New to town, tried this sushi place. The kitchen was overwhelmed that night and so we waited over an hour for our sushi platter. It happens, we didn't make a fuss about it, but at about the hour mark we asked if our food was coming soon and the lady responded, its coming, its busy. Having worked in the restaurant business at this point you apologize and at least offer a round of drinks, more shrimp crackers etc. None of that happened, we received the bill and paid it no issue and as we were walking out the lady made a rude comment that we didn't leave enough of a tip. We tipped 15%.

Great local sushi place! It was our first time so we ordered a selection of rolls and nigiri and we enjoyed it! The fish tasted fresh, and the rolls were creative and well made. This is the first Sushi place we've been able to try in the area, so not sure how it compares to other sushi places around, but it's definitely worth visiting if you are local and in the mood! They also do takeout!

Wasabi Zen is the best sushi restaurant in Olney because it is the only sushi restaurant in Olney, unfortunately. The sushi is good, but their customer service is awful and makes it well worth driving just a bit out of town to another spot.This evening I ordered dinner for carry out around 5pm, as it’s a Saturday and they often have a long wait time on the weekends. To our surprise, it was going to be ready in 20 minutes. No big deal, we had no problem refrigerating it until we were ready to eat dinner once our baby went to sleep. We unpack the boxes at 7 and notice that one of the rolls is missing. Mistakes happen, but we definitely shouldn’t have to pay for a roll that we didn’t receive, so I called explaining the situation and requested a refund for the roll. First, I was told that I didn’t order the roll that I indicated was missing. I replied that not only did the person taking the order repeat the order back before hanging up, but when I picked up the order they also read out all of the rolls. We definitely ordered the missing roll. Once that case was made, she said I should have called right when I picked it up. I explained why I didn’t, as we picked up earlier than we were intending to eat. She said there was nothing that she could do. She then passed the phone to two other people to continue saying the same thing. The final person I spoke with continued to say “we checked the order and it should have been there” …exactly my point, it should have been there. Again, mistakes happen, but it wasn’t there and we paid for a roll that we didn’t receive. He continued to state that there was just nothing they could do.The cost of the roll was $7.95. When I initially called I thought it would be a quick whoops, so sorry, no problem, refund. But rather than just refund $7.95, they’ve lost a customer for good. Skip Wasabi Zen and drive just out of Olney in any direction—there’s better sushi with owners and staff that don’t assume you’re lying and will own up to their mistakes.

Tuna maki used shredded tuna, which I didn't see in the description. Not really appealing. All three makis were not sealed correctly, and all fell apart along the 'seam'.

I quit trying to come here a few years back because they keep total bankers hours. Ninety-odd percent of the time when you show up they’re never open. No idea how they stay in business. I decided to try them again today on a whim and guess what? Closed. Must be independently wealthy I guess. They don’t seem to want my money so fine. There’re plenty of other places that do. ??♂️

Went with my wife and had a deliciously wonderful experience! The service, ambiance and food was excellent. As someone who has traveled the world and also visited Japan, I found the food to be very authentic and made with lots of thought and flavor. Melts in your mouth. Like butter. Straight up no joke, I closed my eyes and could feel the flavor rush over me and take me to another place. My wife and I also enjoyed the cozy ambiance and the service was very on point. I can honestly say that most places I have visited I do not return. But I can assure you, I’m looking forward to my next dining experience at Wasabi Zen.

Sushi tasted just like most of sushi places. Nothing particularly special. But this place's price and portion are very SPECIAL. Their shumai are "Quarter" coin size(never saw such super mini shumai in any other places).Chicken Teriyaki is half of one chicken breast for $23.95. Overpriced place.

I was asked to take my food off my plate and put it on a soy sauce dish so they could wash my dish and give it to a customer because they ran out of plates mid lunch. I’ve never had this happen, was flabbergasted. No apologies either. Highly unprofessional. Imagine what other shortcuts they take!

This has been our go-to sushi spot for about 15 years now. The staff is friendly and the sushi is delicious.

The food quality is good, but the takeout experience is terrible. I was told my order would be ready at 7 PM, and at 7:20 PM-after standing there for 20 minutes - I was told that additional 10 minutes would be needed. The takeout service is consistently slow/behind schedule. Unfortunately, this is one experience of many.
