I’ve been to wasabi several times and the servers are always friendly, and the sushi is very good. It’s quality sushi and delivered quickly, and the specials are interesting.
When Oysters are in season, they are gorgeous! The shells are cleaned out so beautifully that...you can practically take them home and make a necklace out of them. And the flavors they use with the oysters are on point. The oysters on this visit were exceptional!
This time, however, there was a bit of a misstep with my sushi order and the Toro.
Let’s start with the sushi. It was the crawfish roll and there was mango on top. And the mango was not ripe. In fact, it was hard. And difficult to eat. I had to keep pulling the mango out of my mouth to aggressively chew it, because it was not ripe. And so the overall roll experience was disappointing.
And I love Toro, but when this came, it didn’t seem like the usual Toro. It was cut in a square, which was unusual, and Toro normally is so soft that it just falls apart, and this just was not. It was good, but it wasn’t the typical gorgeous, very soft, toro that I’m accustomed to. I’m not saying that it was bad, or the flavor was bad, but it wasn’t excellent, and when I order Toro, I expect excellence. The price tag certainly demands excellence!
I will be back, but this particular experience was just less than ideal due to the unripe mango and the Toro that was a bit more chewy than I am accustomed to.More
