    We haven't been here for couple of years, but the quality and taste are still great. The old owner Alex has past away, but the the new owner continues the same traditional foods. We always sit at the bar to talk to the sushi chefs and see what is fresh. The feel of the location has been low key, with many open spots. Could be the unseasonable cold temp of 27F.

    Best sushi ! Sat at the bar and Mike the chef is amazing just watching him create his sushi dishes ! I've been following him since his days at Goros over 17 years ago and will continue. Great sushi, atmosphere, and location is super convenient right off highway.

    Came for a birthday dinner. Our server brought so much energy to the table. They even took sake bombs with us. With a big party they were attentive and only missed a few items at first. They were very nice to give us everything we needed to cut and serve our cake.

    Sashimi sampler very good

    I came back to try this place out again and was very impressed with the food and service. The only issue is there is a stench in the restaurant l I think it's coming from the bathrooms. Other than that, everything else was great.

    Spicy Rainbow Roll

    Wife and I wanted a relaxed meal after a busy weekend, so we headed to Wasabi! We'd been before and really liked their yellowtail sashimi. The music was audible, but not overbearing. The atmosphere was calm which we greatly appreciated. We were sat in a booth, given waters, miso soup, and salad to start. I also ordered a Kirin Ichiban beer. They brought it out cold and with a cold glass. Wonderfully crisp taste. Our server was nice and ready to answer any questions we might have. The miso soup met expectations. I've definitely had miso that has felt watered down before and that was not the case here. The lettuce in the salad was crisp. We ordered the spicy rainbow roll and crazy salmon roll. You really can't go wrong with rainbow roll and my wife was willing to indulge me and my love for spicy. The rainbow roll is always so fresh and the variety of fish keeps it interesting. The spice was manageable so I of course mixed wasabi and soy sauce for just a hint of sinus clearing tingle at my nostrils. The crazy salmon roll was also delicious! My wife loves a good crunchy roll and both rolls met that goal. Wasabi has become one of our favorite SA sushi spots and we definitely recommend it to our friends and family. Cheers!

    Great happy hour! Weekdays 4-7 pm. Their sushi was good too! We got the Ikura sushi, salmon sushi, Shibuya roll, yellow tail roll. The fish was fresh! Plus edamame (plain and spicy/garlic). I think next time I'll just get the plain edamame and the garlic one, the spicy was a little too spicy. The jalapeño bombs were great also but insanely spicy for me. Good, friendly service. It wasn't busy on a Tuesday at 5:30/6 pm. Not sure what it's like on the weekends. Will be back!

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Michelle H.

    I would not recommend wasabi, and definitely think there are better options for sushi. I ordered a shrimp tempura roll and was severely disappointed it came wrapped in soy paper which was not specified on the menu. That being said, there was an excessive amount of rice for the roll. The fish quality itself is okay but I don't think I would come back.

    Spacious and diverse restaurant with great service and food! Our server was very kind and patient! Their happy hour has some great deals, and the regular sashimi prices are great!! They have sushi, korean, and chinese inspired dishes. Lots of indoor seating, ranging from bar to booth to tables! The mussels appetizer was one of my favorites- although it is very rich and filling. The salmon sashimi was incredibly fresh and thick! The salmon roll was great too. My favorite roll was the salmon avocado- they gave generous portions of both! Would highly recommend this restaurant, especially for their happy hour. Anothet plus is that they have complimentary soup and salad when you dine in!

    Came to check it out since it under new management! It is the crew from Kai, so no disappointment with food or service! Delicious and fresh as always!

    Loyal salmon roll

    Not one to leave reviews but I door dashed my food and this is what's sent to me. Like seriously wtf is this quality? Even the pieces that don't look like that are still insanely chewy and doesn't taste fresh whatsoever. If this is the quality that's good to send out then I dont even know how you guys are still in business. Never eating here again and there goes my dinner into the trash.

    Great service the waitress was super nice and friendly. Made to make sure ask if we had any questions about the menu. The inside was nice and clean. No one was really there so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. I got the sushi which is why I really came. I wanted to try a new spot. The sushi was fresh and tasted great. They don't use a lot of rice which is nice. I got a good amount of sushi and wasn't overly full. I will definitely be coming back.

    Spurs Roll 5/5 hit the spot, exact what I wanted. Crispy and creamy with a little kick of spice.

    Just ordered through doordash and it is so yummy. It was ready fast and travelled well. The Spurs rolls are delicious and creamy!

    Happy hour

    We planned to meet family friends for dinner tonight. We had decided to meet @wasabisushisa. Happy hour ended at 7pm. Dad had Lemonade, Hubby had Iced Green Tea, and I had hot green tea. We all had the complimentary salad with ginger dressing. Hubby, Dad and Dr. Tan had miso soup. Dad had wanted Shrimp Tempura so we ordered that. We also ordered Salmon sashimi. Grace had the Calamari. Several of us had the Chilean Sea Bass. Loved the salad and shishito peppers. We also had the Bacon-wrapped Scallops. Everything was delicious! David was our server and took good care of us. We ended up taking home some food.

After Tuesday visit, the rating remains on 5, but only because we had an amazing time on Sunday. Maybe on Tuesday there was a different chef, but food just didn't taste the same, and a few Sunday dishes we asked for on Tuesday (standard menu) were sold out. Both times I had rice lager specially brewed for the restaurant, and it was delicious. An absolute highlight on Sunday was the dish called Hand of God - the smoky wagyu on top of the rice cake was just an absolute perfection, not anything I had before (this dish was not available on Tuesday). We also had similarly smoky vegetable roll which was also experience in itself. This was my first time at the sushi restaurant where waiter suggested that the nigiri pieces are perfectly ready to eat, require no extra soy sauce or wasabi, and should be picked up by hand instead of chopsticks - another wonderful experience. I also had few different nigiri piece, two different types of mackerel and uni - an absolute wow (on Sunday). Service was good both days, but still a little bit better on Sunday (better recommendations). Definitely recommended.

Fortunately, the atmosphere was enhanced by the Spurs game, which was entertaining despite the disappointing outcome. The service was attentive, professional, and contributed positively to the overall experience. Would I return? Quite possibly - particularly with a companion whose company better complements the quality of the venue.

    Came here on a Friday night for a double date. Definitely make a reservation because this place was…read morepacked and poppin. We didn't realize this place was a cousin of Shiro and owned by the same guy until we saw some similarities in their style, layout and menu but nevertheless, the food was still absolutely amazing. Even though the ambiance had some similarities, I'm glad their food options were distinguished because otherwise could have just gone downtown. You cannot go wrong with any of their food options. Highly recommend doing family style so you can get a taste of everything and all the different flavors. We started with the gyoza and calamari which were to die for and were not greasy at all. Pork ssam, wagyu, miso pasta and octopus all brought a little bit of their own element and flare to your palate that it's hard to describe unless you try it. Wagyu was just melt in your mouth delicious. Pork ssam and octopus had their crunchy texture and umami flavors. The miso pasta added a light refreshing touch to balance everything out but don't let it fool ya, the noodles will expand in your stomach. We topped it off with their yuzu cake. Our only disappointment was they were out of their other desserts but nevertheless everyone of us left full and happy. Would come here again.

    When I first read about Yozora, I honestly thought it sounded a bit pretentious. Fascinating, but…read morepretentious. Because the idea of music being an actual integral part of the dining experience--not just some kind of background noise--felt a little precious for my taste. I'm glad to admit I was wrong. So let's start with the ambiance and the vibe of Yozora. It's in a fairly non-descript kind of center; not bad but not specially memorable. But the space itself is open and has an air of restrained sophistication. And then there's that hi-fi set up. The music at Yozora really is part of the experience, but it's not intrusive in the way that you'd think. Most of what my dining companion and I heard was 50s and 60s jazz, and it was perfect for the occasion. Sushi and Coltrane are a great mix, and even though we were not far from the hi-fi system, I could hear every word of our conversation, without the need for either of us to raise a voice. Somehow, it's like the music operates on a different frequency from regular table chatter. Suffice to say, the music enhanced the mood and really set a scene for Yozora's chefs to tell some stories. And that, they do really well. We started out with seasonal tempura and miso masu ceviche--ocean trout marinated in miso, soy, and lime juice--that was sublime. But funnily enough, the real star small plate was a truffle creamy miso soup that was earthy and slightly sweet at the same time and was silky in texture. From there, we ordered a series of crudo and battera, each unique in its own way. It was wonderful stuff, accompanied by a rice lager. The kitchen at Yozora is not shy about experimenting with non-traditional flavors and ingredients. Sometimes it works really well; sometimes, not as well, but it's never bad, and the servers actually ask for feedback for the kitchen, which is something I rarely see. Yozora honestly seems to be most concerned with creating a great dining experience, and it does that, from the chefs to the line cooks to the servers (who are helpful and attentive without hovering). The music, the mood, and the menu add up to a memorable experience.

I was immediately annoyed because the music was very loud to me. That could have been due to the empty restaurant, the actual volume or my perception of the volume lol. I was really hoping for a more intimate vibe for conversation. The speakeasy lounge actually looked more like the vibe that I desired but I settled in and placed my order. I wanted some of the showier selections seen on IG, so I ordered the tuna tower and flaming Romeo & Juliet roll and a cute (albeit sweet) cocktail that came in a goldfish shaped glass. When the tuna tower arrived the young server asked me something several times which I couldn't hear over the music, so I just nodded. After she smashed the tuna tower, I figured out she was asking if I wanted it mixed. Lol my bad! I actually did not want it mixed but it was delicious anyway. The Romeo and Juliet roll took forever to stop flaming but once it died down, it was absolutely delicious. My partner enjoyed his roll as well and they gave him a complimentary birthday desert with sparklers. Overall I give service a 3. I would have liked a more professional presentation of the menu, hyping it up a bit. And a less soft spoken server. The food was a solid 5, everything was fresh and scrumptious. Overall I give Uni'ko 4 stars and I look forward to returning. I thought it was a good value given the extra razzle dazzle and food quality.

I felt the rice was al dente and rice isn't like pasta to be served this way. Either use your fingers to measure right, fluff the rice in Hangiri for mixing or measure using cups. They have a rice cooker so I find it difficult for them to not cook the rice properly. The service was good though.
