" The ambiance is lovely and the service is commendable, but unfortunately, the food didn’t quite live up to the hype. I find that a number of the dishes felt too heavy-handed with salt, which was disappointing. However, I did appreciate the creativity of the chef with some innovative ideas. I’d recommend it if you’re looking to experience kaiseki for the first time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was hands down the best kaiseki experience I've had outside of Japan. Wa'z beautifully combines traditional Japanese culinary techniques with seasonal ingredients sourced thoughtfully. Every course was a work of art, and the dish descriptions from the chef elevated the experience even further. We felt welcomed and appreciated as guests, which only added to the enjoyment. Highly recommend for anyone seeking authentic Japanese cuisine in Seattle! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great service matched with incredible food! The chef engaged with us, sharing insights behind each dish, which added a wonderful personal touch to our meal. Every course was carefully crafted, though some of the portions felt petite. Regardless, I left impressed and filled with flavors. Definitely a place I will suggest to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal at Wa'z! I was captivated by the subtle flavors that danced on my palate throughout the kaiseki menu. The environment was tranquil, and the service felt personal and attentive. I believe the prices are reasonable considering the high quality of the ingredients. It felt special being able to talk with the chefs as they prepared the beautiful dishes right in front of us.

" Wa'z is a gem! We celebrated my partner's birthday here and it exceeded our expectations. Every course of the kaiseki was a culinary masterpiece. The staff was attentive and made the dining experience truly special by customizing some dishes to accommodate food allergies. The sushi was fresh, the flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was artful. The atmosphere felt intimate without being stuffy. Definitely planning a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

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.
