Service was terrible and rushed. I brought a friend here for their birthday, it was also their first omakase experience. Upon making our reservation, their policy on Tock stated there’s a two hour seating limit. However as we were eating they were trying to kick us out within an hour of our dinner service. Although it was their last reservation slot for the day, don’t offer reservations that late if you don’t want to stay late.
Omakase was just below average. I felt like the price being charged didn’t reflect the quality and courses we received. We ordered a few additional menu items and nothing really stood out.
I don’t recommend this place.
Wako is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or treat yourself. Their omakase is among the best in the city. The ingredients are fresh and seasonal, and the fish is always fresh, delicious, and sourced from around the globe. The presentation is beautiful and thoughtful. It’s a wonderful restaurant in every way.
Completely blew us away!! I’ve been a few times before but the most recent visit was definitely amazing. All the fish was prepared to perfection and the fish was so fresh. Love the 2 options of uni available. The anago took us by surprised and it was amazing! The dessert was also a hitter. Loved that it wasn’t too sweet. Definitely one of our go to sushi places now!
First time having Omakase, and the service was incredible! Everyone was so positive and lovely and the chef was extremely excited and you could tell he loved his work. The food was delicious and beautifully made. I'm no expert since it was my first Omakase but I'm told that their price is very reasonable for what you get.
I’ll start off by saying the chef was very knowledgeable and it was a great experience to sit right upfront and have the tasting menu. The dish was well thought out with the order of sushi that you eat.
The ingredients itself are very fresh and pleasing to eat. Definitely the best sushi I’ve ever had. The only thing is, I wish the tasting menu was enough to fill you up. Atleast for me, I could’ve done with 3-4 more pieces. The tasting menu comes with 10.
I would definitely eat here again and recommend that you try it if you’re interested.
Masterful Omakase from Wako with excellent cuts of fish, helpful and attentive servers, and dishes that were very small yet piqued my curiosity. But was it worth it? I'll let you be the judge. For three people, the total ended up being ~$500 and we were only allowed to be in the restaurant for 1 hour.
We came for an anniversary and it was an great experience. We did the tasting menu ($98 for 10 pieces of sushi, each one better than the last). We also really liked the waygu sushi. Incredible attention to detail and really attentive service from Tomo (the chef) and the rest of the staff. Would strongly recommend
Amazing food, authentic and at the same time creative flavors and technique. Totally worth the start. The only reason why I gave Wako 4 stars is the cleanliness of the bathroom. Some may say that I'm being too picky but IMO when it comes to fine dining with a Michelin star badge it's fair to expect high standards throughout the experience and that part wasn't. The food was definitely up to the standard, it was hands down amazing.
