    Chicken tacos
    Melanie H.

    I want to start by saying the food is excellent. Hands down the best Mexican food we've had in this area so far. The chicken is moist and well seasoned, and the tortillas are delicious. We ordered chicken tacos, a chicken burrito, and a chicken quesadilla. The quesadilla wasn't made in the same way we've had it in the past, but still really good. It resembles an extra large taco. I gave 4 starts because if you're a fist time customer the ordering/payment process is pretty confusing. The restaurant is connected to a small market, and you pay for your food after you eat. The restaurant itself doesn't offer beverages so we thought we paid for the drinks on the market side, which we did while we waited for our food. When it came to paying for our meal they tried to charge us again for our drinks so we had to explain that they were already paid for. They give you a ticket on the restaurant side, then you pay on the market side. We had to then remind the cashier on the market side that we already paid for them. I would highly recommend just getting your drinks and paying for everything at the end. There were several customers who were as confused as we were. Overall we were happy with our meal, and I'm sure we'll return soon.

    Steak tacos, chicken tacos

    A must-try in PTC! If getting takeout, I recommend calling ahead (you pick up and pay at the store checkout counter). If dining in, order where the menu is, then go back to pick up your ticket after you eat and take that to the store counter to pay! Service: 10/10 Vibe: N/A Steak tacos: 9/10 Chicken tacos: 8/10 Beef empanada: 10/10 Overall: 9.25/10 (4.625/5)

    Had to call the police on the aggressive manager! Horrible experience. If your are not Mexican BEWARE (other reviewers have noted the same). My family frequents this restaurant often. Unfortunately today the food we received contained spoiled food that smelled rancid. The manager refused to refund us for the food after acknowledging it had a spoiled smell. When my wife attempted to return the food, the manager violently snatched the food away from her and through it in the trash and floor and told her that she would not refund the money. When the police arrived we were able to get half of our money back.

    Back in April 2020, when COVID-19 restrictions had just taken hold in America, my wife walked from…read moreour home in Atlantic Station to nearby Wagaya Japanese restaurant to pick up takeout for dinner. Due to the pandemic, indoor dining at restaurants was closed. On her way home, she noticed that sister restaurant Chirori next door (https://www.yelp.com/biz/chirori-yakitori-and-kushikatsu-atlanta) had converted into a Japanese grocery store: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/wagaya-japanese-groceries-atlanta-2?select=OJdGMHY4IZsMeQWEhGzmsw&userid=j14WgRoU_-2ZE1aw1dXrJg. She stopped in, ran into owner/acquaintance Takashi Otsuka, and purchased some items. Well into its fourth year in business, Wagaya Grocery Store is still kicking. I believe this store was a direct result of the pandemic. I thought its existence might be temporary; for example, it would only be around until restrictions were lifted and dine-in was back in full force. Well, it looks like this store is here to stay. A while back, it moved into a hidden space downstairs, on the same level as Trio Custom Clothiers: https://www.yelp.com/biz/trio-custom-clothiers-atlanta-5. As a regular customer at all of these businesses for many years now, I remember when this space used to be storage for Trio and/or other businesses at this property (if I recall correctly) as well as, at one point, a dance studio - the Burke Connolly Academy of Irish Dance. I highly recommend Trio for custom suits and tuxes, by the way. This is a great, fun little store for Japanese and other Asian food and drink. It's convenient for those living/working in Atlantic Station, Home Park, and Georgia Tech, as well as the wider Midtown and Westside neighborhoods. These parts of Atlanta are Japanese/Asian grocery deserts. Wagaya Grocery Store can save you a trip to Tomato Japanese Grocery Store in Marietta or Norcross, or H Mart or Buford Highway Farmers Market in Doraville. This is nowhere near the size of those stores and the prices are understandably a bit higher, but this place still has plenty to offer and it works in a pinch. For example, I've come here for their house brand kimchi as opposed to driving to Costco or H Mart. It's good. It was $5.49 per pound last time I bought it, with a small container typically costing less than $5. They have different kinds too. My wife and I have purchased an assortment of items here including Alfort Mini Chocolates, Imuraya Frozen Wafer Sandwiches in different flavors (e.g., matcha, strawberry), Kracie Popin' Cookin' Tanoshii Sushi DIY candy for kids (we got those for my nieces), bags of Kit Kat wafers in unique flavors (e.g., milk tea, melon; $13.99 each), and soy milk daifukumochi ($2.49 each). I've also gotten various drinks here, from Pocari Sweat sports drinks ($3.99 per bottle) and Kimono brand sparkling Yuzu ($4.49 per bottle) to Calpico in different flavors (e.g., melon; $3.99 per bottle) and Korean Binggrae Banana-flavored boxed milk drinks ($1.99 each). Overall, there's a very nice variety of Japanese snacks, candy, drinks, condiments, frozen treats, etc. I will say this is not the best place to buy some products, like drinks and ramen, in bulk since most of what they sell is in singles and not in packs/boxes. It's less economic. However, this place is perfect for things like condiments (e.g., Kewpie mayo, Korean BBQ sauce, ponzu sauce) and special produce (e.g., certain types of mushrooms and greens, fresh local yuzu $3.99 each). In addition to produce, they have everything you need to make basic sushi including fresh raw fish, roe (masago and ikura), and pickled ginger and wasabi; ingredients for nabemono, like shabu-shabu and sukiyaki (Japanese hot pot), including thin-sliced beef brisket ($18.50 per pound), ribeye ($22.50 per pound), and pork belly ($17.50 per pound); and even different types of broth -- ramen shoyu, udon/soba, spicy curry. Also, they have a fridge with a decent selection of sake and wine which, for some reason, must be ordered using a phone by scanning a QR code on the fridge door. The beer you can buy same as everything else. The store has a cute, amusing atmosphere to it, befitting of Japanese culture. Everything from the colorful canned drinks with anime characters on them to details like little foldable instructions on "How to Cook Okonomiyaki" just really add charm to the place. Service is excellent from manager Chi to employee Tim. They're really friendly. I was curious about the demand in this area for this type of store and they told me they really had to fine-tune the inventory levels so they didn't have a lot of product expiring on them. I believe it. Like some things I've had to do at my job, it sounds like more of an art than a science. Chi told me she goes to Georgia Tech regularly to sell groceries from Wagaya Grocery Store too, on certain days near the Student Center. The neighborhood is lucky to have this place.

    Everything was great…read more Stopped in for an early dinner on a Friday. We were seated quickly and our server got our drink order. It appeared that the single bartender was overwhelmed as our drink order took longer than it should have, but we finally got our drinks. The chips and salsa were better than many other Mexican restaurants. Our food arrived quickly and looked great. Everything had great flavor. The beans that came with my meal were outstanding. We will return.

    Met up with a group of friends for food and refreshments…read more I was eager to try this place because it is a different style all together of the other restaurant in the family. 1 food did not disappoint. Knowing this family of restaurants and their culinary inspired gastro treats, I wasn't sure what to expect.. It is challenge innovate Mexican while also not bastardized favorites. 2 I didn't try any of the specialty cocktails but definitely will look next time. Now that I know the kind of delectable creations this group makes, worth experimenting!. 3 It wasn't a 5* experience because of the service. I think our waiter was brand new to being a waiter. He wasn't engaging, attentive, or accomodating. I arrived a few minutes after the rest. They had put orders in... The waiter came to the table several times bringing napkins or another menu... Ignoring me and my thirst. Once I got served I was better. 4 But then when I ordered food to go to eat for dinner at home.... He charged a 20% tip... Saying it was the group service tax. I protested that wasn't fair or right. I paid for my drink separately with the 20% and everybody else had food there and actually had service. He had forgotten to put in my to-go order so I actually had to order and wait until after everybody had left and they had cleared the table to get my to-go order and he still charged me 20% to to go dinners. His excuse was that it was the computer and there was nothing he could do about it. I CALL BS ... Somebody who actually cared about creating a good service experience for a large group, particularly ones that many of them had never been there before. Would not arbitrarily charge 20% on it to go burrito, And not even trying to get a credit off of it to the manager. The more I think about it, the more I think I should just give him three stars.
