You see the pics from when me and greg tore up sakura? we must have had 12 rolls… ---

I have eaten a few times at Wasabi - Hopkins, during lunch times their specials for two rolls is pretty good price. Food and service has always been good when I went, never really had to wait either. Someone mentioned Wegman’s sushi as well, it has always seemed decent to me and fresh (at least the one by Sheridan/Evan’s). ---

I love it [Wasabi], we go almost weekly at work…never had a problem getting a table, service or good sushi. I call recall once that the tuna in one of my rolls wasn’t spectacular but nothing to complain about really. ---

> Went to Wasabi on Hopkins for lunch today. I’ve been there ~5 times or so. Each time the food has been ok-good, but the service has been piss poor. The wait today from sitting down to eating was ~40-45 minutes, for 3 rolls. What time was your lunch time? The times that I have gone there, it was with a group of people and we arrived between 12:25 and 12:35, never had to wait to sit. Our whole lunch break from leaving work to coming back to work was about 45 minutes total and its a 5-10minute drive depending on lights/traffic that day. Without a larger base of responses there is no way to know if what you experienced is the norm there or not. But, since we were talking about the places that I have been to, I was throwing in my two cents for others to read as well. (which is what I thought this thread was for) ---

(which is what I thought this thread was for) we went at ~noon. didnt wait to sit, but it took forever for them to ask for our drinks, then bring our drinks, then longer to take our order, then like 25 mins to make our rolls.

I went to Wasabi on Elmwood the other day and it was horrible. Food sucked, service blew hard. It just felt like we were a burden being there. I don’t think I will be going to that one for a while. The fact is that sushi here in Buffalo is sub-par period. If you think Buffalo’s offerings are great then I’m sorry you haven’t had good suhsi yet. Toronto is the closest thing for some really good sushi and if anyone is ever interested in making a trip for some let me know I know some good places. With that said, my favorite is still Kuni thus far. Closest thing to traditional sushi. Quality is good, service is good, the wait sucks but that’s what you get for being the best. And for those that have not had the Gintara, it’s the only place in town that offers it. This is a traditional japanese dish that is probably my favorite thing to get when I go for sushi. It’s cooked fish BTW. ---

Wegmans is pretty hit and miss. The one on Alberta or Sheridan is usually good, but the one in West Seneca is usually not as good. I had some pretty nasty food poisoning the last time I had sushi from the West Seneca location.
