Sushi Palax

When I moved to Hagerstown I did not expect there to be a good sushi restaurant. Sure there were…read moreChinese restaurants that offered sushi as a side thought but they were just that a side thought; skinny rolls, room temperature and just not what I was looking for For. I have been all over the state of Maryland looking for good sushi and guess what some of the best is right here in Hagerstown at Wasabi. The restaurant is always clean and the portions are always good sized. Reasonably priced, although they have gone up in the past couple years like everything else. The staff is always very kind and considerate. And I swear I've watched the one kid grow up from being a child at a table doing his homework to now he's the waiter. They are closed on Mondays which is unfortunate, but everybody needs a day off. I miss the days of green tea coming in the tea pot with a little cup. It comes in a coffee cup now in a teabag and it's nearly 3 dollars for a cup of tea but I can't stand drinking soda with Asian food it just doesn't mesh well. I recently tried sushi in Rockville and Baltimore just, because why not, and when my son and I went to wasabi last week we both started laughing when the food came out because the presentation was better and the flavor was better and the size was better and it was just all around better. I don't know what else to say. Oh did I mention that the restaurant always clean and the people are always super nice?

If you're up for a fresh low-key sushi joint, Wasabi is the place to go. Surprisingly, their fish…read moreis pretty fresh and I think the price point on all the dishes are quite solid whether you order spicy tuna rolls or a sashimi combination plate. The service was pretty solid and I would say that their non-sushi options are just as solid too. I'd definitely return.

If you're looking for a fast meal that feels a bit healthier than typical mall fast food, this is a solid option. I originally planned to get just chicken and beef, but they didn't have that combo, so I went with the chicken, beef, and shrimp combo instead. It was around $12.19 and honestly felt fair for the portion and variety. Flavor wise, it's not top tier Japanese food, but it's good, filling, and definitely a better choice compared to burgers or fried options nearby. For a quick mall stop, it gets the job done and I'd choose it again in the same situation.

A little girl (maybe middle schooler) takes my order and my family's orders. She was very polite and well mannered. Her mother came out and served us our food one by one, asking if there was anything else we needed. It seemed like she made the food as well. You could tell she was very hard working. The general tso chicken was a generous portion, glazed with sweet brown sauce, yet still crunchy (how I like it). The rice was mixed with pieces of pork, I never mind extra meat. The platter came with a very crunchy and large egg roll. As I finish eating my food I see an older man come into the store and say, "my wife needs soup, she is sick." I hear the mother in the kitchen, amidst the clanging of pots and hiss of steam typical of a kitchen, exclaim genuine worry and concern. The little girl asked the man questions about his wife's condition. If you are looking for cheap yet tasty chinese food, and great service, this is the top place.

The fried rice was absolutely tasteless. The cubed pieces of onion were barely cooked. Neither were the bean sprouts. I ate 2 spoons of it and tossed it. The chicken wings were overly cooked to the point they were hard. Even the meat of the wing was cooked hard. No review of the shrimp toast. It was for my mother and she didn't comment. However,she only ate 1 piece. This was a total waste of 50$ yes, 50$ for 2 SMALL fried rice, 4 fried wings, an order of shrimp toast and sweet and sour chicken, most of which went in the garbage.

They had a rich tonkotsu soup for the tonkotsu ramen and a salty miso flavor for the miso ramen. The soup in the miso ramen was a bit salty for me. The eggs were nicely cooked and flavored. The pork belly was nice and soft for the pork belly don but was a bit too salty. The cheesy tornado katsu bowl had mozzarella cheese on the side on the sauce and cheddar cheese under the egg. The sauce had a nice flavor like the ones for hamburger steak bowl. For this bowl and the katsu curry bowl, you can choose either pork or chicken katsu. The rice bowls come with a little bit of salad and miso soup. The container the miso soup came in was inconsistent. Sometimes it was the one time use container and other times it was in a small sauce bowl. Unfortunately they don't have smaller bowls other than the ramen bowls if you wanted to share food between people. The crème brûlée crepe cake was delicious. The interior of the restaurant was decorated beautifully. There is a large parking lot outside.
