Wasabi Sushi Bar — Restaurant in Kirkwood

"Wasabi Sushi: A True Hidden Gem"

As a California native who's lived in New York for years, my experience with sushi spans over four decades, giving me a keen sense for distinguishing the exceptional from the mediocre. Wasabi Sushi stands out as a shining example of culinary excellence, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating in both taste and presentation.

The highlight of my experience was their "Incredible Roll," aptly named for its luxurious lobster filling. Each bite was an exquisite blend of flavors, capturing the essence of what premium sushi should be. This dish alone makes Wasabi Sushi a must-visit for any sushi connoisseur.

Beyond the food, the service at Wasabi is commendable. The staff exhibits a genuine pride in their offerings and a commitment to customer satisfaction that enhances the dining experience. This level of care is evident in every aspect of their operation.

Wasabi's location in the Midwest makes it a rare find. While there are numerous Japanese sushi places scattered across the region, most offer only subpar experiences akin to food court quality. Wasabi, however, is a culinary oasis in Kirkwood that stands in stark contrast to these establishments. It's worth the drive to enjoy sushi that is prepared with such skill and attention to detail.

In conclusion, if you're in the Midwest and craving phenomenal sushi, don't settle for less. Wasabi Sushi is a hidden gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience, making it the go-to destination for anyone seeking authentic and expertly...

First time diner at Wasabi. First off, I can't believe I am leaving a 5 star rating based on the circumstances tonight. The food was excellent...some of the best sushi I have had in a while. But the place was packed...a complete madhouse...it was $7 roll night plus the night before Valentine's Day. Placed our order quickly and were excited for our rolls. The wait on our sushi order was over an hour which under normal circumstance would have me ballistic.

What made this a 5 star experience was our amazing server, Michelle. She was incredibly good at her job...managed our expectations from the very beginning regarding the wait time for sushi and why things were going to take longer than normal. She also repeatedly mentioned that she hoped the long wait would not impact our decision to come back in the future...and is exactly what happened because of her care and attention to the situation.

I dine out every day and was so impressed at how she managed our table. It is truly a rarity in this day and age to have someone so poised, professional and friendly able to manage our expectations the way she did given difficult circumstances. Thank you, Michelle!

PS. we ordered the Philadelphia roll, the Batman Roll, the Yummy Roll and the Spicy Omega Roll...all beautifully presented and absolutely delicious...our favorite was the...

I've come here to Because the comments here! We have ordered a total of eight sushi roll.Two sets of meal! Part of it is wonderful. Part was needed improvement! First 3star: The amount of children's meals is amazing. My children eat very well except the miso soup... It's really salty. I have to add water to dilute in order to let my girl have ! 2th was 3 star :We have eight sushi rolls, which are best roll with playboy & OMG. We couldn't help but ask for a second takeaway to continue to enjoy! The windy city roll is the most need to improve .The overcook fried scallops. Not fresh cucumber roll in the unequal rice. It tastes bad. I can't even confirm that it is that roll. Until I re-examine the menu Just known. And that volume is even wrong. It's too much difference with the picture! Third: 1 Star My Husband Steak Set. The steak we want is medium well .a bit hard to chew when we get,And we chose the fried rice. It is definitely wrong! The fried rice does not have any pot of scent, and even puts too much flavor. It only feels too heavy to taste in the mouth! In fact, I only hope that they can improve the problem! Although the experience is not very good. BUT I think I will come back and try it again. I hope there will be...
