I don't know if you are like me or not but I can overlook the placement or decor of a place if the service and food are top notch. So I must agree with another reviewer and say- don't let the location sway you from going. Inside it is clean, welcoming and has the best service anywhere. The owner is... More

Absolutely the best sushi in this fishing town. Fresh, Fresh and inventive. Consistently good service, friendly staff and a calm atmosphere are the hallmarks of this strip mall located restaurant. A bit hard to find at first, but well worth the search. Once inside you will forget about the location and you will enjoy every bite. Forget the chains get... More

Dont let strip mall location fool you. The atmosphere is still Japanese in style. Apparently the local fishmen bring their catches to this chef.Felt like one of the family or a regular immediately. Fresh fresh and yummy.

My husband and I ate here while on our visit to Wilmington. The food was fantastic! We had 2 appetizers -- one called Monkey Balls that was tempura mushrooms stuffed with spicy tuna and the other, I don't recall the name of it, but was tempura jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese and spicy tuna. I'd drive the 6 hours to... More

Wasabi Sushi has Japanese cuisine including fresh sushi. But I go there for great Kal-bi Korean BBQ ribs. It is among the best I've had that is not cooked at the table. They also have a crab salad that is fantastic. They only have kimchi as side dishes -most places have other items - but there are 3 or 4... More

Wonderful sushi and wonderful Japanese and Korean entrees. This place should be packed. The chef showers you with little extras. He knows how to please. Go.

We visited Wasabi Sushi for lunch. Dad and 2 teenaged boys. We started with the Heat Attack appetizer, which was sliced large chiles. This was moderately spicy, but very good. Expected a little more kick from the chiles. Two of us had the Samurai roll. It was the only spicy option that was tempura style. Again moderate heat, but tasty.... More

Wasabi is a bright and cherry sushi restaurant located in a middle aged strip shopping mall. All of the sushi I had was fresh, well prepared and tasty. I was especially impressed by the sashimi scallops which have to be very fresh to be good and they tasted great.

Every time we eat at Wasabi, we say to ourselves "why would you go anywhere else but here". The friendly atmosphere and warm personal service are unbeatable. The prices are low compared to other local sushi restaurants. But the fish is by far the freshest in town. My test for a honest to goodness sushi bar is in the salmon... More
