Wasabi — Restaurant in New York

I came in on a monday at midday for lunch, place was about 80% capacity with only 1 wait staff. I understand being packed but I waited for 3 minutes standing at the door before being led to a table to sit (there were still a few tables empty). Another 2 minutes before a ChaoShan noodles menu was placed in front of me. Another 5 minutes after for the waitress to come and ask if I was ready to order. Where is my drink? Had to tell it to her instead of being asked, then told her what I wanted to order from the sushi menu instead of the noodle menu. Was told she is not very familiar with that menu. I get this place is being shared by two businesses, but being the only waitstaff surely you wouldn’t be so selfish as to only know your own menu in the whole place? I ordered the lunch special 3 rolls. Very easy concept to learn, it says any three roll, comes with soup or salad. She left right after I said that combo. I called her back and said I can pick my rolls right? She said no it’s listed here that its set already and pointed to another part of the menu. So I read the combo set and it says clearly ANY. Ok, then I place my 3 rolls, and she runs off before I can say whether I want the soup or accompanying salad. So I wait, get it in front of me, then tell her she missed my soup. Get it, and by this point I’m assuming its the owners’ kid, just crawls up to my table, leans against it, then slides the soy sauce bottle across the table before I could ask for it, all while mumbling under his breath. This service is unacceptable. I can here for SUSHI from WASABI SUSHI, not noodle shop. I get maybe all staff here is from the noodle part, but you are still getting paid. Act the part. Food was also barely passable, no way you can mess up rolling up food with rice on seaweed paper, while portion size was small to the point you would believe they were taking it out of their paycheck directly or something. Unbelievable. And I used to have fond memories of this place. Never coming again. Soup also...

Nothing special about this place. So my wife suggests, one night, to go to this place. Since she is from the neighborhood, I figure what the hell. She had been hounding me for days about how bad she wanted to go because of how good the food was. As mentioned above, nothing is really special than any other sushi I've been to. Food was good, not gonna lie. However in the process of leaving this review, my wife and I were reading some of the bad reviews about how people had gotten sick from the food. As I'm reading she says she believes that on a few occasions she also got sick not to mention other times where the food tasted like chemicals. So overall I give my luck a 5 star review since I ate there twice and I'm not dead. I give the restaurant a 3 star rating because we'll nothing special to report. I give my wife a 2 star review for the failed attempts on my...

Went here once after doctor's checkup @ clinic across the street for lunch.

Sadly, not a lot of people come here (or when I was there at least.) Fish and rice were amazing. (AYCE) Quiet/ambient environment. No complaints about staff, nothing to say either.

Compared to Sake (amazing but overhyped) , Wasabi has: -bigger slices of fish!!!! (I enjoy greater fish:rice ratios, and rice fills you up too quickly.) -a more flavored miso soup??? and salads. -extremely generous in avocado. Dragon roll ftw. -small portions for some dishes, but it's AYCE anyway.

Only complaint: tuna and fluke were still cold, tuna felt rubbery/fishy, but the store had just opened. And tuna/fluke isn't that popular. Bad day perhaps? Greatly recommend people to try this place out...
