out — this place gets extremely busy on Friday and Saturday evenings and nights. There will be a bit of a line.
Finally, I like the smell of the place. It’s immaculate, and smells like sushi.
Sie sie, Wasabi!

We love this place for sushi. They also have a kick ass hot&sour soup. The service is hit or miss but that hasn’t changed our raves about the quality of their sushi and the fresh, creative rolls.
