Not too bad! The Alaskan roll is just as expected and totally up to par. The actual Wasabi was sinus clearing and gave me a few moments to reflect on my choices after eating it (which I like), and the ginger was the natural colored non-pink variety that I like. They provide a massive bottle of cold yum yum sauce that want to douse all my food in and I am tempted to have double as a beverage. Self control. Will power saved the day and prevented me from doing so. The service was great with my server coming by to check in often and to top off my water and grabbing me some condiments as I needed. My fried rice came out after I devoured my Alaska Rolls and was piping hot and pretty well made. It wasn't greasy and it had that light crispiness to the rice that you get when you cook a fried rice properly. It wasn't my favorite fried rice of all time, but it wasn't bad. It seems a very side dish type of fried rice but a dang fine one at that. But to be fair you come to Wasabi express for the rolls and hibachi which is where this place shines. Fiev stars! You don't go to a restaurant specializing in burgers, order fish, then complain about the food. Next time, I'll get the hibachi and see this place really blow me away. The ambience is pretty chill. It was pretty busy, and guests were enjoying their conversations, company, and food. The music selection was pretty cool and caught my attention and bobbed my head a few times. They have tv's playing sports, a nice looking bar, and a sushi chef station where I assume you'd be welcome to watch the sushi chefs do their magic if you're curious and entertained by that kind of thing. Overall, a cool place to eat in Owensboro and I will be back! I'm happy this place is here adding to the culinary diversity of South Owensboro! Woohoo!
We dined for lunch on a Saturday at Wasabi Express. The dining room was quite full at 1:30. Our hostess was very pleasant and sweet, and seated us in a corner table by the front window. ( Note: this table would be good for anybody in a wheelchair, as it was spacious and open on 2 sides.) For a casual dining restaurant, the atmosphere felt quite upscale, with big crystal chandeliers and sparkling lights. There is a full bar in the back. Our server, a nice young gentleman, had a bit of trouble understanding our order. To his credit, it was only his second day on the job. We ordered the filet hibachi, the chicken hibachi and a roll from the extensive sushi menu. The portions are huge!! Definitely enough to take home for leftovers. The steak was tender and seasoned nicely. All in all, good food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Wasabi Express.
I was treated like a queen! Food was fast and fresh s. My special order tuna maki roll was perfect! The fried rice was delicious and had flavor (I usually have to douse it with soy and sriracha). We got the steak and chicken hibachi plate. Flavors were for real and perfection. I would request less onion and more other veggies next time as there were 2x onion to anything else. But, nice good hibachi!
This is my favorite sushi place that I have ever been to. The food is solid and the prices are unbeatable. Every time we come to Owensboro we plan our trip around coming to Wasabi. I spent the entire car ride going through their menu and deciding what all rolls I wanted. My fiancé was working so I came in by myself with the idea of ordering a ton of rolls and I would take half of them to-go to share with him. I ordered seven different rolls. I burst out laughing when the very sweet waitress showed up at the table with a literal boat full of sushi for what seemed to be just me. No shame, I worked through it, left very full, and brought a wonderful assortment of rolls back to my fiancé when he got off work. I love this place so much. I am so excited to come back and I cannot recommend it highly enough!
There food is always amazing and the portion size is always great I can make 2 meals out of it and the atmosphere is sheik!!:)
