I enjoyed eating there! Lovely staff and unique presentation and ensemble of ingredients. Most dishes were amazing. Portions were enough to feel satisfied. I prob will go back when they change the menu.

This is real Japanese Kaiseki cuisine at its highest level. Bravo to Chef Hiro and his team, both in the kitchen and in the dining room.

Such a lovely experience being at the counter watching Chef Hiro and his staff put together a wonderful meal.

Our experience here was fantastic. I’ve found myself a bit disappointed in tasting menus lately, but not so at wa’z. Excellent flavors and quality of food, gorgeous presentation, and timely and detailed service. I won’t exactly be a regular customer at this price point :) but would highly recommend for a high end kaiseiki experience.

Wa'z was a great experience! The order of the menu items didn't follow the menu so it was good to be suprised a bit. The items on the menu were certainly unique and tended to every bit of the palette. The service was top notch and everyone was extremely professional and courteous! When we visit Seattle again, we'll make the effort to attend Wa'z again.

Our experience at wa'z was transcendent. The staff the environment and above all the food were immaculate. If you have anything at all to celebrate in Seattle, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Though a very different style from other Omakase I had, I really appreciate the experience.

We have been twice for dinner and LOVE it. Everything is so delicious and meticulously prepared. I haven't had even a mediocre bite yet - all SO good. The service is wonderful, I love being able to watch the assembly of these gorgeous courses...each ingredient provides a subtle flavor addition that makes these dishes so special. The menu changes monthly and we will be back again next month!

Once again this was the most amazing dining experience. The food the service the ambience, all exceptional.
Amazing experience. Menu was priced a little higher than I saw online and easily racked up a high bill with drinks. So paid more than I had hoped to but it was a very unique experience and the quality and attention to the courses and service was outstanding

My sister claims these are some of the best bites she’s had in her life. Standouts include the uni sesame tofu, Ikura corn puree, and Wagyu (perfectly done). We visited from NYC, where we have tried a few Wagyu restaurants, and were much more impressed by the quality demonstrated here

They have namasake and shiro Koji sake! 🍶 Very hard to find outside of Japan. Dry aged Tuna was also fantastic and the uni was not too strong. Was also happy to see Kinmadai (Golden eye Snapper) come out in one of the dishes. It's one of my faves! They freshly grate the wasabi as well. Everything tastes so fresh and well balanced. Would eat here every month if I could.

The food met expectations; however, the service was atrocious. Our server, Linh, was extremely rude and condescending throughout the evening. I have a severe allergy to wasabi and made this explicitly clear when ordering. Despite this, my sushi arrived with wasabi. After I notified Linh and received a replacement—which she practically threw on the table—she told me, in an unnecessarily condescending tone, that I should note such allergies in the reservation.
When I expressed that her comment was inappropriate, she sarcastically asked if she should “bow in apology.” Such behavior is highly unprofessional and completely inappropriate for a fine dining establishment.
What made matters worse was that the very next dish also contained a significant amount of wasabi. At that point, we spoke directly with the head chef, who agreed to remove the mandatory 20% gratuity and comp our sake. This is not a mere case of a rude waiter, but a health hazard that should result in this incompetent waitress being fired. I will be sure to inform everyone in the company that I work for, as well as anyone who asks, of my experience.
To the head chef and owner, I strongly recommend removing the mandatory 20% gratuity. It leads to extremely complacent service .

The food was alright but you can definitely find better options for the same price. The biggest issue was the service - our server Linh single-handedly ruined what was supposed to be a special night out with my parents and my wife. I have never experienced such a rude, entitled waitress in my life. My brother has a wasabi allergy and while we didn't write a note when making the initial reservation, we told Linh when we were placing the orders. Despite this, my brother was served the chutoro and otoro nigiri pieces with wasabi. We understand that mistakes can happen (especially since his prior courses had wasabi omitted), but when we notified the waitress, she told us that we should have noted the allergy when making the initial reservation even before apologizing. Her tone was passive-aggressive, and she even asked if she wanted us to have her bow in apology and asked us if her apology was ‘$185 worth'. The worst part was that for the course that immediately followed, my brother was served ANOTHER dish with wasabi. I have never ever experienced such disgusting, rude, entitled service, much less from a fine dining establishment.
