Food is ok. Experience is mediocre. Price is too much.

Great food, service and presentation. We love Drew!

It was a delicious foods. The server was awesome person. A lots of different kinds of foods. A lots of sushi’s. I Really love the food’s

Beautiful, good quality sushi. We unknowingly arrived 10 minutes before they closed but they were super nice and didn't rush us at all. We got the coconut scallop and wasabi shrimp apps. Both fried perfectly. Then we had the sweetheart roll and one of their crawfish rolls (I forget the name). The presentation was lovely and both were good. The crawfish roll had mango on top which was a bit too sweet for me but overall still good. I would definitely come back again to try more.

Sushi was okay, not the best quality but everything tasted good. Fast service and seating.

My wife and I were in Ashville for the first time and happened across this restaurant on our walk around town. The food was great and the service was very fast and pleasant. The portions were generous and left no room for dessert. We had the chicken teriyaki and steak teriyaki.

Delicious! Came during early afternoon and we had no wait time for a table. Small-medium sized restaurant, the service and food was amazing! There are limited outdoor seating. Our server was quick, attentive, and nice. The food was very tasty, I recommend trying the Coconut Scallops. It comes with a great fish sauce/sweet chili combo dip and the flavors mesh so well with the coconut. Crispy, sweet, and fresh. We got an eel roll and it was perfect. We regret not ordering more sushi. For the main dish we went with a basic teriyaki chicken and the teriyaki fish which both came on hot skillets/plates. Both came with plenty of veggies like snow peas, bean sprouts, etc. Definitely get their white sauce with these rice plates. Side dishes like soup and salad were great as well. Everyone was super nice and the food was great! We will definitely be back, try it for yourself!

After trying to find a restaurant that didn’t have a 2+ hour wait time, we settled for Wasabi. Got a bar seat fairly quickly. Enjoyed some amazing sushi and drinks while watching the chefs prepare the food.

This restaurant has excellent lunch specials that are reasonably priced. I ordered take-out several times during my recent stay in Asheville.

PERFECT meal! A bit pricey, came out to $150 for three people, but damn was it worth it. The ingredients used are genuine and rich, better than any regular fusion restaurant. I'd definitely recommend eating here of you have a wad of change, or a quick drop-in for the super cheap and delicious miso soup. Will be coming back very soon.
