Best WLM Reviews
The service is mid. The lady was nice though.
She forgot my chilli powder, after I already ate almost all my miso soup. Had to order another one to fully enjoy the spice, but the sushi is GREAT! the rolls are decently sized, and they did a great job heating up the sake. It wasn’t too hott.
Their music rocks btw. They played rnb hits. It was so cool! The tables r a bit run down but, the place is super clean.
Waited on a to go box for 20 mins.
The food was great, although I didn't enjoy my lamb as much, as an alternative the frog legs were great. The sushi was amazing. I can agree with the other customers complaint about service. The server was not that great, didn't bring napkins, or check on the table for refills or anything besides at the end when we were ready for to go boxes and the check. Her demeanor wasn't terrible, she should simply be trained on how to properly serve and cater to her customers needs. Also, I wouldn't recommend sitting in again, I would get my food to go. It simply isn't a good feeling atmosphere. Very plain on the inside and boring. In reference to some people complaining about the wait on the food, my experience wasn't very long, I noticed they make their food to order, so we all should be considerate of that and expect a little wait.
Update: looking further down in the reviews I did not know they scored a 48 on a health inspection. Iam very disappointed I wasted time and money at this establishment. It should be shut down.
We are super picky about sushi and were incredibly surprised by how good it was tonight. 7 in our party and each got something different. The wings were the best our friend had ever had, his kiddo had the Sizzling Steak (with broccoli instead of green peppers and onions) and he all but licked the platter after he finished it, we got the pork buns and they were YUMMY, my kiddo got tempura shrimp and steamed shrimp dumplings and was super happy. We got the Hawaii Roll and the Kai Roll and they were phenomenal. One kiddo got all salmon sushi and a salmon roll and ate it so fast it was so good and then said, “I’m melting and now in a salmon sushi coma of joy.” Will definitely return!
**I wish I had taken photos but was too excited to stop before we ate!
Tonight, we found Asian River completely by accident. We were driving by and decided to stop in for dinner. We had other plans and literally cancelled them as we ordered our drinks. Best decision we have made in a long time.
It's nearly impossible to find good Asian food that hasn't been dulled down to basic bastardized random mall quality over-cooked corporate crap that we are all so very accustomed to that we think that is the way it should be, or worse yet, that it's actually good.
Asian River is the real deal.
You could tell everything was hand made. Higher quality ingredients. Vegetables fresh cut and perfectly cooked. Freshly rolled egg rolls. Freshly made Udon noodles. The general Taos chicken was perfection. An actual "sauce" instead of the run of the mill spicy hot sugar syrup. the chicken was cooked well and not hard or rubbery. The fried rice was an entirely different recipe than the normal fried rice you might get elsewhere, they make each serving of fried rice to order. It's absolutely magical.
It has been a very long time since I have had food this good. The seating and Decor are fantastic , I especially love the Ikea flower lights. Even the wall color blue over blue just made my day.
Our server, was very attentive and even though English is not her first language she seems to be doing well and making the best effort to communicate. There was a little confusion with the drinks, but it was just a matter of us taking a few extra minutes to ask questions and clarify. She did beautifully. The other server and the Chef stopped by as well and everyone was just wonderful.
We are definitely making this our regular spot now.
I am concerned about the other reviews. I was actually shocked to see so many bad ones and I am absolutely going to call them out. Most of these people don't know what they are talking about. I feel like the restaurant would be better received further north towards downtown or maybe out near Sandfly or the islands. This is not a fast food , drop in and dip out kind of place. This is a hidden gem that needs cliental with a broader pallet and significantly more patience. Absolutely worth every minute and every dime.
I've gone here twice so far with my husband and everything has been absolutely delicious! We've lived in Savannah for 6 years and only recently decided to try this place. Totally worth every penny! They have an all you can eat option at $25 per person, which seems a little steep but you have access to so much sushi, sashimi, appetizers and many other items on their main menu! It's all made to order, completely unlimited, and INCREDIBLE. You get well past your money's worth if you can put away sushi like we do.
The staff here is helpful and very kind, the waiter and waitress that we've had in our two trips have been super nice and informative. The food is packed with flavor and comes from the kitchen lightening fast even when they're very busy! I highly suggest the Wa La Dumplings. They're coated in a chili sauce that isn't too spicy with cilantro and spring onion on top of it. They also have a variety of $5 bubble tea.
Wonderful! 100/10.
First of all the service was the worst. We always were looking for our server , she didn’t bring the refills for the drinks. Then i ordered crab ragoon for my appetizer. It wasn’t tasty at all. Me and my friend tried two of them( ONE FOR EACH). We asked to take it from the table and from the check as well but the server said they can’t do cancellation:) After we asked for a manager… Again nobody talked to us and she made us pay for everything. That’s not the right way of treating your customers!Never coming back again!!!
My friend and I had a late lunch around 3 pm. The restaurant wasn't busy at that hour however other people came in while we were there. We agreed that our dishes, which we shared, were both delicious. I had eggplant in garlic sauce with chicken and she had the spicy chicken. I selected white rice and she selected brown rice.
We plan to return to try other dishes.
The menu had a nice selection of dishes from Chinese and other Asian cuisines. Some dishes, such as the eggplant with garlic sauce, allowed a choice of protein to accompany the basic dish.
The restrooms were nice and clean. Parking was easy with space both in front and on the side.
The restaurant atmosphere was relaxed with interesting decor and a nice, large fish tank atop a chest high wall that provided a divider in the room that contained both tables and booths.
I had to say the food was so delicious especially the BBQ. I went there yesterday to get my take out and asked them if I can get some pictures to put on the social media. They nicely allowed me to do it and even showed me how they make them. Definitely gonna come back again.
