When I moved to Hagerstown I did not expect there to be a good sushi restaurant. Sure there were Chinese restaurants that offered sushi as a side thought but they were just that a side thought; skinny rolls, room temperature and just not what I was looking for For. I have been all over the state of Maryland looking for good sushi and guess what some of the best is right here in Hagerstown at Wasabi. The restaurant is always clean and the portions are always good sized. Reasonably priced, although they have gone up in the past couple years like everything else. The staff is always very kind and considerate. And I swear I've watched the one kid grow up from being a child at a table doing his homework to now he's the waiter. They are closed on Mondays which is unfortunate, but everybody needs a day off. I miss the days of green tea coming in the tea pot with a little cup. It comes in a coffee cup now in a teabag and it's nearly 3 dollars for a cup of tea but I can't stand drinking soda with Asian food it just doesn't mesh well. I recently tried sushi in Rockville and Baltimore just, because why not, and when my son and I went to wasabi last week we both started laughing when the food came out because the presentation was better and the flavor was better and the size was better and it was just all around better. I don't know what else to say. Oh did I mention that the restaurant always clean and the people are always super nice? read more

They have been closed since April 23rd. The Health Department shut them down. I walked around back a seen what the equipment looked like. Not good. read more

Though I cannot compare the sushi here vs the ample amount of sushi options in DC, I must say for the price, quality doesn't match. Will need to find another spot in Hagerstown. read more

If you're up for a fresh low-key sushi joint, Wasabi is the place to go. Surprisingly, their fish is pretty fresh and I think the price point on all the dishes are quite solid whether you order spicy tuna rolls or a sashimi combination plate. The service was pretty solid and I would say that their non-sushi options are just as solid too. I'd definitely return. read more

Pretty good sushi, service was professional and good, if the kid looks (or is) underage you already know the foods gonna hit. This was no different. Quality sushi and prices are comparable, small dining area read more

In Looking at the other reviews I think I might've just caught them on a bad night. I had shrimp and veggie tempura and chicken teriyaki dinner to go. I was expecting white rice with the chicken teriyaki, I got fried rice. Did not eat it so I cannot tell you if it was good or not. I'm honestly Curious about the chicken, it seems like really low quality chicken breast. I honestly thought it was flaked and formed perhaps. Also, the sauce for the tempura spilled, so all the tempura was soggy and there was no more sauce. read more

Came to Wasabi on a cold night and had a nice experience. We got to choose where we wanted to sit and we given menu's and waters right away. They were patient with us, which was great we were very indecisive in choosing what we wanted and also talked a lot because it was a date. After ordering, it took about the right amount of time I would have expected to make 6 rolls. It came out in a nice big dish with designs made out of sauce which was pretty (as seen in my picture). The food itself was good. It had a good amount of meat to rice ratio. The price was fair too in my opinion. Pro: -Good service, kept asking if we needed anything and refilled waters -The price was right for the quality and food rice ratio Cons: -None Tips: -Try to get different rolls you both like so that you can try something new and share with one another read more

The owners here must have studied the ancient text on how to build a successful business, because they got every element just right to make our recent late night dinner stop effortless. ++ Service: the lady who worked the floor was flawless, and made it possible for us to sit down, order, eat, marvel, pay, and get out the door all in the last 30 minutes of their opening hours Hibachi salmon: served with fried rice that reminds me of Korean fried rice and veggies, and the serving size was huge. Apparently there are two sizes, but it was still the right decision to get the bigger portion even if we were absolutely stuffed afterwards Shrimp tempura: the best tempura shrimp (roll) we have ever had, period We can't wait to go back here and wish we lived closer! read more

This is the best sushi in Hagerstown! Very good and great prices!! The inside is very clean. Very friendly staff. They make the rolls right behind the counter so you can see the quality of the ingredients. We came here for lunch and the prices are excellent!! You can get 2 rolls for $7.50 or 3 rolls for $10.50. Both come with Miso soup. The Spicy Crunchy Crab Roll was amazing!! All our rolls were very fresh and delicious. I highly recommend trying this place and will definitely be back! read more

I had a craving for some veggie sushi and Wasabi knocked it out of the park! Location: A little difficult to find if you don't know what you're looking for, but Wasabi is located in a little strip mall area near a Loew's and a Subway. There's plenty of easy parking nearby. The restaurant itself is unassuming, but clean and has plenty of seating inside. Service/Staff: We were directed to a table quickly and our waitress was very attentive -- quickly refilling water, taking our order and offering recommendations. Food: This is where Wasabi exceeds! My Mom (who I went with) and I both got the Lunch Sushi Special which was 3 rolls and miso soup for $10. They also had a lot of other lunch specials -- including sushi, bento boxes and "hibachi" options. I haven't seen another sushi restaurant with as many veggie options as Wasabi -- and unique options at that. I ordered the avocado & peanut roll (why don't more restaurants offer this?? Amazing!), pickled veggie roll and the tempura sweet potato roll (on recommendation of our waitress) -- they were all excellent, as was the miso soup. Overall: Wasabi is one of the best Japanese/sushi restaurants that I've tried in the Tri-State area, and I'd highly recommend it! I definitely will be back next time I'm in the area. read more

I was very disappointed in my recent (attempted) experience. Being cognizant of business hours as we googled them prior to arriving, we arrived at 750 pm understanding the business closed at 830. After a few minutes we were approached and told because they closed at 830 they were not allowing dine in. Again... I can appreciate this inside of a certain window or time but 40 minutes??? We went out of our way to patron this establishment but it will be the last time. We will not be returning. read more

Stopped here while running errands with the family. We all enjoy Japanese food, so Wasabi was a natural choice since we were on the north end of town. Despite the "fast food Chinese" feel of the interior, we were greeted pleasantly by our server and shown to a table that was quickly set with placemats, chopsticks, and menus. The service was very friendly, efficient, and accomodating. I never had to wait for a refill on my beverage, which was fantastic. Our server didn't write down our order, but everything came out correct. Not a single hitch. The gyoza is fabulous. Like little pillows of fried meat heaven. I selflessly let my kids have most of them, but briefly considered challenging my youngest to a match of rock-scissors-paper for the last one. We ordered a couple of chicken meals, all of which were cooked perfectly and a nice portion size for the price point. I thought both the teriyaki sauce and hibachi sauce were a little too sweet, but that's just my personal taste. The fried rice was the best rice ever! Perfectly seasoned, lots of egg and onion chunks, and absolutely yum. The best part was probably the sushi, though. Everything was fresh. The fish portions were generous. The rice was delicately seasoned. I would not hesitate to order sushi from this restaurant again. As a side note, the restrooms were clean and well stocked with soap and paper towels. Overall, it was a first rate experience. We'll definitely be returning! read more

I've tried it several times, ordering different things on the menu. The sushi is average, as is everything else. In a pinch it works but I wouldn't serve this to a friend. read more

Love their sushi lunch specials, my favorites are the spicy crab crunch, spicy shrimp crunch & seaweed salad rolls! I used to love their old crab Rangoon but last time I got it, it was different :( still good tho! And the woman (I assume the owner) who is usually working is always so sweet and draws the cutest designs on the plates. read more

Stopped in for lunch. Wife and I both ordered sushi and the miso soup. We both agreed that the sushi was the best we've had in the area. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Such a wonderful little sushi restaurant hidden between a Weis Market and a Subway Sandwich Shop!!! We've eaten at Wasabi twice now and both times we have been oh so very pleased!! The size of their sushi rolls are outstanding for the price. The 3 roll lunch combination and soup is $9.99 and the 2 roll combo is only $6. We've tried the California roll, the Spicy Crunch Tuna roll, the Spicy Crunch Crab roll, the Tuna roll and the Eel and Avocado roll. You truly can't beat the price and the quality is exceptional. Also, their Seaweed Salad is soooooo wonderful!! read more

Rolls are good, their Kani salad is mostly lettuce. They normally are fairly quick with service for take out.

The food was quick and tasted great. Highly impressed by the food here. Surely worth a stop if in the Hagerstown area and looking for a great meal. read more

I've eaten here often. While the food is ok, the woman that runs the restaurant is far from professional and treats customers rudely if she does not approve of the tip that they leave. I witnessed her hold up a customer that apparently did not leave the 25% that she wanted to have and then told them that she would add it in on their bill the next time. The customer tried to explain to her that that would be illegal, but she didn't seem to care or understand. Will not return. read more

You can't beat the prices here for sushi. And they have even better lunch special deals. I come here pretty frequently. But since the sushi is so cheap you definitely get why you pay for... the rolls aren't wrapped tightly the avocado is mushy from the WARM rice and other ingredients. Today tho I found a spider crawling on my sushi. Will not be going back read more

We found Wasabi this afternoon...and I don't know what took us so long! It's across the street from the Pennsylvania Dutch market and next to the Subway. If you haven't been there, I would strongly suggest you go ASAP! The prices are very affordable, they have several pages of sushi options (both raw and cooked), and everything we had was delicious! I HIGHLY recommend you try the sweet potato roll, it's my new favorite! Wasabi is a hidden gem of delicious food! read more

Really good food and excellent service 10/10 recommend, me and my husband we love the place and the food

Once upon a time, before these new owners took over, Wasabi was the place to go. It was a great place to stop for a quick bite that was fresh, fast and delicious. Sadly however, the new owners that took over are either rookies in the kitchen, or just hell bent on destroying the Wasabi name. Let me explain why I say these things. Two days ago I ordered a chicken fried rice. Something that I used to love from Wasabi because the chicken was always perfectly seasoned, it tasted fresh and vibrant, the rice was lovely and flaky and delicious. To me, it was the best fried rice anywhere in Washington county. However, when I ordered it two days ago from the new owners, it was borderline inedible. Instead of fresh and flavorful, I got soggy undercooked and tasteless. Even worse, the chicken tasted like something that was defrosted 10 minutes ago and thrown in a pan with no seasoning, and the rice was soft to almost mushy, close to sticky rice consistency. I could not believe this came out of Wasabi. So, I figured it was probably just an off day. Everybody has one of those. So I decided to give them another try today. Sadly that was not the case. I ordered both types of chicken noodles, one udon and one soba, and both were soggy and disgusting. I have attached a picture of the soba noodles. I also ordered some sushi with the meal and thankfully they haven't turned that into a disaster...yet. The sushi is the only reason why they have two stars in this review because it's still as good as I remembered. As I write this review, I feel sick to my stomach just looking at that oily soggy mess they call noodles. I guess I'll be taking my business to the place across the street from now on. The owner over there has an attitude problem but at least their food is consistently good. I sadly cannot say the same about Wasabi anymore. What a shame. read more

My takeout order was ready quickly and they handed it to me as soon as I walked in, which is appreciated anytime, but especially during COVID. When I got it home, it was delicious! It was fresh and expertly prepared. It came with plentiful condiments (wasabi, soy sauce and ginger.) The salmon lovers with its fresh fish and surprising amount of flavor and texture on the rolls-- love the tiny sprinkles of tempura--was my favorite. They held together well. The rainbow naruto, while tasty, was a little unwieldy for me. The gyoza and its dipping sauce were flavorful, but it could have been a little crisper... that could be the nature of takeout, though, and I was still able to enjoy it. Overall, I would heartily recommend this place and eagerly return if I am ever in Hagerstown again. read more

We miss Cocoa, but the food is still excellent. Best sushi in Hagerstown and we are picky about our sushi.

I was visiting Hagerstown and we've decided to try this place based on the reviews, this place is a GEM one of the best sushi places I've ever ate, everything thing we've tried was so good, and great service and presentation out of this world for a small place. I'm a very picky food eater, specially sushi I don't eat sushi at places I don't know, been going over the same restaurant at my hometown for over 20 years. I will definitely go there again. Just love it. read more

Freshest sushi in Hagerstown! 10/10 recommend Definitely put effort into each ingredient they use. I've see other sushi/hibachi restaurants use soggy, old shrimp tempura in their sushi & this place is completely opposite. I also think it's most important to support small & family business in these hard times after quarantine, especially the ones deserving of praise. read more

Decent quality. The food was a fair portion for the price. Easy to call in orders and they are usually ready in less than 15 mins even for large orders. Sushi is a good healthy portion for a fair price and the lunch special includes miso soup or salad. read more

Great food, good location, a little over priced for everything except lunch. It's worth a shot. We eat here a lot.
