Wasabi Jane’s Rice and Noodle Works

This is my first 1 star review simply based on the quality of food instead of service or any other factors. The food is utterly terrible. I know they look like Chinese food. But please believe me, you will be surprised. Other bad food may be out of negligence, food here feels like a prank. They seem to be bad with a purpose.
If you are with your parents and their only request is to have Chinese food. Please convince them food here is not Chinese. Donot be fooled by the apperance. I think we should create some name for the food they serve here instead of calling them Chinese or Asian food. They are something else. I would rather having 5 plain bagels. You and your parents would be better off having burgers, pizza, sandwich or anything else. Do yourself a favor.
Alright, back to the food. I ordered chicken with steamed vegetable and green beans. Let me call them, cold and dry chicken chunks with bitter vegetable and raw green beans. I honestly have not had food this bad for a long time. It is difficult to imagine how someone could make these simple ingredients taste so bad without sabotage them intentionally. Anyway, maybe there are secret camera crew shooting footage nearby.

Even though this is one of the only decent places to eat in the food court, their chicken was dry and their prices are too much for what you get. Only eat here if you absolutely must — think more fuel than food. And don’t order the chicken…

Don’t be fooled by the steaks on display! They look as good as a brick in teryaki sauce. Fish must have came from the dirty water of rural Papua New Guinea. Meats coming from animals suffering from mad cow. Im sorry Wasabi Jane but you might need to change the name of your business. I don’t think it is Japanese. It is just a bunch of junk mixed in sauce. Their steaks on display were the size of my arm! However after they took it outback to cook, it came back smaller than a chicken nugget. $ 35 dollars for two plates! THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS FOR TWO PLATES! Two plates of what? Cow ass on a stick?
Stay away! Eat Mcdonalds!

Seriously I think this place ranks up there with some of the worst Asian food I’ve eaten at a food court! I ordered the chicken with noodles and broccoli! Chicken was covered in some sort of brown sauce. It was so soggy and tasted of lower quality. The broccoli was so disgusting that it was either frozen or grown on some Chernobyl type radioactive farm! I’m seriously surprised I didn’t get a belly ache or something worse as it was something I wouldn’t even feed to a starving dog!
Go to the other restaurant China Taste or eat something else! Really poor quality!

Way too expensive for the quality of food which is mediocre at best. Chicken was hard and not good. The vegetable tempura wasn’t bad.

Avoid at all cost. This place is pure trash. As of 12÷15÷13, a salmon steak meal including a side veggie and white rice costs $ 14. Add $ 1.5 to swap the veggie for several pcs of chicken. But I still need a side of string beans. Please add another $ 3. This ends up to be a $ 20 lunch. WTF? And the salmon is too dry to be edible. Just go somewhere else.

Best option in the food court.
The ramen (soup) is made fresh to order… tasty and filling, it’s a welcome meal compared to the inferior food court options. Leave the super sized pizza slices and deep fried garbage for the ppl with front butts.

Complete crap. Not even close to Japanese or any sort of Asian cuisine.
Soggy, cold rice, tasteless dry chicken, and waaaay overpriced.

food tastes ok, it’s not real Japanese! just looking at the people cooking in the back and behind the counter, they are all Latinos! get it people? so don’t expect real Japanese food here. but overall it’s a okay place. but it is very very expensive! cost me and my wife 47 dollars to eat a simple lunch here! we got a sushi plate, unagi don, Japanese pot sticker and a drink! that’s expensive! but since most ppl eating here are tourist from overseas I don’t think they care much about this since this will be the first and last time they will eat here

I’m really surprised by the reviewer who gave this place a 2-​star review.
I really couldn’t blame this restaurant, because all of them at the Commons are just horrible. I guess they don’t have to be good, since they’re so busy anyways.
Not only do they have horrendous food, but also they’re insanely overpriced.
If you can, try to go outside the Commons and eat, or pack your own food.

As busy as it looks, food is actually not good.
Herds of tour buses flock to the seemingly ”good” deals that woodbury common outlets offer annual tourists. But don’t be fooled by their deals. Food is just the same.
At an okay priced $ 6 meal one would hope for a hearty meal after shopping. Wasabi Janes was a disappointment. Food was warm and my tempura was a soggy joke. But I guess that’s what one would expect. Deals on name brands but awful food to hungry foodies like myself.
I should have went for a hot dog at nathans. Next time perhaps…

The sushi looks like it might be good here but it is not. It does not list the menu for an individual nigiri so I asked for the price. The workers lack English skills and I thought he said $ 1.15 which would be a reasonable price for nigiri out in the country. I thought it was too good to be true so I asked several more times. Each time he said $ 1.15. So I put in my order: 2 salmon, 2 yellow tail, 2 tamago (egg), and a kappa maki (cucumber roll). When I went to pay, the price was very high. I asked why and again he said what sounded like $ 1.15 for the nigiri. I finally asked to see a menu or if they could write it own. He claimed the price was on the menu but then couldn’t find it. Finally he pulled out money to show me that it was $ 1.50 which is pricey for nigiri not in the city. I was annoyed and at this point I should have walked away but I hadn’t see the sushi yet. The sushi finally came out. The salmon, tamago, and kappa maki were okay. They skimped on the amount for salmon for a price of $ 1.50. The yellow tail was disgusting. I tried to take a bite but ended up not being able to eat it. It was discolored and clearly very old.
It is way overpriced here and the service is just plain bad. Seriously, AVOID and just go to Au Bön Pain which is next door and we know it will always be good!

Being a semi-​unique looking quick service restaurant located in the food court of Woodbury Commons, the creative name of the restaurant alone already makes me want to try it. It’s the only one of its kind at Woodbury Commons so I thought this type of place is bound to get a lot of business. As I walked toward the restaurant, my expectations slowly disappeared. The restaurant had a nice catchy name, but from the typical menu they had and the nonchalant and confusing service they presented me with, I was unimpressed. The prices were also on the high-​end for such typical food something like $ 8 or $ 9 for two side dishes with rice. The restaurant works similar to Panda Express or the equivalent where we would pick two items and it would come with rice. The food would be dumped in a typical Styrofoam plate with two side portion dividers. Honestly, I was not sure what the employees were saying to me the entire time. There was a bit of confusion when we went to order a bowl of ramen in the adjacent section of the restaurant. The guy behind the booth refused to take our order and asked us to go pay at the register first. Strange, because when we ordered our two side dishes and the rice, we weren’t asked to pay first. The employee at the middle section had my husband pay up first along with our rice meal and then my husband received a red raffle ticket, which he apparently had to give to the employee at the noodle booth. It didn’t make sense to me to do it this way because traffic was extremely low at this restaurant. The employee at the meal section could easily shout or tell the guy at the noodle booth two steps away to make me a bowl of ramen instead of doing a ticket transfer. It’s not like I have to show him a ticket either. I had to give him a ticket, which he dumped into a cup, and wait or else he will not start making my meal. It sounds kind of ridiculous. The process reminds me of the DMV.
When the ramen was ready, we went to a little side station inside the quick service restaurant to get some condiments, napkins, and the like.
Upon taking my food into the food court, my husband and I dug into our foods. I think we ordered sweet and sour chicken and some broccoli (if I recalled correctly, a typical order.) Of course, we also had a bowl of ramen noodles with the soup filled up to the brim. It was hard not to spill some of the soup while walking. One aspect of our food I remembered is that the soy sauce packet at the condiment station is a must because the food tasted a bit dry. The ramen tasted OK. Despite my disappointments, we ate the entire thing.
PROS: catchy name
CONS: a bit pricey, confusing service, unnecessary ticket system, difficulty understanding English
