    Excellent traditional Japanese food. Always consistent with good menu and good service. The Papaya with crab meat and soft shell crab tempura are amazing.

    Our third time here and it never disappoints! The food and service are always outstanding! We enjoyed tempura, salmon tataki, sushi rolls, pineapple sake & mochi ice cream for dessert. A must visit when you’re in Waikiki.

    Love this place! Have come here two years in a row. All the sushi and other Japanese food is great. The atmosphere is kind of retro—mainly because of motel you have to walk through to get to it—which is fun. Real find!

    This is our go-to restaurant for Japanese food when we are in Honolulu. Small restaurant, very accommodating with great service. Not crazy about their beer and wine by the glass selections but the food is fresh and well prepared. Highly recommend.

    Delicious sushi prepared by Ono, our charming sushi chef. Loved sitting @ the Sushi bar & watching the artistic preparation. My husband said it was the best sushi he’d ever had. Juan was our attentive server & arranged for an earlier seating as requested. All in all, a delightful & delicious evening.

    Enjoyed the restaurant style and locaiton. Best sushi I've had outside of Japan. We were seated at the only table with a plexi-glass barrier and the glare was a bit distracting. I assume this was to somehow protect from the spread of germs, but I fail to understand what good it can be doing on its own.

    Chose this for an anniversary dinner, glad we did. The food and service were excellent! We started with several appetizers. One was a special of the day (spicy edamame), vegetable tempura and grilled squid - all fantastic. For the meal my wife ordered the signature baked scallop special and added a miso soup. I ordered the hamachi wasabi carpaccio. I enjoyed the scallop special but loved the carpaccio! I will definitely return on our next trip to Oahu and highly recommend!

    The black cod was sooooo good but everything we ate was great! We ordered the sake sampler and it was neat truly seeing the difference in taste between your 3 samples. We got the miso soup, spicy bigeye tuna, miso eggplant and pork gyoza as well. If I lived here I’d come back again and again!

    Thank you. We have been coming to Wasabi for many years, and have seen quite a change in the past few years, but still enjoy it. My husband was disappointed that the Katsu curry was no longer on the menu, as that is one of his favourites.

    What a little gem, hidden in a small hotel. A friend told me about it, and I’m so thankful. The food is very fresh and well made. Everything tasted wonderful. The service was excellant - our waiter was great at making suggestions when we asked without trying to up sell or pressure you. Will definitely go back before we return home.
