Stopped for a quick bite while visiting the area.
Easy to find from the main road, it’s located in a strip mall. Parking was pretty easy.
Not very assuming place from the main road but once inside very cozy. Felt like places I’ve visited in Japan.
Service was first class, very friendly staff.
Food was fine, the spicy tuna rolls were not very spicy but otherwise tasted fine. Spider roll was good. Presentation of the food was excellent.
Definitely would stop by again when in the area. We did see a combo roll set with 4x4 rolls for about $24 which I would likely try next time I visit.
Would definitely like to explore the menu more.

Local gem that has been family run since 1999!!! Can’t believe we found Wafu Sushi on vacation and it exceeded our expectations. Great deal for the omakase. The soup that comes with the dinner set was amazing.

This place is a gem. The staff are very nice, and the food is wonderful. My favorites are the Samurai roll, dragon balls, and seared salmon sushi. I highly recommend this place.

Place was a little tight and loud when it fills up. Fried california roll and dumplings were fantastic.

Review 2025. The food is so wonderful here, The high quality and fresh ingredients translate to exquisite flavor. Check the secret menu, they have delicious options. The burrito roll is a must!

Review 2024. Great quality salmon, so good that it felt like butter melting in my mouth. The samurai burrito was delicious. My only “but” would be the seaweed of the rolls was hard. Service and attention was really good.

Salmon quintet was fun and delicious.
Salmon skin salad was okay; not bad, but not great; salmon skin was a little too shredded.
Yuzu Madai tasted watery; was not a fan.
Spider roll (soft shell crab) was okay and good portion, but the tempura batter was a little heavy.

Place is cozy and small.

My wife and I love this Japanese restaurant. The food is excellent. We ordered salmon and chicken bentos. The tempuras were delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked. We also had the fried calamari and tuna roll with avocado. The calamari was so tender and flavorful! The tuna was also amazing. The waitress was very attentive, friendly, courteous and professional. If I can give her ten stars I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I would definitely come back again and again. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for awesome dining experience to try this place; you will get hooked!👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍

Everything was perfect. The truffle Halibut was ethereal. The atmosphere was so cozy and designed to make you apart of the restaurant. Our hostess, Anna, was SO kind too. 10/10. Fair price too.

One of the best sushi places ive been to. Great customer service and staff, not to mention the sushi is prepared perfectly and executed amazingly. The spicy tuna jalapeño is hands down the best temperature Ive had. When im back in town they will for sure have my business again!

Everything was delicious. I had a combo lunch with 5 pieces of nigiri sushi and a spicy tuna roll. Everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. I also had a signature house roll called "samurai burrito", which was creative and scrumptious. Highly recommend.
