Best izakaya I’ve been to outside of Japan, love this place.
Well. I had high hopes for this place.
Multiple dishes I ordered (mushroom and potato wedges) were really salty.
Also, the chicken teriyaki were like boneless wings, and the veggies served with it were cooked but cold. And I had to order rice.

Wakuwaku is a lively Japanese restaurant situated in Industry City, Brooklyn. The restaurant features a variety of dishes including sushi, miso soup, salmon teriyaki, and saki flights, with a focus on fresh fish and many skewer options. Customers often enjoy the robata and chicken karaage, which are praised for their freshness and great taste. The atmosphere is energetic and family-friendly, offering counter and bar seating, high chairs, and a cute kids menu. Some reviews mention that service can be slow, especially during busy times, with wait times for payment and plate clearing exceeding 20 minutes, and occasionally some orders may be out of stock. Prices for yakitori skewers are on the higher side, but the high quality of ingredients makes the experience worthwhile. The restaurant's hours can be somewhat unusual, which may make it difficult for some guests to visit comfortably. Despite occasional service issues and limited hours, Wakuwaku remains a good spot for Japanese cuisine in a vibrant setting, perfect for bringing friends and enjoying great food.
