About Waraku Japanese Restaurant

Waraku Japanese Restaurant is a family-owned gem with a huge menu filled with high-quality, authentic Japanese food. While some have complained about service, the small restaurant takes time to cook made-to-order dishes. The kitchen menu is highly recommended over sushi/sashimi, with standout items like tempura and various karaage options - the shiitake mushroom tempura is a must-try. The Tori karaage was not as good as the baby octopus karaage, and the Idako karaage was flavorful and chewy. The Takowasa, raw baby octopus with wasabi, was a unique dish worth trying. The grilled hamachi kama and katsu toji from the special menu are also delicious. However, the chirashi don was disappointing due to the lack of freshness in the fish. For dessert, the matcha cheesecake and ice cream have a strong matcha flavor but are quite sweet. Overall, Waraku Japanese Restaurant is a go-to spot for anyone looking for amazing Japanese food with a wide variety of options.
