Review Wasabi - Jacksonville

Ordered some sushi for pick up and it was good. The wait time also wasn’t long, didn’t even take 20min. The prices are also not bad. I would only expect the “spicy” labeled sushi rolls to be actually spicy. Overall, I would for sure recommend giving this place a try. I’ll visit them again, but in person.

Highly recommended! First time visiting, I was missing Japanese food, and this place is the closest thing I’ve found to what I used to eat in Japan. Everything was absolutely delicious! Their bento boxes are *chef’s kiss* and my husband loved their earthquake roll. I will be very happy to come back again! 10/10 ♥️

A wonderful little place. Great vibe and fun sushi chefs. It's small but inviting and the food is freaking awesome. I have never seen such an enormous variety of specialty rolls on a sushi menu. I recommend the Jacksonville roll and pork Katsu don.

My Husband and I ordered take out from here for the first time tonight! Absolutely delicious, so fresh! As I walked in to pick up our order, I can’t express how warm the welcome was from several staff members! We look forward to dining in and definitely will be our Go to restaurant for sushi! We look forward to trying many items on your menu! Today 7/9/23 My husband and I celebrated our anniversary dinner here, eating in! Fantastic experience once again, from the greeting, to the service, the food absolutely amazing so fresh, the white peach saki was delicious! Love this place and highly recommend to everyone!

The food is really good and we just spent 30-50 per person because we got a LOT of food! We have leftovers for our next meal 😂😍 The staff was very nice! The waitress who was helping us was amazing! Super nice, polite and asking if we were ok or needing something else. (I know it should be normal, but in a lot of restaurants we don’t see this anymore). My husband and I will definitely go back! Everything FRESH! I supper recommend 🤤

We took our granddaughter for the first time. It was very busy but we had great food, with enough left overs for a second meal. We also met some really nice people who we loved talking to. My favorite is the white fox roll! And even though it is a bit expensive, its worth it. My favorite resteraunt.

Update: We still go to this place once every few months and they always have excellent service! They always make us sit pretty quick which I appreciate! This is one of the places where me and husband go to during date night! My husband recently had their sizzling teriyaki chicken. I highly recommend it, it is sizzling when they serve it and it was still warm while hubby is eating it! I was finally able to try this place to see what it’s all about since it has such a high rating, and I can see why. They definitely deserve the ratings, I’d say it’s one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve ever been to here in Jacksonville. Let me start of with the environment, very clean and cozy. It’s not really a big restaurant but it’s a perfect place for date and eating with your friends. Like any other Japanese restaurants, it is a bit pricey but it’s WORTH IT! We didn’t really have a wait time when we came in, however they can be pretty busy. I tried their yellow tail and shrimp nigiri, I don’t know why but the sushi melts into your mouth. The yellow tail had its flavor as well not like buffet nigiri where the taste of the fish is bland. We went here for lunch so we got bento box as well. The bento box was worth it! It’s enough to make your stomach full. It came with California rolls and again the sushi melts into your mouth, I am definitely going back to try their other sushi. We actually came back for dinner and I got the Yaki Udon, it was perfect! Very tasty. My husband got chicken Katsu again and he loved it! There’s something different about their chicken Katsu that I can’t pinpoint but you can definitely tell that it is freshly made. Their sauce for chicken Katsu is great as well, it tasted like a sweet bbq sauce. Can’t wait to try more of their food!

Food: The food was amazing! The red(spicy) curry was perfect . It was my first time ever trying curry. All of the different flavors in the dish was just an explosion to my taste buds. The spice wasn't just an incendiary bomb going off in my mouth burning everything but rather was just a slight kick that added that extra flavor to the dish. The sushi was just great. I had the volcano sushi and when I saw it my eyes fell in love. From how it was dressed to how it tasted was just perfect. The pork dumpling was a nice beginning dish with a great sauce on the side. The calamari had a nice crunch and taste The mochi was nice and sweet. It was gummy and was perfectly topped with sprinkles and whip cream. I also tried Japanese soda for the first time and it was great. The flavor and design of the bottle was astonishing! The variety of dishes I saw left me amazed. They were beautiful and very different from your traditional American dishes. Service: The waiters were super nice. With a smile on their face and kindness in their voice, I was treated as if I was a V.I.P. in a 5 star restaurant. Atmosphere: The place is beautiful. Ad soon as I walked in I noticed a really nice smell in the building. The furniture was high quality and the building was nice and clean. Even the bathrooms looked amazing.

Thats the best japanese food we ever had! We tried the Sushi Pizza as a starter and afterwards the Jacksonville-Rolls and the Camp Lejeune-Rolls. The service was excellent and very friendly. :)

Great restaurant!!! Prices are not ridiculous. All the waitresses were smiling and helpful. Food was served quickly and very delicious!!! For a smaller restaurant I wasn't expecting much but after going I found myself enjoying the food and the atmosphere. Surprisingly they also have a huge if not possibly the largest selection of sushi in the area.

The best sushi place within 150 miles. I’ve been to the best stateside in NYC and this place rivals many. Personable table side chats with the owner just make it even better. Prices are very reasonable and the food is always top notch.

Wow this place has finesse written all over plus I got to meet the owner too. The waitresses serve and go above and beyond and I had 3 of them. Went for lunch then brought my family & friends for an amazing experience. The sushi here is rolled to perfection + the taste.

We had a wonderful time! We visited with our son & his family (2 kids under 6), and were incredibly pleased. We were greeted at the door, our table was ready for us, and our drinks were served quickly. We ordered appetizers of edamame, spicy edamame & calamari. All was cooked perfectly, and served quickly. We had just the perfect amount of time to finish our appetizers before our meals were delivered to the table. Each of us got exactly what we ordered, all served as described on the menu. The staff was welcoming, attentive & friendly. The food was superb, & the kids meals were huge. We defined got our money's worth.

Absolutely fantastic!!! I’d give it 6/5 ⭐️if possible. Sushi was phenomenal and the service was great! Can’t wait to come back with more friends. The Honey Iced Green Tea is delicious, thank you Aileen for an amazing lunch! - Erin and Alex

The food here is always top notch. Large slices of quality, sushi grade fish presented beautifully. The staff is friendly, professional, and remembers your name. Restaurant is clean and inviting. You get what you pay for. The salmon and white tuna here is amazing. Best sushi place in Jacksonville. No contest.

Food was great and the service was good too. Definitely one of the best places to eat in Jacksonville. Drunken and soba noodles with chicken tasted really good.

It can be cramped inside and crowded, but it's busy because it's delicious, fresh, and the staff are quick and polite. My favorite sushi location in Onslow county.

🍵 Great surprise! Tiny but they use their space very efficiently, very cute inside with a lot of wood which lends to a rustic good feeling. Our server was one of the best servers we've ever had no matter what restaurant we're talking about! Our food was very good. The prices are wonderful! Thank you for a great experience in Jacksonville! 🍣

The menu and service are just as good today as it was when they first opened. Natalia was delightfully engaging as a server. She was knowledgeable about the menu and helpful in her suggestions. Next time I'm in town we will always be back!
