Wow!!!! I am super impressed with Wasabi! My friend and I came in here on a rainy night, and it was empty. We were the only people in the restaurant. Of course, we were immediately seated. The server was very upbeat and humorous. I can't remember her name, but I do remember her saying that she is from Tibet but was raised in India. I order two rolls. The sweet potato roll was amazing. The sauce that was drizzled on the rolls was a wonderful compliment. Also, I adore the slight crunch that the roll had. My second, cucumber and cream cheese, was great. The cucumbers were nice and crisp. To drink, I order hot green tea. I didn't like the tea although it helped with the cold weather. The tea had this weird taste. Maybe I am not used to "authentic" green tea. My friend order the fried rice. She requested that it be cooked in oil with no egg. She order the avocado roll. She was pleased with her food. The decor was darling. It was dark with exposed piping. The perfect date night spot. I can easily see this as my new favorite dining place in Montgomery.

It was somewhat empty when we came here on a Tuesday night, which created a very romantic atmosphere. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. We ordered the tuna takaki and seafood soup, which blew us away. I could seriously write a love song for that soup. I think it healed my body AND soul. The sushi rolls were not only gorgeous, but fresh and and flavorful. The Empire roll truly impressed me. I doubt my date got more than one piece of it. I really can't go anywhere else for sushi now ( I haven't tested that sentiment, but it currently stands).

Dissapointed. Only went here because it was close and thw yelp reviews were good. Hibachi chicken and shrimp was dry, overcooked and bland. Chicken was so bad could only eat a few bites. Fried rice was mediocre, had to eat with part of a torn up cup and coffee stirrers. Guess I shouldn't have assumed that just anyone could figure out that an out of towner staying at a hotel would need utensils and napkin. Vegetables also bland but we're good. Was also a little bothered by the lemon seeds i kept finding in the vegetable and chicken. I season my food with lemon too, but am careful to avoid seeds dropping in. Also had the shimp and vegetable tempura which was much better than everything else, was also quote bland but had a good sauce with it. Fast service and food prep.

Delicious sushi....great ambiance. I went on an Wednesday evening and the place was quite simply dead. Nonetheless, the food was great and when I'm in the area again, I'll be back.

This is one of my "go to" places for lunch downtown. They are very fast but the food is always good. They have a reasonably priced lunch menu with both hibachi choices and sushi choices. They also have an extensive selection of specialty sushi rolls. I have never had a bad experience there in terms of service or in terms of food.

great service! the saki was strong and flavorful. ordered a pratville roll as a novice sushi eater was was pleasantly surprised at how good it is. i'm still craving one now. located in a great place in the alley station but easy to get in and out.
(4)Richard J.
I had the soft shell crab and calamari. Absolutely great. It was fresh and properly prepared. Definitely recommended.

We went to the alley for lunch at The Station. We were disappointed that it was closed for lunch on the day after Christmas. This turned out to be a blessing since it led the group to eat at Wasabi for the first time. We ordered 4 different entrees and everyone had nothing but great things to say about what they ordered. The service was excellent and the ascetics are warm and inviting. I will definitely be back!

This place is yum! My husband and I shared the sweet bahama roll which had shrimp cucumbers and fried bananas and then I got the chicken Yaki udon and he got the chicken Yaki soba. Both were delicious. Atmosphere is nice and they have outside seating too which is great when there's beautiful weather.
(4)Shawn H.
Delicious, but pricey! It's kind of what you expect from a sushi place. My only real complaint here is that the Philadelphia roll my daughter ordered was a tad on the small side. Will we be back? It is likely, but we'll probably hit up some of the other establishments in the area again before our second trip here.
(3)Emma A.
Love the location, tucked away in the Alley downtown. The atmosphere is also great, casual but it feels upscale. The sweet Bahama roll isn't on the menu but I know lots of people that won't eat anything else. I wasn't a huge fan just because I don't love bananas and that is a main ingredient in this roll. Everything else is awesome. This is a perfect place for lunch as service has always been quick and friendly. Prices are reasonable. I feel like this place is here to stay.
(4)Seth R.
Pretty good sushi, but way overpriced. It's the best I've had in Montgomery, but I probably won't go back because of the price.

I have to say after reading the yelp reviews we were pretty excited to come for dinner this past Sunday. Unfortunately we left a bit disappointed. While the location, decor, and sashimi was good and fresh and the presentation was nice, they really blew it on the basics... I enjoy miso soup and I have never in all my years had bad miso until Sunday. It was barely warm and tasted...off. Then the hot sake was mildly warm and cold by the second pour. Hot sake should be served hot and stay hot for several pours. I would have mentioned this to our server but she never came back until our food was served and ran off so quickly, think drop and run. She did not explain what was on the boat or ask if we needed anything else. We ordered a sushi boat and while the sashimi was good the sushi rice had a funky texture and lacked flavor.

This sushi restaurant is really neat. It shares a building with other businesses; however, it is a spectacular design I here! I really enjoy the high ceilings with rustic brick. The bar area has these cool LED hanging lights that are multicolored bottles. Real cool look! I had an appetizer spring roll which burned the top of my mouth! Dang it! Roll was so good I kept on eating thru the pain! For the dinner portion I had the shrimp tempura roll, the spyder roll and the green roll. All we pleasantly presented. The green roll was fantastic, but the spyder crab was a bit salty for my buds. I also had a draft beer which was only $2.75! That was the cheapest part. The sushi here is not cheap but it is not expensive either. Good food and cheap beer will bring me back!

Joined friends and had dinner here last night. I had the Tuna combo with sweet tea. Service was good, and sushi was good. Interior was a little dark, which seemed odd, but overall ok. It is in area called The Alley, which could explain part of it. They had a full bar with limited outside seating, but most of the area seems to still be in redevelopment. If you need a sushi fix, this will take care of that - but I wouldn't expect a lot more.

Sushi in Montgomery? Yep, seems a little brave, but, after flying next to a Japanese citizen and sharing a cab with another, I figured that it wasn't the state's capitol that was attracting all these Asian visitors. Sure enough - Hyundai has a plant, and, where there is a large Japanese biz population, there is generally a decent sushi place. So, I deduced sushi in Montgomery wasn't that risky after all (though I didn't opt for sashimi on a Monday - I know my limits). My specialty roll was a shrimp tempura with jalapenos and avocado - delish and fresh. Miso soup was earthy, just the way I like it. Service was swift and kind. Next time I breeze through ole Hank Williams' hometown, I'll give Wasabi a try again.

In Montgomery for a conference. Had hibashi dish for lunch. Delicious fried rice and avacado salad. The soup was so yummy I came back for dinner. Had curry. Best curry ever!! Server at lunch was great as was the bartender that evening (ate at the bar). prices are very reasonable, particularly for this quality of food. Will be back as often as possible!
(5)Orion V.
Service was not on par with what a place like this should be. Late drinks / long time between fillings. Food was good though! Could be a better experience if service was improved.
(4)Josh M.
The food here is worth 3.5 to 4 stars--decent sushi that would be nothing to write home about in a bigger city but is very good by Montgomery standards. Service has been worth five stars every time I've been there. But they have been out of stock on sake for more than a month. That's like a ballpark being out of hot dogs--they're not the main reason you're there, but you very much miss 'em when they aren't. Last straw was tonight when I called ahead to find out if they had gotten in a shipment and was assured they had. Walked the mile in, only to find out that the dude was apparently just saying whatever he thought I wanted to hear to get me off the phone, because they had none.

The food & service was excellent!!! Will be a coming back to WASABI Japanese Cuisine & Sushi
(5)Svetlana O.
Nice location. The menu has quite a lengthy list for sushi, but if there are certain ingredients that you do not want (i.e. tuna), I felt that greatly limits options down to almost 5 things. Nonetheless, I was quite pleased with my selection. This could possibly be a contender for a return visit.
(3)Shayne G.
Went on Sunday afternoon, so was very quiet. Nice atmosphere, friendly service. Tempera was ok, sushi roll with lobster, tuna, and avocado was excellent. Was disappointed the wasabi martini has no wasabi in it, so skipped that and had a dirty martini which was made very well.
(4)Kyleah J.
Yelpers tip: Bring your patience and an open mind. It's a cool downtown restaurant with potential. With that said... the food is pretty amazing. I had a lunch special - 2 rolls + soup/salad. Tasty and fresh. I went to Wasabi for lunch takeout and the service was disappointing. It took about 40 minutes for 3 people to get their orders - we all ordered sushi + soup + salad. The restaurant wasn't packed and most people had their food when we came in. I do plan on giving them a second chance and try some of their moderately priced hibachi options; I will update once I return.
(3)Candie D.
The 007 roll is delicious. Have been there twice in just three weeks. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave great advice. Only downside for my husband is that they don't offer anything really spicy. Will definitely be back again.

"Feast on Japanese cuisine". All I have to say is, "thank you for being open on Christmas Day"! After calling multiple restaurants on Christmas Day, I found out this restaurant was open and boy were me and my family thrilled! The closure of most of the city left us with very few options including low-quality diners that we were just not in the mood for as a Christmas meal. So, when I called Wasabi, I was ecstatic, when I called and they told me they were open until 9pm (with kitchen closing at 8:30pm). I was just over happy that I was not going to be eating low-quality food in a diner with my family on Christmas Day. On the menu, soft-shelled crab, vegetable & shrimp tempura and the "007 roll" caught our eyes. The waiter was very pleasant and was happy to have us as customers that evening, so he made the experience an enjoyable one. The food came out promptly and I could say that I have had better coming from big cities where Japanese eateries were on every corner. First, the tempura was not as crispy as I normally like mine, but it was great that they incorporated different vegetables in this appetizers. As for the soft-shelled crab, I have never had it in this form - formed into strips then deep fried - the taste was a bit awkward, but I still enjoyed the crunch, which is always a must. The "007 roll" was forgettable... nothing popped out at me about it and it was a bummer because it was a specialty roll and a bit pricier. For dessert... I was ever so grateful that they had green tea ice cream... a perfect ending to a bountiful meal! I absolutely love green tea ice cream! The flavor of the green tea was fully present and the creaminess was divine! Honestly, I could have had multiple bowls of this for dinner.

Sushi, hibachi, and stir-fry This place does it all, and does it quite well. The rolls are creative and the fish is fresh. It's the best option for sushi/asian cuisine in downtown Montgomery. If you really are looking to indulge I definitely recommend finishing the meal with the Tempura ice cream. The crunchy salty tempura outside pairs well with the sweet cool ice cream inside. Its a flavor and sensory experience.
(4)Jeff H.
Just enjoyed a very nice meal at Wasabi! I had some Edamame and three different sushi rolls. The highlight of my meal was the "Rock n Roll" roll. It was so fresh and tasty that I had to order a second one! I'll definitely be back the next time that business brings me to Montgomery!

Simply unsanitary. Food was ok. However, I feel I must warn others that hygiene and sanitation is not their strong suit. I dined there today for lunch; got the sushi lunch special. My problem was that our server was sweeping the floor and immediately went to pick up our food and didn't wash his hands. I asked him and he said no he hadn't washed them. He took the plates away and said he'd call the manager. Well, manager was cleaning at that point and then came back with our food on a different plate. I told the manager and he said that server was told from now on he had to wash his hands. I didn't even want to think the manager didn't wash. I asked if they have proper procedures for cleaning/serving and I got a blank stare. Completely unacceptable. I called the Montgomery Health department and they said they'd be investigating. I can deal with lots of things, but sanitary practices are CRUCIAL. I will not be dining here again. Much better options for sushi in Montgomery anyways--where they have designated staff for cleaning also.

I had lunch at Wasabi today and it was fabulous. I had the Tempura Special Box. The fried rice, miso soup, and spring roll were very good. The shrimp and vegetable tempura was delicious-very light and perfectly cooked. 4 pc of California roll was included in the box. The pcs were very tasty. The price was extremely reasonable. The decor is cool and modern. I will definitely be going back and telling my friends about it.
(5)Cobey C.
The best vegetarian sushi I've ever had. I got the sweet potato roll and green roll and they were both amazing. We ate for Sunday lunch and there was no lunch menu so prices were a little higher than normal but it was worth it. Also, their sweet tea is really tasty. Dark, sweet, with a touch of honey. Gordon Ramsey would not spit it out.
(5)Johnny L.
Nice surprise across from the ballpark and Montgomery. Friendly staff and they do have a sushi bar
(5)Teresa D.
Wow!! So good! Sashimi was fresh, thick and flavorful. We had salmon, yellow tail and tobiko. We also ordered the Salmon explosion and spider rolls which were amazing. Don't forget the sake.

I am from out of town and had dinner here at the bar... the bartender was super friendly. Made a great palate cleansing martini with sake and cucumber. There are tons of creative rolls on the menu...good luck choosing but I don't think you can go wrong here. I'm not a huge fan of deep fried sushi but I did have a roll with shrimp tempura in it, I think it was the Sakura roll, and it was delicious--just the right amount of crunch to give a nice texture in your mouth. Also had an order of unagi and yellow tail nigiri, both were delicious. The size of the yellow tail and unagi were a bit smaller than what I am used to in Hawaii but all in all, it was ono! Clean place, cool décor and friendly peeps:)
(4)Bryan P.
Loved the boat! Very good service. Will make a point to go back before we leave the area for good!
(5)Imani L.
I've gone back twice since my last review. Once for lunch and once for dinner. I've gotten sushi each time. You can SKIP the seafood soup. It's basically miso broth with unseasoned radishes, scallops, fake crab, and mushrooms floating in it. It comes in a nice big bowl but it was lacking flavor-wise. The sushi is still the best I've found in Montgomery so if you have a raw fish craving go here.
(3)Barbara W.
More authentic Japanese food that is usual in Montgomery. Affordable prices. Interesting decor. I'll go back.
(4)Ross L.
My son and i came here cause we like sushi so we tried the roll tide roll along with a hibachi combo for him and a bento box for me. Roll Tide Roll was tasty and well presented, his hibachi plate looked good but kind of light for $13+ my bento lunch looked great, texturally correct but totally tasteless. If/when I come back I'm sticking with sushi and sake
(3)Claire G.
Tried this place because it was close to the hotel. Sushi was pretty good. Quick service and relatively cheap for sushi rolls. Also good at accommodating changes to rolls
(4)Gina B.
Best resto in Montgomery. This new place in the Alley has great food. Nearly every sushi roll (and I've tasted most of their very, very large selection) I've had was great. I don't think you could ask for much better from Montgomery at the current time. Is it Tokyo or Michelin star good? No. But if I want Sushi (or food in general) in Montgomery, this is probably the place to which I would go! The decor is clean and nicely designed as well.
