Score
High Risk

Across the available record, Wasabi Thai Sushi has nine inspections on file, the first dated 2022. The most recent visit was on Feb 23, 2026. A high risk tier suggests the facility had a rough recent inspection, with multiple violations on record.

There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near 13 violations per visit across recent inspections.

The most common issue across all inspections has been “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease”, showing up seven times.

That's lower than the typical Sebastian restaurant, which scores around 76. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
