Mayerlin was the most helpful and friendly server in the world!! It’s very easy for servers to just point you to the most expensive items but she was very real with her suggestions and not one was bad! Very nice and very accommodating to my other two friends who didn’t speak Spanish but wanted to practice. Best restaurant experience I’ve had in a while.

Mayerlin was a great hostess, she provided wonderful sushi and drink recommendations, and was very patient with us. I enjoyed the atmosphere and speed of the service, not to mention the good quality.

We had our company holiday party here and the food, drinks, and ambiance was amazing. The service was good, slightly delayed towards the end, but Mireyna was sweet, attentive and kept everyone smiling.

This Saturday November 15th my partner and I decided to come down to vaka restaurant to celebrate my birthday (host was a 5/5 and waiter Cristian 5/5 )the bartenders suck we seat at the bar for about 20 min they looked over at us and ignored us had to get up twice to tell the host that we haven’t been served some random girl came and set next to us and she got full on attention the 2 bartenders were even fighting about who would give this girl her drink, I get it she must of been a regular but when you see a new client you want to give a 5/5 as well we drove and 1 and 30 min I post it many videos of this place and friends have been asking me where it is ill recommend because Cristian made it the best experience but if no one wouldn’t taken care of me like Cristian I wouldn’t recommend it or go back there ! Here’s the picture of the 2 Bartenders the woman with blonde and the guy on the other side of the register please teach your bartenders on how to be friendly and make the guest feel welcome at least if they’re not taking care of the guest to inform them and greet with a smile not just let the costumer be in the limbo and when a register comes in not make the new guest feel like sh***t(picture of bartenders on my google review)

This restaurant was reccomended for my wife and I's anniversary Dinner which made everything even more disappointing. Upon arrival we were maybe the 5th group in the whole restaurant. We waited almost an hour for our Sushi that we ordered just to be asked if we wanted to cancel becauae it was taking longer then expected. It was $14 for 5 wings and $14 for one drink. Worst service I've received in a very long time. None of the waitresses know good customer service either. Nobody looked happy employees and customers alike. Pretty sad we were going to spend a couple hundred dollars there and most of the things I originally asked for weren't available. Glad it was only $30 I gave to this Business. Much better businesses to spend your money don't come here.

My family and I recently had dinner at Vaka Restaurant, after a close friend highly recommended it. We had an amazing dining experience, with immense appreciation to manager, Alex and our server, Mireina. We spoke with Alex in advance of our visit, to inquire about the menu and allergen accommodations. Alex was personable, professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful, patient, courteous, kind and accommodating. He listened intently to our concerns and needs. He explained the menu and suggested items that would be safe for us to order. Alex took personal interest in our situation and made us feel like we were his only and most valued customers in the world. Alex defines the full package of what customers want, need, expect and deserve to achieve 100% satisfaction. To say Alex went above and beyond is an understatement. The chef was exceptionally cautious and meticulous when preparing our order. He made every effort to avoid cross contamination and keep our meal safe. Every dish served was perfectly prepared with indescribable flavor and presentation. Mireina was super sweet and always attentive, while checking on us throughout the evening to ensure that we were comfortable and content. Vaka was a whole vibe, with great atmosphere, dinner, drinks and music…10/10. Big up to Alex and his staff for well-coordinated team work and attaining the highest standard of exceptional service. We look forward to returning for another amazing and enjoyable dinner and time.

The service here is horrible I got a steak plate with rice, beans tostones and veggies and my wife got a mofongo plate, we also ordered 2 or the cool sushi’s and fried chicken dumplings. None of the sushi specified that there was pork in it . I also asked before ordering it and was told no that I would be all set . After waiting forever for our food we ordered they brought it out and there was ham in my sushi. I was told I would be made over with no pork …. The waitress barely checked on us and by the time it was time to go they tried to give me the sushi to go that was never brought out and on top of that I never got my chicken dumplings …. After I was shocked from the Bill . The total for my steak plate,my wife’s mofongo, plate one glass of sangria and a soda ,and one of the sushi’s that actually came out it was $160.00 .. wouldn’t come here again sadly
