    Sadly to say wassabi was not on fire on our table. The guy cooking which doesn't deserve the word chef to be next to his name No Music No interaction No fire show I've gotten better service from. Street vendors on the worst areas of fresno played 1 spanish song while cleaning the grill wow which must be music of his own taste talked to mangment they seemed to be in disbelief which I find very unlikely do to not doing anything about our horrible service or offer anything.

    Mango mochi
    Chinyere E.

    I came here to celebrate my dad's birthday, and the experience was really nice. The staff was so kind--they even brought out mango mochi for him, which really made his day. When you walk in, they're quick to seat you. We went around lunchtime when it's usually busy, but we were seated and got our food within about 30 minutes. I ordered a lavender mocktail, but it wasn't my favorite. The lavender flavor was a bit too strong and overpowered everything. I was expecting something more subtle. I ended up switching to a Shirley Temple, which I enjoyed much more. The staff was very accommodating and welcoming, and the overall vibe and aesthetic of the place is really cute. We usually go for the teppanyaki experience (Wasabi on Fire style where they cook in front of you), but this time we just wanted something quick and simple. We ordered a side of fried rice, and it was amazing--I would get it every time. I also tried a deep-fried roll with scallops on top. I wanted to try something new, but it wasn't really for me. The combination of the deep-fried roll and cream cheese was a bit too heavy, although the scallops were actually really good. Overall, I'd give the roll a 7/10. I probably wouldn't order it again, but I'm glad I tried it. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back

    Yummy Udon
    Kimberly C.

    Here to celebrate my birthday with 4 of my besties. Arrived at 4:30pm on a Thursday and we were seated right away. Our drink orders were taken and then our server returned to take our dinner order. 2 of us ordered Udon. There is only choice for Udon. It comes hot, temperature hot, not spicy and delicious. The vegetables are assembled separately and come with two sauces. All are delicious. One friend ordered chicken teriyaki and the portion was so big she had lots to take home for lunch the next day. The two other friends ordered rolls which they enjoyed! After dinner our server brought us containers for the leftovers. Since it was my birthday, our server brought me a cup of vanilla ice cream with chocolate fudge sauce and a candle. She and another server sang me happy birthday. That was nice.

    Wassabi bowl with bulgogi
    Annika G.

    Had Wassabi on Fire a couple times now, but recently had it for lunch, and it was pretty good. I ordered one of their lunch specials, a wassabi bulgogi bowl. It was good, but to be honest, the portion of meat could've been bigger considering I felt like I was filled up on rice. Or perhaps more veggies? Either way, I would've preferred less rice and more of something else. As for the restaurant itself, it was not busy today, so it was nice and chill. I think some people over by the teppanyaki tables were indulging in some music or something--that was a bit loud. I've had the sushi before though, and overall the food itself and the service is good. I would come back.

    I had a really good experience at Wasabi on Fire. The servers were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. Food came out in a timely manner, and they were friendly throughout the whole visit. The sushi tasted great nicely prepared, and presented well. The restaurant itself was also very clean and well kept, which always makes a big difference. Definitely a place I would come back to for good sushi

    Rice with spicy teriyaki
    Solar C.

    We came to Wasabi on Fire for Valentine's Day with our two kids and had a great experience. Our reservation was at 12:30, and everything was smooth and welcoming from the start. It's rare that we get to go out and enjoy a meal together as a family, so this meant a lot to us. The food was amazing and full of flavor, and the service was just as good. Our server Sunny was incredible friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. This is officially our new favorite Teppanyaki spot. We'll definitely be coming back!

    Nice place to celebrate a Birthday!
    Sarah C.

    Though my friends got sushi and enjoyed it, I ordered chicken teriyaki. There was plenty of meat and a large amount of rice, with sautéed vegetables. The chicken was a bit on the dry side and the veges were limp. The rice was perfect. The service was good, when we ordered and got our food. After eating, the plates were left on the table, even though we stacked them and moved them to the side, so we could have a birthday treat for my friends. The restaurant was filled on a Thursday night! Good ambiance with lighting and decor.

    "Booty on fire", "the climax", and "smells like my ex" are just of a few of the unique names you'll find on the menu. Oddly enough, my father-in-law, who joined us, said the, "smells like my ex" is his favorite menu item here"... yikes! Even though the name is not appetizing, this did look very good. It's a tower of real crab, spicy tuna, tobiko, green onion, mango, avocado & seared salmon. I didn't try this, but my father-in-law swears by it. I ordered the Max roll; shrimp tempura and avocado wrapped in salmon. Then topped with spicy mayo, sriracha, unagi sauce, and tobiko. This roll was very good and I quickly inhaled it! The raw salmon on top was extremely fresh and paired with a spicy mayo and crunchy shrimp tempura; It had all the textures you want in one bite. We also ordered some edamame and fried calamari for the table. The service was on point and our server, Lisa?, was very attentive and checked on us multiple times to make sure we liked our food or needed our drinks refreshed. Which we greatly appreciated, especially because it was so busy on a Wednesday night. Just based off their menu, they have great happy hour options with tons of food and drink deals. If I lived close by this might be a date night regular spot for my wife and I. To all the sushi snobs out there reading this, trust me I know, this is not a "traditional" sushi place, but if you're looking for a fun time and some tasty food, Wasabi On Fire is the spot!

    This place is always packed. I always find the hostesses helpful and the waiter/waitress attentive. Food quality is good. A lot of cool items on their menu. Teppanyaki is fun. Lunch specials are good. Sushi rolls are good too. My fav appetizer is the tofu.

    Rainbow roll
    Nicole C.

    We enjoyed a delicious family sushi meal here last weekend! We had appetizers and sushi rolls and they were all delicious! The restaurant was hip and clean. The service was decent, the busboys cleared the tables quickly but our server was gone for long periods. They also forgot to make one of our rolls, but made it very quickly once we reminded them. To start, we enjoyed the edamame, seaweed salad, and cucumber salad, which were all fresh and tasty. We then shared multiple different rolls and they were all delicious! We liked one so much we ordered it again, but when it came the second time it was definitely spicier than the first so there was some inconsistency in the roll preparation. Overall a great meal!

    Lunch box with raw tuna, fried rice, and California roll.
    Anay G.

    My husband and I were craving bento lunch boxes. We were also celebrating an accomplishment. We decided to get takeout from Wassabi On Fire. We have had it before and really liked their lunch. We got there the minute they opened. They took my order and about 30 minutes later our lunch was ready. I got the fried rice, raw tuna, and California roll. It came with a salad and miso soup. My husband got the white rice, cooked salmon, and raw tuna. His also came with miso and salad. Sadly the salad didn't have very much dressing. The fried rice had a lot of black pepper but was pretty good. The tuna was fresh and the California roll was tasty. My husband said he enjoyed his food too. However, it was $50 for both meals. It was pretty pricy for not much protein. If we crave them again we may come back as not very many Japanese spots make these in a bit of a healthier way. But I think we rather eat sushi.

    Is there an age for small children?

    I've seen kids of all ages there. Me and my family used to go all the time with 2-3 year olds. Never had an issue

    Do they offer gluten free options?

    There are a lot of items on the menu that do not include gluten, so you can definitely ask! I know some of the sauces may include gluten so best to ask or do research based on the menu!

One word of advice: if you're planning to join the waitlist, I recommend calling ahead for a more accurate wait time. The website initially showed no one ahead of us, but after joining the waitlist it indicated several parties were waiting. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 45 minutes, which wasn't ideal with a couple of hungry kids. Thankfully, we were seated within about 10 minutes. Our server, Patrick, was fantastic! He provided excellent customer service, took the time to explain the sushi rolls, helped us navigate the kids' menu, and was attentive throughout our meal. Patrick, thank you for helping make my mom's birthday dinner so memorable. Khasey was our chef, and the food was absolutely delicious. He made sure we had every sauce we asked for. The teppanyaki experience for the children was engaging and fun. To top it off, the staff brought out a cute birthday dessert and sang a birthday tune for my mom, which made the celebration even more special. The location is another huge plus. It's situated in a great area near Fresno State with plenty to do before or after dinner, including ice cream shops, boba spots, VR gaming, and movie theaters. Overall, we had a great experience and can't wait to come back!

At first we thought maybe the server heard wrong, but since the server wasn't around at all we walked it over to the bar ourselves and asked the bartender to remake it since the bar was completely empty (I mean not one soul) at 7:45 on a Saturday night. The second drink the bartender gave us was a vodka sprite. Maybe we should have specified soda means seltzer. Dinner bill for 3 adults and 2 kids was $250 plus tips. The food was decent but the service was underwhelming and subpar for spending that type of cash. Especially since the server seemed like anything we asked her was asking her to go out of her way. For example, we had to ask for straws, chopsticks, refills on water etc.

    A lot comes to mind when you hear the name Fresno. Raisins, Agriculture, Bridge to nowhere, but…read moreSushi is not one of them. So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

I was immediate greeted by the two Sushi chefs behind the counter as I walked in. Not long after, the host greeted me and handed me a menu for me to select my order to go. I considered a poke bowl, however, their sauces were pretty standard. So instead I opted for their seaweed salad that came with a number of protein including tuna, edamame, shrimp, avocado, and masago. It was $19, so it wasn't necessarily inexpensive, however I figured a poke bowl with a couple proteins would run me right about there as well. The sushi chef got right away to work preparing my meal and I was in and out within 5 minutes. When I got home, I opened up my box and was a little underwhelmed with the presentation. The protein is cut up into small pieces and mixed in with the seaweed salad. In addition it is not pure seaweed as it is also mixed in with a bunch of other greens such as sprouts. So while the presentation was not what I was expecting, I was pleasantly surprised that I really enjoyed the flavors and textures. I will definitely order this again.
