Great quality salmon, so good that it felt like butter melting in my mouth. The samurai burrito was delicious. My only “but” would be the seaweed of the rolls was hard. Service and attention was really good.
Incredibly fresh fish with generous portions.
The classic roles are perfect but even better than those are there unique roles. They balance the flavors really well while also have a nice texture, which is hard to do with sushi!
Highly recommend for date night.
Also, service was very incredibly good and really fast!!
We’ve been here for Christmas Eve party for our first time. Second time is my wife’s birthday. Very fast, friendly, and professional service. Super fresh and tasty 🍱 food. The restaurant is kind of small so I recommend taking a reservation before coming. Thank you for the surprise birthday-ice cream as well.
We had a great time, highly recommended we will come back again.
Very friendly staff.
Every dish we took was tasty.
We ate types of sushi we have never eaten before which was quite cool.
We came in for a second visit - just as amazing as the first.
We also tied the bento box - which was quite nice.
Had lunch. Service was good. Very attentive staff which had great recommendations on what to try. Had the carpaccio with salmon and yellowtail - salmon was delicious. Had the Samurai handroll and the sexy roll. Enjoyed the Samurai roll. The sexy roll was interesting- alot of crab on that one. Also the yellowtail roll was interesting. King salmon sushi - friend liked it. Enjoyed the crab nugget and would recommend - crab in a shitake mushroom which tempura fried and has some shitito peppers. Had the red bean ice cream and matcha with the tempura fried banana. Red bean was sweet but not too sweet. I really liked the fried banana.
Parking is very limited in this area so carpooling is best.

Good quality, intimate environment, authentic, but doesn't stand out, and quite pricey.
Order:
Kanpachi Roll (2pieces)
Samurai Burrito Roll
Teriyaki Chicken
Miso Soup
Generally positive experience. Food was good quality and authentic. Apparently they hand prepare their miso soup. Interestingly, their miso had a bit of noodles in them. That's a first for me. Didn't notice any seaweed or tofu, but maybe it's a different style.
Kanpachi Roll: Simple, fresh, good quality
Samurai Burrito Roll: Their most popular item was pretty filling. Wrapped in lots of rice, and good presentation. Nothing particularly noteworthy. An Americanized roll.
Teriyaki chicken: a small bowl of rice and a plate of brown meat chicken with teriyaki sauce and cabbage. Again nothing particularly noteworthy, didn't stand out and actually underwhelming compared to other teriyaki chicken I've had. It doesn't come with a crispy skin that's fried and adds texture. That's my personal preference when it comes to teriyaki chicken.
Beer: Big bottle of Kirin malt beer. Can't go wrong with Japanese beer.
Environment: Intimate and authentic. You will hear Japanese being spoken by the staff and they have an izakaya style set up where you can sit at a bar and watch the food be made in front of your eyes.
Overall 8/10 would recommend.
Next time I'll try the bento box.
We stumbled upon this place when going to the store. The staff is very friendly and patient.
I ordered the tuna bowl and it was really tasty. The only odd thing was that they add noodles to the miso soup they give with the order.
I would come back here for some good sushi!
Excellent food. Excellent tea. Excellent, friendly service. Loved the tempura udon - the broth was flavorful, the tempura shrimp and vegetables were light and crispy, and the udon was perfectly, satisfyingly chewy. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Probably the best bowl of udon I've ever had.
Wow, that’s pretty much all I’m able to say. “Hole in the wall” type feel to it and authentic. Everything I had was more than fresh and tasted delicious. Highly recommend Wafu.
Delicious fresh sushi. It shares a parking lot with a gas station which kind of threw us off at first but the sushi and service was excellent. And cute outdoor table section.
