This place was amazing! We had a short wait (10 mins) due to coming at peak dining time, but the waitstaff were very kind and kept us updated on when our table would be ready. The food was delicious and I was very happy with everything I ordered! I was pleasantly surprised with the sushi rolls-they are great quality for the price and 8 pieces which have a great value. I could rave forever about the service but first I have to mention the experience! We were seen almost right away and the staff did not rush us at all considering the restaurant was at full capacity. The stars aligned and we were given free boba for being the 100th table of the day, not to mention we received free desert! Amazing quality, great service, good vibes! read more

I called and nobody picked up. I showed up and was told to use the terminal to order. When I said I know what I want she just kept pointing at the terminal. Worst service I've ever had. I'll be going to luekens for ramen I guess. Ramen has been a 5/10 sushi a 4/10 but it's the only place around. Never coming back read more

You must go! We were just looking for a good dining experience and yummy food. This place was so fun. We got the fried lobster dish and the lobster was so crispy and the battered crust was honestly so incredible. I got 2 types of ramen to try-one was spicy miso and the other was a beef broth one. So fresh , large servings good prices. We got yellowtail nigiri and the fish wasn't too fishy and very fresh and I love ginger and that was very fresh and snappy too. wonderful service! Ramune soda is always a win. Peach flavor was our favorite. Also got the crab cream cheese egg roll things and they were perfectly sweet and crispy. Such a good experience. Our waiter didn't speak great English but I personally find that sweet. He was so kind and it feels like a cultural experience. Homey vibes, you can watch them cook if you wanted, moody lights and you can hear the kitchen magic so other peoples conversation feels muted just enough to not feel awkward in a small space. There was a private room too and if we lived around here I would have my birthday there! read more

The interior is a bit dark but that makes it great for dinner. I got takeout ramen and sushi and that did not affect the quality at all. High quality sushi and the tonkotsu ramen broth was very rich. Very light but buttery flavor broth. The service was very nice. Highly recommend for either dine-in or takeout! read more

Excellent service and great food! We will be back to visit again! Ambiance was wonderful!

I travel a lot with work and finding good satisfying food for dinner is always a challenge. At Bemidji I did an order pick up. Food was ready quickly, service was very friendly. The dragon roll was delicious. I also had the Hong Kong Ramen, flavor was good just a bit salty for my taste. I would definitely come back here next time I'm in town. read more

Good selection of sushi. We had California, Philly and Spicy Tuna. Very good. Would eat here again.

Sushi was good and very fresh. Ramen had huge tasty shrimp in a broth that was just right spicy. read more

Excellent service! Great value! Awesome tuna tower, sashimi salad, corona roll! Highly recommend!

This is not Japanese food. The noodles were undercooked and some are stuck together. The egg is not a five-minutes egg. The pork belly is not really Japanese style pork belly. I even doubt it is the belly meat. The soup was all wrong. The crispy tofu is not real Japanese tofu. The other dishes are all not real Japanese food. Even though you are not Japanese, if you want to run a Japanese restaurant, you should visit Japan and taste the real Japanese food, such as Ichiran Raman. At least, visit Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. Putting rice, fish, and seaweed together is not a real sushi. The price is not worthy. read more

I ordered the ramen, and it was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, with a perfect balance of umami that made every sip enjoyable. The noodles were cooked to perfection--springy and satisfying--and the toppings, including tender slices of pork and soft-boiled egg, elevated the dish even further. read more

Pretty good sushi here and excellent service. The proprietor of this location also owns the Thai spot down the block, it is pretty clear he has this biz down to a science. Been here half a dozen times, planning on visiting a whole lot more. read more

Ordered on the phone 2 of the Two Roll Deluxe for a to go. They are $17.00 each on their website and at the restaurant they tried to charge me $19.95 each. Someone tried to argue with me over it and then they just suggested I cancelled the order. Kept calling me "hon", too. Kind of tacky. Beware. read more

Exceeded my expectations as soon as I walked in the door. From the outside this place didn't look like much but I was craving sushi so I thought I'd give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the dining area and as soon as I walked in customer service was top notch. The staff here were very attentive and happily answered my questions about the menu. I deviated from my typical fried sushi order and went for the Bemidji Roll. This roll did not disappoint and was just as delicious as it looks, the Wasabi/Sriracha ratio was perfect. I can't wait to go back and happy to have found a nice sushi spot in Bemidji. read more

Very good food quality everything we ordered came out as ordered and quickly it was a delicious meal. I would highly recommend. Food and service that was above and beyond to make it a great dining experience. We ordered a variety of items: rolls, edemame, miso, Agadashi tofu, sea food ramen, katsu chicken all was hot fresh and delicious and well presented. Nice relaxing soft coffee house music too. Decoration theme was nicely done too. read more

The quality of the sushi here is very bad. Ordered a spicy salmon roll, and to my suprise, there was a sweet chili sauce covered over the sushi. This was awful. Rice on the sushi was either very soft or hard. Customer service was nice, but that doesn't make up for the bad food. read more

Food was amazing!! Very friendly staff. Kind of a hole in the wall but great over all experience! read more

Delicious and very affordable for a sushi place. We're not from the area but would stop again next time we pass through.

What a nice surprise! Great sushi in Bemidji. Had the Bemidji Roll and broiled eel roll. Excellent. Very fresh, reasonably priced and friendly and helpful server and staff. We will be back! read more

Wasabi Sushi - Bemidji - Bemidji Roll. Broiled Eel Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

Really delicious. Service was pretty slow but it was worth the wait. Small restaurant that also offers takeout.

I love Wasabi. It is the only sushi restaurant in like... 100 miles??? They always have new and creative rolls they come out with and I love it. Delicious every time. My only problems I've had is I ordered something (total was $77) and when I went to pick it up they denied I ordered it and didn't refund me. They also make boba tea very expensive for a very small cup. Expensive place but delicious and the only good sushi for miles. read more

The first time we had this (right after they opened) it was phenomenal. Last night we ordered it for the second time and it was not good. The tempura was edible but not great, the caterpillar roll was soggy and had shrimp tail chunks throughout it. The spider roll was good but the seaweed edges were a bit tough. It was a sad dinner :( read more

This place has an incredible flaky quality to it. Some sushi has actual effort put into it and some are absolutely terrible( the veggie roll is gross and they lied about having avocado in it) The ramen can be ok or really cold sometimes. Don't try any alternative dishes from the main popular items because they don't put effort toward those. The dak galbi is just some small pieces of chicken with 60% of the meal being just plain white rice and two slices of cucumbers. The cost to actual quantity size is deplorable. Overcharging for items and barely giving anything. I gave in many attempts and had enough read more

Came Sunday for late lunch. We were seated right away. Our order was brought very quickly. Food was delicious. The tempura shrimp with the vegetables is a must. I got the caterpillar roll and it was fresh and full of flavor. Husband got the tempura chicken. No complaints from us, we had a great experience. read more

Mushy noodles. I ordered Hong Kong noodles to take home and I received mushy noodles that I could not eat and throw away. Never again!

I went last week with friends and we sat in the back room which was fun and cozy. We loved every specialty roll (we ended up ordering all of them but 2), as well as the tempura app. It's by far the best sushi option in Bemidji, and may not compare to sushi in San Francisco, but better than I expected for northern Minnesota. My mojito wasn't great- barely any booze or mint, but that's the only thing we ordered that needed improvement. read more

This place is truly a gem! Everything we've eaten here has been top quality, well-prepared and delicious. Personal favorites are the Corona Roll, Chicken Katsu, and the Ramen with pork belly. We have not hesitated in recommending Wasabi to anyone looking for someplace in the Bemidji area. The 45 minute drive from the area we live is absolutely worth it! read more

The food here is always so good. Now as far as the waitress I had today was very poor. Right after she took my order she proceeded to get onto her cell phone and talk to somebody about some order she had made. I also watched somebody else walk in she put the lady on hold to take the lady's order and proceeded to go back and talk to her walking around the back of the restaurant. As I was getting ready to leave I had my food in front of me my chopsticks and I already paid my bill she walks by my table snatches my chopsticks off the table put some in her pocket and keeps walking I have no idea what this was about but I was going to take them with me. To me it was very poor service read more

Sigh..... What can I say other than it was disappointing. They had just opened for the day and were not going to be serving most of the menu. I had the broiled eel roll. Very BASIC! And WAY over priced for 4 pieces. The chef could see my disappointment in my face and asked for suggestions. I asked if he got fresh fish and ingredients every day. He said no. And it shows. Kale should NEVER BE ON SUSHI! Will never go back. Do not recommend. read more

I was excited to hear that a real sushi bar was opening. I am from the west coast where sushi is in abundance and always delicious. We ordered California rolls both normal and spicy. Also an avacodo tempura roll. We were disappointed in size of the rolls for price. 3 California rolls fit into 1 tiny container. We are use to barely being able to fit 1 piece into our mouths. The regular California roll: again very small, crab was a chunk vs. Shredded (texture preference). Spicy california roll: this was our favorite of the 3 we ordered, but again lacking in portion size. The avocado shrimp tempura roll: good. They had all the sushi specific sauces and favorites. Presentation dine in is great, but take out is lacking. Takeout should be just as pleasing to the eye as dine in, paying the same price. Overall, flavors are good for being in the middle of the states. Recommended if you are not sushi experienced or picky. Price is steep for the amount you get per roll. read more

I ate here the other night with my boyfriend. The place is very small and has very small tables which could be an inconvenience in some situations, but I think it was ok, for ours as I am not super huge. My boyfriend did complain a little about it though. We had the spider roll and a salmon roll, and due to the combo roll deal were able to get both for 17$. Which is pretty great for sushi around our area. The spider roll was decent, definitely not the best though, it could've been a little warmer I think. I really enjoyed the salmon roll though! They put the raw fish inside the roll instead of on top like other sushi places I've been to; I really enjoyed this because the raw fish wasn't so overpowering then. Had a very nice atmosphere and service. Am glad to have a decent sushi place near me and will be going back. read more

***You can't seat more than 4 people together without a reservation in the back*** The sushi is the best option in town but it still isn't fantastic. Sushi rolls will cost about $9 but they won't fill you up entirely, so prepare for a light meal or to order multiple rolls. read more

We are visiting from the Twin Cities. the food here especially their Ramen and sushi are especially good! Will come back for sure.

I have tried many sushi places in different states and I'm lucky enough to have one of the best in my own home town! I love the Spider roll and the crunch munch!!!! read more

The restaurant was very full when we got there. The two things that stood out for us were - 1) the concern of the waitstaff about a dietary issue. Our server checked several times with the chefs about the exact ingredients in the menu items and I appreciated this a lot. 2) the food was hands down delicious. The appetizers we ordered were the tempura calamari and veggie and ceviche. The rolls we ordered were the spicy salmon and the spider. We will definitely be back. read more

Sat for an hour waiting for a couple rolls and a order of tempura. Two sushi chefs and a dozen people. They just opened but you don't win customers with crappy sushi. The tempura was burnt with the shrimp browned to the point of burnt popcorn. When we finally got the roll. (They forgot one) it was so small it was laughable. When we told them of the missing roll they put us on the back of the list and after 15 minutes we cancelled it and left. Complete waste of time and money. I'm sure there is a special place in hell for sushi chefs that put mayo on sushi. read more

What a great surprise!! We shared the Bedmidji Roll and the Caterpillar Roll. They were so good we would order them again. Prices are fair for the quality. The service was excellent. Great little hidden gem. read more
