" Wow, Waka House! This place is a hidden treasure in Baton Rouge! The sushi they serve is of exceptional quality—everything tasted incredibly fresh. I was particularly impressed by their homemade sauces. The only drawback was a bit of a wait during busy hours, but honestly, the food was well worth it. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been a regular at Waka House for years. The sushi is consistently high-quality, and the variety keeps me coming back. The teriyaki salmon is another standout dish that I recommend to anyone. However, it can get quite crowded, which sometimes translates to slower service. I often order takeout, which is fast, but still, dining in can be a mixed bag depending on the time of day. Overall, I appreciate their dedication to freshness and flavor! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience overall at Waka House. The food was not only delicious but also cooked with a lot of care. I particularly enjoyed the dumplings—cooked perfectly with a nice crisp. The wait staff were friendly, but the wait for food was a bit longer than I’d prefer during busy hours. However, I left feeling satisfied and happy with my meal. I'll definitely return to explore more of their menu soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Waka House is a hidden gem! I usually crave sushi on weekends, and this place never disappoints. My favorite dish here has to be the Tokutoku set—it’s a delightful assortment that always satisfies my palate. I love the cozy, inviting atmosphere; it feels like home. The staff have generally been friendly, but I've noticed some variability in service speed during busier times. Still, I’ll continue to come back every chance I get! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Waka House after all the recommendations. The sushi definitely didn't disappoint; it was fresh and delicious. However, I found the service to be lacking. We had to wait a long time for our orders to arrive, and our server seemed distracted. Still, the food makes it worth another visit. Overall, a solid dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many dishes at Waka House, and I can confidently say that their quality is consistently high. The sushi rolls are my favorite, especially when paired with their house sauce. However, service can be hit or miss. During my last visit, I was ignored for a bit which was disappointing. Despite that, I still think this place has exceptional food and a charming atmosphere that keeps drawing me back. It’s a great family-friendly spot as well. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many sushi places across the country, Waka House ranks among the best I've encountered. The freshness of the fish and the depth of flavors in every roll is remarkable. Every visit feels special, whether I’m dining alone or with friends. The only downside has been sporadically slower service, but once you try the food, you’ll likely forgive them. I recommend the spicy tuna roll and the beef donburi! " (*Curated Review*)
