Wasabi Sushi - Fried Ice Cream - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Very good, quick, clean, and fish is fresh. The soba noodles were just ramen tho so I wouldn't get that again, but sushi is good. This is going to be my go to place read more

Neighborhood staple. Great service to accompany a delicious selection of cuisine. I have been frequenting this spot for several years and have yet to be disappointed. Whether I'm by myself, with family or friends, it's always a satisfying experience. Aces!! read more

I'm a regular in this neighborhood eat!! Never disappoints. Love everything here. Freshest sushi and great bento box

Come here for slightly more expensive but higher quality sushi! The quality of the fish here is excellent and the atmosphere is casual but comfortable. Wasabi's fish quality and presentation is on a much higher level that the nearby competitors. I tried the love boat and was very pleased. I would lean toward the raw options more than the cooked options. The slices of fish are healthy sized but not clunky. Its rough out here on 86th street because there are so many sushi options. Additionally, this is right next to the, arguably, most popular one. That being said though, if you hate the line and don't mind paying a little extra for a better experience, come here. The spot for everything from casual dates to family meals. read more

They have great sushi and sashimi. And they have my favorite ice cream. The environment and service are very good. I will definitely come back read more

The seating service was quick. The ambiance of the restaurant is casual with dim lighting. It's not very roomy and the seating is usually best if it's in groups of 4 or below. The sushi quality is alright. There weren't a lot of sushi choices. The baked oysters here are good. The noodles they have are pretty good too. The have flavor and is well seasoned. I came with my family and we took 7 seats. They had to move other individual tables to make a big table for us which was very good customer service. However, every time a staff walks by with plates of food, my family and I are always worried they will spill, drop, or touch our belongings accidentally, ultimately dirtying it. It was very tight spaced. The aisle in which the staff walks down is kinda narrow too. The food service was a little slow. The food took a while to come. read more

Not the best sushi place in the area, but they do have some delicious cakes. I may be biased because I already have a favorite sushi place in the area, but people have agreed with me that Wasabi is good, but not really anything special. As usual, I ordered my sushi and an Alaskan roll. The Alaskan rolls are different here from what I'm used to because it only has salmon and avocado (isn't that a salmon avocado roll?). It wasn't anything too memorable, but it wasn't bad at all. The salmon sushi pieces were not bad as well. But unlike some other sushi I've tried, it doesn't melt in your mouth and you had to put some effort in chewing, which I wasn't a big fan of. The good thing was that the fish to rice ratio was like 2 to 1, so you didn't just have a mouthful of rice. I also white tuna sushi. Surprisingly, I liked the white tuna more because it tasted so fresh. I'd order this again if I came here. I did really enjoy the dessert though. They have about 7 or 8 items on their dessert menu (which is a lot more than their competitors) and they serve some delicious cakes. I got to try both the green tea crepe cake and the chocolate forest (?) cake and they were both really good. Like some other yelpers say, the green tea crepe cake was very comparable to Lady M. Every time I talk about cakes like this, I crave another slice! I'd DEFINITELY be back for that cake, but probably not for the sushi. I hope they don't mind if I come here just for some dessert... The prices at Wasabi are higher than the surrounding areas. They come in orders of two so you can't order one piece of each fish from the a la carte menu. Even though it comes in two, it still comes out a bit pricey. They do have the AYCE menu which I think is more popular for this place, but I didn't try that. The prices for the weekend are also higher, so be prepared if you go on a Friday or weekend, because its like a $5 difference. Service on the other hand was just so-so. I speak Cantonese so I heard a bunch of waitresses just chatting away with either customers or their co-workers. I'm fine with people chatting, but I do need some kind of attention for my tea, menu, and dessert requests. They were a little slow, but their attitudes were positive and I didn't mind them that much. Overall, I like Wasabi. It looks pretty nice inside and I didn't have a bad experience. But the cake though, that's a game changer. read more

I absolutely love the food it really captures the taste and it would be best for a birthday or a friends only night. Its not a good place for tourist but i know you'll absolutely love the food if you went here. Its not that pricy for what you get but i would recommend you get the 50$ boat value for sushi. read more

Wasabi Sushi - Sushi deluxe - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

the OG bensonhurst sushi spot. place has been here for mad long and they never missssss. their hand rolls are portioned out so that even the last bite of the tip you still get a little bit of everything. thats love right there read more

I've frequented this business for many years and it honestly feels more like a small home business than it does a big restaurant. There is a deficit in staff but they manage (it's a matter of whether you're really hungry or not, as well as how crowded it is). The food is definitely higher quality compared to those I've seen around the area and the prices are decent (they're a bit more on the affordable scale of sushi, but expect the prices to rise with inflation as such). The manager(?)/waitress is attentive (as much as possible). Portions are also a bit inconsistent, with it sometimes being more and sometimes being less. read more

Decent local fare. Don't run here, but you can take a stroll.

SALMON AND UNI HERE IS GOOD. There isn't a lot of sushi places around this neighborhood that's good/fresh. But this place knows how to do it. I always order from here. read more

Been going here since I was a child. I actually started coming a bit more for their baked oysters!! It's so good. I got my boyfriend hooked on it too. Besides that the sushi is okay. I came here for their salmon teriyaki bento box. I switched the california roll for eel avocado. I think it's worth it because it comes with a soup, a cali roll, shrimp + two veggie tempura, and 3 pieces of shumai or gyoza. The salmon was a bit dry. I totally recommend coming here for the baked oysters though! read more

Food was fresh, prices were decent and service was good. What else could I asked for?

Great quality in sushi, but their AYCE isn't really worth it. $25pp (which is $8 more than their counterpart Sake just a few doors down), but they don't give you any options for appetizers. It is literally only sushi and rolls. Also, they don't offer any specialty rolls on the AYCE menu, it is very plain Jane. Even my regularly beloved dragon rolls were off limits on the AYCE menu. Decor is sweet and simple, very chill environment. They were packed when we arrived at 8:30pm, but many people had left by the time we were seated at 9:00pm. Service is mostly friendly once they seat you, but they can be a bit rough at the door. read more

Walking into Wasabi is no different than walking into any other Japanese restaurant. I mean, there is a fish tank to your left as you walk in and the sushi chefs on the right. (There are always at least two of them there.) The only visible difference is the service staff. They're always smiling and always eager to serve their customers. (In other places, the wait staff looks bored and/or tired but almost always bewildered by the amount of food that the average American consumes.) During the lunch hours, unless you specify otherwise, the waiter/waitress hands you their special lunch menu. On this menu, rolls are listed for $2.50/each and sushi & sashimi cost $1/pc. (Of course, the selection is limited.) A bento lunch box is $10 and comes with miso soup, kani salad, 1 California roll, 3 pieces gyoza or 3 pieces shumai, and white rice, with whatever entree you order. I always opt for the salmon teriyaki. (Which is delectable -- always cooked well -- and comes with broccoli and carrots.) However, they also have other teriyakis and some tempuras. For dessert, I always order fried red bean ice cream. It comes cut into 6 pieces/slices, with whipped cream on top, on a chilled plate. It's simple yet so amazingly good. My boyfriend and I always leave with full bellies and happy wallets, as lunch usually costs $25 for us both (+ tip).

The place is great very excellent sushi love them they are very sweet and nice. Very clean and the food is awesome

This is my go-to sushi spot for lunch. I LOVE their lunch menu. From noon to 4:30pm every day, they offer $2.50 rolls and $1.00 sushi. Their ingredients are perhaps the freshest around the neighborhood. They also have the best bento boxes. I like them for the fact that they're only $10 and instead of the usual yucky green salad, they give you kani salad. If you can't make it to lunch, their menu is somewhat pricey (compared to the bunch of Japanese restaurants around it) but for the quality of food and their extraordinary menu, I would pay the extra money. Appetizers, the iitako (cold baby octopus), baked oysters, and hamachi kama are my favorites. Sushi, of the few special rolls that I tried, my favorite is the Phoenix Roll. The mango really gives the sushi a fresh kick. Kitchen food, they have the most tender udon. Teriyaki's aren't bad either. DESSERTS! This is where the magic comes in. The selection that they offer is none that you can find in the area. The Green Tea Crepe Cake and Green Forest are DELICIOUS! Pretty sure they're imported but that's none of my concern as long as they taste good. However, the fried ice cream, they might've made themselves... Instead of the typical ball, they give you 6 smaller pieces... which I actually like better. Makes it less messy and more sharing-friendly. read more

I come here a lot with my parents. The sashimi is fresh and the service is great! The big sweet shrimp is really good and they have green tea layered crepe cake there thats really good. read more

Their spicy ika is on point!!! However, I remember when they had AYCE once upon a time...and they need to bring that back!

I love Lady M's mille crepe cakes, and Wasabi allows me to fulfill my cravings without having to make a trip into the city. I've been here several times to get the cakes to go, and while waiting at the sushi bar I noticed some seriously delicious looking sushi being made and served. Their prices seemed really fair as well when I glanced over the menu, so I made a note to try their sushi one of these days. Having already memorized half the menu from my previous visits here, I ordered right away - the sashimi special. The selection was pretty standard: tuna, salmon, yellowtail, surf clam, white tuna and octopus. Naturally, I ended the meal with a slice of green tea mille crepe from Lady M. While nothing was particularly outstanding, Wasabi is a reliable spot for decent and affordably priced sushi. I give them 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4 for the awesome cake! read more

I wouldn't say this is the best sushi place I've been to (the best one I've been to is Wasabi in Buffalo, NY) but it's not bad. I think I have to revisit this place b/c the rolls I picked were just ok. I got the bagel roll which had eel, avocado and cream cheese in it and is fried. This really tasted like a bagel to me, which I found to be amazing for that mere fact. I also got the phoneix roll which had chicken tempura and a slice of mango on top. This was alright, didn't have much flavor to me. These 2 rolls were chef specials, so that's why I was a bit disappointed that they were just ok. The snow crab legs were very fresh though and tastes so yum in butter. The staff was very friendly and attentive, decor is nice and pricing is fair. read more

Wasabi Sushi is my (and my parent's) favorite sushi restaurant to go to that's closest to my home. The quality of the fish is always consistently fresh. Whenever we come here, we order the "Love Boat" which feeds the five of us just the right amount. They also offer an AYCE option for $20.. a great deal if you can eat your monies worth! The servers have been there for what seems like forever and there's a reason why - they're super attentive and hard working. Great clean space with lots of booths! read more

Best oysters in Brooklyn, very good sushi spot. Generous with the fish, good value. Same people working there for years, recognize me even though I come once every few months tops read more

Friendly local proprietor, always with a smile on his face and his son usually not far from the sushi bar. An admirer of his celeb pics on the walls; apparently he's Steiner Studios local lunch caterer. Simply of for the fact that's it's one of the two local spots I eat at regularly, I have to give it a thumbs up, albeit for the rose napkin. Taste: ** Price:* Atmosphere:* Wasabi- Ginger- Rose Napkin-Yes read more

The sushi is more expensive here compared to other sushi places around the area but there's one thing I'll come here for, the green tea crepe dessert. A friend recommended it to me and it's worth every $7 I payed. The crepe dessert here reminds me of the one at Lady M Cake Boutique. So my final verdict of this place? The sushi I'll pass but the green tea cake dessert is what makes this place a solid 3 stars. read more

I have been going here for many years. The sushi is always fresh and great tasting. The gyoza is always cooked to perfection. Just the right amount of crispiness. The staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is very pleasant and aesthetically pleasing. I highly recommend this place. read more

Fresh fish, ripe avocados= good sushi Great service, moderate prices. What more could you want? read more

This sushi place is nasty! The first time I ate here was a few years ago and the sushi took forever to come and the food didn't even taste fresh. I ended up not eating it. Now I tried it again like three or four months ago and I got eel cucumber roll, Alaskan roll and some sushi pieces. The food tasted horrible and didn't look so good. I took one tiny taste and couldn't do it. I will never come back here ever!!! Also they are way over priced! read more

While you may find cheaper sushi in the area, I trust in the quality at Wasabi. They're a bit less expensive than Chikurin and the quality is slightly less than Chikurin but totally acceptable when you're in the mood for affordable sushi and don't want to leave your house. I've dined in a few times before and the last time there was a definite fishy odor but that had no impact on the quality of sushi we were served. I love the green tea crepe dessert. read more

If you're familiar with Brooklyn, there are a host of sushi restaurants along 86th street in Bensonhurst. This one is probably the one closest to my house and it's pretty darn good. I came here on a Friday night around 8PM and there was about a 20 minute wait. The price is comparable to the sushi places around it .. about $5 for a regular roll and about $10 for one of the more fancy rolls. Everything was made to perfection with the utmost precision. My parents don't like eating raw fish and there were a host of rolls to choose from for them as well. One of my favorite dishes on their menu is of course the fried ice cream!! It comes with a generous portion size and they're already cut up into pieces for easy sharing. This is definitely a local gem and I hope it stays in the neighborhood for years to come. read more

Wasabi Sushi is a local Sushi restaurant is own and run by Chinese people, much like much of the local sushi joint. The design is simple but clean. The menu is similar to other sushi restaurant with minimal differences (price and selection wise). The freshness of the raw and quality of cooked food is average. They have a decent selection beverage: sodas, beer, sake, etc. Depending on the night, due to the "All you can eat", the place can be busy and waiting time can be as long as 40mins. I have been coming to this restaurant since mid 2008; although the food was only average, the service and honesty of the staff is wonderful. They are very friendly and honest when asked if a certain dish is worth eating; or simply if you are unsure unsure if the fish is fresh. This is the reason why I keep coming back time after time. As a local Sushi Restaurant, Wasabi Sushi is pretty good. read more

Wasabi Sushi - Lunch- shrimp teriyaki - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is ridiculous. Over an hour later, my order had not arrived and when I called, they had not entered the order, did not apologize nor offer a discount but said they would deliver it at lunch time the next day. The order did not arrive the next day and when Seamless called them, they refused to offer any kind of discount or apologize. Reading other reviews, I realize this is not an uncommon experience. AVOID THIS PLACE. Much better service AND sushi to be had elsewhere. read more

There were two things I had at Wasabi Sushi that should've warranted four stars - the baked oysters and the Dynamite. In an otherwise dim looking sushi restaurant on a block that has too many sushi restaurants, there's hope. If Wasabi Sushi continues pushing out delicious spins on seafood like the two previously mentioned dishes - there's no doubt that Wasabi Sushi can beat all of it's competitors. The baked oysters came topped with caviar, and Japanese mayonnaise. Not the most appetizing sounding dish when you think of oysters and mayonnaise but I was seriously blown away by how GOOD these were! They were hot and fresh out of the oven but that didn't stop me from burning my tongue twice just to suck these babies down as fast as I could! The dynamite is an appetizer dish that sorta tastes like the baked oysters do. (They have the same idea, caviar and Japanese mayo) Baked into a small foil dish, it's scallops and mushrooms with caviar and Japanese mayo. Another delicious creation! I've never had Dynamite before but it was heavenly! However, the service here is really spotty. Sometimes it feels like the servers are overwhelmed and can't handle too many tables at once. That being said, you can get ignored really easily. Also, the servers are really pushy and try to upsell at every turn. The sushi here is nothing really special and actually a bit pricier than their competitors next door. If it weren't for these aspects of Wasabi Sushi they could really do well. So my final verdict after all things considered; three stars. read more

Some of the items are outrageously priced!!!!! Beware! A COMPLETE ripoff! What's normally a $2.50 item is $7.50 there!!!!! Wow!!!!!! Not all items are so pricey, but beware of the prices before you order!!! read more

I walked in for lunch. I'm very big on customer service. As soon as I walked in nobody was at the door to greet me. I would understand if it were busy. Or maybe the cooks in the front could greet you if nobody's at the front to say hi. The waitress was extremely friendly though when she seated me. She has a nice smile. The food came out quickly. I ordered the lunch box special with teriyaki chicken. I just feel like the food wasn't as fresh. The carrots were extremely huge and cut in an odd shape. It was hard to grab with the chopsticks ( yes I have skills in using them). The ambience of the restaurant has dim lighting, and it makes you feel relax. I wish I could give them a higher rating, but my lunch was just ok. read more
