Wasabi - West Knoxville

I have been coming to this restaurant for 12+ years on a fairly regular basis and have always had a great experience. However this evening the chef at my table took some sort of issue with me and was rude to me MULTIPLE times throughout the meal, including arguing with me about what I ordered (check the receipt dude), and belittling me for asking him to cook my steak slightly longer (rare means red on the inside, not red on the outside that's just raw), oh and asking him fo

Use to be a great place to enjoy family and dinner. Had same cook last 2xs and issues both times. Will not be back for a 3rd chance. he was rude and for what you pay it's very disrespectful. cleanliness going down, prices up, attitudes bad, management don't care

Had a wonderful time and the food and service was great!

I have 20+ years of experience in the restaurant industry. I have a lot of forgiveness when it comes to lack of staff and such. The chicken is chewy, rice is under cooked, and very little entertainment by the cook. The soup and salad is served together. The service was okay, but as soon as the grill was shut off to go boxes and checks were handed out. I will not eat at any Wasabi location again. Servers were sitting in the bar area on their phones. The bathroom was nasty. Don't waste your money.

We had heard good things about Wasabi's from friends and we were not disappointed! Mariah was our server and she was the best. I wish I had caught our chef's name. He was very entertaining. There was a couple with a young girl and he made a onion train! The food was fabulous and we will definitely come back for other special occasions!
