All in all the rice and beef bulgogi were very tasty. The yakimandu was delicious. Normally I don't care or hot and sour soup, but it was very good. The kimchi and broccoli was tasty. The cucumber was fine. All the food I got along with water is just slightly over $22. Keep up the great work.

Oh well maybe next time

After scouring yelp for recommendations on somewhere to eat, we stumbled across Wasabi. It had…read moreexcellent reviews and we were in the mood for sushi. Wasabi didn't disappoint! It's located in a little strip mall, with a large parking lot. When we entered we were immediately greeted by two servers and allowed to choose our table. There were several booths and then tables in the middle. It's a smaller restaurant with about 10 tables. The menu has many options including sushi, noodles, kids menu, bento boxes, fried rice and more. We ordered the California roll, shrimp fried rice and chicken bento boxes. We got in on the lunch special for the bento box! The food arrived extremely fast with the sushi coming out first. Then a few minutes later the fried rice. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The bento boxes are the real show stopper. Tons of hot and fresh food. The chicken was so tender and juicy and was drenched in a delicious teriyaki sauce, it also included gyoza, sushi, fried rice and veggies. I would 100% order it again. If you're in ETown I would highly recommend this spot!

We came here for dinner and it is our first visit; 4 kids & 3 adults…read more Attentive staff. Young & new to the sushi concept, but it's central Kentucky, for goodness' sake. What do you expect - some Shinto shrine with a Taiko drum show? Anyway, Amelia, our waitress, was kind and helpful. The food was tasty overall, especially the fried rice & seaweed salad. The yellowtail had been on ice too long & while still good, lost a bit of its proper tang when truly fresh. Again - it wasn't spoiled but sashimi demands that crisp, fresh snap when you bite into it. The canned soda thing ... not a fan. Perhaps it's a cost thing but at least don't show cases of soda in view & along the path to the john. The shrimp tempura & spicy tuna rolls were solid winners, & our guest had never had miso soup or real sushi until this meal. She's very happy, and so are we. Like I said, overall it was a good meal. But sushi joints need a staff that's crackerjacking & knowledgeable about this experience. Hardin County in general and ETown in particular are growing fast. Places like Wasabi need to rise to that challenge & train that staff to be on the nose about the menu & the sushi experience in particular. The owner spoke with us as we left. Very kind and gracious lady. We'll be back. The kids loved the food AND the fish tank!

I went to Kansai for a birthday dinner and was extremely disappointed with the experience. It took…read moreabout 10 minutes just to get our drinks, but that wasn't even the biggest issue. For almost our entire meal, two children--who we were later told were the owner's kids--were on one side of the restaurant throwing a toy back and forth as hard as they could. This went on nonstop. At one point, the toy flew past our table and hit the wall. I was shocked that no one stepped in or asked them to stop, especially with customers trying to enjoy a meal that cost over $100. We mentioned our concerns to our waitress, who apologized and explained that the kids "usually don't do that when it's this busy." She did speak to the owner, and the kids finally stopped, but the owner never came over to apologize or acknowledge the situation at all. Between the slow service, the chaotic environment, and the complete lack of professionalism from management, this was a very disappointing experience. I won't be returning.

My wife ordered a bento-style meal, thinking it would be simple, but it even came with nigiri, which she really enjoyed. I wasn't sure what sushi to order, so I asked for the chef's recommendation, and it turned out great. The variety of toppings was impressive (like in the photos I added into the review), and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Definitely a very satisfying meal. The interior has a clean, modern feel, and I think it would be a great spot for a date as well. Also, I accidentally knocked over my water cup and made quite a mess, but our server handled it very kindly and quickly without any issue. Really appreciated the service. If you're in the E-town area, I'd definitely recommend you stopping by. Great food and a great experience overall.

Just attempted to give them another chance today and was refused to be seated because they "had a large group" occupying four tables... will not be back

I got one that said it came with "pink sauce" our server wasn't sure what it was and came back and told me it had grenadine and sugar in it? I ordered it anyway and was very surprised when it had neon green goo all over it. It looked like something out of ghost busters. It was still good despite the unappetizing look of it. Not sure I'd go back.
