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.

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.

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...
