Wasabi Lobby

I ordered from this place through Seamless. This was by far the WORST sushi and GROSSEST EEL sauce I’ve ever eaten in my whole life. I was super hungry tonight and decided to give this place a chance. The delivery was quick but the roll was super small !!! I ordered 2 salmon roll and I got 12 TINY pieces of sushi. The EEL sauce (one of the things I love the most to combine with sushi) it was brownish with a watery aspect and TASTED NOTHING LIKE EEL SAUCE! You guys should really need to learn how to do things and how to USE FRESH FOOD! IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE FRESH SUSHI BY THE END OF THE DAY, JUST CLOSE YOUR BUSINESS EARLY AND AVOID ANY MORE BAD REVIEWS!!! NEVER ORDERING FROM THIS PLACE AGAIN NOR RECOMMENDING TO ANYONE.

We ordered satay beef with peanut sauce, and jumbo shumai.
What was received was Teriyiaki chicken skewers, and tiny shumai.
When I called, the said that they didn’t do satay beef. Even though it is stated on
.
So they took it upon themselves to substitute a completely different appetizer! Great!
Then they also sent a take out menu in the bag with this order, that stated that they do, in fact have satay beef on the menu! Awesome.
Way to run a business.

Awesome sushi and reasonably priced. I tried them on seamless and was really happy. The delivery was quick and the sushi was awesome. I will definitely be ordering from here again!

We asked waitress to split the bill on three credit cards and they didn’t understand. It turns out that they charged me twice. They said it voided out, but it STILL showed up on my credit card. As for the food, it was alright, but nothing special. For a restaurant in NY, they should have higher standards of service. I’d rather listen to Limp Bizkit than eat at this place again.

For a storefront that’s unassuming and a name that’s super silly, I was blown away by my experience at Wasabi Lobby. It’s one of those 5 star reviews for a restaurant appealing to the average Joe.
We started with standard miso soup and salad which was good, and followed it up with the sashimi sampling appetizer. Let me tell you this was some fresh and delicious stuff. Typically, I’m not even into sashimi, I like to cut my fish with some rice and small dab of soy sauce but my partner suggested it and boy did we luck out! I would come back to Wasabi Lobby for just the starter but our sushi entrees were also fantastic. We split a maki combo and a special roll and both were great. At the end of the meal we were offered free ice cream, which to a suburban may seem like a common gesture but in Manhattan is rarity and a shocking treat.
To top it all off, the service was great… I tried Wasabi Lobby because of a Scoutmob special and the waitress let us save the deal for next time we came in. Gosh, I hope that doesn’t get her in trouble because she was sweet as pie (or maybe some egg custard sushi as we’re talking Japanese here).
Judging by some of the reviews posted, it may seem like I’m bluffing but I really was incredibly impressed by this place. Perhaps it was a one time experience, but I sure will find out!

After eating at several local Sushi restaurants, my perspective of Wasabi Lobby has changed. It is decent quality, but not as good as other local options.

Worst seamless order I have ever made. Was told the order would take 10 – 15 minutes. After an hour we called to inquire about out food and it had not even been cooked yet. No apology and the staff was very unprofessional.

Great sushi, fresh, nice presentation. Service is either great or eh depending on your server. Good spot on the UES.

Love love looooooove wasabi lobby!!! This is my go-​to sushi place! The fish is super fresh and the sushi pieces are big and filled plenty!!! The staff is accommodating and the prices are right! The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because sometimes it isn’t as good as it could be, but 19 out of 20 times they are a hit for me, dining-​in or delivery! :)

Stopped in on a whim with a coworker for lunch.
Ordered dumplings and edamame as appetizers. Both were DELISH!!! The edamame was cooked PERFECTLY!!! She even gave us spicy mayo to dip it in (I asked)
Coworker got a variety of rolls for himself. I got the shrimp tempura. It was actually kinda greasy for my taste, but it was still good… The ginger salad dressing was really AMAZING too! We’re already talking about going back!

They’ve got pretty extensive menus with a few unique hot appetizers, which initially caught my attention.
As a first timer, I got my comfort food: a warm vegetable soba noodle soup, and an order of shrimp summer rolls. The soba noodle soup was light yet so delicious, that was exactly what i was craving for, totally hit the spot.
The summer roll comes in 4 substantial pieces, quite generous portion, but just note it’s not your usual Thai/​Vietnamese style, it’s Japanese modified, but light, fresh, and tasty.
I have no complaints about Wasabi Lobby so far, and am definitely interested in trying more of their hot appetizers and special sushi rolls soon.

Ordered some kind of special tuna roll that was pretty good. Got to the last two pieces, but couldn’t separate them because there was a long hair joining them together. They took the roll off the bill and apologized, but didn’t seem particularly mortified about there being a hair in a customer’s food. Anyway, hair = dealbreaker.

This place was yummy, love the atmosphere.

Under new Management so I decided to try this place.
To be honest, Ive had better sushi in New York. I don’t know if it was just a bad day to have sushi but the fish were pretty fishy in taste and smell. And that should never happen with fresh sushi.
Although I had ordered delivery, their service was quite fast (food came within 10 mins) and that was another concern, maybe it was already made and was just sitting out I don’t know.
I don’t think I would try this place again.

The sushi at Wasabi Lobby is great! Try the special rolls, especially the spicy garlic tuna roll, it’s amazing!

Some of the sushi was really good, some of it was so-​so. Here’s what we ordered: miso soup (eh…pretty bland), spicy tuna (good), spicy scallop (love this roll), sweetie roll (pretty plain… was expecting a bit more, spicy tuna inside was good, but tuna wrapped on the outside wasn’t much — wouldn’t get this again). hamachi kama — delicious! great value! give it a shot if you’re in the area and looking for sushi.

I loved their crab salad and miso soup! Everything tasted so fresh and the restaurant had such a nice atmosphere. The waiter was very attentive and provided great service. My sister had the chicken fried rice that was so tasty. I would definitely recommed this spot if you’re in for the sushi experience. Oh! Habachi also available here, you are interested.

We came here after happy hour this past Friday. Being a little rowdy, i’m glad they served us! We ordered a couple of rounds of sake bomb (this place plays no music) so i am not sure how everyone else felt about us banging the table and chanting SAKE SAKE SAKE SAKE!
They also played music for us, the server offered to play music from our iphone, and it was so much fun! PARTTYYY
Lastly, we all ordered sushi, my buddy and i shared soft shell crab as appetizer, and shared Sex in the lobby and lobster roll, they were really good and i must say, i’ve never been here (and been living on the UES for 2+yrs), i’ve been missing out!!! Can wait to come back for more sushi, i promise we wont be rowdy…

Solidly dependable sushi joint. Been going to it since it opened up around fours years ago. Basically I just stick with the rolls and sushi. Don’t stray too far off the basics and you will be ok. They make a nice fat roll here so you get your money’s worth. They have around 14 signature rolls that are fun and innovative. Sushi is decent and fresh.
Stylish and clean décor, lots of outside seating, and very attentive wait staff. They also do a happy hour until 7PM with some nice deals on beer, cocktails, and select appetizers. Varied menu options with lunch deals too.
Not a destination spot on the UES, but more like a good neighborhood sushi place.

Stopped by here on a random weeknight my coworker and it changed my special sushi roll expectations. We couldn’t decide what we wanted so finally just closed our eyes and picked and man was it a winner!
The Spicy Garlic Tuna roll is like nothing I have ever had before. Tuna, check. Spicy sauce, check. Avocado, check. Crispy garlic flakes, check!
Every night that I dont feel like cooking (which is almost every day), the battle of whether i should order this amazing roll enters my mind. Wasabi Lobby wins about once a week. I’m sincerely beginning to worry that they know my order as soon as they hear my voice.
