They have the best shrimp/seafood tempura I have ever tasted in the PA/NJ area. It was crisp and flavorful. Their rolls are good as well. I loved that real Japanese rice was used in their sushi. The only thing that I wasn't a big fan of, was their chicken fried rice. Everything else we ordered for take-out was superb! read more

food was ok, but definitely lack of cleanliness, from parking lot to floors to table clothes to maintaining chairs. not sure anything has been maintained in quite some time read more

I was very impressed. The chef we had was very accommodating, we had two young children with us and he really entertained them. The food was delicious. I would definitely return there again. read more

OK, so as a foodie, I'm going to warn you to take heed when it comes to ANY Yelp reviews coming from Hershey, PA. We found all the four and five stars in Hershey to be highly disappointing (We noticed this in Maui, Hawaii too). Overall, the food in ALL of Hershey was rough. We went to this place based on the reviews, and it was ok. The sushi was decent, but the ramen was TERRIBLE. It's not real ramen - it's a Chinese type of soup with ramen noodles - not the traditional pork broth. So while I'd stick with the tempura and sushi, skip the noodles for sure. read more

Was pretty impressed by Wasabi. Good sushi, excellent mix of options, and the bento box was way more food than any person could eat. Miso soup was just OK, but not the end of the world. Service was excellent! read more

Very, very good! The service is fast and corteous, always open and not busy... My daughter loves the Hibachi special with Salmon and Steak. A great alternative in the area. read more

Wasabi Bistro - Ramune... Salmon Hibachi... Grat!!! - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

This is a reasonable sushi place. I sat at the bar. You still have to order everything through a server. The sushi chefs do not interact with the customers at all, kind of a bummer. I got a new Wasabe roll that had lots of raw fish in it along with avocado. It was kind of small. The individual pieces are only a half inch wide. I also thought the miso soup was really weak. It needed more miso paste. You can get sake and beer here. read more

Wasabi Bistro - Beer and a hot sake with complimentary snacks - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

I have visited this restaurant a couple of times with my daughter. We have only had the sushi but it was really good sushi. They have some very creative rolls and the fish is very fresh. I plan on eating here with my daughter again soon. read more

Good lunch special options and reasonable pricing. A tasty option for the value. Not the best I have had but it was enjoyable as an inexpensive sit down lunch. I ordered a chicken tempura bento box. It came with soup and salad. Sushi The shortcomings: The miso soup was very bland, and some what watery. The salad had a mayo based ginger dressing which I did not expect. The California roll was made with Krab. Yes. Krab with a K. And was prepped long before I ordered it, making it about supermarket quality. The good: The tempura was tasty and so was the dipping sauce. The breading was airy with a nice crunch. The rice filled me up the rest of the way and the siu mai that came on the side was very delicious. No meat in it though. The service was friendly and prompt. Good lunch choice so far, I have yet to try their specialty rolls before I will consider my review fair. read more

Wasabi Bistro - The Chicken tempura bento box was enjoyable. It also came with miso soup and salad - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

The only place in the area to get sushi! Always fresh, and always mouth watering! I never leave here unsatisfied. One of my go to places to eat when I'm in the area. read more

Had to hang out in town for a few hours over lunch today and remembered passing this place several times. I find it hard to pass up on sushi. My partner for the day decided he would rather turn his nose up and goto Subway next door, forcing me to go it alone! Glad I did. Very nice restaurant. I got there just as they were opening for lunch. Very nice staff with a very clean building. The lunch special award very reasonable, three roles and soup for $12. I was by myself and wasting time on my phone taking my time eating, but I never felt rushed by the staff. The food was good and fast, no complaints. If I find myself in the area again around lunch time with another partner (cross fingers) I will defiantly be coming back. read more

Wasabi Bistro - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

The sushi is very fresh, there are a ton of options, and it is always great... so if you like sushi, consider this as a 4 or 5 star review... unfortunately, I like sushi, but I don't love it. The hibachi isn't very good at all. There is a much better option down the road, for half the price. Some of the other hot food dishes, I didn't love either. That's my honest assessment. read more

Great place for an affordable and quick lunch! The bento box is fantastic, you get a little bit of everything, and it's all delicious. Service was quick and helpful as well. Less than a 10 minute drive from Hershey Park, and cheaper than eating in the park. Great place! read more

Really average place. Sushi does not taste fresh. Rolls are not very good. Service was painfully slow even though the restaurant was not busy when we dined. read more

I got the chicken hibachi and fried rice. The miso soup was amazing! I think the chicken needed more sauce but the rice and veggies were good. The tuna roll was perfect, always great sushi! I prefer their sushi over hibachi. read more

Came here on a chance guess. This place is located on the far end of Hershey, which is extremely small already so it won't be hard to find or a long drive to get to. Parking isn't that bad and the inside is average. We arrive around 3 pm so there wasn't a crowd and service was fine. Ordered the house bowl, Uni (sea urchin), and the Christmas roll. And it was all excellent and fresh. Posted pics too. Uni is hard to come by but this place had it and prepared it well. They gave us a choice of either sushi or sashmi style. We choose sushi style just to make it easier to eat. Uni is like feathers and butter...really good! The Christmas roll was awesome, spicy tuna, avocado and tobiko. I highly recommend this roll. The house bowl is chunks of sushi in fish sauce with avocados and topped with planko. We definitely will go back to try other things on the menu. read more

Had take out from here, it was good, different rolls, did not eat here so not sure about their service.

Amid torrential downpours of rain, this delicious and unique restaurant was open for business! The food was absolutely delicious and our four sushi rolls came out on a wooden boat! The soup was delicious, as well! read more

Solid gold. Wasabi is always on lock these bad reviews gotta be from bad people. Wasabi is a home run. Grab that east meets west roll read more

#1 sushi spot since highschool... have been coming here religiously for years. Traveled around and still crave Wasbi sushi !

Fabulous food, super convenient, wonderful service, great prices. Great way to end a long day at Hershey!

Ok...so I've noticed that the sushi favorite amongst many people here is Sapporo East. I do not like the sushi there...so that fact might sway your impression of my review. K...continuar... I liked Wasabi. I've been here twice, and have had consistently good, fresh sushi here. I haven't tried any of the other meals, since I'm here for the sushi...but the appies are good as well! I highly recommend the green mussels which come in this spicy orange sauce. MMMMMMMM!!! You only get four, but I think the price was only $4.95...so a good value to try something new! We ordered sushi for two, during this last visit, and had plenty to eat for a $19.95 price. You get a mix of rolls and sushi, as well as soup and salad for both. On top of the nice sushi roll list, they have a specials menu to include even more rolls. Lots to pick from. Fish and rice were cold. Check. Fish didn't smell like fish. Check. Had numerous wasabi brain freezes. Check. Service was timely and fast. Check. One of the better places around here for sushi. read more

Ordered carry out here. Sushi was great, but not my favorite in Hershey. The sweet potato roll was awesome though! Never had anything like it. read more

Total disappointment! My family and I planned on enjoying a delicious meal as usual at Wasabi and left with empty stomachs! A server sat me while husband, baby and 2 kids were coming in from the car. While waiting for my family, a sever came to the table and starting picking up all the menus and said "I'm sorry but you need to move, this table is reserved and she is new and should not have sat you here." I assumed they were just moving us to another table. She then comes back after all my family is at the table now as says "you are going to need to get up and wait over there and I don't know how long it is going to take, I'm sorry." I said "are you serious? I have a baby!" There is no place to stand and wait in there let alone with an infant seat!. She said that we would have to get up and wait and that she was sorry. I told her this is ridiculous and we are leaving. My husband asked 2 times to speak to manager and the woman said "she isn't here." Really!!!! No manager on V-day??? My husband said "Someone has to be on charge!" So a sushi chef came over and my husband to him what happened and the chef says "I told her to leave you there and worry about the reservation later." My husband said "well that didn't happen". He said sorry and asked if we would give them another chance. My husband said no we are disappointed. read more

I like that this place has a parking lot, although the parking lot is a bit awkward. You can either sit at the sushi bar or dine. The interior is pretty nice, it has a different look to it. The co-workers I feel barely know english because she had no idea what I was trying to say. The food is delicious though. The soup I had, I wasn't a fan of. I'm sorry but nobody I've found makes it better than Benihana. The prices were reasonable as well, especially for it being in Hershey. I came here twice, so obviously I'm a fan. read more

This review is completely biased as someone who eats Japanese a lot in NYC. We stumbled into this place after our initial plan of eating at the lone Viet restaurant in Hershey was sabotaged by the restaurant closing early inexplicably. The food isn't particularly good but it isn't terrible either. Choices are standard and the sushi bar has its own unique rolls which appeal to those who like fusion cuisine. Service was a little slow but attentive. It's getting 2 stars because the sushi rice was absolutely bland. No mirin, no vinegar. It was like plain white rice, which was a shame since the fish quality there was surprisingly decent. Still its a nice change of pace from the predominantly American eateries in Hershey. read more

The sushi was not the freshest or best I have had. People from Hershey think it's good. Other menu items were OK. read more

Just want to say how amazing this place is. There ginger salad is the best I have ever had. They also have the best sushi in the entire area including the Harrisburg area. It's beautifully decorated and the wait staff is so friendly. I drive about an hour and a half just to come but it's so worth it! read more

Wasabi Bistro - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

We were visiting Hershey park and stayed at a motel in Chocolate Ave. This restaurant was one of the few restaurants close to our hotel so we decided to give it a shot. There was another Japanese restaurant (Sakura Do) nearby but we decided on this one because it looked more family friendly. The shrimp tempura and beef teriyaki were awesome. The beef was tender and tasty. My 6 year old kid is picky and no matter where we go, she would always choose chicken tender and fries over anything. It wasn't on the menu but I asked anyway and much to my surprise, they serve my daughter chicken and fries. WIN WIN! Oh and the staff is super friendly! read more

This restaurant is a good example of the old proverbial caution to not judge a book by its cover. Settled along the outskirts of Hershey the large sign makes the establishment easy to find. Inside, the decor is chic and tasteful. Service was prompt and there were plenty of choices for types of sushi, which is what my boyfriend and I were after. The sushi was good! My favorite of the ones we ordered was the TNT roll. Very tasty, would recommend! read more

I have eaten here twice recently and I can't think of anything negative to say about it at all. It's decorated really nicely inside, so don't let the dated awkward exterior deter you. They have some of the most unique specialty rolls I've ever had! I've had maybe 5-6 different ones and each one was delicious. By far the spicy wasabi tuna roll was my favorite, although that may have been a weekly special type one and not always on the menu. Everything always tastes fresh, and as others have mentioned check the board on the way in. Staff has been attentive and very nice. It's a bit out of the way from Harrisburg, but well worth the drive for what can honestly be said is some of the best sushi around! I for one can't wait to go back again soon and try everything else on the menu! read more

We decided on Wasabi Bistro when we wanted to eat dinner before a concert at Hershey Park. First this is a great choice because the franchise restaurants were crazy busy and at Wasabi we were seated right away. The sushi is out of this world. I had the Hollywood Roll which was beyond delicious and the spicy tuna. My sister had the spicy tuna bowl appetizer and it was amazing. Very fresh and beautifully prepared. This will be our go to spot when we are in town! read more

Best sushi in town. Yes it's not NYC sushi as the fellow pointed out but it is good and reasonably priced.been here many times. Definitely need to sit at the sushi bar. read more

Easily my favorite sushi restaurant. Nothing has been short of superior and I come here very often!! They have a wide variety of appetizers and sushi rolls, and a great selection of entree's. Absolute favorite things to order are the steak hibachi, bento box, and honestly every single roll is delicious. This is one of the hardest reviews to write as it is too good and will take too much time. All in all you should come here if you were thinking about it. And the staff is so friendly and incredible! I'd would eat here every day if I live near by read more

Never disappointed by this sushi place. The fish is so fresh that I consistently don't need soy sauce to help it out. The selections with jalapeño slices are my favorite. The yellowtail classic is a memory maker for me. I get it every time I return. The screaming salmon app is awesome. The sake is great too. Love it. read more

Wasabi Bistro - Screaming Salmon Appetizer (lightly seared salmon over a bed of asparagus, topped with jalapeño slices and kimchi sauce). - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

This place was close to Hershey Park and one of only three Asian restaurants. Ordered the ramen noodles,which we thought were ok, and the chirashi, which I thought was ok too, though I had to admit they put very generous pieces of sashimi in the dish. Enjoyed it all with the sake. Service here was quick and the staff was nice. . read more

While I admit that I only have sushi a few times a year, Wasabi Bistro has the most extensive selection I've seen. I've probably sampled 10 - 12 different types of sushi here in the few times I've visited, and all were fresh and tasty and left me wanting more. They offer a wide variety of sushi tastes and spice levels, from traditional California-roll types to snazzier, more fusion-esque varieties. The toughest part was choosing between them... in fact, you may want to be ready to spend a few extra dollars to try several and share them with a friend. Salads and side dishes were nice too. If you're in Hershey, this is just down the road from the downtown area, and worth the extra mile's drive. read more

1 star for sure.The workers not the best.The food portions are way to small and let me tell you,it is WAY OVERPRICED!!!You pay 2.50 for this and the bowl is smaller than a mini rubrics cube ....umm no !The menu isn't very clear I ordered the spicy salmon and tuna roll ,and it turned out to be a spicy salmon and tuna crunch roll,be clear next time!The beef udon was horrible the beef wasn't seasoned and was very bland and over cooked,The udon part was way to salty,and there are barley any veggies on it.victoria secret roll umm no.But in conclusion This place gets a This place SUCKS!!!! read more

Love, love, love this place!! We go once a week for the food, service, variety, and consistency. Fish is fresh, the rolls are unique, and Ivan and his staff make us feel welcome the moment we walk through the door. Love the yellowtail classic roll (tuna with avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, and a bangin sauce), uni shots with ponzu and quail egg, and the twister roll which has avocado & mango... Delish!!!! Best sushi in PA!! read more

Great place to go after Hershey Park. Great food such as gourmet boxes and variety of sushi. Very comfortable surrounding.
