Wakuda is currently CLOSED. This is a serious lack of respect toward customers. I made a reservation expecting to dine at an operating restaurant, only to find out upon arrival that it was closed. There are renovation works taking place in the building, yet no prior notice is provided. This information should be clearly and transparently communicated on your website and on Google Maps. Failing to do so wastes customers’ time and undermines trust. Fortunately, I found an excellent alternative nearby: Niku Ou. Outstanding food and a great overall experience — highly recommended. .

I gotta say it’s worth it. The staffs are friendly and very helpful. The atmosphere is cozy and modern. Good for a date night or family dinner. The food is delicious. The menu has the variety of food from sushi, sashimi, ShabuShabu hotpot etc. the drink menu also has cocktail, red wine, white wine etc. you have like a full options of food and drink. We got fresh oysters in ponzu sauce and salmon caviar. Salmon sashimi which is so freshh. The prawn fritters is a bomb. The sauce is tasty. Definitely come back!

The ambience was really nice, and more of a place to have a function with friends and family. There’s loud, lively, upbeat music playing, intimate booths, and you order via QR code, so there’s minimal interaction but hard to ask for recommendations. It’s a little expensive and we thought it was your standard Japanese food, with nothing too special taste wise. There’s pages and pages of options on their menu, so maybe we ordered the wrong things or went on an off day as they have really good google reviews. I liked the salmon carpaccio, how it was lightly seared and the sauce was nice with a subtle sweetness to it. The cooked seafood we got wasn’t that fresh- the soft shell crab was fishy and strong so it wasn’t our favourite, and the squid in the pasta was too rubbery. The fried items were good though, the mushroom fritter and gravy Mayo was a nice snack to have on the side and can’t go wrong with a seafood pancake. tried the - ▪️Salmon carpaccio - 6 slices of seared salmon with ponzu, Mayo, red onion and mixed herbs ($16.90) ▪️Soft shell crab roll - soft shell crab, avocado, root chips, served with spicy Mayo ($21.50) ▪️Salmon and caviar sushi - salmon sushi with salmon caviar ($15.90) ▪️Octopus pancake - Korean seafood pancakes with nanban sauce ($14.50) ▪️Squid Mentai Spaghetti - stir fried spaghetti with squid, Parmesan and mentai sauce ($16.90) ▪️Mushroom fritter with curry Mayo ($12)

An excellent hidden gem of a restaurant. The staff are super friendly, the atmosphere is great, and the food excellent. There's also a number of vegetarian-friendly options and many of the dishes also have gluten-free options as well. I definitely recommend giving the wagyu skewers a try. The booths give a very cozy vibe.
