The service was decent but the food was meh. I got katsu ramen and it was salty, lacked richness, and the katsu came out soggy. The katsu kinda tasted burnt too?

Great restaurant! Delicious, fresh, hot and quick and friendly service. Ordered the Tempura Udon - really HOT and yummy umami, and I love that they serve the tempura on the side (so it stays crunchy!!!). Also got the bento 🍱 with katsu chicken (and a side of curry, because yum!) with the shrimp and veggie tempura. Everything was great! Would definitely recommend.

Wasabi Japanese Noodle House disappointed me with their dried up Salmon Sushi, inadequate shrimp in the Shrimp Fried Rice, and an unexpected charge for a big table. Not the best experience overall.

Amazing tempura, 10/10 tempura just the best Ive ever had. Life changing tempura. Everything Ive had here is very delicious in general and the service is very kind. Get the Bento Box and get it with option 4. Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura, feel free to ask for double as well!

Bento Box tastes amazing. More than enough to get fed up! 🤌🏾☺️

We really like this spot. We normally get the bento boxes and they are quite big and plenty of options to add. The crew is very nice and actually the place inside is clean and well minimally decorated. Reasonable priced. Pics taken with Pixel 4 XL

There is a reasln why this place has been around over a decade while all neighbor restaurants came and went. Descent foods at affordable price! View is nice too. Servers are nice and work fast too. They dont validate parking though.

This is a good Japanese place to find a hearty meal. The Bento Box is my go to meal when I am craving for a balanced meal. Parking is best after 5 P.M.

If you wanna eat hot and spicy Ramen, check this out this Japanese noodle house on mid-Wilshire

Just dont even waste your time. The kitchen staff isnt competent and will serve you old, and disgusting food. There is only one person who knows what to do and they are too cheap to keep the restroom clean or provide clean menus.🙅🏿

Good selection of food, everything we had was very good. Super friendly service. Just the decor was not super.

Review №14

2023-06-15 20:57:33

The seafood ramen has no flavor, also looking nasty, it is supposed to be to go, but the noodles part is wet already, yes they gave two to go bowl, one for dry(noodles and seafood) and one for wet (the soup/broth), but the noodles in one bowl is wet already, it seems that they mistakenly placed my ramen into a bowl and realized that opps its to go, so they quickly separate them. I even saw hair in the noodles part, yak dirty. Also, that tall woman there seems angry, when asking questions about if I want soy and hot sauce, I answered yes, but she didnt place soy in my to go bag. Confusing, why in customer service job, if you are not good in customer service! If I can only give zero star or negative star, I would!

Very unhygienic place. their kitchen is infested with insects like cockroaches.found insect in my food, server casually said it happens sometimes like it is a very common occurrence at this place.Never going back there again..!!!

I used to really love this place but ever since the pandemic hit, its quality hasnt been the same. Its still decent, but to me, the teriyaki sauce and house salad dressing seemed watered down. Handrolls used to come with a free miso soup as well, but Im sure due to the pandemic and inflation, they stopped that. Idk, its definitely not the same.

Regular customer here! I’d always tipped before when coming here but on a certain day I didn’t have extra money so I didn’t leave a tip.I paid my meal and was about to leave when the older female server insisted a tip was mandatory (even when it’s not) and wouldn’t let me leave. She got all up in my personal space and I couldn’t even reason with her so I was forced to pay a tip to leave the restaurant :(

Enjoyed the food. Quality at a price that makes sense. Only issue Ive run into is that Ive ordered shrimp tempura a number of times now and each time the shrimps havent been de-veined. Will stop ordering shrimp from now on.

Good find. Cheap and good. Parking sucks around here so prepare to walk. Good flavor ramen. Nice portion and not too big. You can add CBD on your order for additional $10. I didnt but was just curious. Might stop by again after working out. Will try their other dishes too. They take CC. Trust.

2019-01-04 09:08:32

Nice food, at good prices. The clam shells in the mixed seafood noodle dish had broken during cooking, so it made the dish a bit hard to eat, but it was probably just a fluke. The staff were very nice and efficient, and the rainbow roll was amazing. Ill definitely try it again!

Had the tempura with teriyaki beef salad and basil soup with rice! I recommend it was delicious! I ordered from Uber Eats and it came well packaged. It was cooked to perfection. I will be ordering an even going there myself in person.

This is a cool spot! They have a few vegan options available and the staff was super friendly! The food was really good and prepared very quickly. Overall experience was just pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick bite out!

The food is fresh, delicious, and super tasty! I usually get the bento box, but the sushi is always fresh! (Very important when eating raw fish) Plus the lady who runs this place is really kind and helpful, not above helping out her staff and it shows because her employees seem to work hard for her. Everyone is super helpful, although, crazy busy.

Got to say this is the perfect stop if you are hungry and need a break. The environment is very nice. Plenty of space with a contemporary minimalist Asian style. Not super fancy. Nice, clean and welcoming. We were both quite hungry and thirsty. Cant go wrong with the Bendo Box. Add 2 or 3 additional items. The price is right! Great pit stop.

I use to work across the street from the restaurant years ago and my, my,my how their shrimp fried rice has changed! Although we ordered extra shrimp,green onions and egg,there was nothing extra added! We couldnt even see nor taste the chicken! It looked like they were running out and needed to restock! This was a waste of gas and time on a Saturday morning!

This place had some amazing ramen! Didnt know what to expect on a Friday morning at 11. The broth was so incredibly rich and the pick chashu was porky and delicious. Just ended up walking in looking for a place to eat. Need to figure out how to go again before I leave LA.

Today was a perfect day for ramen so I decided to check out this spot because Id passed it a dozen times. Had the seafood ramen and asked them to make it spicy. The portion size was good but the taste was pretty bland and the noodles were kind of soggy. I guess my hunt is still on for a good ramen spot in walking distance.

.I came here 1/23/15 for date night expecting to eat good sushi and have a good meal. To my surprise,halfway through eating my jalapeno popper, I felt a crunchy sharp thing in my mouth and there it was, A PUSH PIN cooked inside!!!!! I was in shock. not only did we wait 45min for our food but I got a dangerous surprise! (See photo) never again.

2017-05-19 06:13:07

Wonderful, quick and delicious bite! Staff super friendly and kind. I appreciate the wonderful customer service offered at Wasabi. I have had the pleasure to meet some of the staff there who are wonderful people like Ogi and Da [I am sorry if I butchered your names😢]. Always with a welcoming smile and hardworking as the rest of their crew. Its clean and fairly priced menu items. Ramen noodles, sushis, entrees, bento box meals, dessert, etc. No liquor, but you can opt for healthier drinks such as teas, coconut water or your regular soft drinks. Try their bake Alaska Roll - delicious!!! Worth the wait for that!😍😍😍

Very tasty avocado rolls and fry rice. asked to remove eggs from rice and add tofu, and they did. But tofu was overfried and for that we paid +$1 to bill. waiters often just ignore customers.

I’ve ordered from here several times (mostly the bento box) and the food is always delicious, consistent quality, and you can’t beat the price for everything you get (bento). It’s one of my go-to places for takeaway.

It was just OK. I ordered the Udon but I couldnt eat it until i got home because it was too damn hot! Literally burned my mouth. My friend had the salmon teriyaki dinner which was 75% salad 15% rice and 10% salmon. Weak!

Nice Japanese restaurant in Koreatown. I ordered a Bento box and its items were great. I went at noon, so it was quiet and they attended to me quickly. The staff is super friendly. I recommend it.

The sunset at the Griffith Observatory is really picturesque. I stood and stared blankly at the sky in LA.

I stopped by because I wanted to eat Japanese ramen. It was a little salty, but I still enjoyed it.
