The sushi and sashimi are of high quality, but I am confused with why a legitimate Japanese restaurant wouldn’t use real wasabi. Instead, Elite Five serves horse radish dyed with food color. I think it is a terrible decision by the management. Hopefully real wasabi will be served from now on. Thanks!

Haven't been to Elite Five since the pandemic started. It was very busy with customers and the only issue we had was at the start of the meal. The gyoza came out ice cold and we returned it. The second time it came out it was luke warm and the pork was raw... They took it back. Our main orders were great and they gave us a desert on the house. Just didn't expect that the chef's would actually plate cold dumplings, uncooked for the customers. hope it doesn't happen again
