" What an incredible experience! I took my family to Wasabi Johnston the other night, and we loved it. The restaurant is stunning—the ambiance is trendy and welcoming. We ordered several dishes including the lobster roll and various sushi rolls. Each dish was fresh and bursting with flavor! The service was impeccable; our server made sure we had everything we needed and offered great suggestions. This will definitely become a regular spot for us! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm a regular at Wasabi, and each visit is better than the last! Their chef's choice platter is a must-try. Every piece of sushi is so expertly crafted and fresh, and the ambiance is always a delight. This time I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, and it did not disappoint—it had depth and rich flavor! I can’t recommend this place enough. Really a hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" The new Wasabi location is stunning! I love the decor—it's clean, vibrant, and inviting. I went for their sushi and a big bowl of seafood ramen. The flavors were delightful, fresh, and authentic! My friend raved about the rolls. The service was attentive, though we had to wait a bit for our food, which was understandable considering how busy they were. Overall, a lovely dining experience, I'd definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Wasabi for the first time last week. The food was good, but the service was somewhat slow. We sat at the bar, and the bartender was friendly yet overwhelmed. The sushi was nice and fresh, but I was underwhelmed by the ramen. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I may try somewhere else next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to this place a few times, and it never disappoints! The spicy kimchi ramen is my favorite, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something hearty and flavorful. The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a cozy dinner. We've tried multiple sushi rolls, and they've all been fantastic. If you're in Johnston, make sure to visit Wasabi! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had high expectations based on many recommendations, my experience at Wasabi was underwhelming. The sushi we ordered was decent but didn’t have the flavors I anticipated. Additionally, my ramen had way too much salt and not enough meat, which was disappointing. The service was friendly but slow, and the atmosphere felt hurried due to the busy crowd. Perhaps I’ll try this place again, but my first visit didn’t leave a lasting impression. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for the first time last week and loved it! The ambiance was perfect for a relaxed dinner, and the food was delicious. The spicy tuna roll was particularly good! While I did enjoy the sushi, the ramen seemed a bit off; it lacked the depth of flavor I expected. Overall, a really nice restaurant with excellent service. " (*Curated Review*)
