In short, too heavy handed with the mayo.

We decided to try Wave given the good ratings and living in the delivery zone. The photos on the website made everything look amazing, but flavor wise, it failed to deliver.

We ordered the Spicy Bluefin, Yuzu Kosho Hamachi, and the Wave rolls. I was expecting at least the Spicy Bluefin to be spicy, but nothing packed heat. Honestly, I found all the flavors to fall rather flat. The other annoyance was...

Great spot. The shishito peppers were legit—perfectly blistered and packed with flavor. Sushi was high quality, and the cocktails were on point. Chill vibe that works whether you’re out with friends or on a date. Service is always solid—friendly and welcoming every time.

Food was great. The chicken bento box was phenomenal, so was the dragon roll. Service was not great, had to get up a couple times to go find my waitress. However, they ended up giving me 50% off of the two bento boxes me and my girl ordered when we got the check so that definitely made up for it. Got the vibe that service is either a hit or miss here, but I’d def recommend going for the food.
