Truly a MasterClass in Sushi. As a comparison point I've been to some high end sushi stops in Japan and there are not many that come close to the expertise, quality, and class that is shown off.

When we attended Wayo Sushi, there was only one employee who was our chef and waiter. I am still beyond impressed with the speed and attentiveness he showed while there were other tables to attend to.

It's a small quiet shop, reservations are required but it makes a perfect date night.

Quality sushi at much more reasonable prices. A one-man show in a small but comforting place. Enjoyed the takeout last time and decided to reserve a table. Toro available! A couple of the mango rolls offer a nice kick. Will be back.

Wayo is our favorite sushi spot in the city. Besides having great sushi, it’s extremely unique. There are only a few tables, it’s reservation only and the chef doubles as the server and host. The prices are extremely fair especially for the quality of fish we’ve had there.

This restaurant needs to update their operating hours on google. Should not say you’re open if it’s take out only.

I wish this was specified on Google maps... You can only eat here if you set up a reservation. We showed up hoping this was a regular place to eat. While we looked for another place to eat outside the closets restaurant, a few more folks showed up thinking the same thing haha

Such a lovely little sushi place. It's a reservation only spot so please call ahead of time. It's well worth it.

tiny place, you will likely need reservations, was the best sushi I've ever had.

Hidden gem. I wish I could gate keep it but have to share it in case it may go out of business.

So the restaurant experience is quite unique. It's open only 2 hours a day (6-8 pm). It requires a reservation but don't be too worried. I called just one hour before the opening and got accepted.

Slow jazz music. Old paintings. Kind Japanese man my father's age is taking the order. Curious strangers are looking at us through the window but it doesn't disturb the magical atmosphere of peace; it only adds to it.

I've been to many restaurants in the U.S. But this was probably the first time it felt home
