We stopped here on our way to Myrtle Beach on a travel day. We were very happy with the menu, if anything there's too many great sounding things to choose from! The garlic edamame was delicious and different than anything we've had before. Sushi was very good and beautifully presented. We would recommend!

This is my first time trying their wasabi bubble milk tea, is surprising good! I also ordered their Buddha’s belly roll and hibachi shrimp, the food is good, the server is nice, will come back!

Wasabi is one of our “Go To” places to enjoy weekly sushi - we generally sit at the sushi bar where we have gotten to know the staff however they boast an ambient dining room and outdoor dining patio as well that are equally pleasant. The variety in their menu offers something for everyone - and to top it off the staff is friendly , caring and always ready with a fabulous suggestion .... Wasabi in Oakland is literally the Cheers of Sushi - where everyone knows your name. I’ve noticed they have a very regular clientele - likely due to the combination of excellent food and friendly staff ... It’s worth the drive - and when you go tell them Christy sent you !

We use to love this spot, we would go every week. But they ended the happy hour, so we have removed it from our circulation for now. Still really like the sushi and fairly priced.

This is the best Japanese restaurant I have ever been to. I will travel from Saint Stephen again and again just to come to this location. Even just to serve me water out of a wine glass made me feel good. The food was prepared with love. Our waiter he was smooth. Nice tone of voice, and called you boss. Thank you for great service. And by the way we were greeted as soon as we entered the establishment.
