Every subsequent visit here has seen a slight decline in overall quality and service. While I'm still a fan of Wasabi, it's not as great as I remember it. I think because it's gotten more popular, they've sacrificed a bit in the way of good service and high quality. The super efficient waitress who used to be there most days has been replaced by a team of 2 or 3 waitstaff who aren't quite as skilled or attentive. The food has gotten sloppy in presentation and there's something lacking in flavor. For this area though, Wasabi still is one of the better Japanese restaurants.
Wasabi is as good as Sakura Bana, except I'll be full afterwards and I wouldn't have spent as much. The lunch deals here are excellent and the food is top notch. Wasabi even has it's own parking lot, even more reason to come.
I got lunch combo B which included chicken karaage, rice, potato salad, pickles, shumai, and miso soup. The karaage was awesome, seasoned well and not overcooked/dried out. Shumai was pretty standard, miso soup was good. Lot of pepper in the potato salad.
I also picked up spicy tuna and salmon rolls to share with my sister. I actually prefer the sushi here to Sakura Bana. The rice wasn't as overly seasoned with vinegar. Interestingly enough, the spicy tuna roll was not processed tuna and mayo like I'd usually find. It actually still resembled a piece of tuna, albeit with some spicy mayo.
I'd gladly return here for some awesome Japanese food.
If you crave authentic Japanese sushi in Ridgewood, Wasabi is the place. Bento box lunches and their soups are bargains, and any one of those offerings is bound to please. Sushi a la carte is pricey but worth it. Never seems too busy or rushed and service is attentive. There are other choices in town at higher prices, but this place gets my vote for their value laden lunch specials and classically prepared sushi and sashimi. Great for those moments when I really must have that authentic bite.
Small, intimate and authentic local sushi spot. The sushi was fresh and delicious, very high quality and reasonably priced. Perfect for a date night or to bring in your starving family of 6 – accommodating either way.
I've come here a bunch of times with my family and we've never been unsatisfied. The service is pretty prompt, and all of the staff seems very happy to please the customers. The food itself seems pretty fresh. I've tried many, many sushi restaurants in Bergen County and this is one that I return to over and over again. I really love their specialty rolls. We actually went there this past weekend and I got an Atlantic roll and it was very very tasty.
Very good local place w excellent dishes especially fish such as flash fried flounder; good noodle bowls and fresh rolls
This is a very good spot for sushi. I got the chirashi lunch special for 12 bucks that came with tempura, a soup, some vegetables, and a small seaweed salad. What a great price. The chirashi had a ton of nicely assorted cubed pieces of fish and a ton of rice. There was salmon, tuna, yellow tail, and a few others. Their tempura is amazing, the batter is seasoned perfectly and then fried to perfection, really a perfect crunch. Going in I thought there wasn't going to be enough food, but there was plenty. I will be back for more.
One of my favorite Japanese restaurants. The sushi quality is very fresh. Their salad dressing is some of the best I've had. I also enjoy their tempura and oyoko don.
The kitchen entrees and sushi entrees often come out at different times.
Service is friendly. Attentiveness can vary.
