Friendly, easy, quick sushi party tray order. Reasonable and good! The interior was a pleasant surprise and looking forward to returning and trying their big menu.

I usually order takeout ever since lockdown days. Food and takeout presentation is always consistently great quality. This was my first time dining in, and I was pleasantly surprised at how even fancier the presentation of the food is, compared to the casual aura of the dining area. Overall, good bang for your buck, and one of the better sushi options in the area.

Food is great. We always order to take away, but they have dining options too.

When it comes to sushi, I am super picky (had a bad experience once...never again lol) I just ordered from Wajo and the salmon avocado roll was perfect. It was so fresh, I should’ve ordered two 🤦🏽♀️. It’s been a few years since I last ordered, but I feel the quality has really improved. This might just be my new go-to spot.
Everything was so fresh and tasty 😍

I tried a wide spread of appetizers and sushi rolls recently at Wajo Sushi. Everything was delicious and the service was top notch.
Appetizer - I would highly recommend the Cream cheese wontons and the Jalapeno bombs.
Rolls - I would recommend the Julia roll and the Cheese crunch special. The salmon that is charred on the Julia roll gives it a nice smoky taste that is very unique. The cheese crunch contains a mango that surprising works really well with the cheese texture.

Had lunch with some friends at Wajo Sushi before a road trip and we started off strong with the crab rangoon which came with a sweet and spicy gochujangy sauce and my favorite: the crispy jalapeno bomb.
Then the rolls came out presented beautifully and blew our minds. The Julia roll had smoky seared salmon topped with crab and was my favorite. We also ordered the cheese crunch which was intriguingly topped with cheeto dust and irresistable. The salmon, eel, and all the fish tasted fresh and delicious and the service from the owners themselves was delightful as well. Can't wait to come back when I have the chance!

For reference: I did order this through uber eats so that may have affected my experience.
I ordered a bubble tea, rose deluxe roll, and miso soup for dinner tonight. Unfortunately the rose deluxe roll which was almost $25 came without crunch. It was disappointing to pay that much for a roll and not have it made correctly.
The miso soup was a very small portion for almost $4. I got 3 pieces of seaweed and 3 of the tiniest tofu pieces I’ve ever seen. It looks like they just cut 1 normal sized tofu into 3 pieces? The to-go container was not even full to the top. I got about 3/4 of the cup. I’m a bit confused why I read so many reviews saying it was the best miso soup they’ve ever had. It is just regular miso soup.
Canned bubble tea is not a great idea as the tapioca balls are not good inside. Their texture is probably what you could imagine in a canned drink- rubbery and hard. (Do not have any expectations that this will be like a typical bubble tea).
Anyways, I think the miso soup drawing was sweet but I think I’d just go for something like the regular salmon crunch next time.
One plus is that the salmon was very fresh! I’d be willing to give it another chance. Just seems like they give you very little for the high prices.

Wajo Sushi is a real treasure. The sushi is so fresh and well crafted not to mention delicious. The Godzilla deluxe roll is amazing and a real standout in the flavor and texture categories! We had three different rolls and the spicy wings and all of it was fantastic and super tasty!
The staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is clean and pleasant. We've been here twice now and are so grateful to have found it!

I got out of work late and discovered this place was still open. The menu was great and they answered all of my questions. The food was delicious and the quality was good. I will definitely come back here if I'm in town or close by.
