Confirmed. Approved. Rounds for 3 Cold, refreshing Sapporo was flowing too. Given that hibachi rooms are usually a full-volume symphony of knives, fire, and birthday chants (in just over 2 hrs, we enjoyed 4 gongs!) -- I was pleasantly surprised. Even without sound-absorbing decor or cozy furniture, the noise level stayed lively but not chaotic. No shouting across the table, no sensory overload. A win. Our chef brought the right mix of skill and personality (entertaining without trying too hard), our server was on it, and drinks showed up consistently and on time -- which, let's be honest, is half the battle. Officially found a go-to outside of Manchester for sushi and hibachi. Cheers to good food, good company, and Saki shoots, but safely.

Don't ask me how or why but it wasn't very appealing. General Gao Chicken was cloyingly sweet with no spice at all. Mrs. StoneOld enjoyed the Chicken and Broccoli other than the undercooked Broccoli.

We walked in and were greeted and seated right away. I went with the salmon special and thought it was good. I also tried some of my partner's fried rice, which was also tasty. The servers were attentive, and the restaurant was busy on a Friday night. Overall, it was a nice experience.

They say you never forget your first. The first time I ever tried hibachi was at a place called…read moreMiyabi in Fayetteville, NC. Now, I can't tell whether it's pure nostalgia or merely personal preference. But that place has since been what wifey and I consider to be the "gold standard" for what hibachi should taste like. It's been nearly 15 years and our opinion hasn't changed since. So, when we happen upon a place like Wasabi, we're certainly gonna notice and criticize culinary anomalies such as not using so much as an OUNCE of seasoning on any of the proteins, veggies, or rice. Oh, and spoilers up front - it's never a good sign when the appetizers outshine the main course. Lobster Rangoon: I'll be honest here. I never knew anyone offered Lobster Rangoon until we came here. I suppose it was inevitable sooner or later; a logical ingredient to use, if not crab. Well anyway, this app was pleasantly superb! Unfortunately, it's also where the evening peaked. Nevertheless, it's a 9 out of 10, highly recommend!! Clear soup: Normally, I never even bother giving this its own paragraph. I just wanted to highlight my first impressions rather quickly to say, while not ALL bad, it was mostly lacking in flavor whilst simultaneously harboring a hint of spice. All that's to say...there's not a lot going on here. I guess I should have asked if substituting soups was an option here. It's...whatever. 3 out of 10. Lobster and steak: Okay. A few things of note here - there's apparently no option to upgrade your cut of steak to filet as with most other hibachi restaurants. So, I assume this was a top sirloin of sorts. Naturally, I got mine mid-rare and it's a good thing, too. Because despite its ostensibly rubbery texture, I can't begin to imagine how tough its exterior would have been were it cooked well done. And no...there was zero seasoning added to it, outside of soy sauce, some butter, and a bit of minced garlic. Whole thing tasted like bland puppy chow. Fortunately, the half cup or so of additional soy sauce *kinda* saved it. 4 out of 10. Now, the lobster tail and appetizer shrimp were slightly better, mostly due to the added dash of lemon during cooking, combined with how well it pairs with the yum yum sauce. But once again....not an ounce of seasoning could be damned. What a let down! 5 out of 10. Fried rice: here's where I usually can gauge pretty quickly where the chef stands in their ability to season food. It's normally the first thing to come off the grill. But I left this one for last because this is, funnily enough, where the majority of that soy sauce you see in my "after" photo went. It's like the chef went out of his way to add the absolute minimal amount of flavor possible to the rice. It's nights like these I wish they were the type of place that left salt and pepper on the table. Oh, and I've NEVER been much a fan of peas in fried rice, much less peas at all. After adding about half a bottle of soy sauce, this one's a 4 out of 10 for me. Look, I don't want or like to lament on places like this. After all, hibachi holds a special place in my heart. Hell, even the service was fairly decent. But cordiality can only get you so far if the product you're serving is mediocre as hell and ineptly prepared. The one GOOD thing I can say about this experience is at least we know there's no need to travel so far to get decent hibachi. Ergo, we'll be sticking to the likes of Sakura and The Seafood King in Nashua and Manchester, respectively. Wasabi in Salem gets 3 steak & lobster dinners in desperate need of seasoning out of 5.

We were a group of 6 people and were seated right away. They have an extensive menu for food and drinks. Everything is Japanese with some Peruvian flavours. For drinks half of us tried the fruit juices, made fresh. The other half opted for beer. The fruit juice was more like a smoothie. It was incredible and I would have definitely ordered more if I weren't full. It came in a strawberry and a pineapple flavour. I got the strawberry-ginger and it was very refreshing. For appetizers we got vegetable tempura, a shrimp wrapped in plantain tempura, and a chicken avocado tart of some sort. The veg tempura were meh but the rest of the appetizers were phenomenal. Especially the shrimp wrapped in plantain! For mains, some of us got seafood soba noodles, sushi and a fish dish. The food was pretty unique. The soba noodles did not look like soba, I think they used regular ramen noodles instead. However the sauce and seafood flavours were such a hit! Great find in Lawrence! Overall great experience. The service could be nicer. Will definitely be back for an after work dinner.

But if someone is going to pay at least 32-50 for hibachi the quality should be up to par. I got steak and salmon hibachi for about 40- the salmon was two very thin slices and steak about a single serving size. One of the problems with this price range is they will charge you extra for fried rice (isnt that the reason go for hibachi?), extra for "garlic noodles"- that was 50% soy sauce. Dumps a load of lomein on the griddle and gave it a soy sauce bath, no garlic. The food was extremely salty, the sauces they also gave were poorly made- watery and extremely salty. Hibachi sauces should be gingery, garlicky, a little thick and flavorful. Most places will also give a creamy sauce, they gave something with cheap hot mustard in it and something else that was also watery and salty it was not appealing at all. The only positive is the cook was really nice, but you guys need to work on whatever recipes you have currently and re-evaluate the pricing for the quality youre giving out. We shouldve went to Tomo if i was going to spend that much.

I chose it because I was in the area and have long noted that it comes up often in regional groups when members ask for Chinese recs. Went with my usual move of a combo and an app. Chicken Wings (appetizer): An order of four connected wings, equivalent to 8 pieces, or closer to 10 if you factor in that they were gigantic. Crispness varied greatly, but tenderness and juiciness prevailed in every piece. Slight marinade presence, but also close to supermarket roasted chicken flavor. Size matters and juiciness matters more, so well above average. General Gau's Chicken (on a combo): Small bite-sized pieces. Sweet, gloppy orange sauce. Mild heat. Minimal crispness. Average; maybe even a little below, but doable. Egg Roll (on the combo): Standard exterior, mostly cabbage interior, with tiny specs of red pork. Not much flavor but good freshness and crunch. Possibly average for those tolerant of cabbage, but below average for the celery-only crowd. Pork Fried Rice (on the combo): Not bad, but not much pork, not much warmth, not much moisture, not much flavor. Not surprisingly, not much better than not quite average. Hot and Sour Soup (with the combo): Thin broth. Some spice, but more vinegar, and some soy. More meaty than mushroomy. Average or a bit below. Duck Sauce: Bears mentioning. Large syrup dispenser filled with a pink blush mixture that's probably blended apple sauce and grenadine. Not a disaster, but certainly not a triumph, especially considering the many recs. There's still plenty to like: lot parking, good value, and an exceptionally friendly bartender whose good cheer might put regulars in a good enough mood to make the food seem better. The wings showed enough potential to try again, maybe with ribs or teriyaki. And enough potential overall to try again, but if I'm picking places in the area, this one wouldn't be first.
