The only reason im not giving the food 5 stars is that the menu is very confusing for a first timer. But the ramen is excellent.

The curry and Tonkotsu ramen here do not taste like any Japanese food I’ve had. It’s as if someone who’s never had Japanese food tried to make Japanese food. The curry was bewilderingly sweet and had no spice. Tonkotsu broth had no depth to it and the flavor was obscured. The service was great but unfortunately I’m looking for a restaurant in Elk Grove that reminds me of home… I will not be coming back.

I am guessing don't let the suburban strip mall look fool you too much?

The menu looks and seems all-encompassing for a Japanese-inspired restaurant. With Ramen, Curries, Katsu, and Izakaya the variety is inspiring.

Their flavors and offerings are good. The Ramen broth is decently rich, Curries are a touch sweet for my taste with not enough heat, but their Katsu is crispy and well seasoned.

There is a Lunch Special daily and it is portioned with economy in mind.

Ok seriously! Amazing miso, ramen, rolls, and salad for us adults and a great hamburger for my 4 year old (hambagu). We all wanted to eat more but couldn’t fit it! Every plate was made beautifully and I feel like this place is either underrated or needs more attention because the whole restaurant was empty! Such ?a great ? experience ? ?

Parking: Totally off the radar. Definitely recommend

Kid-friendliness: My 4 year old ate the edamame and hambagu. Didn’t have kid cups but he managed the water with a straw just fine.

Good food bogged down by pricing. Menu can be simplified, which would lower overall food cost and fire times.

Their signature Washoku ramen is very well balanced and delicious, but lacks the allure of simple food done right.

Washoku has the tastiest Japanese food around. So much fantastic food. Have been there many times now and from super tasty and deep flavored ramen (must try the Hokkaido version) to the best Japanese style curry, tasty skewers, sushi - and my favorite: Ironyaki Hambagu - amazing. Pork belly skewers are the best you'll have. Everything has so much flavor - umami everything. Tough location so PLEASE TRY THIS PLACE. WE NEED THEM TO SUCCEED!

My wife and I love this place, we come here at least once or twice a month. Their tonkastu curry is the best I've ever had... I'm not sure how they make it but it's different than any other I've had.

Just came in today for lunch and loved this newer restaurant. Delicious food especially the tuna crispy rice! Service was good, and the waitress was attentive and friendly. It was super quiet, and I was the only customer for a while, bit it deserves to be more popular!

Cute little Japanese restaurant in the quiet corner of the shopping center. Nice relaxing and quiet environment. Our server was so polite and attentive. She took our orders quickly and our food came out just as quick.We ordered the gochujang bao, spicy tuna crispy rice, california roll, chicken katsu curry and tantan curry.We loved the spicy tuna crispy rice! It was my favorite. The curry was so hot and comforting! We will definitely return to try more of the menu.We spent ~$40 per person because we each got an appetizer plus a California roll.
