Had a sign at the front saying they were short staffed and I totally understand but the service was just so bad. The host at the front was not very welcoming and didn't greet us or say goodbye. We were taken to the table and not given any menus and our server tried to take our order and didn't even notice .... After we were finished eating he said "how is everything so far" like the steps of service were not at the correct timing and if it's short staffed I understand but at that point offer dessert or the check. Although the food was decent the service made me not want to return. read more

Whaddya doin' to me, Yelpers?!? I trusted you and came to Wasabi excited for amazing sushi. Instead, we got hot water soup that had a whisper of miso. Sauerkraut seasoned with gochugaru that they tried to pass off as kimchi and some the most poorly rolled sushi rolls I've ever tried to eat. Even with all of this, I would've been happy if the rolls tasted good, but none of them impressed me. The Sushi Fever roll was obnoxiously spiced- you know, when it's spicy, but not flavorful so you just sit there all mad with your lips tingly? That kind of spice. The Red Dragon roll was one of the rolls that kept falling apart so that one just pissed me off all around. We ordered the Bellagio roll and for some God awful reason it came with cream cheese inside! The last roll was a Spider roll and when those began falling apart I just was done. The entire meal- from start to finish- was a disappointment. My one star was given for the prompt service. read more

I met a friend for lunch at Wasabi sushi on a Wednesday afternoon. I was looking forward to trying out one of their Bento Boxes but we got there close to 2:30 pm and the server told me that it was too late to order one. Anyway, my friend ordered one of their specials and I ordered one of their Korean dishes. Well, I must say the food was ok. It was not my favorite but that's on me because I got there too late. Meanwhile, my friend and I had a great time talking and before we knew it, it was almost 5pm! We should have stayed for dinner but we had things to do and people to see! Overall, not a bad place to eat but I think I'd try other places like it and see what they're like. read more

Last night was the first time here in many years, but it is as I remember it...VERY GOOD and worth it! Dinner with the lady about 6p. Walked in and seated right away in a nearly empty restaurant. I literally wondered aloud how this place stays open if the norm is to be that empty. But, it was early...and Wednesday. They delivered Miso soup to the table along with a small salad to start, and both were tasty. We split the Spurs roll (because apparently, everyone gets it) and the Red Dragon roll. They came out beautifully plated and were absolutely FANTASTIC! We cleaned that plate no problem! The rolls are what you'd expect cost wise. BUT! You get complimentary Miso soup and salad, and if you go early enough, there are specials for happy hour! Overall, after last night, Wasabi shot up my list of go-to sushi places! Aaannnddd, I had so much fun in their bathroom I could barely contain myself. I know. Sounds weird, right? But you don't understand...they put ICE IN THEIR URINALS! Melting that ice was satisfying in a completely childish way. read more

Fast enough service to go to lunch here when you only have an hour. They offer fantastic lunch specials which are super affordable and incredibly filling. I had 6 pieces of nigiri, and it's one of the few sushi spots that offer escolar, one of my favorites. My coworkers got some sweet lunch deals, too. Wasabi is a safe bet for a quick and tasty sushi lunch. read more

Wasabi - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

It was a horrible lunch experience today! We come here regularly but today brought along our nieces from out of town for a post holiday lunch. We notice the restaurant is quite busy when we arrived--we're a party of seven (7) adults--and we're kind of expecting some delays. Unfortunately, it's not really a delay at all. It's a major service disaster!!! My cousins and my aunt ordered a spicy crab avocado salad, squid salad, snow cone and spicy tuna salad, and bento boxes for our main course. Actually my other cousin ordered snow cone and squid salad as his main course. We expected a longer wait times but Kollin, although he was nice to us never passed by once to update us about our food. Anyways, about 30 minutes after we finished the complimentary house salad and miso soup, our food arrived, all of the bento boxes arrived but not my cousin's snow cone and squid salad. We never heard a single apology from Kollin about the situation which took the sushi bar about 10-15 minutes more for the missing food and that's only after my other cousin said he's cancelling the spicy tuna salad. When Kollin came back with the rest of the pending orders he asked my cousin once again if he still want to cancel his spicy tuna salad order since he have it in his serving tray already. I just thought he's not that sensitive enough to realize that my cousin who ordered the spicy tuna salad is almost done with his bento box. My aunt on the other hand who ordered the spicy crab avocado salad looked at her dish and thought something strange about it. We called Kollin's attention and asked what kind of salad is it on my aunt's bowl, he said that's the spicy tuna salad and said it was a mistake, took the wrong salad and said he'll get the spicy crab and avocado salad shortly. Another mistake on top of the looooong wait we already suffered from the sushi bar. To reiterate, we never get a single sorry from Kollin, perhaps on behalf of the sushi bar staff at least. We can't help but compare the personable service we notice from the other perky and bubbly lady with a name tag/plate on her shirt. We heard her say sorry for whatever situation the other tables are also experiencing and she even gave a free glass of beer for the couple on the table nearby. She was the same lady who served us before Christmas when me and my other cousin dined for lunch several weekends ago, she was so warm and friendly and pleasantly accommodating. I think her name is Devon, she was wearing a Christmas head gear that weekend. Anyway, We felt terribly bad today for my cousin because we are all starving and almost done with all of our bento boxes when he just received his snow cone and squid salad. When my aunt got the check we made sure the spicy tuna salad is not included, Kollin is lucky since the gratuity is already included on the check. My aunt even added an extra $5 tip because she knows how hard waiting table is. But still just one star is enough for the kind of service we had today. I waited this late in the after to write my review since I want to have my emotions simmer down. I could have been nasty and mean with this review but thank goodness my negative emotions are all gone. This is the most objective review I can give about our horrible sub par customer service experience this afternoon. Also, Kollin at least said thanks and have a nice day to us on our way out. The bottom line is, we are still displeased with the dining experience we just had period!!!!! read more

Wasabi - Sushi bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I'm impressed. They were opened in spite of hurricane Harvey. I only had the Japanese food which I thought was pretty good. The roll was heavy on the rice but the nabeyaki udon was perfect with its soft cooked egg. I can't quiet out my finger on it but it has a slight American twist to it. I asked for some togagrashi spices Bc I can't live without it. I also had the unagi roll. Again, heavy on the rice, wish there was more eel than rice to balance out the flavor better. We also had the stuffed jalapeño aka jalapeño bomb. Stuffed jalapeño with imitation crab and sour cream and something else I couldn't figure out. I would say overall food wasn't bad. Our waiter was helpful and when he didn't know the answer had the chef answer our questions. read more

I felt the need to update my review. Three years ago I gave this place 5 stars and I certainly still stand by it! I have tried a couple different places over the years but this is by far still my favorite sushi joint in town! Always greeted with a warm welcome and I love that it doesn't ever have a funky smell (yeah I have dealt with that at some places). Complimentary miso soup and salad is always nice and staff can usually recommend something delicious when I bring in new people. I have a favorite roll and I hardly ever order anything else. The Veronica Roll... its off the menu but if you remember this review... ASK ABOUT IT! A manager made it up a few years ago and it is just soo freaking good! I have tried a few of the other rolls and I have never been disappointed. Everything always tastes so fresh and the proportions are great. It is on the pricey side but soooooo worth it! Edamame is my go-to appetizer and if I have the room I will definitely order fried ice cream for dessert but I am always good with mochi as well! I am uploading photos from our previous visit. This place still gets 5 stars but I was a bit discouraged that towards the end of our meal we realized they had new appetizers and desserts... they were typed up and taped to the BACK of the menu... our server did not mention them to us at all and we definitely would have order some of these items... but hey atleast we know for next time! If its date night, I like sitting in the wooden booths.. super cozy and romantic with dim lighting but I also like sitting at the tables by the front windows. A lot of natural light. I just love everything about this place! read more

Food was good, but the slow service kills the experience. First indication of bad service was that it took ten minutes before waitress came to our table. Water? Another ten minutes, no straws. Asked for straws. Ten minute wait, no straws. Asked again. Waited ten minutes after that to get them. When they brought our plates and the soy sauce bowls, the server spilt the soy sauce all over the table. I had to ask for her to clean it up. It took 45 minutes to get our order of five sushi rolls. They were delicious. I have no idea what she was thinking, but my wife ordered three more sushi rolls when we finished the first set. It took another 45 minutes to get rolls (simple California rolls, not the other complex rolls like the Rainbow roll). read more

This place is a must try. I was staying at the westin and walked to this place. Food is great, taste fresh and melt in your mouth. Im from Cali and I'll give this 5 stars.. give it a try.. read more

Wasabi - Golden Cali roll and another roll with salmon - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I dropped by during happy hour for an early dinner. The spicy tuna roll I had with eel sauce, avocado and tempura crunchies was pretty meh. Spicy but not very interesting. The chicken katsu was huge but bland. Neither the fried chicken nor the dipping sauce left any impression. I left without finishing 2/3 of the katsu. Good service but not a lot of authentic Japanese influence here. (They also serve Chinese food) If you are ok with that, then it's not the worst place to eat! read more

If you're craving for some affordable Japanese bento boxes this place never disappoints. I always order the salmon teriyaki with just the right amount of sides and portions. If you're craving some crawfish . I would recommend the snow cone rolls. Their spicy crab avocado salad is also amazing. I would make the trip to go here. read more

If I'm meeting up with friends during HH near the med center, you'll usually find me and my friends here. You cannot beat the $4 sushi rolls and sake drinks. A medium size bottle for sake is about $6 and can easily be shared between two people. Maybe not three. My favorite rolls are yellowtail and spicy salmon roll here. One downside is that you cannot take any of these rolls to go, but they will allow you to take your leftovers home ... so order more ;) Overall, love this place for the price and great service! read more

My colleague insisted that he bring me for lunch.. he says they have the most delicious sesame chicken. I must add that he generally doesn't like sesame chicken. Anywho.. We came in for lunch around 1115ish. Not too many people there. We were seated right away which was nice. Waitress came by took our order and I think we waited maybe 10 minutes for our food. I did have the sesame chicken lunch special and it was pretty good. Unfortunately, I was so hungry that I ate pretty quickly even though it was hot when brought over. Waitress was very nice and attentive. However, there was nothing about it that stood out in my mind as unique to the palate. I would go back and try their sushi rolls and other items in hopes of finding something that is absolutely delicious. After all, they do claim to be a sake pub. read more

I really love & enjoy eating here.... Service is amazing and the ambiance is great. The happy hour menu is good, I recommend the sesame chicken appetizer.

But I took a pic of the dessert , fried icecream also a must try! read more

I ordered food togo. The front staff was friendly and courteous. I'm not from the area so rely on yelp reviews. The food wasn't very good. Lots of review so I decided to give it a try. Food was not well prepared, Tonkatsu was terrible. Was not crispy and flavor was bad. Chicken Teriyaki was more chicken with mix veggies. The fried shrimp/squid was crunchy but I thought I only ordered fried squid. read more

The BEST sushi in San Antonio! We love this place, we come here at least weekly.

We highly recommend this place!!! read more

Overall a good experience. I will say the staff wasn't super attentive but I also did go in the last hour of business which would be my fault but I do wish the waitress had checked on me more throughout my visit. I ordered the Texas roll and it was outstanding! On the side I got an avocado roll. The waitress was nice and offered me Sakè which I had never tried but she recommended a fantastic option for me. All in all it was a good experience I just need to go back earlier to see if the staff is more attentive. read more

Wasabi - SAC (salmon avocado cream cheese) roll, California roll, Sunset Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I have been going to this location for two years religiously for happy hour. That being said, - Never go on a Sunday if you're a sushi lover. The fresh fish is old and gross - always buy a large sake during happy hour bc a medium goes quickly - wear a mask in the bathroom. I don't understand how after two years, the bathroom still smells like a morgue that lost power for 24 hours. It's awful every single time Usually, our ticket is around $70. Two piece of salmon, tuna, yellow tail and escolar. Sunset roll. One large sake and one medium sake & four beers. All in all, love this place and will always come back. read more

I used to love to come here every month to treat myself and spend on average $25-45. I went this time and got the tiger eye roll which I've had before and the sushi was mainly rice. I was very disappointed. And usually the sushi is wrapped with salmon, I mean hell, there's a picture in the menu. I pointed it out to the sushi chef and the waitress and they made me pay for the make shift rice balls that were overloaded with sauce. They could've just made me something else or refunded my money. They were very rude about it too and talked about me in Korean. Lol Next time I'll just give my business to yellowfish sushi. Better quality and no hassles. read more

We dined in, happy to find very secluded booths and attentive staff to help us enjoy our evening out. We shared a bottle of warm saki, several rolls, and we enjoyed every bite. The menu offers a variety of different sushi options, both warm rolls and traditional sashimi, and the ginger dressing on the salad will leave you craving more. We are new to SATX and thought we might have lost the chance to enjoy fresh, creative sushi, but Wasabi has it firmly covered. It's now our go-to sushi spot! read more

I love value sushi... this place is great for that but there is an issue that has been going on for years now... I hate to mention this but their bathroom situation is terrible. While it appears clean enough, there is a sewage smell that is so bad and you can also smell it inside the dining room. The restroom has been redone a few times over the last few years and it makes me think that there is a sewage backup issue. If we notice it when we walk in, we order food to go and eat in the parking lot... this would be our favorite sushi spot but we often avoid because of the sewage smell. Just a bummer. read more

Wasabi has been a favorite of mine for years. Great place for interesting sushi rolls, solid service , and a pretty good ambiance. It is an especially good value for the cost. My only critiques are that they took their "whatever roll" (chefs choice roll) and their sake flight off the menu. These were both super fun! Also it is worth noting that they have a pretty good happy hour every day from 4-7 so it is a great after work spot near the medical center. read more

Ordered 9 rolls and an appetizer and over an hour later went to pick them up. 4 of the rolls never got made, was told to wait and waited another 30min for them. The wrong rolls were made from my order after that. Barely anyone inside. I don't know how this place gets good reviews. Sushi was lukewarm by the time I ate what I ordered and mushy from the ones being ready so long. Also nothing was labeled so we had to figure out what the hell each specialty roll was. read more

This is my husband's and my go-to spot for sushi. The quality of the fish is much better than many other sushi restaurants in town and happy hour makes everyone happy. My husband got a salmon roll for $4 and raved so much about how the quality of the fish was great and how they gave him a huge portion of the salmon within the roll. You can't go wrong here. The Chef's special roll makes things more time exciting because you don't know what it'll be, but it's always good. read more

Our server, David, was very good. He was attentive and cheerful. Chirashi bowl was good.

Wasabi is a new favorite for Sushi at the bar. We recently located our favorite sushi chef again, Yoon. He relocated to a different restaurant located on IH10 near Wurzbach Rd. Great place for Lunch and Dinner. We have only been for dinners as it is a treat. We sat and were served both Miso soup and a complimentary salad. Both delicious! We have tried almost all the sushi rolls prepared by Yoon. Our favorites are the Spurs roll, spicy tuna, and any specialty roll created by the chef. Prices are great and the food is spectacular! If you are looking for something very special ask Yoon for the "Love" glass. It has a little bit of everything but is better kept all to yourself. Warm Saki or Itchi Ban beer will top it all off! Check out their lunch specials and bento boxes. I recommend their fried ice cream dessert. We can be found here two to three times a month. Recommended! read more

ROACHES. I've eaten here multiple times without issue. Service, food, and prices are great. HOWEVER, tonight when we went with a party of 4, a German cockroach ran off the serving tray containing our sushi rolls the waitress brought out. We immediately stood up and the waitress got the manager. The manager came over and asked if we were okay. We said no, and that we lost our appetite. She said she would move our tables, and that she is sorry because they just treated the outside of the building for roaches and that now they are coming inside. No, no that is not how that works. German cockroaches are food/kitchen infestations, not outside wild roaches. Also, we treat our home for insects and THEY DON'T RUN INSIDE WHEN WE TREAT OUTSIDE. American and Brown cockroaches are NOT the same as German. She then rushed us out saying okay thank you bye bye!!! Yeah because you didn't want guests to hear about roaches being served with food. I won't be back. It's one thing to not be clean. It's another thing to acknowledge you have roaches and make excuses about them. Edit 12/28/19: They sent me a message to *resolve* this issue. No thanks. read more

Two basic, but important words... yummy sushi! Came here for the first time and wondered why in all my years now was just the first time. On a Tuesday night it was fairly steady and they had a happy hour drink and menu. Their miso soup first off was just right, not too salty and not too bland. Already a great start for my tastebuds. I ordered rice with shrimp sushi and it was so good, that I had to refrain from getting a third order of it (yes, I ordered it twice). Their seaweed salad was exactly what I was craving and could not get enough of it. The waitress was attendant and explained the menu well for a first timer such as I. The menu was vast but my wallet was not, and so I had to stop ordering food at one point. This further convinced me to definitely come back again. Everything was satisfactory in my visit here, and my only regret was that I did not find this place sooner. read more

This is my go-to sushi joint when I'm near medical center. Seems like I can always count on a friendly laid-back vibe. Very casual for sure. The chefs aren't super young, but have a lot of energy. They'll shout hello, whip up your rolls real quick, and love to talk to whoever is sitting at their bar. Seems like there's a different plate for every roll and if your a true sushi aficionado, I've seen the little slabs of fish decorating some sensational platters of wild shapes and sizes. There are multiple levels, nooks, corners, and of course an elevated bar in the heart of the restaurant. Dark wood throughout. I like to start with some seaweed salad, whatever roll I order is always solid. I've yet to run into a night that was too busy. So I'm writing this to get the word out: Wasabi is a reliable sushi experience. read more
