This place was okay, for a new place I would have expected more from the atmosphere. Food was average, but the staff was very nice. They did a good job keeping my 16 month son entertained. The place has a lot of potential, they are just not there yet. Parking is kind of rough, but there is not much they can do about that. read more

Not very impressed perhaps dinner would be better. I Picked the lunch feature House bowl....I've had before but when ordering this time i requested sauce on the side. Must have PO the chef as he decided to cut the fish so small chopsticks were nearly useless. Portion and quality not very good either.....cold miso put the nail in read more

My boyfriend and I go here every few weeks and always get the same thing: The Twister Roll & the Tropical Eel Roll. Both absolutely amazing! Seriously- you must try these rolls! They aren't ever super packed or loud & the service is always good! read more

This is one of my favorite spots in the area! Always great, fresh sushi and a relaxing & casual atmosphere. Service is always prompt, never had a negative experience here in 15+ visits. read more

Wasabi Bistro - Casual, calm atmosphere with enjoyable background music. - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

absolutely delicious. the BEST sushi in the Hershey area. get their kani salad it is to die for. great customer service :)

I have been to wasbi over 20 times and every time I come here the staff is extremely friendly and the food is always fresh.

I will move this up to a 4 star if they improve service. Ate there last week for lunch. The waitress was not only new but didn't understand English and was unable to explain anything on the menu. I ordered the oyster special appetizer. They were excellent but the sauce that came with it was unbelievably salty. Both the clear soup and the miso soup were tepid at best when brought out. Sent them back to get hot soup. The sushi and sashimi were however excellent. Fish was fresh and good quality. Salmon was rich and tasty, the yellowtail like butter. read more

[Note: Mixed experiences. These events occurred between 2018-2019] Our first few visits were the best. Hospitable, fresh-tasting food, quick service, delicious soup, and crisp salad. After our 4th visit, the overall experience started to decline. The first thing I noticed was that the miso soup was lukewarm. Not bad, I can live. Next visit they placed me and two others at a table with bar stools, even though the dining area was open. It was awkward since we had to borrow a chair from another table. Then the prices became steep (12-15 dollars for a roll if memory is correct). And aside from most of the employees not understanding basic English, waitresses got in the habit of avoiding our table. We would need to get up and approach one before we got something as simple as an extra fork, or some spicy mayo. What made us stop going was the quality of the fish. The quality went down the toilet, and ironically, that's where we ended up after consuming the eel. My mom got the worst of it, flat-out food poisoning!! We figured they just don't care anymore, or that they switched to a less reliable buyer. We haven't returned since 2019. read more

This is not the best sushi I ever had BUT it is excellent every time we go. Great quality fresh fish that doesn't disappoint for Sashimi and sushi both. They have a great variety of rolls which we tend to try something new each visit along with our favorites (sweet heart, white satin, and more). I have had sushi in Las Vegas and the southern Cali area at first pick restaurants so my "best" bar is very high. I gave 5 stars because for Hershey area they deserve it. read more

My daughter wanted to introduce me to sushi and she picked Wasabi Bistro. We shared shrimp shumai, edamame, shaky dog roll and tiger shrimp roll. She said we'd start easy. It was delicious. Nice comfortable atmosphere and good service. I'll go back. read more

Delicious inventive rolls! Great service, fast delivery. Would gladly drive here for sushi any time a craving strikes.

Ordered beef udon. Got flavorless cabbage soup with noodles overcooked to goo and a few chunks of poorly cooked, low quality beef. Very disappointing. Not going back. read more

Wasabi Bistro has pretty good sushi....especially for a place like Hershey where there is no ocean in sight! I had heard horror stories from friends who stated they got sick after eating here, but of the many times I have eaten and ordered from this restaurant, I've never gotten ill. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated, and the service is friendly and efficient. Try the Victoria Secret roll, it's delish! read more

Went there for the reviews, and man were we disappointed. So let me start off by saying we weren't seated immediately, which is understandable if it were busy but there isn't anyone even assigned to seating arrangements, just a scattered staff. Then the menu itself is confusing, no where does it state that the chef chooses which sushi you eat. But we felt adventurous, so we went for it. The soup, salad & Kani salad were good. But the sushi hand roll, the sashimi, & chef roll weren't. I never complain about price because if it's delicious then it's worth it. But when I looked at our "love boat" I thought it was a joke. Literally one hand roll & one chef roll with a few small random pieces of fish which didn't taste fresh. I'm not the type to complain but I was so tempted to, because I felt it was truly a rip off. Who knows maybe at one point this place was good, but to me as of today it was bad. Definitely not a place I'd return to. read more

Wasabi Bistro - looks are deceiving - Japanese Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Went here tonight not expecting much. I'm from a large city in the northeast with awesome sushi restaurants in every neighborhood; since moving to hershey I was convinced I would never find a good sushi place in central PA. I've passed by wasabi on my ways home from work almost everyday and never thought to stop until tonight. The outside is a little deceiving from what you will experience on the inside. Now this certainly isn't a high end city sushi place, but is delicious and the food is quite fresh. In addition to satisfying sushi (especially the chef's specials) the drinks are strong and tasty. I will definitely be coming here more often! read more

Presentation was beautiful, service was attentive and accomodating (they took pics of my sweetheart and me ;-)) and the sushi was DELICIOUS. The Love Boat was worth every penny. Every bite was savored, that's for sure! read more

This is my all time fav Sushi place! A must try! I only do rolls but they are the best I have ever gotten!

This is actually one of the better Sushi restaurants in the area. I've been here 3 times so I think I can give a pretty fair review at this point. I was really impressed with how they decorated the once dive-y Greek diner/bar that it was (and for several decades -- in fact, a few blue collar-type guys came in the second time I dined there. They all sat down, looked at the menu and one said "Wait, where am I?!"). It is obvious to me that the owners are trying to give the place a modern feel with contemporary paint on the walls, subtle decorative accents and spot on lighting. It is a nice, warm atmosphere to hang out in for an hour or two. It's the food part that still needs a bit of help. The sushi is generally good. They don't offer the most exciting choices I've ever had, but everything seems fresh, which is important to me. My biggest problem with Wasabi Bistro (aside of the name -- WTF, "Bistro"? Is this a Japanese restaurant in France?) is any of their hot liquid items on the menu: they all taste like plastic. This is because they are served in plastic. The last time I was there, my friend had to push his Miso soup to the furthest end of the table because of the fumes! I was sad to see good old Dimitri's (RIP -- I'll never forget your gyros or the colorful regulars at the bar) go, however, Wasabi Bistro is a pretty decent replacement for an area that's severely lacking in new, exciting and modern dining. This badly branded name for a restaurant is nice to hang out in and have decent sushi, but watch out: the hot tea will get you motherf-ing high. read more

This is a Japanese/sushi place in Hershey, PA. I've been a few times, and have never been disappointed. They have a good selection of both hot and cold appetizers, Japanese soups, entrees, and of course, sushi. They cook the steak teriyaki to your desired temp, which is nice..not all places do that. The atmosphere is a bit trendy, and fresh, which is nice. A solid place that's worth a try! read more

Food was okay. Sushi was pretty basic, not much flavor. A little pricey. There are better sushi joints in the Harrisburg area!

I think this is a really good sushi restaurant int he area... Have been there multiple times to eat the love boat for two (39,95), the Sashimi/Sushi Entree, had the salmon skin appetizer, spicy octopus and a few rolls... Everything was good. The only thing I don't really like is their Miso soup which is bland and they serve this with most entrees. However, you can substitute the soup and salad with another item of your choice and paying a little extra... Great service and nice atmosphere. It's a great place for a date or celebrating as well as business meetings during lunch. read more

Glad to see another Asian restaurant pop up in Hershey, PA. Wasabi Bistro has a nice decor and ambiance. Don't forget to check the "specials" chalk board on the way in for some of their fancy rolls. Overall food is pretty standard Japanese bistro food - no hibachi/teppanyaki here (thank god!). Just some solid sushi/sashimi/rolls and other various Japanese dishes. Good lunch specials - grab the bento box as they come w/ rice, 3 pieces of Cali roll, 3 pieces of dumpling, soup and salad (plus your entree: sushi, sashimi, or teriyaki chicken/beef) all for $8-12 or so. They also offered beer and sake which was nice. Didn't have sake bombs on the menu but they were nice of us to let us make our own (it was dad's b-day so had to celebrate a bit). Service was timely in the beginning but were a little slow w/ the check, but it's not place were to go if you're in a rush anyways, so no big deal. read more

Didn't expect to find this good of sushi in central PA. Will be returning and recommending frequently. Plus, they play good blues...

By far the best sushi in this area. Always fresh! Love their Chicken Yaki Yudon as well! The staff is super nice and we have never had a bad experience! I highly recommend Wasabi! read more

Probably the best sushi I ever had. I say that every time after every place I eat sushi but I really mean it this time. My girlfriend and I shared a love boat and we were in a fish-induced bliss from start to finish. Definitely recommend this establishment read more

The food is just average. The entrance rug need to be cleaned. We can smell it when walking in.

We have eaten here many times since this restaurant opened the food has always been delicious. Tonight again good sushi, but service awful. A couple who came in after us had appetizers and dinner before we got our appetizers. 35 minutes till served. Then they charged my debit card for another table $60 and said it was voided but may take a few days until I get credited. What? My debit card is $60 overcharged.....Really? Not acceptable and will go back to Tokyo Diner. read more

An absolute favorite for sushi. We have been in the Harrisburg area for nearly 10 years and this is the best sushi we've had. Everything is fresh, prepared quickly, and delicious. read more

My boyfriend and I were in last night for dinner. Everything was great. The atmosphere, the service, and the selection. It smelled pretty fishy but I didn't think twice about that. Wasabi is the closest sushi place to our house and we were so excited that everything was as good as we'd hope it would be...until this morning when we both started feeling queazy and eventually throwing up. Throwing up bad sushi is not a good start to the day. We won't be going back. Google' how to spot a bad sushi restaurant'- the number one sign is that the restaurant STINKS LIKE FISH. Please clean your restaurant Wasabi, I'm sure your customers do not want to be as sick as we are. 2 stars for location and for our sweet waitress. Zero for quality. read more

Great food and service..a must if u are in area. Prices are reasonable....portions could b larger.

Eh, its okay. The sushi wasn't bad but it was actually quite small for what we paid for. I wouldn''t go there again, i'd rather go to miso.

What a great find! From wonderful appetizers to amazing sushi, you are in for a treat! Don't judge this book by its cover. Try it and you'll love it! read more

I come here every couple of months to catch up with friends, and the sushi never disappoints. The spicy kani bowl is tasty and a perfect size,and the "sea singer roll" and "stop, drop, and roll" are always favorites. We often come on a weeknight and while we are always seated quickly, there's always a healthy crowd. The only complaint, is that sometimes they seem a bit understaffed, which can lead to delays in getting your food (abt 30 min from time ordered) on nights that don't seem very busy. read more

I don't know what it is lately, but I haven't been happy with the past new places I've eaten. I am sorry to say.....Blah for Wasabi Bistro. Service was fine. Decor was very nice and that's all I can say that was good. Confusing large menu. High prices and the sushi was TASTELESS!!! I have spicy crap roll and eel with some sort of crust and deep fried. My husband had spicy salmon and a roll with cucumber and black fish eggs. Our comments to each other were just about the same...tasteless. Spicy rolls for both of us were anything but spicy. Our other rolls were equally tasteless. I'm the sushi lover in the family and my husband can take it or leave it. I'm from LA, born in Detroit and have spent a lot of time in Chicago. We've traveled so we aren't newbies to sushi. We will not be returning....ever! Blah Blah read more

love it - nice decor, awesome menu. lots of new, different choices. I love the shaky dog, Mexican roll and the goalie rolls. I try to go here or Sakura do (I just think the interior of wasabi wins) at least once a week. read more

Great sushi! Delicious plates! Hibachi is overpriced but that's my only complaint. Great service.

Fish is cold and seems fresh. Lots of creative fusion rolls and specials. A solid choice if you find yourself looking for sushi in The area. read more

Came here after a day at the park. The service was good. The sushi selection was pretty good (being from DC were kind of picky sushi eaters) and they had a decent bar. Recommend it if you want something other than American food while in Hershey. read more

Very nice decor and great staff! I tried a few different things from the menu as well as a few off menu items and I must say this place leaves me impressed everytime I have been in there. All of their items are fresh and made to order and the staff was great, even when I broke my chop sticks lol. I highly recommend this place especially if you like sushi. read more

They used sesame seeds to top the sushi rather than caviar- which I thought was strange, but the food was decent. Kugo's in Lebanon is better. Sakuro Do across the street is also better but their hours are limited. read more
