Customer Reviews
We came a day early for our anniversary because of the pending snowstorm but we got there right as they opened and we got seated immediately. We came for the Chirashi but we also saw they had some specials for the weekend, so of course we had to get the wagyu sliders. Those are very very good. We got the Chirashi and it was also very good. We also got one Philadelphia roll it had smoked salmon in it, also good. Definitely no complaints in any of the food. Atmosphere's fine, nothing crazy but I'm there for the food not for stuff hanging on the wall like cracker barrel. My wife already asked when can we go back because she wants to try the wagyu steak, I would definitely call ahead to make sure they have something like that because it might be limited. But I definitely will be definitely g
Been to a few ramen spots in the area. The Spicy Beef Bowl is my favorite along with the edamame beans as an appetizer. The flavor is consistent. Highly Recommend!
Food and ambience is amazing! We ordered the kani salad, miso soup, tonkotsu ramen, waygu roll, fire roll, rainbow eel roll, matcha cheesecake and everything was 10/10. Ramen was authentic with tons of flavor and large portions, and the sushi was fresh. Matcha cheesecake was perfectly moist and not overly sweet. Everything was so great that I only remembered to take a picture of the ramen and dessert before devouring it all lol. Service was great and even the manager takes pride in the place and goes to each table to say hello. Don’t let the outside deter you from stepping inside—we were told they recently remodeled and the cleanliness and attention to detail really shows.
I picked Wasabi Kaizen for a small private party. I approached cautiously because the place had very few reviews on Google Maps but was still drawn to it because the food photos looked very attractive. I test-drove the restaurant by having lunch there a few days before the party - 3-roll special for $18 plus a handroll to test preparation and fish freshness. Two thumbs up. To be fair, the appetizer salad dressing was a bit too sweet and needed some soy sauce to set it off. But great overall. I spoke to the owner to organize the party and found him very responsive and diligent. When the party started, everything was prepared and served very quickly. I ate many different rolls off the sushi boat, and they were beyond reproach. Ditto for the salads and hot food. The restaurant building looks
Great place, great service and amazing sushi! The host was sweet and our server was fantastic. Would definitely come back again, a very nice vibe.
