Review content:
Many consider this the best sushi in OC. Based on glowing reviews from locals, I expected greatness. The simple fact of the matter is Sushi Wasabi is vastly overrated. The quality is respectable, but it does not qualify as top tier given the vast wealth of Japanese sushi masters found in Southern California. Unfortunately, Wasabi is frequented by loudmouth, nitwit urban professionals who swear no better sushi can be found on the face of the earth. Japanese clientele is rare, a sure warning sign for anyone seeking out truly authentic Japanese sushi or sashimi. My review is based on three different trips. Each time, I sat at a packed omakase-only sushi bar. The itamae worked alone behind the bar that served about 15 customers. Service was extremely slow and served in a mass produced mechanical fashion. There was virtually no interaction between itamae and customer. The quality of the fish is good, portions on the small side and prices on the high side. I know of 15+ sushi bars in LA with similar quality fish and most at lower cost. That being said, Sushi Wasabi is a step below the 10 or so upper tier sushi bars found in the LA area. On my last and most likely final visit, I noted a disturbing situation. A patron walked in at 12:45 PM and was denied service. Lunch hours end at 1:40, but the hostess informed him that there was no more fish. She made this ridiculous claim when it was clearly obvious plenty of fish remained in the refrigerator unit above the sushi bar. The simple truth is this: Sushi Wasabi is understaffed and ill prepared to serve more than the smallest groups. Katsu-san seems content to serve decent fish without any passion or flair in drab ambiance with little or no human interaction. To make things worse, the Sake selection is pathetic. In total, I find very little to recommend about Sushi Wasabi.
Pros: Decent Quality Fish
Cons: Overcrowded, Understaffed, Slow Service, Expensive, Weak Sake Selection
