Since Derek's Chang's Koto closed, this has been the place to go for decent sushi in Baton Rouge. I've tried all of the sushi restaurants locally and, while Waka House doesn't have a view of the river, it does have the best sushi in town and it is always a quiet and peaceful place to eat. If you want to eat real sushi, eat it here, it's the best sushi in Baton Rouge. Such a nice peaceful restaurant to visit every time.

This is my favorite sushi in Baton Rouge! It doesn't have the glitz and glamour of, say, Tsunami's downtown. It's a small establishment in a strip that even has another sushi restaurant (s/o to Tiger Sushi's bento box special) in it. The helpings of non sushi items are large, and the sushi rolls themselves are on the large side too. There's traditional rolls alongside more creative ones, and the best selection of vegetable rolls I've ever seen- no need to order 3 avocado rolls for the vegetarian at the table!

Great fried rice, there are hidden specials not on the menu...just ask. I'm not a roll person though my wife is and she says theirs are the best.

Delicious! Small, quiet and clean. We loved the cara dynamite roll and the Picasso roll. Service was super fast.

Food:In general the food was amazing, salmon was fresh, tempura wasn't too oily, and the Hayden Roll was amazing. There was also a grilled Salmon Roll, but we weren't able to get pictures. The grilled Salmon Roll is a great alternative if you don't like raw Salmon. Will definitely have to give this place another try for the Spicy Bomb Roll and some other rolls.Service:Our server was really attentive, as well as being courteous and professional. We couldn't really tell it was her first day. Some questions weren't answered clearly but the chef was able to fill in the blanks thay she couldn't. Besides brushing up on the menu items a bit, everything else was amazing by her. Surroundings:The restaurant itself was pretty small. Its a nice little spot that was really clean. I think the biggest table was around 6 people, but if going with a party bigger than that, would definitely recommend calling beforehand. It is really great for a date night as its not too loud and crowded. We got there around 6:00 pm and it seemed to be parties of no greater than 3-4 people.

Always good, always friendly, small place but they definitely know what they're doing! Keep up the great work!

New favorite sushi house. Waka House on Sherwood.This place has been completely revamped and it has lots of unique menu items that you dont usually see everywhere else. Everything tastes super fresh and nothing has that hint of fishiness. The atmosphere is quite comfortable and intimate and the staff is always very nice.Pictured is the sushi lunch for $14.95 and it comes with a bowl of soup as well. The little tempura potato croquettes with corn make it worth visiting this place alone. Imagine mashed potato encased into a super crispy tempura shell....
