Love Wasabi Mt P! From the moment you walk in, the hostesses are great, bartenders are on point and the servers are great,! The manager is just awesome! She will always check on everyone and I have only great things to say about the food and service! I haven't seen her lately (we haven't been to the restaurant in a couple weeks), but I hope to say hey to her soon! read more

Had dinner here with 8 people on Friday around 7-made reservations ahead. Had good decor and were seated promptly. After that, things went downhill. The appetizers came out very haphazardly. One right away and the other 3 or 4 apps spread out over about 20 minutes!! One of the kitchen runners really didn't appear to have any training. Would come out with food and didn't know what table it belonged to. Also didn't know the names of what he was delivering-we just had to recognize it was ours! And our Server was very nice but not on point at all. Forgot to ask for one of our party's dinner order-she had to stop him from leaving without it! We had to ask for water refills (with completely empty glasses), had to either MAKE him take our dirty plates or put them on another empty table ourselves. And the poor timing extended into our entrees. One couple didn't get their third sushi roll until we were all done eating!! Just very bad service-not on top of it!! Normally I give some leverage if the restaurant is slammed but it was only two tables in our section-maybe he had a section on the other side of the restaurant??? I haven't even talked about the food. We had sushi mostly and some hibachi. The food is the only reason this is 3 stars. Was really pretty good food but the poor timing coming from the kitchen to the table and the really poor service from our server eclipsed the tasty food. We were all grumpy-but-with-full-bellies, ready to leave at the end! We're not locals, but if we were would firmly cross this off the list. Well, maybe only for takeout. Would never sit down here again. read more

We love this place! We often drop in for Happy Hour. Bartender is very nice and efficient. The happy hour menu has lots of variety and they are all delicious! Dinner items are great. Salads were disappointing though. For the price, they should be more of an entree than they are. read more

The waitress had no idea of anything on the menu. Couldn't answer any questions. Ended up getting really sick an hour after eating the sushi. Works not come back every again. read more

Food was good. Better than any average local sushi place. But that's probably because we were spoiled with Oriental Garden. Service was very slow. Had to try and find out server several times. read more

Slow service, bathroom very dirty, needs work on tables and booths. If I am going to pay this much want it to be clean.

Recently stopped in during the dinner rush hour this past weekend and was delightfully surprised by the prompt service. The staff, many of whom I had a chance to interact with, were all amazing. Soup was piping hot and delicious; maki rolls here are probably the best you will find in Mt. Pleasant. Thanks again! -bnfjr read more

I have been here many times. First they have a great happy hour with great deals. Overall however I have not been bowled over by the sushi s spite several visits. I will say it is a good place to meet a group at. The bar area and dinning area are large and very comfortable. Can't wait for the cooler temps to roll up doors in the bar area to enjoy the outdoors. read more

This was my family's first experience with Wasabi Mt Pleasant and we will not be coming back. The service was extremely slow, the waitress had our sushi order wrong and then seemed unhappy that I pointed it out. Our steak was overcooked and we had to ask for our empty drink glasses to be refilled. The manager did her best to make it right by comping certain items, which was an appreciated gesture but not necessary. We kindly request that the servers be trained properly when working with the public for a more enjoyable experience for all parties involved read more

I drove by Wasabi one night and thought it looked pretty cool from the exterior so I made it a priority to come back. I have to say, the food was quite good. We had this sushi roll that was deep fried and it was heavenly. This was a special and I don't believe it's on the menu regularly. It was barely sushi but it was a great way to start things off. My wife and I split the Yaki Udon. Another well executed dish. While the food and service were above average, the pricing was borderline outrageous. If this place were to get its pricing in check, I'd give it at least 4 stars. The sushi pricing is reasonable but the entrees just seemed way too high. Based on others' reviews, I believe leveling out the prices will be the key to this restaurant surviving. If the prices don't scare you off, you can at least count on having a decent meal. read more

Mm my family went last night for the first time and I was not impressed. The restaurant was only about half full and the staff was friendly and courteous. The wait for the food was ridiculous which is why I'm giving three stars. You would have thought they were slam packed but that simply was not the case. The food was prepared nicely and tasted great just like every other sushi restaurant. I've eaten at some other wasabi restaurants and they were much better. read more

The food here is good- the service is the issue. We met some friends for a combined date night on a Friday evening. There were several open tables with no wait, so the problem wasn't that the restaurant was packed. Upon arrival, we were seated in a back area by the hostess. We then waited 25 minutes for someone to come and ask about drinks, and this only happened after a member of our party went back to the hostess station to ask where are server was. Things continued to go down hill from there. My husband and I both ordered sushi and an appetizer. The rest of the table got hibachi, so I asked that the appetizer be brought out at the same time as the salads. The salads came out, but the appetizer didn't. Once the soup was brought out, I received my sushi roll. My husband had no food, and we still hadn't seen our appetizer. The waitress let me know that the back of the house must have got it mixed up. The hibachi dinners were then delivered, and our appetizer, but my husband's sushi was MIA. After letting my sushi sit for a total of 20 minutes, where it was now warm and droopy, my husband finally got his dinner. Overall bad experience, which is too bad because the food is good. We had the Diablo Roll, Lotus Flower Roll, and Gyoza. All of which I would get again, but not at this location. read more

Lots of options to cure your lunch hunger. I was surprised at the quantity of offerings during my visit. As expected, typical Japanese entries (Udon, rice bowls, ect) were offered but they also had a sizable Thai lunch section (Pad Thai, Curries, ect). I still chose the Udon, which had a great flavor and the chewy texture I expect with Udon. Most entrees come with a salad. While the salad was mainly lettuce with some hidden tomatoes, the ginger dressing was one of the better ones I have had. I would love to make it back for happy hour to enjoy a Kirin and some sushi. read more

Have been to the Wasabi on Daniel Island several times, tried this place last night and while the food was good, the service was incredibly slow. Had two hibachi meals and some sushi. Liked the food, fresh and plentiful, but did not like waiting 40 minutes in between appetizers and mains. Asking when dinner would be out wasn't helpful. I could have understood if the place was jammed and the kitchen was backed up but that wasn't the case. read more

HA! NOPE. Can't wait for something else to move in there. The place looks nice. The crew is terrible, though. Prices are waaaay too high. The food was bad. Don't waste your money. read more

So tasty! I LOVE the house salad - the dressing is the BEST!! I've had several sushi rolls, hibachi and a few of the items on the lunch menu....ALL have been delicious! read more

How do I describe this situation? We're hungry, we hit our go-to sushi and Asian fusion place. We eat here 1 - 2 times a month. Our last visit was subpar, manager took care of it. This visit, our food took 50 minutes, and we ordered before the rush. Unacceptable. Waitress, never acknowledged the wait or offer to take care of us. Sushi and sweet and sour chicken arrived. Sushi, who rolled this stuff-- a 2 yr old. Fell asleep. The 15 dollar sweet and sour chicken, 1/2 the portion size of last time. I would call it kids sized, tho she ordered off the adult menu. We're tipping 2 dollars, left a note and the receipt. Not coming back. Damn MP. You're really letting me down. read more

A spot of sushi (well actually some rice-less freshwater eel, done just right) and a bowel. Salads for both me and the Mrs. The Japanese salad was replete with multiple types of greens, and veggies with a amazing ginger sauce/dressing. Had to be one of the best side-salads every tasted in American and Europe by the both of us. Rest of menu was sweet and the sushi was quite tasty. Will have to come back and do a bigger spread with time and appetite dictate. The documentary movie "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" was even discussed with our waiter. read more

This evening my dinner check was for $48 .... I was in conversation with my son when the waitress took the check .... There was a $20 bill plus my cc..... She gave me a cc payment charge for $48 and assumed the $20 was a tip ..... 50% tip .... sorry, I'm not in that league ... I talked to the manager .... rude, nasty, condescending .... apparently people give 50% tips all the time (if you believe him) .... my last names is NOT Rockerfeller, I'm on a budget and have to be careful .... I cannot give 50% tips out ... period. I told the manager that $20 was towards the bill and I would like a cc bill of $43 .... too much to ask I guess ..... Manager became nasty ..... I signed the cc slip ... and line a fool added 20% ..... So now the waitress has a $28 tip on a $43 meal. I live up the road from the restaurant ..... needless to say I an VERY UPSET by the whole experience .... VERY BAD EXPERIENCE .... EXTREMELY unprofessional management. I give the manager .5 out of 10 ..... With a $28 tip he told me I shouldn't come back ..... REALLY .... is that what you call service Wasabi??????? read more

This review is going to be very different because they royally messed up my order through Uber Eats today... they made it right, tried again then messed it up again!! I was blown away!! But here's the thing, the manager was just amazing and willing to do anything to make the situation right. She actually got the order together and drove it to me with a hefty gift card!!! This doesn't even go into how amazing their food is! Today was the first day I ordered their food to the house ( just had surgery and can't drive). I've been there many times and they never disappoint!!! Their house salad is the best salad I've ever had, the dressing is amazing and the crunchy wontons make it that much better. My personal favorite is the Asian Tuna Tartare( i always add a little lemon and lime and soy to it) but it is the most amazing thing I've ever put in my mouth!!! My two year old is the pickiest eater, even at other hibachi restaurants and he shovels this food in his mouth!!! I alway get him the steak and chicken hibachi with a soup and give him some of my salad. The sushi is also of the best quality and just amazing!!! read more

I'm not sure why this place isn't more crowded. They've got it all..great appetizers...great rolls..great drinks..great food from the hibachi grill..great desert..and, I'm almost out of breath...great attentive staff! Buddha's Belly and the Daniel Island are two of my favorite rolls. If your not a Suishi lover try the steak or shrimp from the hibachi grill. Worth it but you might need a take out box. Love the lettuce Wraps as an appetizer. But wait! Don't head to the parking lot without trying their fried ice cream..worth those extra 25 minutes I spent on the treadmill! read more

Wasabi - Umm that's all that was left by the time I grabbed my iPhone - Sushi Bars Near Me - Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

My first time here... it is wonderful! The service was fast and very friendly. I had the wrapped filet with asparagus- it's considered an appetizer but I only could finish half of it after eating the house salad! I highly recommend this restaurant. The sushi looked very good as well. Nice presentation and most important...delicious! read more

Second time into this Wasabi and both times we have had amazing meals! Ambiance is great. Melissa was our server this time and made an awesome meal awesome-r...she was fun, down to earth and a great server. We will definitely be back to see her and the awesome food that will undoubtedly await us. Give this place a shot. No reason at all for them to have bad reviews. Everything was on point. read more

Good food, great service. I recommend Megan as a server, she's quick and attentive. If you need a beer, she'll give you a beer stat. Food came out fast, so did the beer. I recommend this spot for dinner/lunch. Awesome read more

I come to this restaurant at least once a week, it is my #1 favorite spot in Mt. Pleasant! They have the most fresh and delicious sushi in town and it puts all others to shame. The atmosphere is modern and clean looking, and it is a very "nice" restaurant, and the prices are justified by the food. I usually get the "Scam" roll and it is my favorite meal in town! The wait staff are very friendly and many of them know me and know what i like to order. This is also a great place to get a drink at! Dress up or dress down. Absolutely recommended! read more

I was disappointed; they were short staffed so service wasn't great. The appetizer was good, but our hibachi was shrimp and scallops was over cooked and too salty. This was the 2nd time, I've come here, and both times I was not impressed. read more

Pad Thai was absolutely awful! Tables were sticky, I moved table twice! Glasses were dirty at each table, I asked why all the glasses were covered in dust and the waitress responded 'it's just lent from the drying towel' she proceeded to pour my water! I had to ask her to rewash the glass and dry it with something that does not leave lent! The floor was also covered in food crumbs. Very unsanitary. I will not be dining here again! read more

A yelp elite event was held here and was awesome which has brought me back twice since and service was great both times. I don't think I ordered the right thing the first visit because I left unsatisfied. However, the second visit was much better and the sushi was great. I'll stick to ordering what I know is good now (to me). read more

Not the same anymore for sure. Walk in tonight at 6:15 PM to see a big sign for Happy Hour 4-7. The hostess asked if we wanted high top or booth. We said booth. Then as we prepare to order we are told the happy hour is only for the bar area. They lost money for our party and we scaled back our order to a couple of sushi roles. Will not go back for sure and we finished our evening getting some great wings from Wild Wings just a few steps away. Poor waitress was even embarrassed explaining this to us. They have lost sight of customer service so you have to wonder what other aspects are at play. read more

What a difference about 5 miles makes. About 5 stars. After leaving due to bad service from Wando River Grille we ended up here. What a pleasant surprise to be able to get a table for our party that was now 9 people. We were greated quickly and got our first much needed drink quickly. This one was sooooo good. Just the right amount of tequila with a splash of soda and grapefruit juice. And the ice was good and solid instead of melted too soon. We got in our order quickly as it was pretty late and we had a lot of hungry people. I ordered the Green Curry Tofu dish and for $1.50 they gave me more veggies instead of rice(lowcarb). It was so good and the tofu really held the flavor so well. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their meals. They also gave a free desert to the birthday girl(mom). It was chocolate lava cake with berries. Oh so yum! read more

Great sushi! Extremely slow service. Slow no matter how your order. Table side. Or ordering to go.

We love having this gem right around the corner. Happy hour is ver affordable and the staff is super friendly with no turnover. Make sure to greet Brittney at the bar. read more

I had an Great experience at this restaurant. The food was outstanding I had the filet appetizer off of a suggestion from our server Anthony which was fantastic. And had a couple of their sushi rolls as my entree that were superb. The staff was all very friendly, the service was amazing, and the food was awesome. I will be dining in again soon read more

Have been here several times and have never been disappointed by the food or service. We only get the maki and the rolls - have not had any of the other dishes - so my review is based on that fact. The rolls are creative, the ingredients fresh, the fish - high quality. We have eaten sushi all over the USA and in Seoul, Korea. In my opinion - this sushi would be in the top 25% of all my tastings. The atmosphere is pleasant - the booths comfortable, and it is usually quiet enough to carry on a conversation. I don't consider this a fine dining experience by any means - but good for a pleasant casual lunch or dinner. read more

Definition of Wasabi: Extra fast service. The food is delicious and prepared well but what is the rush? I had two sips of my soup, then my appetizers magically appeared then one bite and here comes dinner! Please slow down your service or I will not return. read more

It's a great local place with good sushi, yummy Pad Thai & the beat homemade ginger dressing you will ever have! Honestly my favorite thing about this place is their house salad! It really is so simple but so delicious. read more

Fried foods made my stomach feel icky...... I got the Charles town squirts.

Great sushi. Also ordered edamame and lettuce wraps as appetizers. Food was fresh and really good! And had a fun waitress, Mia! read more

Went for happy hour. Good prices especially on sushi. The bartender was working super hard and really hustling tonight! Food was delish, as was the beer. Cool atmosphere as well! read more

Super disappointing. My husband and I went here when it first opened, and it was just okay. We ordered takeout and gave it another chance, and it was even worse. I ordered a roll and got 6 small pieces, less than what I'd get if I just got sushi at a grocery store. My miso soup was literally about 4 oz. and had maybe 2 pieces of seaweed and tofu. My husband got the chicken teriyaki. Their house salad had maybe 3 crunchy pieces and the soup was again about 4 oz. with one noodle in it. Honestly, it was about the worst we've ever had. If I wanted a crappy Japanese meal, I would have ordered something frozen or from the grocery store. We will stick to Sushi Taro where we normally go! read more
