The absolute best underrated sushi place in the area. The sweetest lovely woman runs the place, very friendly and traditional. Food is fantastic, and cheaper than other sushi places in the area. She sometimes can be the only one working so please be patient, support small businesses ?

Somehow all our rolls were wet. I have never experienced that before. They were also bland. The service was fine. The decor came straight out of Saved By the Bell which was unexpected but seemed dated. I really was really hoping Zak Morris would walk out with a brick phone.

It’s pretty good. Most of the rolls seem to have the seaweed on the outside and we prefer rolls with rice on the outside so that’s an us thing. The miso soup is some of the best around I’d say.

Was unsure of how good this would be (strip mall restaurants aren’t always great)…but truly such a great experience. It was a bit quiet inside, but we made ourselves at home and decided to try. The food was really good - we got sushi, tempura, and teriyaki chicken. I got the Oyako Udon and it was great. Highly recommend.

Wakaba has the best spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls! They are tucked into a corner of a strip mall and have been there for years, but the quality is superb. The tuna basically melts in your mouth, they have an awesome spicy Mayo, and the owners/workers are super nice always!

I came across to try the sushi bento for lunch it was not the best tempura shrimp chicken teriyaki I rather go for Panda Express although they are under staff no water when serving you need to ask and wait only one older woman who is serving overall I can’t say if I want to recommend this place it was nice to try for lunch but for me I rather go for the real Japanese restaurant in town

The absolute best!

It was disgusting. The calamari was fake it was so chewy. The butter asparagus was also so disgusting. Tasted like butter was just melted in there. Like microwaved.

Vegetarian options: Bad food
