I've eaten at Wasabi a couple of times and the first time I ate there I thought it was really good, but not so much the second time. Never been to Kanpai Tokoyo.

It just seems to me that Kanpai is more authentic. They salt and pepper everything to death at Wasabi. Don't get me wrong, it is good too. I don't think I have had any bad Japanese food.

I haven't been to a japanese steakhouse in a while, this is making me hungry. They just opened a Wasabi here, didn't realize it was a chain, and I thought it was primarily sushi.

I used to love the one in Savannah, can't remember the name.

I live in Huntsville, and I personally like Mikato's the best. Shogun will do in a rush

My company is based out of Greensboro and there is a place over there called Fire Sticks (i think). It is real good. I actually met some Vol fans from SC. there one itme while I was visiting. We sat at the same table. Had a couple of carafe's of Saki and toasted the Big Orange. Good times.

It was the first Japanese steakhouse I ever tried when I was a kid. My brother was going to UT and when the parents and I would go visit, it was where he wanted to eat.

I haven't been in years.

There is a good Japanese steakhouse about 5 minutes from my house. We love going there on occasion, but with two of my kids eating the food, too it gets a tad expensive...that and the fact I can't resist the filet, shrimp and scallop dinner.
