Great quality sushi that is homey and intimate.Sushi wasabi is a hole is a wall eatery in a small mall.There are only few seatings so reservation is a must.This place does omakase style (10 piece sushi, handroll, and sliced sashimi appetizer) for $80.We both got the omakase and my fiance got the miso soup on the side ($3).For drinks we got a bottle of cold and hot sake.The dishes placed out one at a time so it was a relaxing experience.The scallops and the blue handroll were my favorite! All the sashimi were buttery and decadent.My only complaint is that the course is a bit pricy for $80 considering the portion.Overall super pleased with the service, would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for omakase sushi.

This place is pretty good. This is located in a rundown strip mall with an autozone and 7eleven. We had a reservation at opening time (12 pm) on a Saturday. It was a little awkward since we were the only ones dining. From the opening time until we were finished with the omakase, not a single person came inside. This is definitely a hole in a wall place, but don't let that deceive you. The food was delicious. Overall, the food was great. The courses came a plate at a time, rather than your other omakase experience where you usually get one nigiri at a time. I loved the white fish course a lot but also their well known blue crab handroll. It was extremely smooth with a lot of crabby essence. I would usually like it with a more of a meaty bite instead of just a smooth paste texture, but nevertheless, it was extremely good. Service was great as well. The waitress came by quite often, but again.. .we were the only ones there lol The price can be a little steep. They only provide one option if you choose to dine in, which is the $80 omakase and you can choose to add on 3 more items for an additional cost. For an $80 omakase for 10 nigiris, a sashimi course, and a blue crab handroll without a dessert included is a little too much in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, everything was great, but not to the price point. I'm happy that there are quality sushi spots in the Tustin/Irvine area.

Been coming to sushi wasabi for almost 10 years nowIt's pretty rare to do a walk in, I think I came on a Saturday night and they turned me away but I was able to call the next day and get a reservation for that night They only do omakase which is about $70(?) and it's almost the same menu as when I was in high school so a bit predictable on what's coming out next lol. My all time favorite item is the blue crab hand roll! Seaweeds extra crispy, filled with tons of creamy crab, this is the only thing I'll reorder at the end if I feel like treating myself

We were lucky to get a Sunday Night Mother's Day special reservation. Usually they are closed on Sundays. The special was the Omakase with dessert included. First time here and we were blown away by the intimate setting and high quality service & food. Our Waitress Rie paid constant attention checking on ginger, water, drinks and food quality. Throughout dinner, most, if not all, needs were anticipated. We enjoyed the fish and combinations that were delicately prepared. Sake prices are reasonable. Please order the dessert. It is worth it.

Sushi Wasabi was such a pleasant surprise, this was my first time trying Omakase and I loved it and have gone back multiple times! Food: All the dishes were thoughtfully laid out and served! My favorites were the blue crab hand roll and final dish with an assortment of sushi! All the fish was fresh and flavorful! If you have a large appetite, I'd recommend adding on dishes of your favorites, everything is SO good. I personally added more blue crab hand rolls. Service:Service was great, all the staff and chefs are welcoming! I recommend calling for a reservation since the place is small! I've succeeded with walk ins during non-rush hours Parking: There's a parking lot in front that generally has spots open :)

We came across this place after walking by to pick up some breakfast burritos at Hole Mole and were intrigued of the small size from the outside. Sushi wasabi is a very lowkey sushi spot that serves phenomenal food. Menu includes a 10 piece omakase set with a few other chef specials to choose from and we had to try it all. All of it was excellent! The staff was kind and attentive, and there is one chef behind the bar preparing the sushi sets. Although I've had these pieces of fish plenty of times before, each piece that was served here brought on what I thought was a unique and well put together experience of sushi flavor. Lastly, the pace of which it was served was perfect. There looked to be about 20 seats divided between 5 tables so it is recommended to make a reservation.Of course sushi of this quality is on the pricier and is comparable to omakase spots around OC. So if you're willing to spend on good sushi try this place out.11/10 recommend. My wife and I are happy to have found this place and definitely will be back!

This place is SO DELICIOUS. I've been going here for years--since the previous owners owned it. When I eat here, I close my eyes after every bite to fully enjoy it--it is THAT GOOD. I decided to write a review because I noticed it wasn't on YELP's top 100 restaurants. It should be! Do yourself a favor, make a reservation and eat here!!

Loved this omakase experience. All the cuts were great quality and well sized. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Generally, the food came out quickly but I would still set aside at least an hour and a half for this dinning. The interior is cute with that authentic Japanese homely style.Be ware, they do omakase only with a few add-ons at the end. No a la cart menu.
