    Sample sushi boat

    Great service and atmosphere. The sushi is great. We also enjoyed the Thai dumplings.

    Thai Dumplings
    Bren H.

    Wasabi is my favorite Thai restaurants in the area!! We came in on a Saturday evening and the place was busy. We got seated right away and our server was brining us waters before we sat down! Throughout the whole experience our server was attentive and quick. We started with Thai dumplings which were very tasty and scrumptious. They do only come with 5 so not a crowd feeder. We ordered chicken pad Thai which is one of our favorites. It is served hot with carrots, peanuts, and bean spouts! They had the perfect blend of sauce to noodles ratio and i HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend y'all try this. We also tried the poke bowl which was new to their menu. I got the wasabi style one with asparagus, edamame, jalapeños, and avocados. It was very very delicious and the waitress was kind enough to give me both dressings on the side to try. The jalapeños do give this bowl a kick, so it may not be for everyone. Wonderful experience here and will certainly be back! Excited for my leftovers tomorrow!! I can also speak very highly of their take out services here too.

    Update Review Menu has changed and there are less specials but still a good sushi place to try.

    Delicious mocktails, appetizers and entrees. Attentive service, tuna and vegetables were very fresh. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Entrance on end of building parking available in front and back. Cary amphitheater and currently Chinese lantern festival nearby. Plan for traffic if going to free parking around 6pm

    Pad See Ew (tofu)
    Priscilla R.

    We came here because the restaurant we wanted to eat at was closed and was pleasantly surprised. It was not busy at all on a Monday early afternoon. We were quickly seated and our server quickly came and asked for our drink order (water). Food: I ordered one entre. The pad see ew with tofu and it was delicious. This is the most tofu I've ever seen on any Thai noodle dish from any restaurant. It was a little low on the noodle portion but since I never fully finish my meals it was perfect for me. The flavors were amazing. Be warned, The menu is a bit overwhelming and extremely extensive. Service: our server was prompt to take our orders. Was friendly and gave us more time when we needed and answered our questions about the menu. Price: I feel that for serving sizes they may be a tad bit overpriced but the ingredients and flavors are so fresh and vibrant that it possibly makes up for it. Ambiance: great seating options and space decor. I wish tables were a bit further away as I could hear a nearby tables entire date conversation though no one was speaking particularly loud. Otherwise everything was clean. Would come back to try other menu items.

    Lunch menu

    Came here for lunch while getting my car serviced at Honda dealership up the street. Love Thai food so I searched for Thai near me. Wasabi is in a shopping center. Parking can be a little hard to find if you come during busy times. Walked in around 2:30 in the afternoon and was seated right away by the hostess. I ordered pad thai with chicken med spicy. Food came out pretty quick about ten minutes. The dish wasn't spicy enough for me but it's fine, I asked the waitress to bring me some thai spices. Added it and was very tasty just what I needed. Came with a salad . Service was ok she seemed very rushed and impatient but she did check on me a couple of times and refilled my water. Overall I would come back. Prices are good for quality of the food:)

    Grand sushi morí. The head chef picks the best selection.
    Jennifer H.

    The sushi was 5 stars. I ordered the grand sushi mori and the head chef created it himself giving me the best items such as otoro, salmon belly, and uni. Everything was amazing, even the rice. Cooked and flavored perfectly. Usually i try to drown the rice in soy sauce, but it didn't need it. I also ordered fresh wasabi and the truffle tuna appetizer special. The appetizer melted in my mouth. They didn't skimp on the truffle so don't get this unless you LOVE truffles, which I do. The lack of a star is for the service. We asked to be seated at the sushi bar and then we sat. The chef had to finally ask the server to come take our orders because we waited so long. I also had to request things I had ordered but were forgotten. He was very nice and we weren't in a rush, but if they had a good FOH manager this place would be incredible.

    Yellowtail Crudo
    Denise C.

    Our recent visit to Wasabi in Cary was exceptional: delicious flavors, beautiful presentation, and impeccable service. We started with a new item on their menu, the yellowtail crudo. The yellowtail paired perfectly with refreshing mango -- a true taste of summer. Next, the tuna truffle. The tuna, topped with a mouthwatering truffle sauce was outstanding. Chef Tony's ultimate creation was the nigiri and sashimi platter--an impressive display of the freshest fish, expertly prepared and beautifully presented. For an outstanding dining experience in Cary, check out Wasabi and tell Kandy I sent you! They also do a 10 course omakase experience twice a week. (Make sure you call ahead for reservations for omakase. Seats are limited)

    My wife & I enjoyed a scrumptious dinner at Wasabi on 12/15/2023. The food was beautiful & yummy. Service was kind & prompt. They have ample table's & seating throughout, which was spaced well so as to not feel cramped. It's been a few years since we'd been, but won't be long before we're back again.

We set up a reservation as it is can be difficult to just drop in unless you are prepared to wait. The atmosphere is great, with excellent ambiance, and all the staff that we met were very upbeat and kind. To start we had the Tom Kha soup and a sushi roll, spicy tuna. The Tom Kha was very disappointing. It just had a very very watered down taste with hardly any coconut flavor. It was missing the traditional Thai flavor and had zero sour flavor to it that is usually brought in by the lime juice at the end. Perhaps they forgot to make it properly. The spicy tuna roll was just ok. It had heavy rice with a small amount of tuna. Freshness was good. My wife ordered the Pad Thai which must be the most popular dish as everyone was ordering it. Her feedback was that it was average and a bit dry. I ordered the Pad Kra Pao which was very good. The flavor was excellent and I used the remaining sauce to put over some steamed white rice. My only feedback was the spice level. I specifically asked my server if the spice was traditional Thai level or was he grading the spice on a more moderate scale. He assured me, the levels were Thai and that the food was very spicy. I went medium spice and it was very light and tame. I would go more spicy in the future. Overall the experience was a nice outing and we enjoyed the location. The food however was very mid range. Having traveled throughout Thailand, I was really hoping to have a more authentic experience but this feels like a sort of fusion. We have now tried 4 or 5 Thai spots around the greater Triangle area and Osha has been at the bottom food wise. With such amazing other feedback, I have to wonder if we just experienced an off-night for the amazing Thai food

But I recently dined in, and unfortunately it was a bit of a letdown. We ordered the Thai Wings Zab, which felt like plain chicken coated heavily in chili powder. I don't mind spice, but this one felt like heat with no substance to back it up with. The other dish I tried was the Thai basil chicken stir fry, which is mainly the reason for this 3-star rating. The chicken was really rubbery and I was surprised that a Thai restaurant didn't quite deliver on such a classic basil dish.

The hostess/server greeted us as we came in and showed us to a table. We saw a good assortment of Thai dishes, including a whole page of vegetarian options. There were four types of tea to select from (I chose Jasmine). My wife and I selected entrees and asked about their soups. They have a coconut soup and the server suggested a big bowl to share and asked if we wanted to add chicken. We did. Let me tell you, that soup was delicious!!! It was a large bowl, large enough that if we went to Thai 54 again we'd share the soup and a single entree. My wife had a chicken and vegetables stir fry. She really enjoyed it. I had the massaman curry. Excellent. Just a hint of spice. When we fly into RDU again, we'll return to Thai 54.
