    King Salmon Sushi (yum), Tuna Sushi, Salmon Avocado Roll, Tobiko sushi, and Pepper Tuna Sushi (with the sauce drizzle)
    Paul P.

    Wasabi Orange absolutely blew me away. The sushi was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The salmon and tuna sushi practically melted in my mouth, and the rolls were packed with fresh fish and avocado--not overloaded with rice like so many places do. I ordered the King Salmon Sushi (yum), Tuna Sushi, Salmon Avocado Roll, Tobiko sushi, and Pepper Tuna Sushi (pictured with the sauce drizzle). I ordered this through uber eats. A HUGE plus in my book is this restaurant allows for customization on many things! I used the customization options for the maki rolls. You can add so many different things to make it just to your liking!! (Ex: I added cucumber to the salmon avocado roll). The add-ons were not outrageously pricy either. Everything tasted clean and high-quality, and the prices were reasonable for the quality. Portion size is on tue smaller side. The tuna and salmon sushi pieces were quite small. Personally I believe in quality over quantity, but something to consider. Overall, the sushi was delicious, super fresh, reasonably priced, and honestly some of the best I've had in the area so far. I'll definitely be back. 4.5/5, if the sushi wasn't as small as it was I'd give it 5!

    Totally irresistible. Wasabi could go up against any sushi place even in Japan and hold its own. The owner is a creative genius who uses the freshest ingredients to bring a level of flavor that will keep your mouth happy for hours!

    Wasabi is the Best Japanese Restaurant in Connecticut...and Beyond!!! We have been enjoying the Wasabi restaurant for many, many years. The food and service are exceptional!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was remodeled some years ago, making it the perfect setting to enjoy the offerings!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Here is a photo of our Granddaughter, Avia, taken there over 16 years ago. The picture strongly reflects our continued gastronomical emotions!!!

    A great sushi spot in Orange! The seating area is on the smaller side but I went for lunch so there was no wait. They offer daily lunch specials which are very affordable, like any 2 sushi rolls for $10.95. The sushi tasted extremely fresh and was rolled neatly. The service was very quick and easy.

    Was quite surprised to see they had a lunch special that they honored on a sunday! My go to order is Spicy Salmon and Salmon Avocado rolls and it didn't fail to disappoint. Prices for the lunch were very reasonable and overall I thought all the prices were reasonable. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely return again.

    Ordered lunch special pick-up today. Sushi is good but I got the salad with dust in it. Please make sure you wash your vegetables Wasabi!

    I order special lunch today with a side of salad. The lettuce has dust and I had to throw the whole thing away. Sushi is good but it doesn't make up for the insanitary issue.

I have recently discovered the location in Orange CT and ohh my gooooodness am I happy that I did! This place is my happy place, my safe space and all of my hearts desire. The servers are very friendly and speedy. The place is very clean and inviting. I have already eaten at this location probably ten times since discovering it and if my memory serves me right there has been no mess up's with the food orders (as often can happen with all you can eat sushi places). Now to get to what's important -- the sushi. It's truly impeccable. So fresh, the portions are very generous. As you can see in the pictures there isn't much else you can ask for!!! Truly worth every penny. 1000000/5 stars. When my friend and family come to visit this is where I bring them! Every sushi lover should experience this experience! *** recently ordered Sushi Palace on Uber Eats to treat myself at work. It was just as fresh and delicious as the dine-in experience. Same generous portions of fish to rice ratio and same quality. Best sushi in CT so far!

Many tables but a small sushi bar with four chairs only. The tables are basic not fancy. MENU - they have a regular menu which is small. Their claim to fame is an all you can eat menu. SERVICE - nice and polite but kind of like a fast food experience. No small chit chat interactions. SUSHI - decent quality and offerings from the all you can eat menu which PRICE - kind of a plus with all you can eat at $30 a person OVERALL - for me a solid three and a half. A four would require more congenial service.

The soft tofu soup was satisfying, the garlic fried chicken wings were crispy, and the seafood pancake had a great taste and texture with a nice crispness throughout. My only minor critique is that I wish there had been a bit more seafood in the pancake, but it was still very delicious overall. One thing that really stood out was the hospitality. They brought out a complimentary steamed egg dish for my daughter, which was incredibly thoughtful and much appreciated. Small gestures like that really make a difference.

I…read morerecently stopped in and ordered their signature bowl, The Triforce, and it was hands-down the best poke bowl I've ever had. The Triforce is loaded with tuna, salmon, and shrimp, paired with fresh pineapple and crisp cucumber, then topped with kani salad, seaweed salad, green onion, and roasted seaweed. Everything is brought together (sitting on top of your choice of rice, I chose sushi rice) with their poke special sauce and sweet chili sauce, which adds just the right balance of savory and sweet without overpowering the seafood. What really stood out was the freshness of every ingredient in the bowl. The fish tasted incredibly clean and high quality, the pineapple added a bright pop of sweetness, and the seaweed and kani salad gave the bowl a great mix of texture. Every bite felt perfectly balanced, and you could tell that nothing had been sitting around -- it all tasted freshly prepared. Beyond the food, the experience was great as well. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, making the whole visit feel relaxed and enjoyable from the moment I walked in. It's always nice when a place combines excellent food with genuinely good service. Overall, Natural Kitchen completely exceeded expectations.

We went for the All You Can Eat menu and ordered all the usual favorites, like salads, hot kitchen appetizers, sashimi, and specialty rolls. Honestly, the food was great. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and there really wasn't anything we didn't like. However, I do have a few gripes. The price was $31.95, and it stays the same price for lunch and dinner. I really think they should have a cheaper lunch price because it's hard to justify that much money when there are other spots around that offer an even bigger menu for ten dollars less. The biggest issue for me was their policy on food waste. In the eight years I have been hitting up sushi spots, I have never seen a place act this way. We had about four or five pieces of sushi left over, and they told us we had to eat at least two more of them or they would charge us extra. It felt like a bluff, but they were serious. It honestly felt like being pressured over a couple of pieces of sushi when you are already paying top tier prices, and it left a bad taste in my mouth for the rest of the night. I know some people rave about the quality here, like the pepper tuna that Christina S. loves, but because of how that last interaction went, I probably won't be back. It's a shame because the food is solid, but if you go, just be aware that they are super strict about what you leave on your plate.

Although I'm not crazy about miso soup or the salad, I was very pleased to see that they offer both as some places offer one or the other. Although they're not my favorite, miso soup on a day like today is very comforting, and the salad is an amazing palate cleanser. I got the three roll special, with a Philadelphia roll, spicy crab roll and the avocado cucumber roll. 18 piece pieces altogether with the wasabi and ginger. Sushi X is an AYCE establishment. I'm not sure what their rules or policies are, as I got my food to go. I don't think AYCE is for me, as I've had three pieces of each roll and I am already nice and full. The woman who greeted me was very nice, and the establishment was clean but quaint. Ample parking. It's also in a great location in my opinion. Savin Rock Beach is just behind the restaurant in walking distance and if it weren't 24° outside, that would be a nice stroll to take after eating. Although this review is about this restaurant specifically, I actually recommend exploring the entire area because there are a lot of hidden gems and diverse culinary offerings within walking distance from Italian, to seafood and Mexican to name a few. There are also several bars along Campbell Ave. Maybe that's a well kept secret & I just let out lol. If you have the stomach capacity for AYCE sushi or you're in the area and just want a nice lunch special, I highly recommend.
