Wasabi

There is really nothing positive to say here. The sushi was gross and I’ve actually had better grocery store sushi. My husband got a hibachi plate and said the rice was hard, the vegetables were over cooked, the shrimp was chewy. There was only one other couple in the restaurant at 12:30, yet service was basically non-existent. There was a young girl flirting with a guy who came in, a male server, a lady sitting at the counter that looked like she might be the owner or the manager and whoever was making sushi, but no one seemed to care about the customers or even work itself. No one asked how our food was and no one checked on us. The only reason I give two stars is because the limited interaction with the staff was friendly enough. Service was a 1, food was a 0. No, I am forced to change this from two stars to one. Don’t waste your money. 🤢

We had a great experience at Wasabi - was much better than I expected. We just moved here from ATL and a friend told us about it. We took the kids, but set rather low expectations for a 'sushi place by the interstate' in a city the size of Opelika. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality, prices and staff/service!! We ordered a bunch of rolls and everyone REALLY enjoyed them! The fish was fresh, the sushi was prepared well, and the house spiced edamame was a new concept for us - A MUST!! We will definitely go back!

Wasabi Japanese Sushi & Thai Cuisine is now one of my new favorite stops! As a Commercial Truck Driver, it's an Excellent change from the typical trucker's menu one normally has to choose from. Conveniently located across the street from the Shell Truck Stop I-85 Exit 62, Ipelika, AL. They have a wide variety of fresh sushi and sashimi menu items that are expertly and perfectly prepared. The Shrimp Salad with Ginger Dressing is also great. If you enjoy a taste for Japanese style fresh sushi, this is the perfect place to dine.
