Food poisoning. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing and concerning experience. The food we were served was pre-cooked and reheated, which we noticed immediately. Within hours of eating, both my wife and I became violently ill and spent the entire night vomiting, which strongly suggests food poisoning. For a restaurant costing around $120 for a meal for two, basic food safety and freshness should be non-negotiable. This experience not only ruined our evening but also raised serious concerns about the restaurant’s food handling and storage practices. Food safety is fundamental, and based on our experience, this restaurant failed to meet that standard. I would strongly caution others before dining here.The only reason that i give 2 stars instead of 1 is because the staff are very friendly

Stopped in for first time on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Place was very quiet. Delicious food and excellent service. Wokano Pear 🍸 (cocktail) - tasty Pork Dumplings, Rockefeller Oysters - good but didn't blow me away. Shanghai Lo Mein (w/Beef) - so flavorful; beef was cooked perfectly. White Fish Filet w/Asparagus - fish was moist and veg still had nice crunch. MaPo Tofu - very good.
Women's Restroom- need to add hooks in the stalls to hang purse/coat. Clearly had removed and not sure why. ??

I’m very disappointed to share a bitter experience at this sushi bar. I invited a friend (someone I’m not very close to) for lunch here, hoping to enjoy a nice evening. Unfortunately, the service turned the whole experience sour.
After I paid the check, the server blatantly told me — in front of my guest — that I had left too small of a tip. I was shocked by the rudeness. When I calmly asked to speak to the supervisor, instead of apologizing, the supervisor actually supported the server and said we should add more from our own pockets to ensure everyone gets a fair share of tips.
I’ve lived in the U.S. for years and have never encountered anything like this. Tipping is a personal choice — sometimes people leave $100, other times $10. It’s not something that should be demanded or judged publicly, especially in front of others.
This was extremely embarrassing and unprofessional. Sadly, this one incident overshadowed the entire dining experience. I will not be returning, and I don’t recommend this place to others who value respectful service.

Used to really enjoy going here with a decent size party, always was easy and nice, FOR what ever the reason is while trying to make a reservation this time they must of just changed the rules stating 35$ plus for each individual to eat along with 200$ deposit. So ridiculous , done this multiple times with same people was our spot to go now we will take our business elsewhere!

Got to restaurant at 6:20 for happy hour waited almost 10 minutes to be seated and another 10 minutes for the waiter We ordered happy hour drinks but when bill arrived, they refused us the happy hour price because the waiter put in our order after 6:30 even though we ordered before deadline
Manager, short Asian man with dark hair stormed out of restaurant and handed me the bill and said this is your and I'm not changing it. He refused to change the price even though he said he seen us standing there waiting to be seated
Do not recommend this place and based on many poor reviews, this manager needs to be fired !!!!
I ordered food over the phone was supoose to get the lunch special was told I couldn't get the lunch special over the phone because it was 3pm I informed the young lady that it wasn't 3pm yet. She offered to throw in the salad free isn't that already included? I get there and again voice my dissatisfaction that I couldn't order the lunch special even though i called before 3. The manager wanted to offer the lunch special but wanted me to wait additional time while I was on my lunch. I should've been given what was prepared at the lunch special price since it was their error to begin with never eating there again and this after I've been a customer of theirs since early 2000s

Superior customer service. Our waiter Ezana was amazing! He made recommendations for my husband and I as if he knew our food preferences. And he was spot on for both of us. I thought we were at a fine dining establishment by the level of service he delivered. The food was fresh and tasty, but the service was even better! Thank you Ezana for a 5 star experience. We will be repeat customers of Wokcano.

Sushi was good, but honestly, nothing note worthy about it. The hot dishes were awesome. I'll go back for those

Our server Sergio was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we were seated, they were warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. They checked in just the right amount—never hovering, but always available when needed. They made great menu recommendations, kept our drinks full, and handled special requests with a smile.
