The menu presented extensive and adventurous options that as first timers could have been intimidating but with the help of Donavin our delightful server, we selected the perfect seafood salad for the Mrs. and the curated selection of Maki (delicious sushi "tacos") that together made for the perfect share. Add to that a smooth Japanese beer and a surprisingly moderate overcast that made our dinner on the patio the perfect way to celebrate our first meeting 47 years ago. There were so many other tempting menu options that we'll look forward to sampling on our next for sure visit. Hopefully we will have the pleasure of having Donavin as our server even though our observation is that all the young people serving are helpful and gracious .

All his food was pretty good. The drinks were awful. My husband asked for a Vodka soda and was given a vodka tonic. At first we thought maybe the server heard wrong, but since the server wasn't around at all we walked it over to the bar ourselves and asked the bartender to remake it since the bar was completely empty (I mean not one soul) at 7:45 on a Saturday night. The second drink the bartender gave us was a vodka sprite. Maybe we should have specified soda means seltzer. Dinner bill for 3 adults and 2 kids was $250 plus tips. The food was decent but the service was underwhelming and subpar for spending that type of cash. Especially since the server seemed like anything we asked her was asking her to go out of her way. For example, we had to ask for straws, chopsticks, refills on water etc.

Wasabi on Fire is a great spot for birthdays and group dinners. The atmosphere is lively and fun,…read moreespecially if you're celebrating with a larger party. I highly recommend making a reservation. One thing I really appreciated was how accommodating the staff was since they had no problem storing the birthday cake we had with us and brought it out later for us to celebrate. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience even better. I ordered the Wassabi Teppan Dinner with Chilean Sea Bass that came with miso soup, sesame salad, and your ice cream flavor of choice. The bacon fried rice was easily my favorite part of the meal as it was savory and packed with flavor. It was my first time ordering the Chilean sea bass this visit, but it was a bit underwhelming. The fish itself was cooked well, but I wish it had more seasoning and a better char to bring out its flavor. I've had the steak entrée here on prior visits, and honestly, I'd choose the beef over the sea bass next time. One small critique is the vegetables that come with the meal since it included bean sprouts, which felt like a filler. I would've much preferred more of the sautéed vegetables they typically serve, like zucchini, carrots, and mushrooms. Overall, Wasabi on Fire is a fun, reliable place for celebrations with friends and family. The service and accommodating staff make it easy to come back, and there are definitely menu items worth returning for.

We come back again and again just for those, and we've even called in takeout orders when a craving hits. We also love the Poke Nachos, topped with generous chunks of sashimi, avocado, and jalapeños. The fries and poke nachos together are more than enough for two people to share for lunch, and for dinner we usually order one of their delicious rice bowls. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with a bar area featuring TVs, a separate dining room with high-top tables where the sushi bar is, and a back dining area with standard-height tables and chairs. There's also a beautiful patio overlooking a water fountain and courtyard, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal outdoors. If you're visiting Namikaze for the first time, the Loaded Otaku Fries are an absolute must-order!

So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.

There's another side to the restaurant that I believe is the teppanyaki side. Haven't experienced it yet since I've only come for lunch. I'm wondering if they get a lot of business since it's so barren when I go. Hoping they get enough business because I do enjoy this restaurant!
