This is a cozy, picturesque restaurant that has some private booth seating. The presentation of the plates was nice, and the food delicious. We attended for lunch, when it was not crowded, but I would not be surprised if it stays busy at night.

Great place with fresh, well made sushi. I have never had red snapper on/in a roll and the Indian Summer roll did not disappoint!

Usually this place is really good and I'd give 5 stars, but we tried to go here the other night with only about a half filled parking lot and the owners and waitress was VERY rude to us for simply walking in the door when they were busy. They basically yelled at us "it'll be at least 30 minutes!!!!!" (At least 3 people who worked there yelled that.) And when we pleasantly said okay and sat down, they glared at us the whole time, so after about 10 minutes, we left. It's just disappointing because every time I have gone, it has been a dead place, and I always tell people to come here. Because the food is excellent! But I see they cannot handle even a slight crowd. Won't be going back, very poor experience.

The service was excellent. We liked our food. The sushi was very tasty. When I return to Springfield, I will consider eating here again.Wheelchair accessibility: This seemed fairly friendly except no automatic doors.

Second time at Wayo. The server was very friendly and understanding.The food on the other hand was nowhere near the quality of the first time. Although the meat on the bulgogi was very tender, the overall meal was fairly bland. The sushi roll had a texture that is hard to explain. It was like a paste instead of cooked rice. For the price of what you're getting, I'm a little disappointed that crab rolls are made with imitation crab (pollock) and not actual crab. Unfortunately for my wife, this experience makes it her only visit as she won't be going back. As for me, considering the previous experience was so great; it's going to be tough to consider spending the high price of Wayo to find out if it was just a one time occurance.

This place is awesome! Smaller restaurant and good seating. We got placed in one of the booths which has high walls and makes you feel like you have a private room, very nice. Then the waitress was super friendly and helpful for our first visit here. Top all that off with really good sushi and it was a perfect date night for my wife and I.
