GIRLS DINNER WITH DAD ADVENTURE!!!…read more Me and my two girls tried Wakame Sushi and Hibachi for dinner tonight. Newer place in Auburndale with a nice interior aesthetic or ambiance. Modern, but similar to most Sushi places of this level. We started with ordering our drinks. The server was definitely young and new to being a server. Not a complaint, just not at a high level of service knowledge as of yet. I asked for no ice in my Mt Dew 3 times and she still brought it with ice. She was very friendly, pleasant and attentive. She just needs to work on her listening to a customer and following through with the request. I'm sure she will get better with time. I say this b/c she also forgot the soup for the table next to us that ordered the hibachi. We then ordered our food. 1 chicken yakisoba, 1 Philadelphia roll add cream cheese, 1 clear soup, 1 Cold Maki roll & to finish an app of chicken Tempura!!! Check out my pics of the menu for details. The chicken yakisoba had very little sauce which resulted in zero flavor. The portion size was nice, just wished there was more flavor and more sauce would have helped that. It was very dry and bland. The Philly roll was good exactly what it was supposed to be and fresh!!! All the Sushi was super fresh. The clear soup was bland and tasted a little in the watery side. Not much flavor to it. The Cold Maki roll was good, but for 15.50 I felt I could have made this at home for all 5 of us at around 30$, but it was good and I did enjoy it, just not the price. At 12$ this would be a better Food to Value ratio. The Chicken Tempura app had the best Food to Value ratio at 7.50 for 3 pieces of perfectly tempura cooked chicken, 1 broccoli, 1 slice sweet potato & zucchini, 1 mushroom and of course the tempura onion ring. I enjoyed this the most out of everything we had!!! I would definitely go back, but I would definitely order other items to try and only reorder the Tempura!!! I will update my review next time we go, but for now it's a 3 Star place to us!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!!

The food was very good. Our first time there and fun in a group to share and enjoy time together!…read moreService was also very good! Our server kept our glasses full & food came out hot and steamy. Ambience was also good. We were a party of 7 celebrating a birthday, we had a good table that allowed us to talk and enjoy without being too close to other diners. I forgot to take pics so can't review food per plate so let me just say my favs. Their wings were all delicious, the potato salad was over the top delish and I'm trying to figure out recipe! The ones at our table that got ramen liked it. The shrimp was good I heard, and the fried rice was delish. The only thing not loved by all was the steak skewers. Not sure why cuz I was busy with eating other things.

The decor in here is so fun and playful. Every time I walk in I'm always greeted and help fast…read more As I am seated I am asked promptly what my beverage will be and if I needed any help that it is no bother to ask. I loved how the customer service here was very helpful. The rolls are priced great, my spicy tuna was $7.95 and the special rolls are between $13-$15 so not bad at all and they were all filling! I ate two rolls and was satisfied. I love it here at night the ambiance is low lighting and nice for dates or friends to talk. The habachi is also well price for everything that comes on the plate. My favorite thing here is the boba tea taro flavor. This place is small and Tucked away so don't miss it!

After being stuck in traffic for an hour trying to get to the hotel I opted for a quick stop and…read morethis place came up. It I on the side of a mall area. Parking is out front or on the see around behind. There is a patio if you want to sit outside and a trim isn't brewing. Decor is clean typical small Japanese strip mall restaurant. Service was also impeccable. Seated immediately and my water glass as kept full. Menu is rather large but tonight I was on. Mission for rolls. Thank goodness there are pix in the menu and I picked two that not only looked good but sounded great. They were delicious. The flavors blended together nicely. Mission accomplished.

Again and again this place and his bartender surprise us... nice, cozy, with great food option is…read morealways a great option to visit. Korean fried chicken, pork belly and ask the sushi options makes this place a must go...

A much disappointing and different experience than Baldwin Park which is nearly perfect. I arrived…read morewhen the restaurant was just opening and the hostess said she didn't have any tables available and the entire restaurant was almost empty. Then I noticed not a single soul sitting at the sushi bar and she said it would be a few minutes. Ok that's fine, but then we were seated next to 2 girls who had a "service dog" in the restaurant that was actually barking because I thought it was just children(This is not a joke). Most of the rolls I ordered weren't filled with any fish(all California rolls dressed up as pricy rolls) just had slight fish on top and I had to specifically ask for the "classic sushi menu" as it was not offered. Would avoid. Naomi we both know that putting a vest on a normal dog doesn't make it a service dog

We LOVE the beef tongue. So tender, probably the best beef tongue we've ever had in the nation. The dessert never disappoints. A perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Kurobata sausage: delicious and cute! This is what high quality ingredients get you!

Tried this place after hearing so much about it on socials. Pulled up and there was a small line…read morewaiting for it to open. Really cool place with an open atmosphere. Kitchen is also open with a bar that looks directly into the kitchen as you dine. Drinks are simple. Plum wine, Japanese whisky options, beer, and soft drinks. Also a few mixed drinks, but again nothing crazy or exciting. Food was fresh and pretty good. The tuna sashimi appetizer was fantastic! The sauce is like a yum-yum and black sesame blend. Incredible. The bowl was wayyyyyy too sweet for me. Too much of the sauce. But the rice and chicken were pretty good. The pork belly is grilled and not seasoned much. So added it to the bowl to calm the sweet and it worked well. Overall, this place isn't worth queuing for, but still pretty good considering its location. Solid 6/10 for me.

We had 2 specialty rolls that were made perfectly. The food was very good. I am impressed to find this gem in Winter Haven. They have hamachi Kama and it's made very well.

From the service to the quality and portion of food, it's worth going back every time we go to Orlando. We all chose to eat Hibachi and I'm so happy we did. Many of the reviews said Hibachi was best so this is why we chose it. I can't give a fair assessment on the A La Carte but the Hibachi is a definite! They do take reservations so if it's a holiday or a busy weekend, I'd suggest making a reservation. The restaurant is good for all occasions: families, date night, birthdays....all the days!

Service is always fast and the folks are friendly. They take the orders of everyone at the station at the same time; even if they're not in your party. Then, food is prepared in front of you for everyone at once. Everything is also so tasty! I love getting hot green tea with my dinner here, too. They bring the whole pot. And it's so good. Try it!

Since my regular sushi place closed due to retirement (good for him! bad for me!) I've been…read morestruggling to find a replacement. I think this is it! Finally. The sushi rice here is the best I've had since Hatsuhana. The rice makes a huge difference. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Although I wish there was a bit more variety, and the cost was a bit high (edamame, 4 rolls and 2 beers was just over $100), this is definitely my new place.

Was craving their $17 lunch specials (Mon-Sat from 1130-2pm) - My go to is the chicken teriyaki…read morewith shrimp / veg tempura, fried rice, 2 miso soup (Instead of salad) and CA roll. The water here is clean tasting. To save the turtles they do not provide straws. I usually request the tempura and CA roll dine in and the rest is packed to go. (I get full fast). I always request to replace the side salad with the miso soup instead and they are ok with doing that. The tempura is lightly battered (2 shrimp, 2 green bean, eggplant , sweet potato). The tempura sauce is delicious. The CA roll is ok I mean its krab, avocado. Nothing fancy. It is rolled in masago. Staff here they have tendency to forget to refill water so try to request 2-3 glasses in advance when they ask for drink orders. Always check out the menu board - The specials can be interesting. My fave on that board that they offer sometimes is the beef tendon with tofu for like $6 ish. Love it with a side of white rice . The sauce is delicious. Reminds me of beef gyudon sauce. This place can get busy with japanese customers - especially lunch hours. The lunch bento specials only are for lunch. Dinner do not have bento specials. They are closed for summer vacation and will re open on June 19th - I am not sure the start date of the vacation - I know its sometime early June.
