The steak was decent but a bit chewy, though the flavor itself was solid and well-seasoned. It's an interesting concept and worth trying once if you're curious, but it's not something I'd go out of my way for. Overall, not bad, just nothing that really stands out or pulls you back for a repeat visit.

Started off with the tempura appetizer and it was ok. There were a couple pieces of shrimp along with a few pieces of fried vegetables. The batter was different than what I'm typically used to in Japan... The miso black cod was tiny and more of an appetizer. It was nicely seared on the side and I found the sauce a touch too overpowering... Staff was courteous and sweet. She checked up with us throughout the evening.

The sashimi salad was a bit of a miss, as there were only four slices of fish, and then some iceberg lettuce (!) that was underwhelming for the price paid. The beef negima, beef rolls, were decent, though sometimes the beef was a bit tough. The mains were a hit and miss; the tofu soondubu was the better of the two, with tofu that retained its heat well, nicely diced vegetables in the interior, and a decent flavoring in the hot soup. The rice was a good texture. The Nabe Yaki Udon had a soup that I didn't find super compelling; it seemed a bit artificial, but not enough complexity at the same time).

I ordered two rolls, the new rainbow roll and the new tiger roll as well as a tako nigiri. The new tiger roll is now one of my favorite sushi rolls ever. A harmonious combination of flavors between the sweet mango, the fatty tuna, the crunch of the asparagus and the earthiness of a thin slice of truffle makes this roll an experience to remember. Fast and friendly service and white tablecloth ambiance makes this a place to come back to while in town. I did two nights in a row

Out of all the places by her in Cambridge, she chose Waku W. Since they were on Uber Eats, it was easy to go for it because, honestly, we had no energy to drive anywhere, much less dine in. Before my daughter placed the order, I called Waku W. to make sure the broth was truly vegan and not made with pork or any other meat. Once I got the green light that the broth was completely vegan, she ordered 2 Vegetable Miso Ramen bowls. The ramen was exactly what we needed after a long trip. The broth was tasty and garlicky without overpowering the miso flavor and every sip was satisfying and the noodles were cooked perfectly with that yummy chew.

The interior has blue and red neon with mirrors that remind me of a Japanese karaoke bar. We were seated immediately and chose the bar so we could watch the kitchen in action. Service was attentive and friendly. It was hot out, so I ordered a Sapporo, which was refreshing, but be warned this is the BIG can, and it's a lot of beer. We tried the fried beef bao to start, which was better than I expected - they fried the bao and it was really tasty. For ramen, I had their signature ramen and the broth was kind of like a hybrid between tan tan (sesame) and tonkatsu (porky) with a bit of spice. It was pretty good, not too salty, but was lacking a bit of depth. I liked the bok choy but didn't realize it didn't come with an egg, so I'd add that next time. The katsu that came on the side had a good sauce but it was kind of dry. Would return to try other ramen bowls when I'm in the area again.

The absolute best was the boomer roll.. MUST try if you are a fan of mushrooms. Unlike any roll I've had before.
