Great sushi place. Didn't expect to find a such a great sushi place in Missouri. Went there with the family and my youngest doesn't eat sushi but she had great alternate choice of bento boxes for her. My wife and I ordered couple of specialty rolls and variety of sushi and yum.. they were delicious. I'd recommend this place for first time sushi eaters to experience sushi goers. You won't be disappointed. read more

The service was good, but the food is just "ok" and quite a bit overpriced. The combo (or Bento box as some places call it) is $16 not including drink. I have had Bento at other places that had a good bit more food plus drink for half that amount. I am not trying to steer anyone away from Wakyoto, but I would say the food needs to be better and more of it for the price. read more

This little place is a diamond hidden in Branson. Don't be fooled at their small size because their menu is packed with amazing flavor! The service by their ladies and Sushi master is great. What a lovely place to have a leisurely lunch or dinner in the rush of Branson. You will not be disappointed. The cucumber salad is to die for and their ginger dressing is clean and lovely read more

Best place in B-Town! Love it for the food and the mood!

Stopped in today for a late lunch of Hawaiian roll and the sushi sampler. I must admit I'm a bit skeptical eating sushi in Branson Missouri. I was pleasantly surprised that the service was fast and the food was excellent. It was a little pricier than I wanted to pay but it was worth it. read more

Yummy! The boxes were generous and very tasty. On the edge of family friendly, but my preteens loved the food. A little on the pricy side, but worth it. read more

Wakyoto - Dinner box. - Japanese Near Me - Branson, Missouri

The sushi was great! I highly recommend the 911. It's a little hot but absolutely delicious. Do yourself a favor and eat here at least once while in town. read more

This was bad ....the decor was promising but both service and dishes presented were quite disappointing .... I think they were running on the assumption this was the most posh sushi joint I'd been to so I wouldn't notice that my chicken was under cooked (raw) tempura was absolutely bland ...nori had thick creases in it that were nearly inedible and destroyed the wrap AND it wasn't fresh not sure if they made it that morning or left over from the night before but I could taste the refrigerator in the stale rice .....was on vacation and am used to a higher quality offering especially at the premium marked price this place charged unless your really drunk or just don't care....don't eat wykyoto read more

I love this place EXCEPT FOR THE MUSIC THEY PLAY. AND IT IS TOO LOUD. My dad who would be 87 if he were still alive used to listen to this horrible Musack. Come on Branson, PLEASE get us out of the nursing home mentality! read more

This sushi in no bueno! Service was bad. The portions are on the small size. On a good note the atmosphere we very appealing.

Ordered the Hawaiian Roll. Good. Nothing special. Service was good, friendly and quick.

The sushi was great, really good. The teriyaki was delicious, my only complaint is to much dressing on the salad. But it was quite enjoyable. read more

Bulkogi is great , but size is too small. By the way, rolls are pretty good.

Only had one person working, very slow service, forgot a roll, and everyone was done with food before we got our last roll. The first roll was not anything special either. read more

This is my new favorite sushi place! Unfortunately, I live in CA and was just out for vacation so I won't be able to get my fix again soon. The food was great. My sushi rolls were perfect. My boyfriend doesn't like fish, but they didn't cut any corners with the chicken dish, and the egg rolls were amazing as well! Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance was great- perfect date night! read more

My family of five visited. The food was ok good but the service was poor!! Our son did not get his meal until after we were all finished (they forgot). The drinks came (after having to remind them twice we had ordered) with no lemon when specifically asked for and was charged $12.95/drink! Wow! They automatically apply a 17% gratuity to a party of five and didn't discount our sons meal for being forgot about. They certainly charge a premium price for an ok product and terrible (almost disrespectful) service. Obviously, would not recommend. read more

Wonderful selection. I had the Eagle Eye Roll and the Scorpion Roll. Both were delicious. Service was quick, but had a hard time understanding each other due to heavy accent. A little too pricey, but everything is here in Branson. read more

Sushi was excellent, loved the menu with pictures of actual sushi on them. Very large specialty rolls& so tastey. Good service & nice atmosphere. Will be back when we visit Brandon again read more

The food was good; the service was excellent, and the lunch meal was a good value. Our hostess was very nice and there was not a long wait. The restaurant was exceptionally clean. I will go back. read more

This is absolutely the best place for sushi. We love Wykaoto. We have been here a million times and always have a great experience. The owners really take an interest in their customers and are more often than not, the ones preparing the food and serving. If we have the little one with us, they will bring her her own miso, because they remember she loves it, or occasionally a desert. We have tried almost every special roll. We recommend the raw boat roll, wakyoto special roll, Japanese tuna ball, or the spicy trio roll. I really appreciate that it's not mostly cream cheese or fried rolls like a lot of the places from Branson to Springfield. They're squid salad and egg rolls are exceptional, as well as their miso is seriously the best I've ever had. I cannot say enough about this place. They are just the best. read more

We love sushi and decided to try it when we were in branson and it was very good. The atmosphere and decorations inside was nice and not too formal or too casual. They had bamboo screens in between each booth which was a nice touch. We ordered the classic roll, the viking fire roll, the branson roll and a california roll and we they were all good. The service was great. Our waitress was very nice and friendly and helpful with recommendations when I wasn't quite sure what to get. Great sushi good place, we'll be back next time we're in Branson. read more

Some of the best Sushi I have ever had. Who would have thought that land locked MO would have a great sushi place. You are on my list to visit next time I'm in Branson. Great staff and good food the BEST combination! read more

Branson has more to offer than just Dixie flags and tattoo parlors they have a good sushi shop. Tuna nigiri is the best thing here. It was tender and moist (yes I know it's hard to have dry sushi but try Ocean Zen in Springfield and you will know what I'm talking about) and melts in your mouth. The hamachi nigiri was great as well. The Dragon roll was good, California roll good, 911 roll was just ok. They bring out fried bananas after your meal and these were a big hit at our table. For the upside these guys do everything right from service to food to presentation. The downside...they do not explore out of the box very much. There seems to be no innovation in the menu. I have had some BAD sushi in this area and it is nice to have it done right but I am still looking for someone to push the envelope. C'mon chef's of Springfield, Branson, Taney County, Wilfred, and Greene County let's put some lipstick on this pig and see if she can dance. Let's think outside of the box and push forward with some insanely good tasting concoctions, I know you can do it. And when you do I will be here to give you your just deserts....after i have had them of course. read more

We tried to eat here. After waiting for 15 minutes without even our drink order being taken, we decided to leave.

Not the very best sushi for the price. The fishes are mainly frozen (i can tell because sushi is one of my favorite food of all time). And yes for the price, they should order some fresh fish (especially for the busy holidays). My kids had bake and fried rolls they said they weren't as good as other restaurants that we'd been. Service is great though. read more

Wonderful, friendly service! Traditional menu with top-notch salmon sashimi. The awesome lobster roll really had lobster on top. Be sure to grab a samurai drink as well! Not too sweet, not too strong, but perfect with sushi. To finish up we had the tempura green tea ice cream! Definitely worth the price. My husband and I have eaten at places around the nation. read more

I took my family of six here last Saturday night on a weekend trip for my birthday. When we arrived, we requested to be seated at a table that was roomy enough for our group. The manager refused(even though the dining room was very empty) and seated us in the back corner in a booth for four and pushed up a rickety table to the edge. Our waitress/manager took our order and then started making references to my brother in law about looking like Santa. After our asking specific questions before ordering, she brought two of us the wrong order. My sister-in-law requested some Yum-Yum sauce and we had to endure five minutes of her lecturing, insulting, and nearly refusing to accommodate her. Before we completed our meal, we asked her about our getting food that we didn't order. She literally spent 20 minutes arguing with us, insulting us, and refusing to admit that she didn't listen to what we specifically asked her when we ordered. She finally agreed to take the extra $30+ charges off our bill, after disparaging our race and intelligence. She completely ruined our evening and it took an hour for my blood pressure to return to normal. The food was excellent, but none of us can believe that she is employed there. After speaking to several locals, we found that this is a common problem. I have never had such a poor experience and I feel sorry for her coworkers/employees. read more

Let me be the first to say that the very idea of uttering the words "Branson" and "sushi" in the same sentence once felt ridiculous. But this restaurant has shown me the error of my ways. This is some of the best Japanese and Asian fusion food I've had-- and that really is saying something as I spent last summer traveling through Japan. I've lived in New York City and eaten at top restaurants in countries all over the world, and I'd put this little eatery in a Branson strip mall in my top 10. Sure, we aren't talking Michelin stars, but for the price- I'd probably chose to eat here over many of the 2 and 3 star places we've had the pleasure to visit. The service was being compare, the drinks were tasty with just the right amount of kick, and the fish was as fresh as anything I'd expect from a coastal restaurant. We tried a variety of rolls, bento boxes and the tuna tower-- and we'd all come back for more. I will have dreams of the tuna tower until I can get back! read more

Came in at 5pm on a Saturday, This was the most fresh sushi I've ever had with fast service! Tons to choose from too! Great atmosphere and I would definitely come here again. read more

Very good food located on the main drag in Branson. Highly recommended. Hiden gem worth a try we liked it very much

This place was horrible! The server was ridiculous when I told her the noodles were like rubber and she said it wasn't her fault I didn't like them! She would not take them off my check and my husband ordered the same thing and thought they were also bad. So we're sitting there with 2 bowls full of Udon as she persisted on telling us that they've been open for 6 years and people like their food...who does that? I own a business myself and would never speak to my customers the way she was speaking to me! read more

Very good! Clean place, great service. Their menu was easy to read and I enjoyed they had a list menu and their popular rolls on a picture menu. Gear for Sushi newbies. I'm not one and I found the rolls yummy! read more

Very good. The whole family loves coming here when we visit Branson. Awesome rolls and excellent, friendly service.

I don't know what was worse - the black hair in my ginger salad - or the mildew on the "Japanese Sprite" bottles that were served to my children. Service recovery on these mistakes were very poor as well. The server actually looked at my brown hair to see if by chance I could have put the hair in my salad myself. I can say that the sushi was good - but my appetite was greatly decreased after the first two incidents occured. I would not reccommend this restaurant. Poor Service - and I do have to wonder what the condition of their kitchen is in. read more

We have been here several times and keep coming back. The sushi is good and the service is always fast and friendly. Have not found a roll that we don't like. Will keep coming back! read more
