Service has improved since opening - new staff is nice and friendly! Tried the filet mignon roll! Dear lord is that thing good - it's $14 and some change, but damn is it so good! Still love the california roll and the spicy crawfish roll! Yes indeed!

I travel for a living and have been in every state in the country and many other countries but... I have never been more pleased and surprised by the service and absolutely over the top sushi as I was just served. I had a chirashi Martini and a little mermaid roll and cannot rave enough about this place. empty and quiet and astounding. I will be back every time I am in Jackson Mississippi.

Went for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Not many people were in the restaurant. The sushi was GREAT, especially the Cajun Roll. However the service was subpar to say the least. One waitress had an attitude the couple times she came to our table and another was so inattentive to where I had to get up to get my own silverware at the beginning of the meal and get up again to get a take-out box after my meal. In all, the food is great, but the service is not.

As many reviews have said, don't be fooled by how dead this place is. Staying just down the street at The Hilton, this place was easy choice for some quick dinner after a long day of traveling. We walked were greeted and seated immediately in the near empty restaurant. The menu was extensive covering a large variety of sops, salads, sushi, maki and noodles. As well as many other hibachi, noodle, and other traditional entries. We each ordered a roll (Fusion Po-Boy, and the Yum-yum Roll) then a side of broccoli, fried Rice with chicken, and a bowl of Tempura Udon soup to share. The Po-Boy roll was good, it is served hot, and it tasted much better later when we finished it later on and it was cold. As the flavors blended a little smoother. The Yum-yum Roll was exceptional and was the first and only thing we ordered that was finished at the table. The portions of soup and rice where very generous. Everything we ordered came out extremely fresh and prompt. I can not find anything bad to say about this place, the food was good, and the service was friendly, the only thing missing was other customers.

Located downtown near the King Edward Hotel, this restaurant is in an excellent location. I love Downtown, though the roadwork they've been doing lately makes accessing Wasabi a bit more difficult. As far as the menu, this is your standard sushi restaurant. They've got your basics as well as some specialty rolls. They also offer hibachi and cooked dishes, though I've never given those a shot since I'm pretty much obsessed with sushi. The sushi here is pretty good. It's nothing mind-blowing, but it's definitely good. The drink menu is pretty solid. They've got some great cocktails and a small but decent beer selection. The service is usually pretty slow and the waitstaff always seems a bit understaffed. It's not the most pleasant environment, though it is usually pretty empty and quiet if you're looking for that. The patio is a really nice place to sit on a warm, breezy day so if you want to eat sushi in the shade, I highly suggest Wasabi. Other than that, I usually head elsewhere if I'm craving sushi. Like I said though, I love the location of Wasabi so I'll keep going back occasionally.

Pretty good, solid place. The shrimp siomai was my favorite. Also ordered the downtown roll, seaweed salad, their version of honey walnut shrimp. The shrimp had too much batter for me and it could have used more sauce. It was also a little over cooked and too mushy. Total was about $42.They only had one server that night, and one sushi chef at the bar. They have a hibachi grill seating area but only open for reservations. This place has a lot of potential.

This place is so bomb!! I was worried when I saw how dead it was. We walked in at 730 on a Sunday and we were the only ones!! So I was hesitant to get any sashimi etc. But so glad I did. It was PERFECT. Excellent service. Mississippi roll and Cajun roll and esp filet mignon roll were amazing. Sooo good. Kids loved gyoza and tekki maki rolls. Dessert was great too. I highly recommend. Best fresh fish ever...and generous with the sashimi.

This restaurant has the worst service of all man kind. The food is so good it's sad but the food is the best I wouldn't recommend anyone to attend

I haven't been here in about a year, but I have been craving this place lately. This review is really for Chef Andrew. I have been a fan of his since he worked at Little Tokyo in Ridgeland. He's really good! I will say that the wait staff wasn't particularly great when we were there. My friend and I went at lunch and were seated at a grill with some other professionals. They were on the clock and it was taking them forever to get drinks/food and Chef Andrew was no where close to getting to us. It seems to be common that Andrew is the only chef working most of the time. Anyway, a waitress caught an attitude with the other group when they were inquiring about the wait because their lunch time was almost up. They ended up just leaving. The food is great. The use a sweet brown sauce on the meat that tastes different from the usual in this area. Also, I don't like pink sauce but I will eat theirs because it has a sweet pineapple note. Nice! I didn't think it was terribly expensive at lunch, but again I haven't been in a while. I hope they keep the quality up.

Rarely do I add Yelp reviews in a negative light, so trust me, I'm not a chronic critic curmudgeon, but my recent experience at Wasabi left me, well...pissed enough to take to The Yelp masses. I just walked in and placed a take-out order hoping to be in and out in a few minutes. The staff wasn't very receptive off the bat, but it wasn't until I got all the way back to my hotel room to see that half my order was missing, that we had an issue. I immediately called back asking about my order and was told it was sitting on the counter (no apology issued). I asked if they could deliver me the forgotten items and was met with a rude lecture about how they are understaffed and take-out means coming to pick it up. Leaving my meal to get cold at the hotel, I begrudgingly walked back and again, was met with no real apology or offering for a partial refund. All I'm saying is, if you mess up and are met with an understanding customer who will walk all the way back to right your mistake, at least say sorry like you mean it. #rude

Hibachi is very fun and entertaining. The chef throws food and you try to catch it in your mouth. Great for a date! This place is kind of dead at night and on the weekend.
(3)Greg M.
Decent option for sushi and rolls in downtown Jackson. They've got the typical offerings, in addition to hibachi, etc. I opted to sit at the sushi bar on a nearly empty Wednesday night. Started with the seaweed salad, which was pretty good, but not sure why the put it on a bed of greens. The rolls I selected weren't the best I've ever eaten (not even close), but not bad. I'll give them a bonus point for having Sapporo on tap.
(3)Joey P.
Awesome sushi place downtown. Filet Mignon Roll was incredible and very filling. The Rice Paper roll was also really good... light and not too heavy (no rice). Very close to the Jackson Marriott, walking distance in fact. Thanks for the tip on Yelp, sit at the Sushi bar if you want the recommendation of what's freshest for the day/week. Ethan was very helpful.
(5)Ashley C.
Many times I've eaten here and each experience has been worth my money. Today, topped them all. Ethan, on the management team, swept me off my feet with his kind service and over the top accommodation! I'm a regular her but I never noticed the hours. From 3-5p they are closed to restock and prepare for the evening crowd! I walked in after 3, mouth watering and in high anticipation of my favorite roll and app! Ethan greeted me at the door and advised me that they were closed. Disappointed but still craving Wasabi, I asked if I could at least place a to-go order. He proceeded to take my order and then, after I acknowledged his kindness and thanked him sincerely, he said, "Would you like to eat at the bar? Enjoy it fresh!" I screamed with happiness and proceeded to the bar. He turned the tv on and took my drink order.! *HEAVEN* I'm, at this very moment, receiving intimate, exclusive attention and I LOVE IT!! Eat here!! My food is piping hot and delicious as usual.!! I'm overflowing with joy and my tummy will be satisfied in 20 min. I promise you! I've tried many things on the menu, some awesome, some not but the ambiance and service is worth my money and time any day of the year!

Do not be fooled by how empty this restaurant may be when you walk in. The best sushi I've ever had, no exaggeration! Everything I have tried so far has been excellent, from the looks to the taste. The service is also great, which makes the meal much more enjoyable. Take-out has also been just as great.
(5)Chaitanya K.
Went here for lunch on a Saturday afternoon with a few colleagues and wasn't overly impressed. Took around 5 mins for us to get seated and had to hunt down someone to get our orders. Asked for the chicken fried rice which felt like having steamed rice and steamed chicken.
(2)Adam M.
Good sushi and cocktails, GREAT staff. Bartender Jason entertains and serves with exuberance... Hand delivers a nice dirty martini to the table. Server Noel knew the menu well and suggested the most unique "filet mignon roll". Amazing! Salmon wasn't the best... But other food made up for it
(4)Rose K.
The sushi was delicious, but the real reason to come is for the Crème Brulee. It was fantastic. The custard was melt in your mouth with a crispy sugary crunchy top. Back to the sushi, our favorite roll was the Farish Street roll. The filet mignon roll had a smoky, fired grilled taste to it. The service was excellent and we were offered a soup or salad complimentary while we waited for sushi. I would definitely recommend this place. One more thing, the restaurant was next to a lovely patch of grass and next time, we will definitely sit outside.

Came here last night for my brother's early birthday dinner. The Hibachi menu was very expensive than the rest I guess because the chef is putting on a show. Our waitress was this ok blond haired girl who seemed polite and throwing huge flirtation to my brother. This other family of a mum and 10 year old girl came in to sit at our booth with us. Everybody ordered meat except for me. I ordered the Vegetarian plate (and I'm not even Vegan or Vegetarian, I was just craving steamed zucchini). It took about 29 mins before our chef came out. The salad was good, but it giggles me that they add the dressing without asking. The miso soup was unpleasant to my taste; the fish broth was too salty. Our chef wasn't Asian nor Japanese, he was Black and that's not a big deal at all. When he came to our table he only acknowledged the 10 yr old girl first and not even my brother even though he was turning 22 he should've been greeted. He got started making all kinds of noises and flipping the fried rice. Burned the eggs a couple of times. When he was done the fried rice was too salty for my taste. Soy sauce and salt/pepper don't mix too well. Next, he started on the meat after he got done flipping and cooking the meat he handed it out to everyone by first to last. But when it came to my vegetables he didn't place them on my plate first before giving it out to everyone else he skipped me. That was so unprofessional! That made me so angry! The waitress handed out warm towels, so we could wipe our hands. When I got done the towel, it was sitting under my arm next to my plate. When she came to get my towel, I was eating. While I was eating she reached over my plate without saying excuse me and took the towel. That was so so very rude!!! No manners whatsoever! When everyone got done eating their meals, the waitress brought the little girl a cake THEN asked my brother did he want one. Of course, he does! It is his birthday too!!! She said she was going to bring him a cake she left and didn't came back. It was 20 mins before she came back with his cake even though we were the first ones there! Overall terrible service, ok food because of the veggies, but too pricey! I will not be back! Should've just went to the Cock on the Walk! I give three stars because it was my brother's moment not mines. I was just observant the moment.
(3)Shelby M.
Food was really good and the service was great! Very cool place but a little difficult to get to due to construction.
(4)Melvin P.
This place is a godsend. Except to my wallet. No, I take that back, my wallet is fine given how FRESH AND TASTY this fish is. The servers are great too, the perfect balance between attentive and indifferent. I am a big Nagoya fan, but I think this little gem is my new raw fish spot. Pro-tip: Sit at the sushi bar, the chefs are hilarious and really honest about which fish is the best at the moment. Also, they may slip you a bite of something experimental.

As I sit at the sushi bar enjoying the swimming fishes, I realize that for a couple traveling to Memphis & decided to stop for some sushi,we made the best decision possible!!!!!!!

*sigh* I hate to do this but...I have no plans on returning to Wasabi. This was my second time and it totally demolished the 4-5 star rating it would have gotten from the first time. The only real reason why I gave it 2 stars is because it was Valentine's Day, Chef Drew was the ONLY one working hibachi (what?!?!?! Poor guy), and although it wasn't as great as it was the first time, I know he was tired and it was still good. We had a reservation at 9pm and although construction is crazy downtown, we made it there at 8:55pm. We were told there would be about a 20 minute wait because although the previous party had finished, they were still holding up the tables. No problem....we waited. At about 9:30pm, the hostess comes back and tells us that they have yet to leave. Now, I had just gotten in town off of a 6 hour drive and was STARVING. I asked how much longer it would be and if I could have a glass of water. She brought the water back and said she would go check on the table. She returned close to 10pm! When she came back, she told us that they were leaving shortly but if we wanted to sit on the end of their table we could and they'd clear us off two spots. Before we could answer (we'd resolved to skip hibachi and order from the menu) she was gone! She returned to seat us at 10:30pm. Now, I'm skipping a lot but the waitstaff was awful this entire time. I heard a lot of complaining, cursing, etc. but we won't get into all of that. We were seated and we still waited for quite a while as Chef Drew was starting another table!! I wanted to leave and would have been fine with Taco Bell at this point, but my boyfriend already felt bad enough. The other people at our table told us that they had been waiting 20-30 minutes for sushi and one of the gentlemen reordered it....it came right out meaning it had been sitting somewhere that entire time. Well, at least I'd get soup and sald to appease my stomach......NO! We didnt get that. Instead we got a story about how our waiter needed his smoke break before he went crazy. At 11pm or so, Chef Drew came over to find that no one turned the table on so we waited while it heated up. To wrap this up, he gave a great show and the food was good but not great. All in all, we STILL were given an $85 ticket with nothing taken off for the wait, lack of appetizers, or sketchy service.....and my sweet bf paid it without hesitation. Better him than me but we won't return. Move to Tennessee Chef Drew!

When staying down the street at the Hilton Garden Inn, a group of us headed over hear to grab a vegetarian friendly dinner. While they didn't have a ton of vegetarian rolls (actually, they just had one -- a vegetable roll, although they probably could have made cucumber and/or avocado rolls), they did have some entrees that were vegetarian. They all were listed as with vegetables on the menu, but if you asked for tofu (which I did), they'll through in veggies AND tofu. The udon was huge and yummy. Although the service was a little odd at times (they couldn't serve both hot water AND hot tea, so our table had to decide on just one), overall, they were friendly, and the orders came out correctly. Many of us had glasses of Moscato, which was tasty, if a bit over priced. Plus, all of us got salad and soup with out meals - what a deal.
(4)Brett H.
Good sushi - awful service - I travel 40 wks a year and this was worst experience I have had in 13 yrs of traveling. Found hair in hibachi on my mine and dinner guest plates.
(1)BroSauce J.
ahem. Now for the first *real* review of Wasabi. It's good. I mean, the rolls are creative (hello crawfish!), the atmosphere is a bit insane (hello fish tanks!) but the service can be a bit absent-minded (hello?) although very friendly. Everyone's food was really good. My plate of sushi came with a glowing Christmas light hidden underneath some kind of translucent daikon root. Yeah, weird. But rolls were delish, especially the crawfish roll, HUGE, and the prices were not out of line, even for sushi. The place is a little hard to find underneath a parking garage exit ramp but it's worth the find. More places like this should continue the revitalization of downtown Jackson. Awwww yeah.
(4)Pamela G.
Restaurant a little difficult to find as the entrance is directly under an off ramp for a parking garage, but so worth it when you do. The decor is elegant, with lovely place settings and Himalayan salt candle holders on the table. Hot, gently scented hand towels offered after you are seated. The menu descriptions are a little difficult to read in the muted lighting. Only less than glowing thing I have to say about Wasabi, but I would rather bring a flashlight or a sharp eyed 20 year old to read the descriptions to me than change the ambiance. There were 4 people in our group: 2 raw fish fans, 2 cooked only fans. I ordered an appetizer of octopus, which was delicious and served with paper thin slices of lemon between each slice of octopus. Takki Maki roll made with yellow tail next and then entree of the "Pink Hawaiian" - spicy tuna stuffed inside of Ahi tuna and topped with Escolar. All of it beautiful and delicious. The 2 non raw fans ordered hibachi dinners. One filet mignon and the other NY Strip. Both said the fried rice was the best they have ever had in Jackson, with the steak cooked perfectly. They said next time, they will order double fried rice - the size that came with their order was perfect for a meal but was so good they wanted to have some left over to enjoy the next day for lunch. Excellent menu with many choices. I can't wait to go back and try more of their offerings.
(5)Krysia S.
The restaurant itself is spacious and open; when I came for dinner it wasn't very crowded. I can imagine it being a noisy when they're busy, but in Jackson that's usually not a question at all. The service was attentive and very helpful. We ate light and had two rolls, which were both delicious - the ingredients were definitely all fresh. The rolls we had weren't too expensive, but there are some more luxurious options if you're in the mood (the Filet Mignon roll comes to mind). We had the Bananas Foster spring roll for dessert and it was to die for! Overall, a great experience. I highly recommend it if you're in Jackson and want to get your sushi fix.
