The service was prompt, and the owner even checked in on us personally, which made us feel valued. If looking for an authentic experience, Wafu of Japan does not disappoint. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at Wafu. The sushi was fantastic and tasted incredibly fresh. I loved the variety on their menu, especially the yellowtail and salmon rolls. The service was attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the evening. However, the small size of the restaurant can make it a bit cramped during peak hours, so I recommend making reservations. Overall, a great place to enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine!

Only drawback was the limited parking available. Still, I will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)
