Reviews for Wasabi Sushi & Thai Restaurant in Cary, NC
If I have to post any review either I should have a best experience or worst experience. I had a series of worst incidents... happened. 1) Walked in at 7:45pm, there was no waiting time. Requested for a booth the waiter said it may take few minutes wesaid OK and waiting at the reception area he told us to wait outside even though it?s so cold out there. This is the firsttriggering point. I wanted to walk out but the waiter changed his mind and asked us to wait at the bar. Thought fair enough.Decided to stay. 2) Tried to get couple drinks and walked to the at attender and asked for drinks. He said you may sit at yourseats will come and get you while waiting for the table. Few minutes later he came to us and said you can?t get the booth asthat section closes at 8pm for cleaning. An hour before closing. This is second triggering point. 3I never walked I been to arestaurant who closes sections at least an hour before. On top of that no respect in his voice. I said I want to talk to themanger. He said he is the manager. Surprised how a manger can talk like that with customers. I said I may have to share myexpense on Google. He said you do whatever you like. This is third triggering point. 4) Still decided to stay try to calm downand try the food as there are 820 plus reviews already. He made us sit at a table looks like a booth but it has bench seat andchairs. I don?t know how he became a manger. This is fourth triggering point 5) Finally sat at our table met our waitress Golfand ordered food. I have to be honest and she is nice and out of all the food we ordered Caribbean Breeze drink and KaniAvocado are delicious. But the Thai Basil chicken fried rice has slightly poultry smell. If you are OK when you walk-in in at7:45 pm with this kind of treatment, and staff are in a rush to close by 9pm with mopping and cleaning in front of you then feelfree to visit this restaurant.

Stirred fry menu taste good and authentic. However, I noticed that the portion of sticky rice that served with crispy fried pork... got reduced for no reason unlike last time I had. We ordered medium spicy for papaya salad but it came out too hot for us Thaisto eat. When we asked for a new one, it came out so bland. The replacement papaya salad dish was missing fermented fish saucetoo. Where is middle ground here? Read more
Variety, Quality, Service, and Atmosphere are all fantastic! Wasabi offers a lot of menu options so do not be scared off by the... Sushi, if that is not your thing. There is such a great variety to choose from, everyone should be able to find a luxurious mealoption. If you are not familiar with some of the items or descriptions on the menu, do not hesitate to ask the staff and asktheir recommendations. They are very friendly and personable and do not appear to mind taking some time to chat and share menuinsights. The Thai Dumplings and Shrimp in Blankets appetizers were excellent. We could taste the different flavors in ThaiDumplings, being able to note the crab and shitake flavors. The wonton wrapper of the shrimp was crisp and golden. With thechicken and shrimp filling and sweet chili sauce made this a very delicious appetizer. The Tempura Shrimp Dinner was quiteimpressive in presentation and flavor. The tempura has a very strong, buttery flavor with light, crisp fried texture. Theportion was very generous and included as many tempura fried vegetables as shrimp. The sauce was good, savory brown sauce,though I would have preferred more of the sweet chili sauce. The savory sauce did provide a nice counterpoint to the butterybatter. Read more
I been here so many times, the food is pretty good, staff super friendly. The reason I give 4 stars because sometimes I been... here the food is a little bit salty and overcooked! But it?s ok, I?m keep coming here! ( I know we cannot perfect all the time)best choice for my Thai and Japanese food in Cary. Read more
Came here with my friends on a Saturday and it was a pretty huge restaurant! There was a lot of seating and we were served... promptly. I?m picky with sushi and Thai food- so I tried their BOGO sushi and it was alright. I don?t think it was out of thisworld but it hit the spot on my sushi cravings. The menu was huge as well, so I couldn?t tell what their specialties were. Theplaza this place is located in is a cute spot to spend a day at, so it had a nice ambience. Not sure if I would go out of my wayto come back, but it?s a solid spot to eat :) Read more
Honestly my rating is probably a 3.5, not 3 stars. The pros-GREAT service, for real the staff was very sweet, prompt, and... knowledgeable, really nice presentation, and large portions. Cons-the seafood was inconsistent, some was overcooked, some cookedwell, but the majority, especially the mussels and lobster, were overcooked. The sauce on his noodles was also very, very sweet,which was actually a running theme. The cocktails we had were also very sweet, like too much syrup was used. The sushi I had wasgood. I did get a tempura battered roll (didn't see that it was all fried, thought it had tempura in it), again, the seafood wasslightly overcooked. The menu is also large, almost overwhelmingly so, especially if you're hungry. Not like Cheesecake Factorylarge, but big. There is also gluten free kind of mentioned online, and I can tell you that means no tempura, no sauces of anykind, including soy, and no masago. People with gluten allergies could probably find somewhere else with more variety. Overall,the experience was...fine, again, great service so absolutely zero issue there. But in this day and age if people are going tospend money the quality should be a lot higher. Read more
Take out service for a Thursday night was pretty long about 40+ mins, I?m guessing because the dine-in area was also pretty... busy. The food is good for the price. Nothing about the rolls makes it stand out from the rest of the sushi restaurants around.I do like that this restaurant is located within an outdoor shopping area with a variety of other restaurants and shops nextdoor Read more
I loved the sushi here! Especially the spicy salmon and the deep fried one my boyfriend ordered. The ambiance here is quite... nice. Sushi took a little while to come out, but the wait wasn?t too too long. The beauty and the beast and the jalapeño rollwere a little disappointing, though. Read more
