OK went a Wednesday nite around 5pm, almost no one in the place. The service was great and the ingredients were fresh well prepared and presented. Overall this place did very well, however I am curious how they do if the place is packed. The only down side of the whole thing was the price is higher then I expect for the diner we had.
We may make it back again, however There are some other places we want to check out that may be cost effective. -

I don't frequent Wasabi too often but when I do, I really enjoy their signature dishes and various cold and hot dishes because they are always unique. And I love the Broadway location because they have a screened patio area. Though they could work on getting some new patio chairs as the current ones are very uncomfortable.
The hostess was cold and lacked personality - not surprising because their staff here can be very hit and miss. This unfortunately is common at all three Wasabi locations. We've had great servers and really snobby ones. Luckily our server for the night was friendly, likable and knowledgeable.
They've updated their menus recently and some of the special dishes are now on the regular menu.
Half dozen fresh oysters ($16) - excellent seasonal oysters, I forgot the name but they were super plump and yummy especially with the ginger and yuzu like sauce. Apparently, Tuesday is $1 oyster day...something to remember!
New style sashimi (assorted $18) - always a fave of mine. you get 9 thinly sliced fish that's seared with hot virgin olive oil, and topped with soy, ginger, sesame seeds, garlic and green onions. Yum.
Tuna nachos ($14) - another fave. Spicy sesame tuna with tobiko, avocado, sesame seeds and jalapeño on crispy nachos. I love the textures and the hint of heat from the jalapeño. I could eat a plate of these.
Soft shell crab salad ($18) - fried soft shell crab served on organic mixed greens with fresh mango, mandarin orange segments and avocado with a very well balanced ginger dressing. The crab was a bit smaller than I remember but it was a nice summery dish.
Toro nigiri ($3.50 per piece) - very sad look toro...yes it's pricey compared to other places and I can't say it tasted any better. Toro was rich and buttery as expected but unfortunately, the toro looked very mangled. It was as if some very untrained chef with a very dull knife sliced up the nigiri.
Icy spicy roll ($12) - one of their signature rolls where they slice a cucumber so thin and use it in lieu of the nori. A very refreshing roll filled with tuna with a little punch of heat from the sriracha.
East meets West roll ($24) - use to be a special but is now on the regular menu. The justification for the price is the lobster that's in it. There's wild salmon on top, and inside the roll there's avocado, mango and lobster. I found this roll to be quite bland surprisingly as nothing really stood out and the lobster was a bit overcooked. I would not order this again.
Wild Salmon Ceviche ($14) - they have a bunch of new ceviche items on the menu. This one sounded interest as included sliced red onions, scallions and tomatoes along with the salmon ceviche. The flavours were dull and I didn't like the tomatoes with this dish. I would skip this one.
Great martinis - lychee-tini and cucumber martini ($8 each).
A lovely way to spend a warm summery night on the patio eating sushi. It's a pricey place but for the most part, many of the dishes are unique so you won't get it at other sushi places. There are some misses and I hate that service is not consistent but was very happy that we had a great server recently.
