" I did not enjoy my visit to Wakaba as much as I anticipated. The decor left something to be desired and felt dated. The sushi pieces were smaller than I expected and less flavorful than others I've tried in the area. However, staff was polite, and I did appreciate the effort, but I won’t be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

Plus, the owners are friendly and welcoming, making the experience all the better. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at Wakaba. The ambiance was simple yet cozy, perfect for a relaxed dinner. I ordered the tempura udon, and it was bursting with flavor. The service was friendly, though a bit slow as they were busy. Still, I felt well taken care of. I will return for those spicy rolls! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went here for a lunch date, the sushi was fresh and delicious. I appreciate that they have a large variety on the menu. The only downside was that we were sitting close to the entrance, and it was cold when people came in. But overall, very enjoyable! I'll be back. " (*Curated Review*)
