Fantastic food, amazing service and such a fun atmosphere! If you're looking for someplace to get sushi in the NW burbs look no further than bistro wasabi. It's been around for years and, in my experience, is always an instant favorite whenever I bring someone new here!

Yang and Li are the hardest working servers, period. The food is always delicious and Yang’s martinis are absolutely THE BEST! No joke! We go at least twice a week and there is a reason - outstanding service and delicious food. They are short staffed so it’s tough when they are busy - especially when Yang is always double-hatting as the bartender. Please give them some grace and make sure you treat the staff well as they deserve it!

Food was good as always. The service is challenged it appears due to staffing issues. While our server was working incredibly hard, it was 25-30 minutes to receive our cocktails and longer for the appetizer (edamame). BW struggles during busy hours so plan on longer than normal wait times. We like the food and will continue to support this business.

Bistro Wasabi is a superb!!! The food is so fresh and tasty. We celebrated my 7 year old's golden birthday and the staff certainly made the evening special for him. The appetizers, soup, salads, entrees, sushi and dessert all hit the spot.

The maki was good but overpriced. The entrees were not very exciting and the presentation was lacking. We’ve been to the other location and enjoyed it much more. The service was not the greatest. We had to keep asking for everything and they were out of the items in their specialty drinks which was disappointing. Portions were not the best.

Service was very slow. It took 2 requests to get the check after waiting a long time for the table to be cleared. What’s the point of making a reservation for a special birthday dinner, if you going to be treated like a casual diner. Very disappointed! Used to be our favorite restaurant.

Went on my first date with my husband here, We got engaged here. We used to be enamored with the food! We haven’t been here since Covid…. But clearly it has affected the quality of service and food! Our server took our order and spent 10 minutes talking to the table next to us about Mall of America and Chanel with our order in her hand… frustrating! Not the restaurant’s fault but the table next to us had a cell phone on with a bullhorn sound for every text… interrupting our conversation, tables are close together so having a private conversation felt difficult.. then we got the food… TERRIBLE… the Salmon texture was overcooked mushy and fishy, the pan fried noodles with chicken… NOT GOOD! Noodles were lacking flavor and overcooked, the chicken was well done… lifeless and overcooked! Disappointed that a place meant so much to us has declined! Needless to say we came home on Valentine’s Day and made dinner after spending $100 for food we considered inedible.

The food was absolutely delicious... Best I have had in a very long time. The King Kong sushi was big enough to feed both my wife and me. Servers were working their tail off as they are critically understaffed but we didn't feel neglected or unserved. Make this a stop on your food journey. When I got the bill I was surprised at the size.... I thought they forgot to charge us for something but it is super affordable.

Service was sub-par, slow and inattentive, and we were constantly looking for our waiter to re-fill drinks and water. Someone else brought out our food and no one ever came by the table to ask how it tasted or if we needed anything. Then, to our absolute astonishment, we were asked by the manager to vacate the table because "someone was waiting for this table and had a reservation". We had cleared the check and were finishing our drinks. My guest and I both looked at each other in complete shocking dismay! Who does that?! Probably will NEVER return. Cannot recommend this restaurant.
