Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We ordered take-out for a family visit in Somerville. Very good rolls and sushi and sashimi. When I arrived to pick up the order, the atmosphere was very welcoming, I would readily eat in the restauarant when I'm ready to do that. The prep guys...seemed to know what they're doing, and are very quick and professional. The cashier was very personable, and everything was very gracious. Nice atmosphere inside, and very professional service.More

We ate here all the time - just loved it! But the location has closed. It looks like another sushi place is opening in the same location, but it isn't Wasabi's so don't be confused.

A little more expensive than places that are less fancy but it is a nice place to bring a date or if you want something a bit nicer as far as atmosphere. Sushi was very good and everything went well. We were able to park...our two cars right out in front on a weeknight after 8pm. The domestic beers were reasonably priced but I thought at $6 the 12oz imports were a bit overpriced. I would go back if an occasion called for it.More

My wife and I stopped at Wasabi at about 4pm to order take out food. We've eaten here before several years ago and were pleased with the food and service at that time. When we got home, we were disappointed to find that the seafood...coconut curry soup at $8 was not what was listed on the menu - the broth was delicious but it contained only two very small shrimp, no scallops and 2-3 very small rings of squid with very little vegetables. As for the sushi rolls, my Maryland Roll contained 6 very small rolls mostly consisting of rice. My wife's Dragon Roll order was similarly very small. For $29 we expected to get what we paid for.More

Good selection of Saki and wines, but very limited selection of draft beer. There are a few seats at the bar and there’s also a Sushi bar. There are also tables both inside and an outside dining area. The menu has a good selection of...appetizers, noodles, tempura and other entrees. The service was decent service but sitting at bar I had a separate waiter from the bartender. I started with vegetable dumplings – which were delicious and did not take long to serve. Not long after I finished the dumplings my entrée was served. The Singapore rice noodles were also delicious and included shrimp and chicken. The portions were very good and the prices reasonable.More

Enjoyed a mid afternoon at Wasabi Asian Plates outdoors on a warm Spring day. The table service is excellent and the sushi outstanding with a menu inclusive of many Japanese, Asian items to choose from for those who do not prefer Sushi. The Mochi Ice...cream dessert is a pleasing finish to some wonderful Maki rolls. Two little annoying details have changed at Wasabi; they close outdoor dining before closing their Restaurant at 2:30PM so a late afternoon lunch is out of the question. An early evening meal though is delightful for our door dining is inclined to visit Somerville on Friday night Cruise Night. Just get there early for a table. The second issue is that the ceramic tea cups have been replaced with plastic cups. Not classy at all. My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant from its inception and the food and service remain excellent but some of the style and finesse is starting to creep in; chipped plates, plastic tea cups and a few less attentive staff are present. Overall, I still highly recommend Wasabi Asian Plates as one of the best in the area.More

This place has a special place in my heart I had my first date and my pre-proposal dinner here. I love their volcano roll! There's lots of great options for vegetarians and the food comes out quickly with kind service. I've enjoyed coming to wasabi...on a date as well as bringing friends. It's a nice low-key restaurant.More

We have visited this restaurant many times over the years. We visited recently & as always the sushi was by far the best in the area. We had the sushi/sashimi platter for three & found every piece so fresh, tender & far above other sushi...we have eaten. Not all our party enjoys sushi so several other dinners were ordered & all were great. We have found if you plan to go later on the weekend you should make a reservation. For sushi in this area you cannot beat the quality & service.More

I gave this restaurant a great review before .... unfortunately I haven't visited in a few years. My most recent visit was very disappointing - the specialty rolls which I usually ordered were not as expected. I usually get the Spider and the Dragon roll...where typically there would be at least 6 pieces. What I got was only 4 pieces per roll and lots of decorative lettuce on the plate. It wasn't that the pieces were smaller - the overall size of the roll was smaller. Almost as if the rolls were rolled short side not the long side. I left still feeling hungry and unsatisfied. There are other options in the area which I may be trying.More

Love sushi. This is by far the best and most creative sushi as well as other menu items in the area for me. It is more expensive but you won't be disappointed, Good drinks too and nice ambiance.

We eat here once in a while when I have a sushi craving. And we like the ambiance, a wine menu with interesting sake choices and the food. The appetizers like tuna tartar and peppered tuna are delicious. The sushi are good, there are very...complicated special rolls that I enjoy. And they usually have a table or two available even on Fri and Sat night so you don't have to wait forever. BTW, if you go with kids they have hot Japanese dishes too, my kids love chicken teriyaki and anything with shrimps.More

I haven't eaten here in a while since we relocated. Pleasantly surprised that it was as good as I remembered. Well worth the stop. Plan to come back the next time I'm in town.

I don't usually pick Sushi for lunch but when this restaurant was suggested I figured why not. It was a halfway point between myself and a friend from my youth and I just wanted to be agreeable. We arrived at 11:45 and the place was...empty. Made me worry a bit. But it turned out great! Sitting at the bar I started with a Cosmo, made just right. My companion and I shared a seafood ap which was perfectly portioned for two, with soft shell crab, shrimp, tiny scallops on a stick and mussels. She ordered two rolls which I never got to taste because the gobbled up. I had a lobster roll which was very satisfying. The service was friendly and fine. Not cheap but not to pricey either.More
