This place used to be a staple for me for years when I lived in the area. This was before Yelp became popular and I had the opportunity to review one of the few good sushi spots in Middlesex County. Trust me, living in nyc I was spoiled with good sushi, and is hard to come by in the area.
I was excited to get take out from here last week, and sadly I was disappointed with the freshness of the sushi. Wasabi 34 will never be confused with a top notch restaurant, but what it had going was decent sushi and cooked food at a great value.
After a long hiatus, the sushi rice was just as just as I remembered it – good flavor and nice texture. The size of the sushi pieces and rolls above average. When it came to freshness of the fish, something was fishy!
I'm not sure if it was just an isolated thing, or they decided to throw out quality control, but there's just so much soy /wasabi/spicy sauce that can conver up the fishy taste!
The way i used to remember Wasabi 34 was creative rolls, fresh sushi/sashimi, good cooked food and good prices. I will give it another shot in the future and hopefully give it another star.
I also want to mention they have a sister restaurant in East Brunswick and they have a similar menu and quality of food (a few years back).
Wasabi House. My Dads favorite restaurant. I eat here all the time with him. I love the Pork Tonkasu – it's a must try. The dipping sauce is phenomenal….I'm not a raw sushi fan – I only eat cooked rolls. They make it just how I like it. They used the rice paper per my request, and even gave me sesame seeds on the side….they also have fresh wasabi here- There's nothing like it. My family eats raw sushi and swear by it. They eat this stuff up by the platter full. We also ordered a mango salad which I asked for them to add avocado on top – yum!
I usually love the banana tempura dessert however tonight I was stuffed. The owners are pleasant and the staff is happy and friendly as well…..
The food is decent. No complaints. They do have some veggie options (vegetarian dinner rolls) or the veggie yaki udon (ask for no butter, egg, etc). For the vegarian rolls, it comes with avocado cucumber roll, sweet potato roll, and the squash roll. I really love all 3 combos..this dinner is super filling too.
I'm giving this restaurant a 2/5 because of the service. We came here on a friday night with a party of 6 and I felt like the service was extremely slow and the waiters were not attentive at all. They were not even that busy in my opinion. It took about 30-40 minutes for the food to come out of the kitchen, which felt like forever.
Friendly service and wonderful fresh sashimi. What more can you ask for? The owner of the place tajes his culinary skills very seriously and creates new rolls. Tonight, we had the Kit Kat roll. Sweet and salty heaven all rolled up. A creative genius.
Not a bad place to eat. Food was good. But I had better. I still would try it out though, maybe I just ordered the wrong entree. Maybe the cook was having a bad day. All I know is that I give places at least two tries to give them the benefit of the doubt.
My girl and I had seaweed salad, which she loved of course. It was ok for me. I ordered chicken teriyaki with white rice on the side. They always give big heaping portions. The chicken teriyaki was drenched with teriyaki sauce which I love, and had onions as well. My girl had shrimp tempura rolls which she liked. Overall it was ok. But like I said we will swing by here again next time around and give it one more shot. Our experience might be different next time around.
I hate to do this, but I have to dock a star. They decided to change up one of the best dishes of this place- the fried oysters. It used to come out as one plump and juicy oyster, but when I ordered it 2 weeks ago, they were flat! Deflated and hardly any oyster(smaller than a thumbnail's worth). When I called the waiter over, there was terrible logic thrown my way: "we used to put two pieces in it." No, you did not.
The good thing is that the sashimi is still very fresh and worth it.
Such a travesty when they try to fix a problem that didn't exist in the first place. STOP BEING CHEAP, and bring back my awesome fried oysters!! Until then, fair warning to everyone- don't order it.
Was looking for a place that was open late for dinner and ended up here. The place looks old, but the food was decent and the service was friendly. We ordered the Deluxe Sashimi Dinner, and the sushi did not taste bad even though it was at the end of the day. It seemed a bit pricy though, but I guess that may just be the regular price for sushi around that area.
