    Miso soup with tempura flakes inside wth

    Miso soup had tempura flakes in it... Shashimi was so cold you could feel the ice. Just bland food. Service was mediocre

    Saki Drink Menu

    This was our first visit to Wasabi and won't be the last. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to our requests. The food was amazing, fresh and plated to perfection. It was a comfortable environment with attractive decor but the floor fan was off putting. I'm sure it was there to dry off a wet spot but didn't seem right for the environment. Regardless, the food and service will have me return.

    Was in town for a work trip during the non tourist season. The service was very kind and I got sat next to the cutest family where a little girl was celebrating her bday. The staff made it so fun for her. Atmosphere: great date spot for if you want to be casual or you feel like dressing up. Food: I loved the dishes I received. I got the Sex and the City roll: LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL. It had so much flavor and it was big and filling. The lady next to me ended up getting the same roll because of how good it looked Sashimi appetizer: it was displayed beautifully. The fish was so fresh. -Service was very fast and kind. I really enjoyed my overall experience.

    Always so polite, accommodating, and fun! As someone with a gluten allergy it can be hard but they always make sure I'm eating things safe for me! Thank you Wasabi team you are our favorite sushi place in Bluffton.

    Salmon Poke Bowl

    Loved this place! The sushi was fresh, the ramen hit the spot and the hibachi was so delicious. Super chill vibes and really nice staff -- will definitely be back!"

    Edamame, hibachi chicken, beef lunchbox, 3 rolls.

    Went in on a Sunday afternoon and it was absolutely delightful. Staff are extremely kind and friendly. Food was phenomenal. Lunch special is an amazing deal for how good the food truly is. The ambience is great.

    Poke bowl

    Stopped by for a quick dinner on a Saturday evening. Friendly hostess, not too packed. Decent menu but my wife and I just grabbed a couple of poke bowls. Decent amount of fresh fish, good taste. The sauce wasn't overwhelming which isn't always the case with poke bowls. I will say that I would prefer other greens than just iceberg lettuce, maybe some kale or some spinach but otherwise very tasty. Would revisit.

    Monday's are usually spent going out for wings. With a low "wing kings" attendance, my buddy recommended Wasabi when I told him I'd rather have sushi. I hadn't heard of too many good sushi places in the area. This was exceptional. It appears to be a family run business located in the Publix Buckwalter strip mall area next to NY Pizza. The prices and offering were reasonable. They have lunch and dinner Bento boxes and combos. I was only in the mood for sushi. I didn't see any sushi/sashimi combos other than the "Boat". For beverages they offer beer, wine, hot and cold sake and soft drinks. I don't think they have other hard liquor. I ordered the Seafood Dynamite and Rock & Roll sushi. It was delicious and plentiful.I probably should have only ordered 1 roll and not 2. The service was good, but a bit slow. Probably because of the complexity of the rolls. My friend had the Rainbow and Dragon rolls. The Seafood Dynamite was great and a must have.

    Make Combo A

    Delicious sushi! Stopped here for a late dinner while on vacation in the area. I'd recommend getting takeout as they're short staffed at the moment, so even if you dine in, they don't have waiters, and you'll just get your food in takeout boxes. I'd probably call ahead in the future, or just expect to wait a bit if you order there. They have an expansive menu, interesting flavor combinations, generous portions, and pack everything neatly. We got: 1. Tempura - Tasty and well fried. Comes with sauce, and a decent variety between shrimp, sweet potato, squash, and onions. 2. Agedashi Tofu - I'd skip this one for takeout. The tofu is a bit too heavily breaded, and there's not enough sauce in proportion to how much tofu there is. Also if you keep any leftovers, the breading gets soggy fast 3. Rock and Roll - AMAZING! Shrimp tempura and crab salad based roll that comes with thai chili sauce. Because it was boxed, the pictures really don't do it justice, but this was my favorite roll. 4. Wasabi Sashimi - Fish was fresh, and it comes with soup or salad. 5. Eel Avocado Roll - Pretty good standard roll 6. Make Combo A - Also pretty good standard set of rolls. If you want a lot of sushi rolls, this combo is pretty generous in proportion. Check them out for a great takeout sushi option!

    Best Sushi around!!! This is the Ninja Fruit roll, a kids favorite for sure!! Great service and the owners are the nicest people!!

    So good! Kid friendly and nice owners! Been eating here for years!! TOP NOTCH!! Best sushi in town! Great service!

    This is what the calamari looks like. Mine was in a to go box though.

    March 26, 2023 We walked in @ 8:50 pm after driving 30 minutes to get to the restaurant. Their website, Google & Yelp all said the restaurant closed at 10:00 or 10:30. Their door said they closed at 10:00PM. The waiter came over took our drink order, then came back with our drinks and let us know that last seating was at 9:30. Again, it was 8:50 when we arrived and were seated. We decided to make our order a To Go order to be courteous. The calamari was good but would have been fabulous if it was hot. (we had to drive back 30 min to our hotel. My edamame was terrible. It had no seasoning on it whatsoever. The rice had a terrible smoky flavor, the beef was very good. I will say, the portion sizes were good also.

    I come for the amazing Nigiri

    Amazing service and food. I come here often and am always treated so well! Quality of food is amazing and the presentation is beautiful and on top of all that very affordable! I am here twice a week now

    We made a reservation at The Studio and tried their early dining menu (a three-course meal). This…read morewas the best meal I've had on the island, you've got to try The Studio if you're ever in Hilton Head! Before our three-course meal even started, we were already blown away by the bread service. The bread comes warm with butter and garlic oil, and that garlic oil was out of this world. My Mango Mojito was fresh and delicious, great mango flavor with a nice mint finish. Perfect start! Crab & Vidalia Onion Bisque: big pieces of crab and a wonderful flavor. Filet Mignon: my steak was perfectly cooked and topped with a nice cheese. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfectly seasoned and cooked too. Crème Caramel: sooo yummy! The caramel was sweet and the custard was creamy. The service and ambiance were also fantastic. We enjoyed checking out the art in the gallery area after our meal. The only thing I'm sad about is that I didn't get to visit The Studio again on my trip to try their regular menu... but the next time I'm in Hilton Head I'll be back!

    Truly exceptional. Wasn't sure what to expect but from moment one we loved it! Fun atmosphere with…read morethe artwork and close knit vibes. Incredibly friendly service from servers and owners. But the standout was the food. Great menu and wasn't sure what to do, but all of us, including 2 vegetarians, had incredible meals and were thrilled with the evening and pacing of everything. I am pretty critical of steak but I got the ribeye topped with Gorgonzola and it was among the best steaks I've ever had. Plus - their patio dining is dog friendly!
