For a late dinner today, I decided to try the Bun Bo Hue ($14.95)…read more Unfortunately, it barely had the funky chili sauce that defines the dish. Without that, it resembled a slightly richer bowl of pho with wider rice noodles. Not bad as a noodle soup on its own terms, but it isn't an actual Bun Bo Hue. I also ordered spring rolls ($7). These had both shrimp and some tofu-meat approximation - not the new-age plant-based stuff, mind you, but the sort of fake meat that Buddhists have refined and perfected over a millennia of not eating meat. The rice paper was a bit chewy, but not yet stale.

He was friendly and service was decent, so thank you to him (don't remember his name, I'm so bad with names.) Mai tai: Wasn't awful but not worth $16. Crab Rangoons: Smaller than usual Rangoons, very little flavor, cost $14. Also not worth the price. Basil beef egg rolls: OMG those were veggie spring rolls with literally so little beef and basil that I tore that sucker apart and found one minuscule piece of ground beef and zero basil. Waste of money. Sashimi lunch: One piece of salmon was 1" x 1" in size, no word of a lie. The tuna was fishy and something with a silver skin (mackerel?) was inedible because it was so fishy. Other pieces were edible. White rice was fine, helped kill the fishiness. Sesame Chicken and General Tso lunch specials: Our friend got sesame chix and it looked like a decent portion and she said it was good. Other friend got General Tso and had similar portion and ate the whole thing. Moral of the story: I don't know how they stay in business. I guess Chinese lunch specials are the way to go? Total of bill after tip for 4 people (only one person had a cocktail, others only had water) was $140. Pure insanity. YMMV

I want to warn all potential diners here, this is not an authentic Thai restaurant. My suspicion is…read morethis is a Thai restaurant that sold to a group of non- Thai cooks and owners. In fact, I felt like I was dining at an Indian version of Thai food. We came here when the restaurant was empty, and the service and food delivery was extremely slow.

We came at lunchtime so asked for the lunch menu, but reading through the reviews, it seems like we should've gone with the dinner menu if we wanted sashimi. The food was as generally good, but we didn't care for the chicken fried rice. We expected fried rice with veggies and egg, but got rice that was doused in soy sauce and fried. Not the best, but we ate it because we didn't want to be charged. The sunrise roll was pretty good but the snapper on top wasn't the best cut of fish which meant there were some chewy bits and part of it tasted odd. The real stand out items were the tempura veggies, tempura chicken, beef teriyaki, and salmon cucumber roll. The plum mule was the best cocktail we tried, but the cocktails were generally good. The dessert mochi was a solid way to finish the meal. $5 per two piece order or free if you pay cash.

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.
