Wasai Bistro

One of the best sushi experiences in NJ! Chef Nelson is an artist in presentation and a master at combining flavors to highlight phenomenal fish and other ingredients. We had the best birthday celebration here and cannot recommend it enough. Service was spectacular, always attentive but never intrusive. Really one of my favorite restaurants! The seafood is so fresh and the Wagyu is buttery. Thank you, Chef and the entire Wasai team for a wonderful meal!

This is our #1 to go restaurant if we want to eat sushi other than the usual one like Salmon Tuna Ebi etc… that we can eat at any Japanese restaurant. We love that they have more varieties of sushi and it is great quality. Their service is excellent. There’s one young male server always in positive vibe and will always pay attention to your every little movement to meet your needs. One thing that I also like is this restaurant still recommends 15% gratitude comparing with other restaurants usually put 18% the lowest!

Wasai Bistro is the textbook definition of hidden gem. The wife and I were passing through the area when we decided to have some sushi. Luckily, we picked the best spot in town. The sushi was absolutely delicious and fresh. Comparable and perhaps better than any sushi we've had anywhere. However the reason why we won't ever forget Wasai is due to it's duck & mushroom risotto. It was, hands down, the best risotto we've had. It was so good we ordered one to take back home to Pennsylvania. This lovely spot is a must visit if you're passing through; actually, it's a must if you're within reasonable driving distance. We're looking forward to our next drive through *checks notes* Cranford, NJ.

Every dish was bursting with fresh, delicious fish, and the waiter was incredibly attentive. The sea urchin was absolutely amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back

We walked in and the restaurant was empty. Asked if we had reservations. Nobody else there when we left. Waiter wore face mask entire time. Made us wonder what disease he had. They gave us a atitude like they were doing us a favor. Apparently they are trying to create an upscale and unique image. In our minds, they failed. Food was good, but not really special. Only sushi place (and we have been to MANY) to upcharge for additional ginger. Definitely NOT worth going back to.
