Honestly, my wife and I were walking near Times Square and happened upon this location. Its very spacious on the indoors and has a clean, modern aesthetic. The sushi is fresh and made daily and the service is nice. The prices are good for the location and the food tastes good. Would recommend.
Im leaving a 1 star rating not because the food or the ambience is bad, its due to the aggressive behavior of a single employee at the checkout counter. NYC is packed with tourists and those of us who like Shusi dont expect to pay upward of $1.50 for a 1 Oz. container of sauces. No Shushi restaurant will charge extra for Soy Sauce, or other condiments. I understand NYC is expensive, but charging extra for the sauce, thats a little unconventional. The employee wearing a head wrap and glasses, was rude and obnoxious, dont yell at a patron, especially if they are visiting from out of the country, and certainly not speak to them like they are your adolescent child. For the privacy of the employee im not sharing the name. It was just a rotten experience, because of this individual.
Perfect place for a quick bite or dinner with healthy, tasty food!)) also they have a great bubble tea. Choose a coffee flavor. It’s the best one!) staff is not so friendly. Price for the plate is about $6-$12. Often crowded but you’ll find a table. Chicken teriyaki is awesome 👏🏻
Great place to go if youre looking for packaged sushi and bento all ready for you to eat. They even offered sushi donuts! Only thing I would say though is that the chicken and udon noodles in one of the bentos we purchased was too dry, making it almost tasteless and inedible. Make an effort to seek out the fresh, hot ones!
Love this place. The food is super fresh, the variety is huge and the fact that everything is grab-and-go makes it quick and easy. The hardest things are deciding what to eat and getting a table (at peak times).
Looking for a quick sushi fix? Great place to grab ready-to-go sushi, bento boxes, noodles and ready-made meals at reasonable prices. For grab-and-go, the food is really fresh with a large variety of boxes to choose from. One of my favorite go-to spots in the city for quick lunches during the afternoon or easy meals after work. Always friendly staff, attentive and fast customer service. No frills, but love the convenience and highly recommend.
Good place to get a quick bite of sushi and other Japanese food. Not exactly authentic but a slight twist of western food and Japanese fusion. There are good amount of rice bowl options and noodles. It was very good. For Sushi, I wouldnt recommend eating it if you go there at night. I believe sushi is made in the morning and by the end of the day, fish color isnt fresh anymore. I did nit like the smell of it either. So unless you go there early, eat only hot food.
Really disappointed about their food quality. Ordered salmon teriyaki over rice, which was way overcooked, dry, tasted like paper with sauce. The salmon onigiri also had no taste and tasted not fresh.We visited this place before pandemic and we enjoyed their food much more back then, so were not sure if today was just a bad day.
Fresh, tasty, and affordable sushi. Great variety packs with different rolls.
Just what I needed on this rainy November day! Everything was delicious. Warm food was warm and sushi was in the refrigerated case.Will definitely come back again. The only drawback was that their bathrooms were out of service.
Please make sure that they have dressing for salad before you purchase a salad. The options I was given were soy sauce, wasabi, and the pickled ginger... Seriously? I liked the curry but my husband didnt like it. Katsu is so so (you get what you paid for. If you have time, just walk a few blocks. Zaiya and Sunrise Market are way better.
I thought this was an actual sushi restaurant as we were looking for sushi one night. Anyhow, this is more of a grab-and-go where you can also sit and eat on their tables. They have a warmed food section where theres bibimbap and cold food section including sushi and poke as well as cold beverages. The hot beverages including tea were purchased and made by the staff behind the cashier. I enjoyed my poke but the bibimbap didnt have the Korean flavors but wasnt bad. Would go back!
Worst gyozas I have ever tried. We didnt plan to came here but a rainy storm started.The salad of the dressing was horrible.I dindt try the fish, but was clearly not fresh and smashed. A photo of my friends sushi is available.Excesive use of plastics and paper in the packaging. Crazy!I will never recommend this plaze. At least, the personal was kind and gentle.
This place was okay, as to be expected. Grab and go. I went with my daughters. My biggest complaint was the price, it was pricey 65$ for 3 people. I wouldnt care if the food was OUT of this world! But it wasnt, not at all.
I visit every time I go to NYC. Lots of options, super fast, and great quality of food. I love that there are options besides sushi, and the soups are particularly great!
If you’re looking for a quick sushi bite, this place is a great way to try various sushi types at affordable prices. Each piece is around $1-2 and they also have combo boxes. Alternatively if sushi is not your thing, you can get ramen, hot entrees, or salads. Condiments will be provided upon checkout
Fantastic place to sit and eat some great sushi if you need a break, or just pop in and out if youre on the go.
Maybe its no a traditional sushi restaurant but I like their concept because the sushi and others Japanese food is ready to eat (dont waste time), you just can grab the boxes with different options or you can pick individuals sushi and complete your order. Even been in boxes or wrapped the food is fresh and the price could be chipper than a regular Japanese restaurant. My Tuna sushi box had 12 pieces and I paid 9$.

I used to have quite often Wasabi noodles or sushi in London. How much I missed it!The food is fresh, healthy and they serve pretty good portions.The staff is usually nice and helpful. I´ll see you soon!
It was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. The sushi was better than what I was expecting and the miso soup was actually on spot.
I love that iWasabi Sushi n Bento are not only in UK anymore.
Great express sushi, salmon salad. The hot dishes are great like hot salmon.
Great tasty affordable food, nice place to seat inside. 30 minutes to closing there is a 50% off on everything expect drinks.
Had the Salmon teriyaki Bento which I thought was delicious. Also tried Chicken & Vegetable Gyoza sald was not good cause it was cold and it was suppose to be hot. Then there was the sushi I had 6 different kinds: shrimp Sumi, seared tuna Nigiri, Salmon Hosomaki, Kani cucumber hosomaki, Avocado Hisomaki and Mochi Sesame wich was good with different sauces they provided.They atmosphere was pleasant nice seating and they keep the place clean but very cold inside not good in 40 degree weather. Have to be in the mood for this kind of food it is something different and unusual.
This place is exactly what I wanted. So yummy and nice having all the food visible with the ingredients listed! It is a little expensive, there is not enough seating, and the worst part is that you dont get water or anything unless you buy a water bottle (similar to European restaurants) or drink. Im so thirsty. ;) But the salmon teriyaki bento is yummy, and I wish I could try the teriyaki chicken and some rolls too!
Good quality, big chunks of fish. Good mixture of ingredients.Just picked up what I wanted and was checked out within a few minutes.
Great place. All Japanese pick up and eat cuisine.A must try. Very very reasonable for the food quality delivered. Great location.
Love this place. Went there twice while I was in NYC. Plan to visit again when I return this summer. Which they had theses in LA.
Great place to quickly grab ready-to-go sushi, poke or something else.
Great food and lots of good options. I enjoyed the salmon sushi box and onigiri especially, and the selection of Japanese drinks was decent! Will probably come here again when Im in the Times Square area.
Got my sushi fix on a business trip. Got the food to go. Taste ok, not as fresh as sushi from a restaurant by any means. The place is clean and bright. A few people do eat in. Didnt see anyone to check for vaccination status.
Decent prices and portion sizes. Good for a quick bite on the go, but be prepared that place is usually crowded and busy, you might dont find a place to seat.
Great food. A little pricey, but its near Times Square so their rent must be astronomical. But its a little off putting for every condiment to be an upcharge, so I go there not as much as I would like. Good soups, sushi and dumplings.
What a 💩🕳️.Server overloaded my food on a flimsy paper tray which folded in two and my food went flying. Then I noticed they do have rigid plastic trays, but I guess they were to lazy to clean used ones.
Lost in nyc I ended up here and I am so glad I did. A great variety of sushi, poke bowls, salads, desserts and more!!! Love this place, if I am ever stuck in nyc again I will make sure to find my way back. Keep up the freshness you guys are awesome
Quick service. Very clean. Affordable. Delicious onigiri!
The food is fresh and prepared neatly, daily. Although, while the sushi is tasty, the rest of the foods can be a little lacking. The Katsu was not my favourite, personally, it tasted like the oil hadnt been changed in some time.Everything else was top notch. Workers are friendly, the areas are very clean and well kept, and its filling.
Excellent choice if you are on the go and looking for something light and not too heavy.
The attention of its staff is good and if you like oriental food this has quality
Good quality, wasnt really expecting it as it seems like a fast food joint, but surprisingly the foods fresh, so healthy choice there. Its kinda noisy, so dont expect a nice intimate thing (specially being close to Times Square), thats the reason why I dont rate it higher. Good customer service.
Restroom is “broken”. This is an epidemic in NYC. Get your “broken” restroom fixed and open to customers. Ridiculous.
The udon noodles were stuck to the bowl and had even pieces of the bowl stuck on the noodles.
Quick, delicious, fresh, reasonably priced, and a bright and clean interior. There is a multitude of recently prepared options to choose from which make the perfect spot for a quick meal.
Convenient location, and reasonable prices for quick sushi or bento box.
Great view while you eat fresh sushi.
Easy to spot this location from outside the street.
Food is okay. I rated 4 stars because the process of getting food and paying for it takes a lot of time. Because it’s near Times Square, a lot of people going inside to eat. They make sure the outsiders can’t make a stop for toilet for free so you can use the toilet when you buy food, and they have the code for getting inside the toilet on the receipt.
Great place , for a stop and go !! I mean what more can you ask for ! Clean place and great food
The food there is very nice! The place is clean and the smell and food are just wonderful! Its all in a good price for good food!
Is a good place for eat japanese food and cheap! I recomend the salmon with rice.
We had 2 boxes od sushi 2 triangle sushi a bento box and chicken on the side sushi was amazing! Bento box did not taste fresh at all or the chicken gave me a horrible stomach ache but the sushi was good. That will be the only thing I have from there
The first Wasabi Branch from their U.K. Counterpart. Good place to stop by for a quick bite or enjoy a meal while people watching.
Great choices and friendly staff. Delicious salad. Quick service. Convenient and not expensive for serving recieved.
Price&quality&sushi quantity ratio is very high i can say. ~16-18 sushi pieces was 15 $ as fqr as i remember. Also you can eat inside.
Wouldnt let me go to the restroom😭, but the food was great🤙🏻
So far so good. I’d like to try more times.
I love the onigiri, rice balls with stuffing.
Quick meal but healthy meal.Fresh sushi, roll and noodles soup in Japanese style.Great value for money.
Simple, tasteful, fast clean food. This is how food should be!
I used to have a better experience in the past. I got some take out last Monday and the fish did not feel that fresh, also got a kani salad and this one had a fridge kind of taste. I ended up not finishing my 19.10 USS meal, the service from their staff, whatsoever is always great.
At the time of my visit the air conditioner in the business had gone out. It was very hot and made me question the safety and quality of my sushi. The sushi was fine, a little fishy for my liking, but the poke bowl was great. I felt later that i should have gotten two of those. I dont live next to a Wasabi, but if i did, Id definitely give it another try.
Clean and fresh
Pretty decent quick place. They have a bunch of pre-made food which you just pick up. I got the curry chicken and rice which had decent flavor, but needed more, and was a bit dry. Price (~$9) was not terrible for what I got size wise. If it was a touch tastier, would definitely be a good deal for the area. Will be back to try more dishes, for sure!
Terrible service! Unbelievably senseless service at the counter. I can 100% guarantee the owner has nothing to do with sushi or Japanese food. Everytime I pick up a box of sushi, later I found out they didnt include wasabi. How could I not get wasabi when I buy a box of sushi? How could a store have a name of Wasabi and not offer wasabi when customer buys a sushi? this is perfect example when non-Japanese people run Japanese restaurant. Ends up ruining the reputation of Japanese sushi culture. This time, I asked for a wasabi at the counter then I came home and found out there was no soy sauce. Worst non-Japanese owner running restaurant. Other food are junk. I bet some Japanese people will be pretty mad if they found this store is making how people view Japanese Sushi store.
Great lunch spot for sushi or hot Japanese food. Good portions to fill you up. Sushi and hot food are made fresh daily. They also have a wide selection of foods including breakfast sandwiches, different sushi combinations, mid day snacks, hot entrees, and made to order sushi salad bowls. The poke bowls are really good when you add the spicy mayo.
Mediocre quality fish. Ok bwnto.On the plus side: fresh food and fast.
I used to love this place my favorite was curry and chicken however I was disappointed... I never seen the chicken size like a paperIt was very thin and small…
Some food choices are super tasty and the place has veggie sushi and cooked fish sushi and veggie dumplings. Also the place is really close to the Port Authority, which makes it very practical for travels. It is never overcrowded, which is excellent. However, this time I go with 4 stars, because there are still dishes which seems not to be thought thoroughly in the menu. I dont get the taste of teriyaki noodles and the chicken in teriyaki sauce is a bit too dry. Also a small request for the team leaders on waste separation (please make the organic waste bin) and recyclables. Also there is a room for improvements on tables cleanness.
I cant give it one star because lets be fair, at least they have prepackaged food available and thats edible, but they dont store their vegetables/fish well. Ive had to give back two poke bowls because the fish was tough and didnt smell fresh. I saw them making more tofu rice bowls as I was waiting to get one in exchange for the bowl i returned, but the croquette tasted badly reheated/stale, and the vegetables tasted like they had touched old fish/werent fresh either. I would go back for their bottled drinks or japanese snacks they havent personally handled, but the food they prepare themselves is not good. And this is based on visits to two locations. Sometimes their sushi is okay but after this, I dont think I want to try it anymore. Anywhere else prices their food about the same, but at least it tastes like its not poorly refrigerated.
Stays open late. Good selection. Once had food poisoning on one of their meals. Spoke to a cashier a few days later. She did not need to see my receipt and quickly offered her apologies and the option of another replacement meal or a refund on my card. The food incident never happened again.
Good sushi for the price!! Perfect place for a quick bite.
Easy place to go if you want quick sushi. All packed fresh and ready to mix and match. They do have hot food. in the summer they have green tea soft serve ice cream. Never really a wait to check out. Limited seating but never all filled at one time. Great for take out or quick bite. Reasonably priced
Salmon was wilted, chewy and had the consistency of fruit. So disappointed by the new Penn Station location.
Come on. They forgot what their store name was. This sushi store, Wasabi never put wasabi in my bag everytime I buy sushi. How can I eat sushi without wasabi? Please automatically throw soy sauce and wasabi even if customers dont ask for them. It is like serving a taco without hot sauce or green sauce, serving steak without salt and pepper, serving pizza without cheese and oregano. Are they trying to save money off not offering them the most essential to sushi? Instead they are about to ruin someones sushi experience.
Very good food and friendly service but terrible ambiance.The music was so loud we had to shout to talk to one another.We had the chicken teriyaki bowl which was pretty good but chicken was a bit tough. Seasoning was good.If they would turn down music volume this would be a 4 star visit.
Every dish I tried was Yummm....starting for spicy chicken rice cake...shrimp and Spicy Chicken Grilled Bento....❤❤...Loved It
Bright, fun place to stop by and grab sushi. I like sitting near the windows to people watch. The prices are decent for a box of various styles of sushi. I wouldn’t say it’s authentic but it’s American style of sushi (avocado rolls, California rolls, nigiri, etc). Staff is friendly and helpful.
Good clean food. Vegetarian options available! Easy to pick up. Food is already ready. Could be more seating but its pretty steady flow of people moving in and out. Heating provided on cold day. Good environment.
The food and quality here is 3 stars, but the price of the food earns it 4 stars in NYC.The place has what you like for fast Japanese and Pho. The staff was happy to help and customize your order when it required it. I noticed that they kept a constant rotation of fresh food on the shelf without over stocking it where it would spoil out of date (by listing the hour it was made).I liked it here because we could get something for around $10-$15 per person in NYC where things run almost $20 per person to eat.
The sushi here is terrible. The fish pieces are tiny to way too much rice. Their onigiri is also bad. They dont have bento boxes, only rice bowls, which are also not good. My curry tofu tasted sour. Everything is also really over priced. You can go to any grocery store or deli for a better and cheaper meal. The staff is really nice though
I went there on a Friday night.The place was very well organized. The sushi was well organized, as well as the bento boxes and yakisoba, and other Japanese dishes.I think the prices were fair, not too expensive and not too inexpensive.I got a salmon box, with a couple of salmon nigiri, a smoked salmon one, and a small spicy salmon roll.I sat in and I had to ask the security guard where the soy sauce was.The sushi was pretty decent for the price, but I will definitely prefer an establishment that gives me made-to-order sushi, it is fresher and tastier.The wasabi was not that tasty either, but it was okay.
Found this place on a whim, very clean and relaxed atmosphere. They were welcoming to all, What struck me the most was the female cashier who rung me up, she was so warm and kind. As a socially awkard person of color struggling with Aspergers, I have never recieved hospitality as good as this. The food was fresh, a little too expensive for my taste, and the chicken bento lacked flavor. However, the sushi looked delicious.
A very busy location so the food turnover is fast and the food is fresh. I go to the one near one world trade and this one I would say has equally fresh food.My one complaint is the attitude I got when I asked for the bathroom code. I wanted to use the bathroom before I bought my meal since I did not want to bring my meal in the bathroom or leave it on a table. I know the the bathroom is for customers only but you do not have to act like I am trying to stab a kitten when I ask and explain the reasoning.
Honestly, I find it a little precarious when a Sushi place doesnt have working air condition and two of their fridges (which store their sushi) are not working. It makes me question the quality of what they are doing. I ended up getting a grilled chicken udon box and the chicken was extremely dry and their noodles were not sauced enough. Overall not a great experience.
Wasabi is a counter order place, but much more spacious than your average counter order place. Theres a decent amount of seating, plus a fairly large selection of prepared-in-store food and prepackaged snacks/drinks. The prices are very fair for near-Times Square, and the food is actually above average. I go often for a light meal before a movie nearby.
I am a visitor from Canada and have been to Wasabi few times and the foods is pretty good and the prices are very reasonable! 🤗I will recommend people who is looking for quick lunch or dinner and especially, for the travellers not sure where to have Asian food with reasonable prices! Btw, the chicken Katsu is pretty good but I found that the California rolls was very dry and hard, I m not sure whether I brought this at night time and have kept this roll for sometimes in the fridge!
This is one of my favorite places to go for lunch in Midtown when I am working in the city. The food is already made but it is fresh. Though there is a lot of traffic the design and layout of this business really lend itself to rush hours. You can choose from an assortment of different sushi, or prepared warm lunches all Japanese. At the counter you will even find Japanese candies and desserts.
Im not sure how I feel about this place. Today was my first time and I got the rainbow set ($13+). One of the rolls was super weird and I hope to never have to eat it again, but everything else was pretty good.The wasabi paste was not the typical wasabi that youd get at a sushi restaurant and wasnt that great, so that was a downside.The sushi was fresh enough and Im glad I tried it, but I ont know if Ill be back anytime soon. Its a good quick sushi option if youre on the go.Side note, the girl who helped ring me up was super friendly and helpful, so kudos to her.
Good for a quick bite before the shows. Nothing fancy, but quick and beats most of the pizza joints around the area.The sushi salads were filling enough for both of us.
As a frequent commuter and lover of Japanese food, I was excited to see this new opening. I tried the beef curry - the curry sauce wasnt bad, similar to what you would get in the pre packaged heat-n-go Japanese stuff.The problem was that it was cold, and the portion was deceptively small - you get a big bowl, but there is barely any curry sauce and I finished the bowl within 6 or 7 bites. Granted, I visited the place late at night (after 11PM) so this probably affected the heat.The store was bright and clean (as clean as you can get for Penn Station) so if they increase the portion and get the temperature right I would absolutely come back again.
The food is not fresh, tastes like it was sitting out all day and wasnt hot. Portions are small. Avoid
A poor copy of the UK model, which is better priced and of better quality
Staff very polite, respectful and professional. They ask if you need fork or chop sticks and any sauces like wasabi, soy sauce, or ginger. Seating and overall area is clean. Food is delicious never had a problem.
I really liked the concept of how food is served, it was quick to pick up food and easy to pay. At busy times seating is hard to find but I wasnt planning on eating there anyways; I wouldnt call the food especially high quality like some may say but it is worth it for a quick food stop.
As far as fast food goes - its fresh, all kinds of rolls, sushi, bento boxes. To go packages or you can grab a seat and relax a bit, place is very clean, service is fast, prices are reasonable, not enough tables during the day, but gets better night time. Check out drinks as well - some interesting and healthy mixes.
Reasonably priced for the area and lots of great options (soup salad sushi katsu bowls etc). Great for grab and go but there are seats available. Food turns over pretty quickly, everything tastes very fresh!
One of the best deals in the city (NYC). Realty good food and you can get in and get out and be on your way. They have a very good selection of sushi, sashimi, various bowls and a lot more. If you like Asian food, be sure not to miss Wasabi when visiting New York City. We have gone multiple times every time we visit the Big Apple.
Great place for a quick bite if youre craving sushi/bento. Tastes average, but pricey. Seating can be difficult during peak hours. Restroom is for customers only, a code is generated on your receipt.
Great place for quick easy sushi, a bit expensive but its midtown. Variety and personality of your roll choice is pretty wide. If youve only got a half hour break and need some quick sushi, this is the place, it will be worth it.
The sushi was ok(ish). The bathroom had no toilet paper and a broken flush handle. They don’t recycle.But they’re open till late, if you want sushi at night.Just another tourist trap
Food was good. Place was crazy packed and seating was limited. The options were wide span, all fresh, hot stuff hot and sushi cold. Impressed with set up! 4 stars, BC of seating arrangements. Need to incorporate some standing bar type tables or wall shelfs.
The most polite staff. However, its Winter and whenever the door opens the breeze comes in and even though its supposedly 48° F annoying when you are sitting at a table eating their delicious warm food and a cold blast of cold air comes. Although its December, hearing Christmas music in a Japanese restaurant is kind of weird.
Walked here with a co worker and always heard about it so wanted to check it out. not bad seems like a fast food sushi spot and prices were not as bad. you can get 2 rolls for 2 bucks i believe. cucumber was like 2 for 1.50 kind of deal not bad. place looked really clean nice. Coming here during lunch time in times square there would be a busy wait time. try to avoid after! i will update when i grab grub myself but i like this spot!
I really like wasabi sushi& bento even though I know its not high quality. Id avoid spicyrolls the same way its good to skip them at any budget sushi place. Thats what they do with the scrap from better fish. Its also slightly expensive for what it is. Still its so quiet and self sufficient that I really enjoy going sitting down and having lunch, no muss no fuss.
Nice and cheap sushi and bowls
Simply easy to pick up on the way home. Good, convenient Sushi and Sashimi.A phenomenal discovery about Wasabi is Roman; hes a cashier there, but he has a generous energy akin to Tony Robbins. Good food is always better when its offered by wonderful people.
I love their sushi, and their drinks, its like it fills you up after eating it but you don’t notice. I might go get some soon. So if you see me, you’re welcome for the review! :)
I love this place before, i always get my quick fix meal here but this past month has been awful. Hot meals are not even served hot anymore. It looks like it sits for like 2 or more hours. Yes their food still has a great taste but In my opinion, food is not as fresh as it was before. 😞
The food was okay. I really like the prices! Very cheap and affordable.
Fresh, healthy Japanese food. Great stop for quick service. Delicious variety. Awesome prices for NYC location. Friendly cashiers. Clean bathroom.
First off, the food tastes great. The flavor is there but my problem is that the helpings are in small portions for 1 person. I had the teriyaki udon and I understand that udon noodles are alot thicker so most of the time the amount of noodles used are skimmed compared to a regular order of noodles but i literally had 13 strands of udon noodles in my take out bento. I counted them because looking into my bento box it almost seemed like there wasnt anything in there to begin with. I also ordered the spicy california roll but it wasnt spicy at all. It all still tasted great but this has been a huge let down as this my first impression of this facility.
This Japanese restaurant offers favorites in a self-serve manner. The offerings are plenty, ranging from sushi to bento bowls and noodle dishes. During my visit I enjoyed two pieces of spicy tuna and two Kani pieces. The food displays are quite inviting and everything looks fresh.What I did not enjoy was the chicken katsu. It was quite dry and tough and the overly sweet dipping sauce didnt help.The ambiance is clean and the staff are always quite busy. I would have liked some ginger and soy with my rolls but it was nowhere to be seen and it wasnt offered as I checked out and left. I imagined it would have been in my carryout bag, but it wasnt.
Great place, It is fast food it was fresh.
Loved this place. Once I arrived in New York, I was desperately searching for an all you can eat sushi since I love it... I ended up here and I couldn’t be happier! They sell fresh boxes of sushi that they make in the morning, you can pay your meal and remain there to eat it. It was delicious, I came back 3 times in 5 days!
At 945pm tonite I ordered a shrimp undon noodle soup& paid $10.79. I was feeling cold & needed a hot soup. After 5 minutes I was told no shrimp available. So I said just give me any type of seafood. No seafood- no beef neither😭 instead gave fried chicken. In my opinion, fried chicken does not go well with soup. Didnt taste good at all. I said I paid for shrimp, they didnt offer any compensation, i had to ask for a cup of hot tea?!!. Needless to say I was very disappointed. Never go there again in late nites? Or ever??
Pretty cool concept... its like a NYC deli/lunch place, but for Japanese products. Sushi and all items are individually wrapped and priced. Hand rolls, onigiri, bowls, etc... They have soft serve green tea ice cream
I just went to this place because I was craving sushi. The inside was neat, clean, and so spacious. Its probably the best looking sushi place I have ever been to and the staff was so friendly. I got a bento box but I did appreciate the option of also just buying a set of 2 sushi rolls neatly packed in plastic. I also tried the tuna onigiri and chicken, I dont know much about onigiris, but these tasted like heaven to me.
Imagine you’re 6 years old and u walk into Dylan’s candy bar.That’s how sushi lovers feel when they enter wasabiGrab one of those paper bowls and start grabbing the individually packed delicious sushis if your choice ( regarding the fact they’ve probably been sitting in the display shelves for hours ) . Huge selection to choose and bathroom is very clean.Be prepared to bring a fat stack cuz this place is $$$ so control yourself when loading up your bowl.
This place is always tempting (great display and packaging) but disappointing (3 trips thus far). If you need a quick bite and are ok with moderately priced mediocre Japanese food in times square, this is your spot.
I eat in this spot a lot since I work close by. I must say their customer service is always fantastic and they keep the spot well kept consistently. Prices are reasonable and they serve sizeable portions.
I went here on a Sunday evening at 9pm. The ready to go sushi box was stale. The edamame dry and not juicy at all. Not sure the food was bad because I got left overs or this is just poor standard they maintain.
First things first: Every sushi wrapped in a single-use plastic foil is the definite death of every gourmet, painful to see and a big mess for the environment! None of the fish sold in the restaurant had a certification of sustainability. I guess the companys aim is delivering pseudo-Japaneese food to people not willing to pay much - on the cost of the environment. The only plus: Staff is friendly, and you habe your food in 2mins.
A great little spot for sushi when youre not willing to commit to a whole roll and the price of a la carte isnt appealing. You can get individually wrapped pieces of sushi and the like here - the prices arent too bad either so feel free to fill up your tray! They also offer bento boxes which looked delicious and hearty, but I didnt get a chance to try them.The only downside to all the individually wrapped sushi/onigiri is all the plastic you have left over when you actually eat it.
Food its completely disappointed!!! Next time Ill take a hot dog over buying anything here. My sushi didnt even come with ginger.
Rice wasnt soft enough for sushi and I dont think they mixed it right, while the chicken katsu was dry. But it is a convenience food, where sets are ready for grab-and-go (after you pay of course), so if youre looking for something quick and easy, just pop in, grab and go. The noodles were a little better (and freshly made, so you have to wait a few minutes for it).
Got a rice ball and a soup. Rice ball was great but the soup tasted artificial to the point where I couldnt eat it.
Definitely my go-to for a pickup hearty lunch or dinner. My favorite is the salmon teriyaki bowl which is pre-made and always warm and delicious. The portion sizes are also pretty big. There isnt much seating for how busy it gets at lunchtime but they bag and box the food items really well to-go.They have a pretty big variety of items as well ranging from sushi to bento boxes to soups.
This Restaurant is located near by Time Square. We are not that much hungry so we decided to takeaway the Sushi. Salmon is My favourite in Sushi. Taste is fresh and delicious. Check out the photos.
Cute concept how they individual wrap every kind of sushi and you literally build your own bento box. However it can get costly if not planned properly and you can easily spend a fortune here cause you may end up forgetting the price and you pile the different pairings of sushi packets.
Food was good,but not okay for dinner. Fast and convenient. The sushi was cold but good. The bathroom has a code that you have to know to unlock the bathroom.
Their poke bowls are a lot better than other poke places. Even when they are pre-prepared, the salmon stays firmer and has better texture because they are cut larger. Definitely my favorite place to get poke bowls.
Good, fresh food which is a bit expensive (probably due to the high rent they must pay) but delicious. Had the assorted Gyoza and two California rolls. Will be going there again this week for a Bento box or some sushi. Delightful lil place to eat.
Decent sushi selection all hygienically and individually wrapped. Bento boxes, miso soup, daifuku, and other items are available as well. Great for a quick and filling little snack or meal close to Times Square, which doesnt offer many ethnic food choices.
Good carryout or eat-in Sushi place. Counter service and lots of premade sushi and rolls to choose from. Good selection. Better than supermarket sushi. Convenient, fast. Bright modern shop. Multiple locations. Also in Europe.
Well above average for to-go sushi spots in manhattan. The place is bright and very clean. The options are endless, including sushi, sashimi, rolls, poke bowls, salads, etc. They serve great hot food including soups and typical japanese entrees as well. Prices are average.
Good price, good portions, and great taste.
I just ate around 7pm on 8/3/17 (Thurs), called chirashi, I am not sure I remember the name correctly , it was $10.34 totalso you know which dish I am talking about (Chopped raw salmon, sweet eggs and avocado over white rice)I have a stomachache now, I think the raw chopped salmon wasnt fresh enough or something...it is very hot these days, do you preserve sushi in perfect temperature?I am really worried that I might have food poisoning.
They have a great selection of sushi and bento for a good price. The sushi is all freshly made so you dont have to worry about the rice being too dry.
Bright, clean, and spacious place in the heart of Times Square with all kinds of pre-packaged Japanese meals. Food is delightfully tasty; prices are somewhat mid-range. Staff are friendly and helpful. Restrooms are spotless.
Fresh and delicious food, affordable prices, recommend!
This place is kinda pricey in my opinion, I mean $3 for two pieces of sushi??? Nonetheless this will always be my go to when Im craving sushi because I work so close by. I definitely recommend the chicken onigiri because it doesnt cost that much but is absolutely delisious. Also the chicken teriyaki bento box is a must have if youre really hungry and want to be filled up.
Reasonable cost ready made sushi. Lots of seating or have it to go. Decent varieties and they have hot Japanese dishes to buy as well.
Went to the new one in penn station= I do not like that a lot of the sushi is served ala carte- each piece separate. was too confusing and the prepacked were kind of pricey for me for lunch.I decided on the salmon poke bowl and I enjoyed it- healthier choice
Although pre-pared/packaged the sushi is always fresh. There are a lot of choices and sizes to pick from from standard sashimi and rolls to made to order ramen and noodles. If youre on the go or eating in house this a great place to get some quality quick sushi!
Love love love this shop but these onigiri things need to be more intuitive to unwrap!!
Thats the best restaurant in new York city the food was out of this world and the employees really good and helpful I dont understand why they dont have wasabi sushi & bento in Florida we something like that here a good sushi restaurant and the ramen soup omg so good next year I have plans all ready to go back to new York and our first stop its going to be there. All your employees are really the best. See you next year .
Place is ok, and prices are not bad, but the sushi was below average. Had sushi at a publix a few days ago an it was better than this.Rice was not very tasty an a tad dry. Not terrible but not good either.
The food is fresh and delicious. If youre looking for that mid day pick-me up or the quick but delicious evening meal, Id definitely recommend grabbing a Chicken Teriyaki bento or their Roasted Salmon Onigiri. No matter what you pick, you cant go wrong. Id avoid going between 12:00 and 12:45 PM EST though, if possible.
I have been to the locations in the UK! This is the best sushi for the price anywhere in the world. So glad it is now here in America. Let’s hope they expand across all of America.
Not authentic, more like a fusion thing with clean setting. Worst Ramen Ive ever seen, you have to dig it out from under a salad worth of spinach. Sushi is ok. Come with cash to spare.
Quick and inexpensive. You can get almost all kinds of Japanese fast food here. Good for to-go or stay. The food taste is an ok.
Good chicken katsu curry. A bit pricey though.
Contemporary, clean and cost effective with great food options from individually wrapped sushi to warm noodle soups. Everything tastes fresh and Wasabi offers an array of sushi and sashimi varieties. Definitely not your supermarket boxed sushi place. Think of it like top tier on-the-go sushi. This restaurant is wildly popular in the UK and this is Wasabis only location (so far) in the US!
Sushi fresh and tasty! Very affordable!
Excellent Sushi, Sashimi and Hot Japanese foods plus snacks at excellent prices.Taking a cue from that other British export, Pret a Manger, Wasabi has come across the pond with a great concept. Modern dining room with counters of well wrapped sushi singles, bento boxes with nigiri, rolls, seawees salad, baby lettuces and more, onigiri and at the hot counter, katsu, Japanese Curry and more. Oh yes, lots of different flavors of Pockys to buy along with some excellent Japenese savory rice cracker snacks. Prices are very fair for what you get, staff is helpful, and its far superior to the sushi you get at your local supermarket. There are a few Wasabi locations in the city now... I hope there will be more. This is an excellent addition to a quick sit-down lunch or take out for Al desko.
Close to subway station +1Bright and clean interior +1Friendly staffs +1I got curry chicken katsu w/ rice. Curry was good. Chicken katsu was alright. Rice was hard, dry and not warm enough.
Fresh packaged food, kinda pricey, but very delicious food. staff are nice!
Save ur money, shell out 10 bucks more and eat at an actual sushi restaurant... its like McDonalds of Sushi
The place is clean, neatly organized, and spacious. There are a dozen seats around one corner of the shop. They sell recently wrapped sushi and onigiri by piece, and the price is fair. Portion for bento box and ramen are pretty generous for the price. Sushi and onigiri taste ok. Bento box tasted decent. Dont bother with the ramen (its like drinking oil).Food: 3/5Service: 4/5Decor: 4/5
Love this place for quick sushi and Bento to go. Always fresh and a friendly staff. Its my go to when I have a sushi urge but dont feel like going out.
This is a decent lunch spot for quick Japanese grabs. Sushi is as expected from a fast casual option. Dont expect to be wowed by their offerings, but food is decent nonetheless.
Great quality and delicious food! I go here every time, when I visit Manhattan from Connecticut.
Quick stop for refueling after Times Square browsing for Bento and Sushi. Seating is nice and cosy. Price is non intimidating. Staff is friendly. Fair to medium selection for sashimi and sushi. Chirashi set is interesting. Katsu sets a bit overdone but still flavouring. Stop in for the choice in a hurry for 4 to many groups. Try the coffee with coffee jelly!!!!!
Reasonable prices, happy hour available!
I recently went to Wasabi for some sushi. I like how you can choose individually wrapped sushi so that you can try different things. I wish they had the dragon roll because that is my favorite. They also have bento boxes, which are nicely kept warm and comes in vegetarian, chicken, salmon and others. They also sell Pocky in green tea flavors for under $2. I really liked their cold boxed meal with sushi in it - it was under $5!
Quick counter service sushi with seating. Great quick stop if you are craving sushi. Amazingly low prices for good quality food. Hot plates are also available and highly recommended.
The food is tasty and quite good. Its a big deal going there 30 minutes before closing. All fresh products have 50% discount.
Really cool lunch experience for all things sushi. Do prepacked boxes of assorted pieces or pick out what you want and build your own. Also has Pocky!
I love the options to self serve or order to stay or take out. Portions are also optoonal. The place is always buzzing with people and clean. Service is great too!! I love the hot teas!!.
The quality of fish is decent (better than the grocery store) and its not over priced. But the rice to fish ratio is way off, too much rice.
Fast-food sushi thats quick and good enough.The floor to ceiling windows will catch your eye as you walk by, and once seated, are perfect for people watching as you eat your meal. Oddly, a section of the deli cases from which you choose your bento box of pre-packed salads and sushi are in direct sunlight from the same windows. So you might want to fish around the darker corners of the deli case for cooler sushi. Unless you like your sushi warmed, that is.After you grab your box, line up to pay. You can also order noodle soup with vegetable and miso or choose from additional salads at checkout.Despite serving a constant stream of customers (which after awhile must equal the same joy as having a tube of wasabi squirted in your eye) the staff do their jolly best to keep the lines moving. Give em your money and a smile.
Daily frag fish, easy to order, delicious.
My go-to for a quick bite (now that I have celiac and my diet is heavily restricted). If you do have celiac, avoid anything with a sauce on it, but the rice balls are great, and they have extra Wasabi and ginger and spicy mayo behind the counter.
One of my favorite places in Times Square! Love the fresh grab and go. The place is very spacious and clean. Plus you cant beat the price. Would definitely recommend!
음식은 괜찮으나, 점원들은 좀 별로임.Food is good, but staffs are not kind. Above all, they look like not understanding what they do, make and serve.
Loved the overall aesthetic of the place! The sushi was fantastic, even though it was boxed! They also had really good bubble tea and pocki!
Ive been here more than five times in the past three months. good food for good prices. the only reasons im not giving it 5 stars is because theyre constantly running out of food options on the display and there arent a lot of non meat options
We had the Chicken Teriyaki with Udon noodles. The children was very dry. There was little or no sauce and the meal had no taste at all.
Noticed it for the first time after walking out of Midtown Comics yesterday with the boyfriend. Immediately I start looking at the sushi bento boxes and I was actually amazed at how much you get for the price. I ended up getting the rainbow set and a salmon onigiri (to go since the place was packed) and they were delicious! Its a little out of my way so I cant stop by often, but Ill definitely do so whenever Im in the area!
Somewhere a sushi chef is crying. If your into cold, hardened rice and fish thats been sitting in a display refrigerator slowly becoming rubbery... this place is for you. Apparently you can still pay inflated prices for something that tastes like cardboard if its being called sushi.
The chicken katsu yakiudon bento had been sitting long enough that the starches had gelled, and I had a heck of a time prying the udon apart. The breading on the chicken had gone soggy. Also, all the veg was in the bottom, not stirred into the udon. Definitely should have gotten a fork instead of chopsticks, was a trying experience eating an overpriced bento that should have been pulled and replaced rather than left out for sale.
These places have food hot and ready, and everything Ive tried so far has been great. Im a big fan of the chicken curry.
A variety of prepackaged yet fresh Japanese cuisine in a clean open air space with seating indoors and out.
Came back after a couple years and was extremely disappointed. The nigiri is way too small and looks haphazardly made. The salmon also looks dull, like its been sitting out since morning.
Was looking for low cost sushi and this wasnt it. it was moderately priced pre made sushi. and the pieces were tiny and not flavorful at all. better than gas station sushi
I went here for a quick meet up with a friend who lives in NYC for lunch. Although it is fast food it was definetly fresh and you can see them prepare everything. I recommend this place.
Fashionable fast Japanese food. Had gyu bento, it tastes great but a little too salty. Lady next to me had a salmon salad which looks really good.
Love how nice and clean it is. The food is always delicious and fresh and very fair prices. The employees have always been super sweet when I have been there.
Loved this place. Easy going location with fast efficient staff. Sushi was super fresh!!! Good prices and well worth a visit...

2021-11-11As good as any supermarket sushi you can get with more options. The place is bright and clean. I got myself mostly cooked food from here, have to attend a trade show, didnt want to get sick from raw food. On site seating available.

2021-10-23Random found this place on my way.. Nice and cute. With a variety of Japanese food. Fish is fresh, food is tasty. Especially I loved origini. Love this place. Hope to come back with friends. In my opinion just one thing I would change: they give you soy sauce, wasabi and ginger in packets. I prefer in small plastic cups, its more convenient for me.

2022-07-24Awesome little sushi shop. They gave freshly made sushi on display which you take and go or eat at store, some don’t like that idea but its still fresher than any of the round table sushi I’ve had! Really enjoy this place with their tasty sushi and their suoer friendly staff!

2022-06-26Bought five entries and was given only 3 small pack of soy sauce, NO WASABI, and three pieces of napkins…… even ginger is sold separately. Seriously???? Sushi is so so, too dry. Katsu is not crispy at all. Very disappointed.
