" Dining at Wa'z was truly a profound experience. The attention to detail and the way each dish reflected the essence of the seasons was inspiring. The A5 Wagyu was perfectly cooked, melting in my mouth, and the accompanying sauces complemented it beautifully. Beyond just eating, it felt like a culinary journey through Japan. The sake pairings were a delightful touch that enhanced the flavors of each dish. I left feeling completely satisfied yet excited for my next visit, especially since the menu changes every month! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Wa'z for the first time and while I was impressed by the presentation, I found some dishes to be missing depth in flavor. It felt like they focused more on aesthetics than on how the components worked together on the palate. The service was polite but lagging during the meal. Overall, it was an interesting experience, but not one I would repeat soon because I expected more authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Wa'z last week, and it was an experience unlike any other. The kaiseki menu was not only beautifully presented but also delicious, with every ingredient tasting fresh and vibrant. The fact that the menu changes monthly adds an exciting element – I can't wait to return and see what the next season brings. Highly recommend opting for the sake pairing; it elevates the meal to another level. The atmosphere was intimate and inviting, making it perfect for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was a fantastic dining experience! The kaiseki meal was rich in flavor and I've never tasted anything like the miso soup they prepared. The attention given by the staff was also noteworthy; they really seemed to care about our experience. Highly recommend this place if you want to treat yourself to excellent Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Wa'z and was a bit let down. While the dishes were beautifully crafted and visually stunning, I found a couple of them to be overwhelmingly salty. It felt like they were trying too hard to create bold flavors that overshadowed the natural taste of the ingredients. The service was friendly, but it could be a bit slower when busy. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I expected more for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve visited Wa'z multiple times, and each experience has been unforgettable! The last time we went, they were featuring a fish that I had never tried before, which was sensational! The pairing recommendations were perfect, enhancing our experience. What keeps me returning is how each evening feels so uniquely tailored. Highly recommend for any food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our recent visit to Wa'z was unforgettable! The environment was cozy and intimate. Each dish in the kaiseki menu told a story and reflected the season perfectly. I loved how we could watch the chefs prepare everything right in front of us! The sake selection was impressive and matched well with our meal. I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciated the meticulous preparation that went into each dish. Truly a culinary adventure. " (*Curated Review*)
