I have been coming to Wasabi for many years. Each experience is different.
I always go to the hibachi section as I enjoy the meals you can get. I could live on that ginger salad dressing. It is so good. If someone knows if you can buy it, let me know!
The price tag for the amount of food you get is not bad at all. $18-$20 might seem expensive for your basic chicken, but you get so much with it. You get onion soup, a salad, noodles, veggies, steamed rice (or a heap of fried rice for $2 extra), and even some shrimp. Not to mention you can get a bunch of sake or vodka from the chef squirted into your mouth if that's your sort of thing. I like how they've started doing lemonade for the kids so they don't feel left out.
I will say that there is a lot of butter and oil used in cooking. What makes me happy about coming here is that even if I decide to do the hibachi, I can get it cooked in the back without butter or oil while still getting to watch the show.
There is one discrepancy that did occur on one of my last visits, my father took me out for my birthday last year and they put us with the other people table and automatically tacked on the 18% gratuity as you would for a party of 8. That wasn't ok. We were not a part of the larger party and we were grouped as such. I have no issues with the 18% if we were in the proper party, but there was just 4 of us. I would be sure to check your receipt to make sure that doesn't happen.
Wasabi is a classic in my book and I will keep coming back.
