The restaurant was very chic and stylish, with a relaxed and casual ambiance. I was happy that it served ramen as well as sushi and Thai dishes. It was snowing outside so it was the perfect weather for ramen. We also ordered Drunken Noodles and a sushi trio of shrimp tempura, chicken tempura, and lobster fest. The Spicy Ramen was decent and was a decent portion for the price. The broth was seasoned well enough and the noodles were a great consistency. For me, it was around a 7/10. The Druken Noodles was ok, and was more sweet than spicy. I personally wasn't a fan and felt that it was blander than others I've had. It was around a 5/10. The sushi trio wasn't too bad. I enjoyed the Lobster Fest but wasn't happy that it was an additional $3. The Chicken Tempura and Shrimp Tempura were standard, and nothing to really differentiate it from other places I've had it at. Overall, it was around a 7/10. Overall, this was a good spot with decent food, although the prices are much steeper than Queens and Long Island. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area looking for some good ramen or craving some Asian food.

I come here SO often. This place helped me discover my love for sushi. The staff is so polite and helpful. They take the time to remember your face when you come in to make conversation. I haven't been able to find a place with better sushi (in & out of town). Hands down best sushi I've ever had!

amazing ppl they granted us an amazing experience and for my daughters birthday gifted her a lemon ice tea
Forever mine and my husbands favorite spot for date night. Always delicious, well priced and never have to wait for a table. The new location is beautiful and the staff is as wonderful as ever.

Very happy with Mr. Wasabi. Price is very reasonable and the fish is super fresh. Very good to come here with a large party and get a sushi boat or platter. Quality over quantity here for sure. I don't really like the all you can eat places because the quality isn't there. Mr. Wasabi is very fresh and generous portions . Staff here is always quick and friendly as well. The parking is tough because ...you know, Union St. But that's not really their fault.
Should I go right ahead and say, stick to the sushi, not the ramen or the tempura? Well there's more to it than this. Our first time here didn't go well: 1) vegetable tempura was uneven (some overcooked and some undercooked & shrimp tempura had a different batter than the rest on the plate and also didn't have the crisp); 2) the tonkatsu ramen had several issues (the broth tasted significantly watered down, the kikurage mushrooms listed on the menu were nowhere to be found, and the egg that should have been seasoned was poached and unseasoned); and 3) the waitstaff didn't check on us once between setting our food on the table and our asking for a cheque (which is why we didn't get to share feedback on our visit until before we were ready to leave). The head chef was gracious and apologetic about our experience, and we soon went back and ordered a few sushi rolls. The complimentary white truffle white tuna was delicious, and all the rolls were ace. I especially liked the Hawaiian roll with salmon that had a little bit of sweet chili dressing on top, which was such a nice touch. Mysteriously though, the waitstaff still didn't check on us until we asked for a cheque. We were literally the only ones dining in at the time, not that it's ever a reason for this to happen. In the end, I would go back for their sushi and I hope they keep improving.

Have been going to Mr. Wasabi for over a decade. Tonight's dinner was not up to scratch. The "scallops" were sliced into quarters and incredibly thin. I feel this is disingenuous to the diner that's paying extra for six scallops, receiving less than two. The sauces and dressings on our mains were bland. The salad greens seemed wilted. As I've only had one other negative experience here, it pains me to write this but I felt other diners spending hard earned money should be aware. Our meals were not worth the cost and there are far better sushi restaurants in the area.

This restaurant is the most consistent Asian restaurant in the entire Schenectady area! Plus they have the most comprehensive menu. As with all speciality dishes, they are rather pricey but their sushi rolls and speciality rolls are very reasonable and some of the best tasting in the area. Delivery is always timely and everything that's hot is still hot. We're glad we found you!
