Food at Wasabi Japanese Restaurant

Wasabi Japanese Restaurant, located on State Street in Madison, offers a diverse range of Japanese cuisine, including sushi and seafood dishes. Known for its convenient features, the restaurant takes reservations, provides delivery and takeout services, and accepts credit cards. Catering to a range of diners, it is both kid-friendly and good for groups, and it also caters with a casual dress code and moderate noise level. Guests can choose to sit outdoors and enjoy free Wi-Fi; however, only beer and wine are available.

The consistency and quality of sushi here have been lauded by some visitors, though recent feedback varies, with service receiving mixed reviews. There are glowing mentions of Chef Ken's personable approach at the bar, providing a warm touch to the dining experience. The restaurant seems to attract a youthful staff, perhaps influenced by its college-town setting. However, be mindful that reviews include critiques about the speed and efficiency of service during busier times in the past.

Open seven days a week, Wasabi offers two separate dining blocks most weekdays and extended evening hours on weekends. While the general atmosphere is casual, street parking and bike parking are accessible for those traveling to the venue. Please note that reviews are dated, and unfortunately, there hasn't been recent communication from the management providing updates on any changes or improvements since then.

Best sushi in Madison, hands down! Consistently good for over 20 years. Chef Ken is incredibly nice, I recommend sitting at the bar if you can and talk to him. He's a bit quiet but is very approachable. Yes, the staff is mostly college kids, that's what you get in a college town, but I thought they were very nice as well.

Absolutely ABYSMAL service. They had one waiter for like 15 tables. He was clearly inexperienced / looked 19. There were zero sushi chefs staffing the sushi bar. I managed to peek into the kitchen from my seating area and it looked chaotic. I didn't get a chance to try their food because after 30 minutes of waiting for very basic sushi rolls, I wasn't served. Certainly won't be returning.
$$$$ Price range per person $11-$30
