rude staff

by haplosciences

The food was good. I left a tip but the waiter didn't see it (it was picked up by another waiter) so he run after me IN THE STREET , to ask me for the tip ! insisting that I add it to the credit card bill !! outrageous and extremely rude for that type of place and prices. I had to talk to the manager who said the tip was found but hardly apologized. Could be the material for a joke. I will never come back.‎

  • Pros: very good food
  • Cons: amazing rude waiters

Very tasty and affordable sush!

by Chad26

After reading the reviews on this site, some friends and I decided to check out this restaurant. We were not lead astray! The menu had a very wide variety, and the many waiter's that stopped by our table were able to make some very good suggestions. We ordered several sushi rolls (spicy yellowtail, spicy tuna, salmon, eel & avocado, and peanut & avocado), and all were well prepared and made with fresh ingredients. All were excellent and very reasonably priced. I believe the rolls ranged from $4-7. I've had sushi at many different restaurants, and I definitely recommend Wasabi Lobby.

  • Pros: Service, menu selection, fresh food, reasonably priced.
