Wasabi Roll & Ramen Bar — Restaurant in Lakewood

Wassup, Wasabi!

Lunch time & Wasabi Japanese Grill seemed a good local spot to hit up. Wasabi offers teriyaki bowls, tempuro, udon, yakisoba and other items, but my foodie Geiger counter blipped solely for a sushi roll.

Red Bull roll (California roll with spicy tuna & eel sauce) Ask me why this is named Red Bull roll, and I'll say "I dunno". The thought did cross my mind if Red Bull was used as an ingredient. I'd imagine all the college kids would go bonkers for this. Oh wait, I just thought of something even better! Alcohol-infused sushi rolls. Yup, that would be the next big thing. Think White Russian Roll, Irish Car Bomb roll. Anyhoo, the Red Bull roll was a typical roll. The eel sauce had a sweetness to it, which didn't overpower the spicy tuna that much. Unfortunately, salad or miso soup is an extra dollar. I'm used to places like Yasai throwing those in for free. Still, not bad.

Spend $7+, get a spin on the Wheel o' Wasabi! Winner! Winner! I won a free can of soda!

What I thought was a nice touch, were the free WiFi, laptops & Playstation PSP's available to partake of.

Fair amount of seating to dine in, the service was helpful with a minor wait for my food. Parking is in a private lot, anchored by Albertson's.

Wasabi Japanese Grill is a decent lunch spot, across the street from Lakewood Mall. Not a destination place, for sure, but a good option if you're in the area & are trying to avoid the Taco Smell's & Jack in the Crack's of the...

"I would have to say? First of all, I didn't know that the original owners sold their establishment? So I decided to try the new owner way of preparing the sushi 🍣 & with a new name of the business? Now, I haven't been eating sushi for a long time, and I never had any one introduced me to new experiences in the sushi world 🍣, and I really enjoy some good sushi 🍣 with a nice cold beer, and lately, I have been trying sushi from a few different places, even the buffets that serves seafood 🦞, but I would honestly have to say that this is the best sushi that I have had so far in my sushi mission, very fresh and a humble staff is a plus, and it also reminds me of ceviche,a excellent seafood raw style Mexican dish, and that was the first time I ate sushi and said, now that reminds me of ceviche, even though I new the similar raw traditional simmerlarites

Anyway, don't take my word,try it for yourself and you be the judge...

This is my first time here. I got the Unagi Roll and Redbull Roll and for the price I paid I was satisfied.

Pros: they have a large variety of different rolls, they make it quick. seems like a place I could go to for a quick sushi fix. the sushi was decent but not the best I've had. and I didn't get sick.

Cons: the staff wasn't too friendly but I'm not there to make friends. I assumed the staff spoke little English which might explain why they seem unfriendly. The bathroom isn't the cleanest but at least it didn't smell bad. it's not a restaurant with a server, it's more like a fast food take out kinda place but I didn't mind that because it was a quick in and out and I was on a time limit.

Overall, I liked it and next time I want a quick sushi fix i'm going to try the other rolls that I was eyeballing...
