S. FanJanuary 4, 2015Love it off the little Tokyo area on St.Marks. it is more grown ups, low key yet always good food and sake selection. Choose whatever seasonal, like the monkfish liver I got. Or anything uni!
Nicole ShwirtzDecember 31, 2014Uni lovers rejoice over the spectacular "uni lover." Maine uni, uni chips, guac and garlic-peanut oil come together in the best uni appetizer ever. Check out my review on urchinsurchin.com
Comforting yet inventive food, relaxed atmosphere and great service. Get the tartar, sashimi or steak bowls, crispy shrimp tempura, uni ramen. Specials rotate regularly and are always a treat!
Lori LuoMarch 6, 2015Wasan offers up an excellent five-course menu at $55. Dishes like the the Spinach and Arugula salad with Duck and the Stone Grilled Sirloin Steak are superb. Don't leave with trying dessert.
I'm afraid to write a review for this spot-- because I'm afraid it'll get too busy! It's a must try if you like Japanese. Get the foie gras and Uni lover sushi-- every time.
Caroline SchulweisFebruary 2, 2017Perfect place for uni and Sake lovers! Uni lover sushi was great, as well as the tuna, salmon roll, and black cod
Omer ZachNovember 17, 2014Fridays and Saturdays 10pm to 1am they serve great ramen. Try the simple shio ramen with a perfectly soft-boiled egg.
David HuSeptember 28, 2014Their "late night ramen" is relatively cheap compared to their regular menu. Decent stuff and since it's open earlier (10-midnight fri/sat), you're not dealing with the drunken masses like at benkei.
Ben MackeyAugust 3, 2014Hot summer night? Get the Wasan Chilled Ramen. Only a small amount of broth - it is more like a deconstructed ramen. Fri and Sat nights after 10pm.
stephiedooFebruary 28, 2013Great for dates. Intimate and chill. The uni sushi and foie gras rice bowl are amazing! Also have the Yona Yona ale!
Josephine SonJune 21, 2012Food is amazing!! Foie gras sushi and Uni lover's dish are a must! Shrimp bun was good. Wanna to back to try everything else!!
EMarch 18, 2015Try the hidden ramen menu - only available late night Friday and Saturday. Ramen is light, refreshing and delicious!
Michelle C.January 2, 2012NYC Foodie reco'd: Shrimp buns, both versions of shrimp tempura (one has tortilla crust!), short rib and sashimi. End meal with smokey tea.
Foie Gras rice and the open roll are great breaks from your everyday sushi. The sake selection is excellent too. Just ask Toshi.- Come here for neuvo japanese cuisine. Seasonal ingredients will keep you coming back. Love their food and sake.
David StrasserOctober 6, 2012Obviously get the foie gras and uni dishes, but don't overlook the fried tomato in dashi broth. Delicious.
Matt RussellApril 11, 2015Uni lover is the signature dish, pickled Chayote tastes surprisingly like cheese.
Ask for the ramen, only available after 10p on Fri and Sat. It's as good as it gets.
Great food and rare sake w/ pleasant staffs. Uni lover is a signature dish.
If you leave Wasan without ordering the Uni Lover, you're failing at life.
Christine FanOctober 8, 2011$45 5-course tasting menu, $18 for sake flight (3), try the foie gras rice!

"I really liked this place. The quality of the food was great and their weekly food specials can make it a fairly cheap night out, too."

"an incredible kaiseki: some courses so good, I ate them so very slowly to keep the flavor going long. if you are able, reserve the private table downstairs for your crew."
