" Waka House has been a staple for me since I moved to Baton Rouge. The sushi selection is fantastic, and I love the unique rolls they offer. They have a nice variety of options, including vegetarian. The service can range from exceptional to just okay, depending on who you get. I usually opt for takeout due to my busy work schedule, and the staff has always been accommodating. Overall, I think it's a wonderful restaurant and an essential part of this community! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Waka House recently. The quality of the food is undeniable; it's packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Especially enjoyed the dumplings and the spicy rolls. The service was polite, although a little slow—a minor hiccup in an otherwise fantastic experience. I highly recommend it for a casual yet delightful meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Waka House after hearing so much, and it didn’t disappoint! The sushi was fantastic; truly some of the best I've had outside of Japan. While the decor is lovely, I found the seating a bit cramped. The service was fine but could have been more attentive. It's definitely worth visiting for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Waka House after hearing great things for ages. I ordered their famous sushi rolls; they were good but didn't quite have the depth I was expecting. My friends had different dishes, and they seemed to enjoy theirs more than I did. I must admit the atmosphere is pleasant, and staff were polite. Not sure if I’d be returning soon, but it might deserve another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" Waka House has become my go-to restaurant for sushi! The quality is top-notch, and the staff always greet me with a smile. I especially love their signature rolls, which are bursting with flavor. The ambiance is relaxing and perfect for a casual dinner with friends. The prices are also quite reasonable for the quality you receive. Can't wait to return! " (*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*)
