I LOVE SUSHI
A gem tucked away in Olney with a boat bar and beautiful Samurai Swords for ambiance. The food is outstanding.
Eat in or take it to go, it still tastes great.    [23 Feb 2004 19:36:23]

Superpurb Sushi
Who would have thought that a small town like Olney, 2/12 hours from the water, would have a sushi restaurant this good. The fish is of superior quality, the chef is extremely skilled both in preparation and presentation, and the ambiance is extremely relaxing. The chef will create any sushi you desire regardless if it resides on the menu or not, along with creating new dishes that do not exist anywhere (I highly recommend asking for one of these unique creations, you will be pleasantly surprised). For the price there is nothing in the mid-atlantic that comes close.    [23 Jan 2006 15:57:07]

Slo-o-ow Service
The sushi is very good. We would like to be regulars as we live in the area and just love sushi.

Our biggest problem has been the incredibily slow service. There is only one sushi chef and only one waitress on duty. The chef seems to prepare carry-out orders before those of the customers in the restaurant. With just 2 or 3 tables filled we wait at least 30-45 minutes for the sushi order. So 10 minutes for the waitress to bring tea, 10 minutes more to order, 10-15 minutes for salad or miso, 30 minutes for sushi and 15 minutes to get the bill. In the ordinary or uncomfortable atmosphere --is just too long!

Also, the restaurant puts on the air conditioning only at opening time, so beware it can be very hot in the summer.

It is just not worth it, unless you are desparate for a fix of raw fish.    [11 Oct 2006 14:06:38]

Great Sushi Restaurant
My husband and I have eaten at Wasabi Zen many times and love it each time. You can always get a table, the food is delicious, the ambiance is nice but you can still be casual. The wait staff is fine and we've never had a problem with the wait. We love it!    [11 May 2007 20:57:56]

Not so Zen
I went to Wasabi Zen with my wife on a Sunday and were the only two guests in the entire place. We ordered 4 sushi rolls and two peices and it took 40 min. After giving the server less than 20 % of our $55 bill, (no alachol, no apps) she came out into the parking lot to ask if there was a problem. I said that it was slow and "good". Her reply, "Then go someplace else!"

The sushi was mediocre at best and service was poor.

I will be going someplace else without a doubt.    [12 Aug 2007 17:09:32]
