We went to wako for lunch, which is a really good price at $20.95 with a drink. All the sushi we ordered tasted great! My favorite is the double crunch roll and the lo mein noodles. They also have a great hibachi and many other items. Our server was kind, attentive, and informative. The ambiance is casual and very clean. We will definitely be back to try the dinner menu. read more

1 star. I've been coming here about every two weeks and have visited well over a dozen times. Today was my last. Anyone who has eaten here enough knows the game: the more pieces you order, the smaller each piece mysteriously becomes. Fine--it's their restaurant. What wasn't fine was having a man who appeared to be the owner/manager come to our table and tell us, "We can't serve you more fish." When I pointed out there is no limit listed anywhere on the menu, his response was: "If we can't make any dollars from you, we don't need you to come." Imagine running an all-you-can-eat restaurant and openly telling paying customers they're no longer welcome because they're eating too much. If your business model depends on shrinking the sushi and cutting people off when they actually use the all-you-can-eat menu, maybe don't call it all-you-can-eat. And if you can't handle customers eating what they paid for, then maybe you're not cut out to run an all-you-can-eat restaurant in the first place. Don't worry--I got the message. I won't be back. read more

This is definitely my favorite sushi place! It's consistent! Never a miss! Honestly just so good! I often forget to take pictures of all the sushi we order because it's just so good! Don't sleep on that Snow Crab Salad! Literally life-changing good! I could eat eat right now! The service is always good. They low key start to avoid you after you eat a certain amount. I don't mind, I wave them down. They come over real nice. Then almost relieved when you ask for the bill. I love it! I love the lack of bright lights throughout the restaurant. It's chill and makes it feel more private. I honestly cannot wait to go back. I wish I was there right now! Oh yeah! Before I forget! That Green Tea Ice Cream is very odd. Beyond odd. It's straight up weird. But oh my goodness, it's so addictive. I think I had 3 or 4 bowls. I regret not getting more. It's weird. Trust me. But with each taste, it gets more and more addictive. I want it now... read more

The manager is rude. I asked to speak with him as we had a new server and he just came to the table looking angry and just stared and didn't talk, didn't address any issues, nothing. I got overcharged for my food. I asked for the all you can eat meal for $20.95 and only ordered 1 salad and 2 basic rolls and a water and was charged $35. I won't be going back. read more

TL;DR STAY AWAY DISHONEST MANAGEMENT. Another Yelp! Elite who had a problem with the horrible management here. Didn't finish a roll because it was disgusting. So much nasty sweet sauce on it that it wasn't edible. And the manager Hugo insisted on charging me $8 for the unfinished pieces. read more

Has lunch here for the first time ever. Overall, the service was very friendly. My wife and I ordered two types of sushi rolls, and the lunch hibachi special with a side salad and clear soup. The clear soup was very good, and the side salad was as well. The lunch hibachi with fried rice was definitely a hit. It was seasoned nicely and was hot when it was served. My wife ordered the spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls. Her sushi order seemed to take quite a long time considering we placed our order prior to many other guest who received theirs first. Despite that minor setback, they were overall pretty good. The ambience of the restaurant is cute and cool. And the indoor pergola was pretty cool. This restaurant is definitely popular. As guest continued to come in every few minutes since it had opened. To say the least, We will definitely be back. read more

Gave this place one final shot for lunch today. The nigiri was super small like you could shove 3 of them together to just make one nigiri at any other sushi place in town. The quality is still declining and now portions are also, so it is no longer worth going to for lunch let alone dinner. Service was fast and good staff this time around. Everything tasted bland even the wasabi had zero kick to it. Best thing we had was the ice cream and the snow crab salad. read more

WAKO did not disappoint for our dinner last night. The all you can eat dinner was as delicious as the lunch all you can eat... We were a Party of 3. We were sat quickly and our drinks order taken as well as the start of our amazing sushi dinner. The restaurant is decorated tastefully for the holidays with the music set just loud enough that you don't hear the table next to you. They have the cutest little robot waiter that even brings the sushi to the tables if all of the servers are busy. Have definitely found our new favorite restaurant. read more

I'm always skeptical of a buffet. It's a natural form of self preservation. However, this place was surprisingly good. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The menu has plenty of options, even if you choose a la cart. Customer service was very speedy and courteous. The inside was clean and orderly. Parking was a breeze. Great lunch spot. read more

Updated Review: We came back to try it during dinner and did the AYCE. We came on a Friday evening so it was pretty packed, but we got seated right away. I felt it was pretty worth it for $32.95. For dinner, it includes a soft drink, or your first alcoholic beverage. They had a wide variety of things you can have for dinner, which I thought was pretty cool since I really don't eat sashimi. My favorite thing here that I tried was the salmon skin salad. I also liked their shrimp tempura roll. Everything came out nice and quick and the kitchen item that I ordered came out nice and hot. I liked their ice cream a lot too. I tried the chocolate the day I came. I'm not sure what brand they have but it's very yummy. read more

I didn't know anything about this place when I went there to meet with a friend. I was seriously surprised by how friendly and knowledgeable the server we had. She. Was an absolute joy to watch her do her job. I liked everything that was served and the speed it was served at. Yes not the #1 or the best in the world or I ever had but for what the price you pay, this was amazingly good. Everything was very presentable and delicious in flavor. Everything we ordered tasted like what we ordered should have. I will go back here for sure. James the bartender was one entertaining person and he made sure we had a great time and enjoyed our stay here. And we sure did. Will definitely go back here again and recommend it to others as well. Great meeting with bunch of friends place if you ask me. read more

The greatest bang for your buck ever. Not cheap but you can make it worth every dollar the highlight is during lunch the all you can eat menu for a little over 20$ includes a drink, a bunch of sushi, meats, rice, noodles, appetizers, and dessert. The dinner all you can eat menu is a little over 30$ but includes a bigger menu of more deluxe options than the lunch like sushi's with steak on top and calamari. It's a very quick process in and out in like 1:30 or so. Very clean restaurant. The best Sushi in Tennessee. read more

Haven't eaten here in a while Josh was great everything was great if you go here try to get Josh he a good server. I can't speak for his boss though.

I luckily got his number so I will for sure go to the next spot he chooses to work at unless he decides to go into another industry. read more

Been to WAKO at least 3 times to visit! Great place if you want decent sushi and pleasant atmosphere. When you first arrive, you are met with an over whelming smell or fragrant of cleaning supplies and candle. Service is good! I usually get the sashimi. The all you can eat is great if you are eating on an empty stomach. Restaurant is clean and has a cute robot cleaner. Some dishes you can avoid like the California roll or chicken fried rice, but the gyoza and miso soup are very good! Price is reasonable for sushi. read more

This place is really cool! I had the lunch buffet, which really isn't a buffet at all. You order each item you want individually. They make the food you order fresh for you and they bring it to you quickly. The food is very tasty, but not all the portions are large. That's not a problem, because you can just order more! The staff are really nice and they will share their recommendations with you. The staff really hustle to bring your food quickly. The restaurant is clean and the prices are fair. read more

We have been to this place once a month for five months straight and then decided to take a break for a few months. When we returned yesterday, we were a little disappointed that their sashimi portion became so tiny. This is an AYCE so we can place orders many times. There is no reason for them to dice the pieces and slice them so thin. It's almost like they cut each piece in the pictures (10 months ago) into however many pieces we requested. The taste are still good but the rolls definitely have more rice now too. We really like this place and hope that they don't get into a death spiral of sacrificing their quality. read more

Sushi was really good. The scallops however were sadly overcooked. They looked amazing when the server brought them to the table, I was so excited until I took a bite and noticed they were all burt and chewy, upon turning each one over, that were perfectly placed on the plate, burt side dow. No one wants to pay $25+ for rubbery seafood. They did remove that dish from my bill without hesitation but made sure to charge me for the salad that came with the scallop dinner, talk about chinsy. I will give them another try and just stick with sushi. Service was great as well. Update, we stopped here today for Sushi only and I must say it's really good. I still want those scallops, if only... I did take pics this time. read more

Really enjoyed this place! I'm not a harsh critic for all you can eat sushi. As long as they have rolls that sound yummy and are im fine! Not an expert by any means. They have soooo many specialty rolls and if you are not a real sushi eater, this place has so many options! The service was great, you get a free drink with ALYCE. I can't wait for my next visit. Update: a friend of mine who went with us and loved it went a week later and said the sushi was not good. I'm afraid they might be inconsistent. I will give it another try in a few months and update my review if needed. read more

Went in about 3pm - was a bit disappointed we were charged dinner prices for the all you can eat, but what can ya do. Sat in a bit of an awkward spot at a table right in the middle with many empty booths all around. I should have asked to move, but didn't. Our server Madison was great. She was super friendly and helpful and I felt bad for her because she was the only one helping everybody there. Food was brought out quickly, everything tasted pretty decent. We did have to ask for napkins and chopsticks as they weren't given to us initially. Also had to remind to bring us our drinks. Again, not a fault of our server, she clearly was working her butt off. We'd probably come back, but maybe at a later time. read more

We came in with a party of 8 and were accommodated quickly considering we hadn't made a reservation in advance. It was a Friday evening so we expected to have to wait a bit but instead we were seated within minutes. Drink and food orders were taken promptly and everything was delicious! The sushi, edamame, miso soup and the pot stickers had great flavor. Our food even started coming out extremely fast considering a large party and Friday night. We were all impressed. This is the first sushi restaurant we've been to in Tennessee (we've tried a couple) that really makes excellent sushi. We'll be back!! read more

Came here with my husband for the all-you-can eat lunch menu. It's $20.95 per person and well worth it. In total, we tried the Wako Roll, Tokyo Monster Roll, Fall In Love Roll, Golden Tokyo Roll, Godzila Roll, Hawaii Roll, Happy Crab, and Gyoza. My favorite was the Tokyo Monster Roll. Everything was delicious and fresh, the service was great, our drinks were refilled, etc. We will definitely be back to try some of the other rolls soon! read more

The atmosphere is nice and clean and the service is usually good. Sometimes they fail to bring out a roll or soup or some item we ordered but we can usually just order it again since we do the all you can eat option. The quality is much better than one might expect for all you can eat, definitely better than any I've had before. Does it match the quality of top sushi places around? No. But the value is well worth it. Definitely the best option for feeding a group or even when you may want mass quantities for a reasonable price. The options are fantastic as well, from soups, salads, appetizers, fried noodle dishes, rice and much more plus pretty good sushi. Definitely hard to beat. read more

You wouldn't expect much from an all you can eat sushi spot but Wako sets the standards high. It's actually really good. Lots of variety and items included at a decent price. I will point out that the rice with nigiri and the nigiri/sashimi cuts are smaller in general but I think that's just them being smart on their end since it's all you can eat. Just order more nigiri/sashimi if you want more. I liked the spicy kani salad a lot. Their lo mein is surprisingly very good too. Be sure to come hungry! read more

10/10! We've been wanting to try this place, but never had a good time to go. We went for my birthday dinner and didn't know what we would get the kids. We were very thankful that they had the chicken Katsu, which is basically like fried chicken it was perfect for my kid who doesn't like to eat unique things. They did not have ketchup, however, which was not a huge dealbreaker, but I think they should have a little for cases like mine. The sushi was the best sushi I've ever had and the hibachi was very good! My oldest loved the salad! We will be back. read more

Some friends and I decided to try their all you can eat menu to start our day off. When we arrived we were immediately seated with some menus. Unfortunately, off the bat we all noticed the dirty menus and it wasn't due to aging. Most were sticky and stained. A wet cloth would of easily fixed this. Our server then presented herself. She immediately asked what we wanted to drink with no greeting or sentiment. We were all confused and stunned. The treatment continued throughout our time at this establishment. We hypothesized what we could of possibly done off the bat to get this treatment. We didn't even have time to mess up. Her shortness and attitude continued throughout. Their was moments we needed assistance and she never gave it to us. We didn't take her mannerisms personally, until a group got seated behind us and she gave them the opposite treatment. The food, unfortunately, was just okay. It might have been the bad taste our server gave us, but everything could have been better. We tried rolls, appetizers, and tempura. The best items we ate out of the batch was the godzilla roll and the vegetable tempura. If you want to risk your mental health at this place try these. Might make your visit worth it. Overall, this place has lost our groups business. I don't recommend this place to anyone. If you want something similar and ten times better quality, try Sushi Kingdom in Madison. I know this is a drive, but you will not regret it. They have a bigger and better quality all you can eat sushi menu and won't leave you beat up. read more

Came here hungry for all you can eat sushi in Murfreesboro! It's 32.95 pp and that includes 1 cocktail or beer. Portions were tiny which is understandable for AYCE. But sushi quality, I have to say I've had better at others all you can eat places. It tasted like buffet sushi in a way. Service was great! Good came by really quickly. If you ever decide to come, you could never go wrong with the shrimp tempura! We ordered about 4 of those and it was scrumptious! read more

They offer all u can eat 32.95/person(including appetizer+sushi+sashimi+ soup+dessert）. Also u can get a free wine/sake/beer. I think it is pretty budget-friendly. The dish quality is super good. Normally all u can eat store only provide sushi option. It is so satisfied That I finished 3 Full plate of sashimi! They all super fresh(I don like tuna tartare appetizer in this store But the rest all super good！） Some of "favorite" recommendation I order all the sashimi Appetizer: There is a yellowtail jalapeno. Must to try. So balanced. I ordered 3 times Naruto:pretty fresh texture. Outside is cucumber. This dish is more for share. Rolls: I recommend hand rolls. So That u can taste more flavor instead of sushi roll with6-8 piece. I didn't order special roll But waitress said wako roll is really good. Appetizer:edamame, sumai, tofu, gyoza, yakitori all pretty good I ordered miso soup and seaweed salad they are standard level Chicken katsu is with small portion But super good I didnt get entree or main dish. Icecream Also pretty good (red bean, strawberry, mocha all tasty) Summary: if u like sashimi, they here is a good place to go. If only for appetizer and main dish. Then I will say around Average level read more
