Wako Japanese Restaurant

Half the tables were empty when we walked in. We had to wait at the door where at least 4 employees could see us (it’s a tiny dining room). After waiting 10+ mins we were told they were booked for the evening. The lady was very rude. I won’t be returning.. put a sign out so you don’t waste people’s time.

Pretty good but not one of the best omakases I’ve had

My partner took me here for a date night. We had the omakase. It was good, loved their presentation of their food. Their nigiri's were good, but we weren't blown away.

An amazing omakase experience in SF and reasonably priced. All the sushi was so fresh and paired well with the different flavors. Even their non-sushi dishes were wonderful and their ice dessert was amazing. Make a reservation because they’re very small and fill up quickly

Great omakase experience. It seems they’ve switched the menu format from ala carte to just two prefixe options. While I miss the old menu, the new format makes it easy to order. The jalapeño marinated tuna was one of the best sushi pieces I’ve had. My only suggestion would be to alternate pieces. They bring out two bites of the same fish and I felt back to back bites of mackerel and tuna to be a bit much.

Been to this restaurants many many times from 2019 until near the end of Covid-19. The location is ok, the seats are crowded (but manageable), the food is great. I did both dine-in and takeout (when the covid hit). I stopped going there as often when I realized the price of the same meal I ordered start going up and up. Later on I realized it's a national thing, not just this restaurant. This sort of unfairly (?) affect my evaluation toward this restaurant. Regardless, great memory! Thank you, Wako

The food is an experience worthy of the cost
