Wasabi 88 is easily the best sushi in Greenville North Carolina! The traditional rolls are fresh and delicious but even their non-traditional tempura like Wasabi blossom roll are amazing! The crab Rangoon almost needs a review of its own because with the sweet chili sauce it's my favorite menu item! Fresh blue crab (not the imitation stuff) and the serving is enough for two people! Thursday buy one get one free sushi is just the cherry on top! read more

Save your money and strongly consider another place. Came back as now under new ownership but it's no better. They put my cooked roll and RAW roll in the same box - pretty sure that's a health code violation - and the seasoning from the 88 roll then was all over the rainbow roll. When I called to inquire I was told to ask for separate boxes next time. The Mongolian shrimp was fishy and the sauce was out of the flimsy box and in the bag by the time I got home. No soy and just a tiny hint of wasabi. Never thought I had to ask for a raw roll to be boxed alone... read more

The place is lovely, nice ambiance. The waitress and host were very nice. I asked basic questions like, "What's in the cucumber salad?" The waitress said she didn't know. She had never served it. Then she asked if I wanted to order it. I told her I don't know what's in it. She continued with cucumbers and she thought a vinaigrette. I asked her who there would know? She went to ask. Then I asked "does the Pho come with basil, jalapeños, and sprouts?" She said she was new and didn't know. So she went to ask. I told her well you need to study the menu because you're offering this food to people. Once that was all mangled up, I have to say that the fried spring rolls were tasty. The house salad was fresh and crispy with the best ginger dressing. (I bought a pint to take home!) I passed on the Pho because they told me it didn't come with basil or jalepenos and I couldn't imagine Pho being served without them., only sprouts. I went for the Singapore Rice Noodles. The picture was beautiful, the presentation was a blob on a plate. The taste was unseasoned rice noodles. No taste whatsoever. No garlic. No curry taste. I could taste the egg. I asked for the seasoning to add to it and was able to get down half of it. I rank it a 3 because the place looks nice and the wait staff was pleasant, but the food was way under seasoned. I'd go back only to buy more ginger sauce. I drive 1 hour to eat there so this trip was a bust. read more

The food was very bland and overpriced for what it is. Such a shame, because the atmosphere is very nice. The sushi rolls were not rolled tightly, causing them to fall apart easily. It had been a few years since we've been here and we weren't impressed with the sushi back then, this time gave it a second go with their cooked food and we weren't impressed with either. No hurry to return. read more

My review in November still stands. We tried it again. Same experience. SLOW service. No setup's - instead cocktail napkins. Sushi was MEH and the staff very unconcerned about the customers. We will not be back. read more

Been here a few times with very nice experiences. Tonight was a bit different. Not great service at the bar and waitstaff should really not be vaping inside. We asked for napkins to eat our food and they brought us cocktail napkins. Odd. read more

My FAVORITE restaurant in Greenville, NC! The BEST fresh sushi and Singapore noodles. The menu is huge! And the staff is kind. The owner is phenomenal! We've met him several times now. We go there for my birthday & our anniversary every year. We have never had a single issue. Great ambiance! They just renovated and it's gorgeous. My favorite date night restaurant. read more

This place always full whenever I drive by at night so I finally give it a try. I didn't try sushi but seems like sushi is their best food from reading review. Their menu is so diverse. I was surprise how they can keep it up. Regular entree that we order tasted good surprisingly but not top notch. Noddles was soggy. After 8pm, crowd started to quiet down so service was pretty attentive. I would try their sushi next time read more

We placed a take-out order for Fire Chicken, Chicken Pad Thai, and Hibachi Chicken. Unfortunately, all three dishes were disappointing. The Fire Chicken was severely overcooked and had no heat or "fire" to it at all. The Chicken Pad Thai was even worse -- not only was the chicken overcooked, but the entire dish had an unpleasant, fishy taste that made it inedible. Lastly, the Hibachi Chicken followed the same trend, with dry, overcooked chicken. For the price we paid, we expected far better quality. This was our first time ordering here, and unfortunately, it will also be our last. read more

This place is okay not great. I only get the sushi here and that's what my review is based on. It seems that they do a decent job putting the sushi and or rolls together. The cuts of fish isn't the best or the worst. My yellowtail sushi looked ok and the taste was fishy. Usually yellowtail is buttery and delicious. The salmon sushi was the star of my order and that was pleasing. The tuna sushi was the smallest cut of fish that I've seen them provide. The rolls were good. I chose a staff contest winner roll and one of their standard menu sushi rolls. It was buy a roll and get a roll free. The server was friendly and it's nice inside. It's just not my favorite sushi house in Greenville. I'll come here on Mondays if I crave fish and when my favorite sushi house is closed on Mondays. Till next time.... read more

Wasabi 88 - Poke Bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

I sat at the bar and received great service. I had the spicy crab salad and the Lo Mein dish. Both were fantastic. Can't wait to go back.

Stood in the lobby waiting to be seated for ten minutes. The hostess seemed confused and overwhelmed. She took my party and another party together (and we were confused why we even waited as there were plenty of empty tables once we entered) then she paused by an empty table. No one in my party was sure if we were to sit down or not so we ended up watching her take the other party to the other end of the restaurant to seat them while we stood by the table unsure if we were to sit, then she returned to confirm it was our table. Our waiter's name was Adam. Immediately got the vibe that he didn't want to be there. I was taken back (per usual) that a Japanese restaurant had no idea what shrimp sauce was. No I don't want mayo, no I don't want bang bang sauce, no I don't want chili sauce, no I don't want soy sauce. So after explaining for 5 straight minutes what shrimp sauce is, I ended up getting some kind of spicy sauce and one refill on water. Food was bland, sushi was the only redeeming quality. I ordered teriyaki chicken. Very bland. Definitely thought the menu mentioned served over steamed vegetables, but I had nothing but bell peppers and a couple bites of zucchini. Ordered with fried rice and couldn't figure out if it was actually fried or just brown rice. Would like to try again but I was not impressed with my first visit. read more

Cannot say enough good stuff about this place! Sabrina was our waitress and she did a great job. She had some good recommendations of what foods we needed to try and her recommendations were right. she was very polite and very friendly. We talked about her the whole way home. I can honestly say she was one of the best waitresses we've ever had. This world needs more people like her. read more

Food & Ambiance very good. Server was good. The the best ever that I've ever experienced, but certainly worth a visit.

This establishment is very poorly run. It seems as though they are not staffed properly. One girl was super friendly, knew what she was doing and was on top of her game. At one point she had three tables at once being sat. She greeted them right away and came back to us with our bill. To no surprise, it got very busy and not one person on staff helped to bus tables or provide help. Aside from our waitress, everyone looked miserable and we even saw one girl roll her eyes. Management and owners should be embarrassed about their staff. Get with it! read more

Food excellent, atmosphere excellent, service excellent. I go there every other month. The Singapore rice Noodle is top. Sushi is top. I have a great relationship with the owner who owns several restaurants around town read more

I needed brown rice so bad and this was the only restaurant that had it. There was a guy working the front counter who was so so helpful and got me my brown rice. I didn't catch your name but if you know who was working 6/2/2024, he deserves a raise. read more

I love this place! My husband and I started coming here a few months ago. The sushi is great and I love the decor. The last three times we've eaten here we've had the same server (Adam) and the service he has provided has been excellent. I like the teriyaki chicken, the Greenville roll, and the sampler platter. We will definitely keep coming back! read more

Omg so good. Our new sushi spot! The Greenville roll had just the perfect amount of spicy that we like. Wish they had some sort of deep fried spicy crab roll, it was the only thing missing read more

Absolutely horrible! I ate there 18 years ago before they moved to Firetower. I bragged to my wife how good it was and we drove 2 hours to eat there. It was pitiful. The restaurant smelled like dirty mop water and the food was so salty it was inedible. The service was not horrible but severely disjointed and untimely. read more

Called in for a takeout order and could not have received better service. Ellie answered and could not have been more helpful. She suggested I order the Greenville sushi and the Dave Mira and both might possibly be the best thing I have put in my mouth. An excellent creation in the world of sushi and truly a little slice of heaven right here in Greenville North Carolina. You know it's good judging by the photo. Great food even better customer service. read more

Wasabi 88 - the contents of a meal left on a table - Sushi Bars Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

Best sushi I've had in a while. Loved the two for one roll. Service was great. Restaurant is in need of a makeover though.

Well, my son eats here once in awhile so him and his fiancé took us here when we came in for a visit. Eat at a lot of Asian places and this was just terrible. Took forever to get food, waitress brought the wrong meals out for two people ( brought orange chicken instead of sesame beef and didn't know the different. Food was lukewarm when it came, lamest sushi rolls I've had in a long time. I've ordered literally hundreds of spider rolls and this was the absolute lamest. Ditto on the Rainbow Roll. Sushi was all dry on top and both rolls were especially tiny. read more

The hold that the Wasabi Blossom roll has on me is unmatched. We usually get takeout from here but decided to dine in one day and we're definitely glad we did. The server was so friendly and we tried the 88 Philly buns which were actually really good. Loved that the buns come seperate so they dont get soggy and the beef had a really good flavor to it. Our favorite sushi spot in town by far read more

One of the best sushi places in Greenville and you can't beat BOGO rolls Monday- Thursday. The bombshell is one of our favorites! definitely worth a try. read more

Came through here on my way back into town and just had to leave a review! Not only was the food great but the service was fantastic! The young man who served us Tristin went above and beyond making sure we were taken care of! Was super polite and made us feel like important customers! Will definitely be returning! read more

Love love this place! Our wait person, Tracey is awesome! He's very attentive and kind. He waited on us the past 2 times we dined in. The food is good and the drinks are delish! My fav, white peach sangria! I visit here everyone in in town. read more

We ate here last night and first impressions were great. The waiter we got however was missing the key factors to a great service. I also believe he wasn't having the best day. He tried to hand me my food and dropped the rest of the food on the floor. He did however manage all the things we needed. Drink refills we a tad bit of a struggle, mainly because we just couldn't find our waiter. The lo mein is not something I recommend unless you want heavy sauced lo mein. I'm not sure if it was just the cook that night. The dish definitely had potential. The chicken did we got was fabulous. Little too sweet, very well balanced with the rice. read more

Great sushi. I got the junk in the trunk hands down best sushi in g-Vegas. Awesome service by my girl Molly. Awesome place

Service was not at all good, I had heard good things about the food but never got the chance to eat there because servers will just look at you, like if I'm supposed to serve myself. Will not be coming back and DO NOT RECOMMEND! One place I would recommend would be Tokyo Japanese Restaurant on south memorial dr so friendly and fast with getting you situated unlike this place. read more

Good service and the food is very good as well. The Sashimi is very fresh and the prices are reasonable.

I feel like giving this so called restaurant more that one star is very unacceptable! My friends and I decided to have our girls dinner at wasabi 88 on 1/26/24. We were seated by our waiter/bartender Tyler at 6:27 pm who was pleasant initially. We placed our orders at 6:47pm, we were even waiting on one more friend, she placed her order when she arrived at 7pm. So as of 7 pm all appetizers and orders had been placed. Our appetizers came about 7:15pm. While waiting for our food, our waiter (Tyler) was bartending. We kept getting his attention and asking what was taking out order so long. He would come over and tell us that he was checking the status of our food. Mind you other customers were coming in, getting their food before us, and leaving, and while we're still waiting for our food. Our food was finally brought to our table a whole entire hour later! Clearly it doe not take a whole entire hour to make dishes for 4 people. The service was totally unacceptable! The floors and the bathroom was disgusting. I should have checked the sanitization score. This establishment is not the same as it was years ago. You're better off going to Japan Inn that has sushi rolls buy one get one, and better service. They have paper towels holding the table up. (see pic) It also had a foul odor, like old mop water. When we asked Tyler what could be done to correct this issue and this long wait, he said " Nothing" in a very disrespectful tone and manner. If you were supposed to be a bartender then focus on that, but we feel that he dropped the ball on our order while he was bartending. Horrible restaurant, horrible customer service, and horrible setting. read more

Wasabi 88 - Dirty!!! They have the tables propped up with a papertowel...so unsanitary - Sushi Bars Near Me - Greenville, North Carolina

a small group of colleagues and I started a weekly dinner meet, and last night we chose to come to Wasabi 88 for dinner. The food was fine! HOWEVER, after we paid our bill, tipped our WAITRESS and started to leave a random MALE server CHASED US OUT THE PARKINGLOT RAISING HIS VOICE!? WOW!?!!! Who we've n seen embarrassed only your restaurant, but your own CUSTOMERS!!! By asking for tips so the bar can make money??? When we never visited the bar.... my partner and my bill was over $100 and our tip OVER %20 represented that. So even tho it wasn't directed to my partner and I specifically, it was people in our groups and we will NEVER bring anyone we know here because NOONE deserves to be embarrassed if they didn't tip over 20% after spending hard earned money. Our table spent well over a few hundred dollars I mean come on, who trains servers to harass and ask other tables for money?? read more

We had a great experience for our first visit!!! Taylor was our server, and did an amazing job! The food was excellent, and the rest of the staff checked on us as well. We are definitely going back! The drinks were great too! read more

I've been here a few times to get the BOGO sushi. Those are super delish! I would definitely try a different sushi overtime you go because they all each have their own flavor. However the only reason I am not giving it a five stars is because for once I tried to eat something besides sushi. I got pad thai and it was NOT and I repeat NOT good whatsoever. It didn't even look like pad thai. I mean where was the peanuts? If you are going here you should only get their sushi. Trust me. read more

We were there last night and after we closed the place down, we were standing out chatting and out of the blue one of the servers came out and asked about the food and service. Everyone said it was wonderful and he stated that with our combine tips we didn't all top 20%. Then he went on and on about it embarrassing himself even more. What server does that. Of course we complained to the manager who apologized and said he would "talk to him" about it. The tip was well over 30 bucks and most of it was alcohol. This is what keeps people away from places smh. read more

Probably one of the best sushi joints in Greenville. Buy one get one free Monday-Friday. The servers are all really nice and professional. The sushi outshines they regular meals here. The Volcano is a good option. The other meals are kind of "meh". The General Lee isn't great. Overall a great sushi place. read more
