Wasabi

Wasabi has good food at a standard price. The service is fairly fast. The place is rather small so you could end up sitting pretty close to other people when it is busy.

The sushi is decent. I been going here for ten years though and the service is not friendly so its always takeout.

Ate here on 26 June 2015. My God daughter chose the spot after her graduation. She loves sushi and so do I. It was three of us and we ordered a variety of meals to share. Salmon teriyaki, chicken udon, sweet potato sushi roll and two other sushi rolls. We were not disappointed with any thing. It was so good and as we took a bite of each thing our palates were pleased. My God daughter who is a waitress at another restaurant usually feels the customer service sucks, but it’s a culture thing if you ask me. We were the last to leave the place as we took our time and enjoyed our meal.

their specialty rolls are fantastic!!! every time me and my friend go we always ask our server what they like and always pick out one of their suggestions, and 9 tmes out of 10 the rolls suggested is out of this world. love the décor and the staff is always friendly!

Small little Japanese restaurant, capable of seating maybe 30, that may actually be the only sushi joint in town. The fish was very tasty and fresh, though the service was rather lacking. From the employee who yells from behind the sushi bar as you enter, and then quickly drops menus on your table before retreating behind the counter, to our waitress who could hardly understand our order a lot is left to be desired. I was in and out quickly on a Sunday night, and left content. The food is priced normally for sushi and is fairly quick to come out. Try takeout instead, if you’re local.

The food wasn’t bad but not good. The service is why I’m giving it one star. If you would like to have anything tweaked forget about it. They not only made mistakes with my order but charged me for it. They also tried to charge me for drinks when all I had was water. Horrible customer service and their food isn’t good enough to want deal with it.

We eat here often. It’s always good. Service is spot on. Sushi or from the kitchen it is all good. They are open later then the rest of town on weekends. Lunch or dinner you can’t go wrong.

Had a great lunch here today with my sister, what a find! I live about a half hour away and will be back. Sushi boat for two was plenty! And fresh fresh fresh! One drawback was the salad, just some iceberg lettuce chunks with dressing, but at least it was crispy and fresh. A huge plus for sake lovers, they have many many types of sake, I have never seen such a selection, and price range. The miso soup was hot and tasty. Not sure of the prices because my sister paid, but I will definitely come back. The waitresses were helpful and attentive without being overbearing, a very nice meal.

This was a Valentine’s Day adventure so keep in mind this is a holiday review. With that said, if it wasn’t Valentine’s Day, this would be a 2.5 star review if possible.
The food was good. My girlfriend loved her sushi, a bit skimpy on the ginger but not a big deal. My tempura was light and of good quality in my opinion.
The faults came in the service. No one to greet you at the door; just a waitress half-​yelling from across the place for you to sit where she was pointing. It took quite a while to get our orders taken, and the food took quite a while as well. Also, we had 3 different servers throughout the night which is tough because you never know who to call.
The worst came when I asked for a napkin as soon as my dinner came out. I was just about done with my meal and still didn’t have one. Asked again while she was filling my water and confirmed as she was walking away, and I got a very attitude-​filled: «YES.» Not happy about that.
Probably better for take-​out or a slow weekday.

scratching my head over the ‘mediocre’ statements about this place… but understandable, if you’re a sushi/​sashimi connoisseur, comparisons are natural but folks, Hudson is 130+ miles from NYC/​Manhattan, where you can select from scores of above average purveyors. For upstate NY, it’s really pretty decent. The half dozen or so faux-​Japanese restaurants in Albany aren’t nearly as good, except for Hiro’s on Central, practically on the Schenectady cityline. Wasabi’s owners are very friendly — he and his wife go out of their way to make you feel at home and show their appreciation for regulars. A+ for presentation — the creative configurations of rolls and fish are gorgeous. The sushi chef and the owner, if he’s also behind the bar, will customize practically anything on the menu! Not bad for a rural city far from the madding crowd.

I adore sushi and was initially pleased to see a sushi restaurant in Hudson only a block away from the house I was renting. It was one of the first places we wanted to check out after moving into town. Unfortunately, the food here just isn’t that good nor is the service particularly pleasant or professional. We really wanted to like this place, but after going 4 or 5 times we gave up. The quality of the food is mediocre. The fish is not high grade, the menu never changes, and many of the items such as shumai are obviously purchased frozen, in bulk, rather than made on the premises. The teriyaki dishes are far too sweet and often over-​cooked. The ambiance is non-​existent: the seating is uncomfortable and the tables are placed far too close together; the lighting is harsh and the overall effect is a bit grimy. Since I adore sushi, I simply stopped going. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are really longing for something resembling Japanese food.

Always great food. I’ve been going here for about five years now and the food is still awesome. The owners are really nice people and the staff is very pleasant. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves sushi.

Wasabi is just fine; Hudson is fortunate to have a sushi place. But the food here is very average. If you’re used to high-​quality NYC sushi, you are going to be let down. If you expect high-​grade tuna and the like, stick to the tempura and noodle dishes. (Note: The efficient and friendly staff are Korean, not Japanese.)

Average service. Beautiful décor. Delicious food especially the desserts. And, the waitresses were hawt. :3
Slightly small portions but I personally like that because I have a small stomach and in most other restaurants I would have to bring home leftovers. I hate doing that. And the portion sizes here weren’t minuscule either. Enough that with soup plus salad plus meal plus dessert, I’m comfortably full rather than stuffed.
Love love LOVE the mochi ice cream desserts! The food here is always very good. :)

Decent. Got Wasabi special and regular sushi dinner. Both were good but not as fresh as I would like. Of course, Sunday night is not the time for fresh fish at any restaurant. Also it was pricey. $ 43 for dinner for two. The salad was depressing: rusty iceberg lettuce. The miso soup was decent.

We gave this place a fair shot, with about six or seven visits. Overall, just meh.
Main complaints: the entrees are like Japanese fast-​food. The teriyaki entrees so sweet and cloying, the chicken almost always woefully overcooked.
Oyster appetizer is tasty but overcooked and a bit small for the price — 4 smallish oysters.
One peeve: no free refills for the overdiluted iced-​tea. Tacky.

Sushi infrastructure. That’s what my friend calls it. While a town still has a sushi restaurant, it still has legs…
Interesting point. Hudson still has a lot going on. In fact I think it’s weathered the economic downturn really well.
Anyway back to wasabi. Fresh sushi, fresh rice. Oshinko & agedashi tofu appetizer, and natto roll. Green tea also tasty.
I think it was owned by Chinese but who cares, the food was great.

Decent small town sushi place. The sushi chief was cool and attentive. Our waitress was not good at all. It felt like we were a problem not a customer.

Not the greatest sushi ever, but very reliable and fresh. This is not the type of place you would go on a special occasion but the service is good, the prices are reasonable and it fixes your sushi cravings.

Pleasantly good sushi, with some interesting rolls & the octopus dishes that can be hard to come by ’round here, in a classic (if there is such a thing) sushi restaurant atmosphere — the waving porcelain cats, lots of wood, bamboo and mirrors, sake bottles hanging from the ceiling, colored lights, etc. — not super special but a place I’d go all the time if I lived in the neighborhood. Very family & group friendly (I was there with friends with four kids of varying ages altogether).
