We come here every month for the delicious skewers and gyumaki. The chicken skin and sasami ume are our top favorites. Wintertime, nabeyaki warms our soul! It's in a convenient spot where we can get Sunday lunch then grocery shop at sunrise Mart.
They have a great selection of fish and so many skewer options for everyone. I miss Japanese izakaya food and WakuWaku always delivers the best dishes to relieve my nostalgia. I look forward to tasting new and amazing food the creative chefs make as well as the skewers that go great with their exclusive list of sake and cocktails/beer. It's a great place to bring friends, eat sweets and drink!
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. They have high chairs and an adorable kids menu option.
The delightful freshness of the ingredients truly elevated each dish. The flavors were a harmonious blend, creating a memorable dining experience. The ambiance enhanced the overall enjoyment of the meal. It was a pleasure to savor such expertly prepared food.
I went here long time ago. A pretty chill izakaya place around Japan Village.
Overall it was great but slightly pricy. I’ll say just simply get want you like!

Incredible local place with absolutely delicious food. Everything we’ve tried is scrumptious, and the staff and atmosphere is lovely. Couldn’t ask for a better nearby Japanese restaurant.

Prices are really high for the food offered. Service is slow. I have never been to a restaurant in which one guest receives his plate and the other guest receives it 40 minutes after. I ordered a platter of sashimi for 22usd which consisted of 8 pieces of fish of medium quality. Well not bad but nothing justifies the price range, not the service, nor the portions, nor the atmosphere.

We love this place having eaten here no less than 10 times. We like not having to fight for seats in the food court outside. This restaurant is so serene and comfortable. The service is always attentive. Everyone is so polite. We have eaten here both on a random weekday and on weekends. We also ordered a bento box for take out once and the food was still tasty at home as it was at the restaurant.
We really haven’t had anything bad. We like the edamame, yakitori, chicken teriyaki, pork belly buns, and nabeyaki udon. Everything was delicious.

Didn’t go to the restaurant, I went to drink at the bar, the waiter James was attentive and cool. He was talking to us about anime since we were in town for the One Piece Symphony. He also spoke to us about Japanese Whiskey and such. He recommended a Yuzu Tom Collins I think, it was good.
Ate here yesterday and even though there were 2 other tables besides ours when we sat down, our food took 50 minutes to arrive, after starting to ask when it would arrive after waiting 30 minutes. The waiter said it was busy and our dishes were hard to prepare.. though we ordered sashimi and Ramen. He was gruff with attitude from beginning to end. Our bill was almost $100. The food was tasteless, and not worth the nearly hour wait or price. Avoid! Wish we ate at the food court which Jason much tastier options like curry udon and Japanese fried chicken, which would've been much cheaper and quicker! Also the 'ambiance' here like the food was nothing special. Mediocre is their standard they are aiming for across the board. Hope a better restaurant takes this space or a better owner/manager.

Came during slow period. Still took 50 min for food, sushi, which doesn't usually take that long. Mediocre food, rude waiter. Don't come here unless you want to overpay and wait 1 hr for your food. Not sure why it takes so long..

Portions were way too small for the price. wasn't very clean and the frying oil smelled old. lunch specials or happy hour pricing aren't appealing at all. this place doesn't make sense business wise
