Wasabi of Mount Pleasant — Restaurant in Mount Pleasant

we take grandkids to wasabi in Mt P a couple times a year. They go to the nine in DI a lot so they know the menu. Last time we were there we had a great meal and experience. This time it was a total different story.

My husband ordered hot black tea and the waitress returned and told us they were all out of black tea. Apparently, ownership has changed and they are working through supply issues. So she encouraged green tea and when it came, it was disgusting. Unlike any green tea I’ve ever seen. m I ordered an Asian pear salad with grilled shrimp. The kids had bento boxes and my husband had pad Thai. when we got our meals, mine was missing. The waitress said they accidentally gave my meal to somebody else but that they would fix me another one. So by the time everybody else was done with their meal my dinner arrived. I told her to put it in a to go bag and i would take it home. Of course they took it off the menu. In terms of the quality of the food, my husband‘s pad Thai was dry and not very tasty. the California rolls were very heavy rice and very little avocado. The only meal that was really good was my grandson’s teriyaki chicken. We did have an excellent shrimp appetizer. The waitress did her best but it’s hard to cover up kitchen mistakes although she tried as did the GM.

So tonight I decided to eat my Asian pear salad and when I opened it up, I realized there were no pears and it was not an Asian pear salad. It was a salad with onions. Really disappointing. We will not go back...

I have to edit my review now after all these years. I feel the food quality has really gone down hill and I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the lack of workers maybe it’s lack of motivation… Anyway I ordered pad Thai for the first time in a little while and they completely changed the recipe. It almost was like eating stir fry noodles instead of pad Thai. There was no more tangy or nutty flavor, it was so greasy I honestly feel sick now. (The grease was literally leaking out!) not only that but I ordered the lunch portion and they charged me for the dinner portion but gave me lunch portion. And it wasn’t even what pad Thai should taste like. What were once my favorite sushi rolls, although are still better than grocery store tier, completely lack their usual flavors and feel bland. The wait times have only increased inside the restaurant, and my order has constantly been wrong especially when ordering online for take out. The prices keep rising and the food just isn’t worth it to me anymore. Now they even charge for using a credit card. It’s sad but I think anyone who reads this review is better off going to the Daniel Island location which has never disappointed me the 15 plus years...

Wasabi in Mount Pleasant is located in a shopping center with plenty of parking all around. I went twice this week and had no trouble finding a spot either time. They open at 11:30 Tuesday through Sunday. When you walk in, the restaurant is clean and inviting. There’s a sushi bar to the right, a dining and bar area to the left, and outdoor patio seating as well. I think there’s also a larger dining room connected to the sushi bar side. The place has a nice atmosphere with stylish and colorful accents that make it feel lively and modern.

The staff were all friendly and attentive, from the host to the servers. I had the house ramen bowl and it was fantastic—pork belly, egg, mushrooms, and noodles in a rich flavorful broth. I also tried the vegetarian spring rolls and the rock shrimp tempura, which came in a creamy spicy sauce. Everything I ordered was great.

They have a full bar and also serve boba tea, which is a fun bonus. The menu has a ton of options including sushi, sashimi, hibachi, Thai dishes, and even brunch items. Overall it’s a really nice spot with good food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. I’ll...
