A: I'll preface that it seems some people question authenticity of a person just because they had a decent meal at this place, that it's some sort of lie or ignorance I'd give it more than 1-2 stars... which isn't quite fair to say as this is about everyones individual experiences and I happen to have been happy with mine. I'm not Chinese but my older 2 brothers and sister are and their culture is very prevalent as part of my upbringing since I was born. My dad was a businessman whose partners are all Chinese and we spent much time in Hong Kong and had indulgences cooked by our Chinese friends/business partners/family and I cook Chinese at home. We came late at night before they were closing after watching a show. A few customers in there still, but only 3 other tables, one Chinese. Foodwise, I was very surprised that it took me back to times feeling like I was eating from someones home kitchen. Appetizers- black bean pork riblets, green onion pancake and for main- Braised E Fu noodles with crab, Macau style pork. Riblets were soft and piping hot, paired well with the pancake which was a nice balance of crisp, soft and right amount of chewiness. My favorite childhood pancake done right texture wise...was light on the onion which I can go heavy or lighthanded with it. E-Fu noodles had a decent portion, good lumps of crab that was fresh and had sliced shitakes in it. This was simple and nicely flavored and done. Macau pork was a small portion, but good- crispy, some fat but not too much...served with sauce and pickled veggies. Ice tea was surprisingly nice. It wasn't a plain tea like Lipton, but a nice blend that had fruity and flowery balanced....most of the restaurants brew this same ice tea. I should ask what it is next time. Overall, I thought the food lived up to making me happy and did taste authentic. The server wasn't really friendly or chatty, but was attentive. Checking on us, refilling drinks, replaced our utensils from apps to main, made sure to ask for last call on the kitchen. Staff was on and would be very sad if they couldn't manage us 4 tables in for late night but it passed what I expected it to be. Pricewise though is the deal breaker as its like 2x what a usual family owned spots would for this casual Chinese food. Yeah, it's in a casino so you pay for convenience, a nicer ambiance and the fact that rent there in Palazzo/Venetian is some of the most expensive on the strip so they gotta cover their ass. I don't think it's easy to market Chinese food at this price as we're used to paying cheap prices for good Chinese foods.If this was a "gourmet burger bar" or a sushi bar something of the like, I doubt it would struggle as much or have as much price complaints. We got a special discount so it was worth it, but at regular price for a local I will head to Chinatown instead of the strip for food. Still, the food was good and made me feel like I was eating a Chinese uncles food at home. It's been a while since something reminded me of being a kid. I say food is good and if you have to eat in Palazzo, then it's a choice but it's a hefty price compared to a taxi ride to Chinatown.
Q: positive

A: My boyfriend brought me to SSE, and I was a bit skeptical at first, given the absurdly long line, as you order at the counter and then sit. Yet even though it was a Sunday, the staff worked so quickly we had ordered and found a table within 10 minutes. The gluten-free pancakes are to-die-for. I've been GF for years, and never I have I had pancakes so rich in flavor and so perfect in texture, despite trying varying restaurants, boxed mixes, and recipes from scratch. My boyfriend ordered the blind special, but if you don't ask what it is, you get it for 1/2 off! You're allowed to ask about allergies, though, and so I could even try some of his, which was this amazing sweet potato and sausage casserole, topped with fried eggs. In short, great place, great food, but as bit too crowded, too hot (no AC!?!?!) and way too noisy (there's nothing to absorb the sound) place for a relaxed meal, but the food and the friendly staff make up for it.

Answer: I wasn't impressed with Wasabi. I ordered a Chef's choice combination platter with 3 pieces of sushi, one roll, and 5 pieces of sashimi. The roll was fine although I could tell the tuna wasn't all that fresh. Speaking of tuna, that seemed to be what the chef was willing to part with - one piece of sushi was also tuna, and two pieces of sashimi were as well. I actually love tuna, but this stuff was a bit mushy and pale looking... I did receive one piece of salmon sashimi that was tasty and fresh, but the other selections were not much to speak of. As noted in another review, the rice is packed too tightly as well - I don't like that - it makes me feel like someone was fondling my food before serving it up. Some folks seem to enjoy the atmosphere at Wasabi, but I personally do not. For lack of better description, I'd say it feels kind of junky, but that's probably fitting for all the East Coast trashies that seem to frequent this joint - I mean who cares, Daddy puts the money in my wallet, and I just spend it. Anyway, the service is equally unimpressive - we got water right away, but had to wait quite awhile before an opportunity to order...then the soup finally came...and then the main course (which I don't mind waiting for if the end result is satisfying). Overall, the waitress was unwelcoming, disinterested, and didn't want to serve us - we were real nice to her anyway. So...sorry for being harsh, but this place is overrated. I know it's a long standing Madison establishment, but there are several better options in Madison right now. Wasabi needs to freshen up their everything, or get outta town!

Good food! Sundays kids are free! Great service! Loved it! I recommend any kind of pizza and the strawberry and Gorgonzola salad!
