Spicy yellowtail roll, yellowtail sashimi, & spicy tuna roll
Finn M.

We came here for dinner and it is our first visit; 4 kids & 3 adults. Attentive staff. Young & new to the sushi concept, but it's central Kentucky, for goodness' sake. What do you expect - some Shinto shrine with a Taiko drum show? Anyway, Amelia, our waitress, was kind and helpful. The food was tasty overall, especially the fried rice & seaweed salad. The yellowtail had been on ice too long & while still good, lost a bit of its proper tang when truly fresh. Again - it wasn't spoiled but sashimi demands that crisp, fresh snap when you bite into it. The canned soda thing ... not a fan. Perhaps it's a cost thing but at least don't show cases of soda in view & along the path to the john. The shrimp tempura & spicy tuna rolls were solid winners, & our guest had never had miso soup or real sushi until this meal. She's very happy, and so are we. Like I said, overall it was a good meal. But sushi joints need a staff that's crackerjacking & knowledgeable about this experience. Hardin County in general and ETown in particular are growing fast. Places like Wasabi need to rise to that challenge & train that staff to be on the nose about the menu & the sushi experience in particular. The owner spoke with us as we left. Very kind and gracious lady. We'll be back. The kids loved the food AND the fish tank!

After scouring yelp for recommendations on somewhere to eat, we stumbled across Wasabi. It had excellent reviews and we were in the mood for sushi. Wasabi didn't disappoint! It's located in a little strip mall, with a large parking lot. When we entered we were immediately greeted by two servers and allowed to choose our table. There were several booths and then tables in the middle. It's a smaller restaurant with about 10 tables. The menu has many options including sushi, noodles, kids menu, bento boxes, fried rice and more. We ordered the California roll, shrimp fried rice and chicken bento boxes. We got in on the lunch special for the bento box! The food arrived extremely fast with the sushi coming out first. Then a few minutes later the fried rice. Everything was very fresh and delicious. The bento boxes are the real show stopper. Tons of hot and fresh food. The chicken was so tender and juicy and was drenched in a delicious teriyaki sauce, it also included gyoza, sushi, fried rice and veggies. I would 100% order it again. If you're in ETown I would highly recommend this spot!

Best sushi I've had in a while. All their rolls were fresh and made to order. The ambiance is super cute and the service is amazing. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing and it was the best sushi I have ever had. The service was fast and polite. The ambiance was okay but the fish was cool.

Miso soup

Our first time visiting Wasabi! We visited on a Saturday evening about 7:30pm and was pretty slow nite but the service was outstanding and the food fresh! It took no time to get our drinks (waters) and appetizers. Our sushi rolls were delicious. All our food came very fast and hot-meaning freshly prepared. Unfortunately, they didn't have any cold ice tea or liquor. But ambiance was good and clean! The menu options was very good from Chinese food, hibachi and sushi rolls. Prices are fair and delicious!

Gyoza
Claudia E.

It's so nice to have another sushi option right here in Etown! I was so excited to try this place out. We came here for dinner just before the dinner rush and snagged a nice booth. We started with the gyoza fried dumplings and we ate these so fast I almost forgot to take a picture. Needless to say we really liked these. For entrees we got chicken hibachi and several rolls. The hibachi came with the usual salad and choice of soup--they were out of miso so we went with wonton. These were really good! And the hibachi was not too bad either. All of the rolls we ordered were delicious too, and the way they were presented on the plate was really, really lovely. My only qualm was with the ginger and the wasabi. The ginger did not taste as I was expecting, and the wasabi was off-putting in color and flavor, sort of like play-doh. I just stayed away from these and enjoyed the rolls with just soy sauce. Overall great experience, and I can't wait to come back. I really am so happy that Etown is getting some much needed variety. I plan on continuing to support, and you should too!

I came in, to order to go since it's was pretty busy. Ordering was a breeze, the staff at the counter got my order in and paid. She told me it would be about 15 minutes. Gave me time to walk over to a nearby store in the shopping center. Came back everything was packed and ready to go. Everything was packed well that nothing spilled. The vegetables tempura came with 3 sauces and were crispy and crunchy. So much food and everything was delicious.

This the best Japanese restaurant in E-town. Foods were delicious and right portion. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Deluxe Nigiri Sushi dinner with an additional yellowtail roll and white tuna roll
Tony L.

I have to start this with the fact that I am a huge authentic ethnic food snob. Eating Americanized rolls is not the true sushi experience. That said, Wasabi is a little light on what I truly enjoy as sushi, but short of driving to Louisville or Bowling Green, they appear to be my best local option. Their sushi is adequate and satisfies my cravings. They are actually more of a pan Asian restaurant rather than a Japanese restaurant. My elderly mother who is an extremely picky eater does have me get her a specific Chinese dish from Wasabi that she enjoys very much. I myself have never eaten anything but the sushi pictured along with my review. The nigiri sushi and simple rolls are good. But I have been there multiple times and the food has been very consistent. I almost always get carry out so that I can eat with my homebound mom. The restaurant is a beautiful space, might even be a bit on the small side, once business really gets going for them. They are at the far end of a new strip mall where only a few stores are actually open. But once more traffic starts going to this location I would expect Wasabi to have excellent business. Excellent service as well and they do have excellent lunch specials from what I have been told by others enjoying them.

Shrimp and Broccoli in Garlic Sauce -A
Michelle B.

This was my second time at the restaurant. It's a very small restaurant and if you don't get there when they open then expect a wait. When I got there this time the server told me to sit anywhere I wanted to, but he later came back and told me that "they" told me to have you move to a smaller table. Which he should have just suggested I do when he seated me as opposed to having me move. The food is good. I ordered the Shrimp and Broccoli with garlic sauce- A. Although good...found it weird for it only to have 5 pieces of shrimp. Maybe because it was A as opposed to B? Not sure about that. I've also ordered the sushi in the past which is great as well.

Hibachi steak entree. Good but not worth $20.
Andy P.

Another decent option for sushi in Elizabethtown. It's as good as the others and better than cellar dweller Ginza which you should avoid at all cost. It's a small restaurant, new and clean and definitely looks like a franchise, especially with that logo but may not be. We got take out and ordered the sushi deluxe and one of the hibachi entrees with some shumai appetizers. I was skeptical about the sushi which came nigiri style on a bed of rice because they served it with some neon green wasabi. Real wasabi is actually yellow kinda like horseradish, and neon green wasabi is suspect. Despite my initial misgivings the sushi was really good, tuna, salmon, tako (octopus) and a pink and white colored fish (escolar maybe). It came with a spicy tuna roll. The hibachi entree was also very good relatively speaking, although the portion was small given the price ($20+). The shumai was disappointing and looked like it came from the frozen section at the Aldi across the street. They do have American Chinese entrees if you don't like sushi or Japanese hibachi but you didn't want to stay home and eat hamburger helper by yourself while your friends went to get some sushi. Definitely a decent option for sushi in Elizabethtown, as good as the rest and better than Ginza.

As we rolled into Elizabethtown, KY this place caught our eye. After checking our hotel we set out…read morelooking for a place to grab some grub. Drake's came up in our search so we meandered on over. Best to put yourself on the wait list before going. The place was busy. We were escorted to our table (114) which is the screened indoor patio area. Looking over the menus a young man named Luke came by and apologized for us having to wait long (which we had not been waiting long). Said it was not his table but was willing to help out a fellow co-worker as she was slammed. We told him that we were going to keep him as our server. He's got a great personality and fun to have conversations with. He took our drink order and was allowed to take over our table service. The menu is quite diverse and has many many choices. We placed our food order. Fried bologna sandwich with sweet potato fries on wheat bread. (Ask for a side of caramel to dip, your sweet potato fries in) Tailgate burger, no ketchup no mustard and the Drake's fries. Alison was our food runner. Luke came back during our meal and we were able to chat in a non-rushed way. This is not a local one off place. There are several locations but it did not feel like a franchise chain. Definitely a place for you to stop at if there's one in the area along your travels. Taylor the manager stopped by to see how our experience was. We gave nothing but compliments and admiration. The whole experience exceeded our expectations. And at $43.73 out the door I think it was a good deal.

The server was horrible at tending to us!! She was an older lady & anytime she set anything down…read moreshe would quickly leave, & we weren't able to ask for other things. my table & I had to ask other servers for refills, more napkins, & Togo boxes because she was nowhere to be found! I ordered the mushroom & swiss burger, it was massive & im pretty sure double patty couldn't finish it even though I was hungry, I ordered a side of sweet potato fries & they were delicious, cant go wrong with that. We told the server we wanted to share with the table 2 orders of sushi rolls of steak & tuna, but weren't given small plates or soy sauce dishes. they chairs are a bit far from the table, so you would have to be sitting right at the edge without having your back supported comfortably. We were celebrating birthdays so we were given complimentary cookie with ice cream & that was pleasant.
