Ordered food to go from the wave, as we have done many times before, tonight the spicy tuna was so exceptionally hot it was burning our lips and hands. I called to let them know, not asking for a refund, and the response on the phone was anything but cordial. Both defensive and rude. Maybe it's just an off night, but I would hesitate to eat here again. Genuinely the spicy tuna was so hot tonight there was no way to taste anything else at all in the roll. read more

I was super excited to try this place but the food was honestly very average. The sweet potato puffs and edamame were good, however the coconut shrimp were pretty crisp and heavily battered with a small shrimp hidden inside. We also got 4 sushi rolls, the flame, caterpillar, the ralston and baja. It was good sushi, but I've had better in Spokane at other places. Service was good and the ambience of the place is awesome. read more

Great service and nice atmosphere. Clean and inviting restaurant. Drinks are ok. Menu is appealing. Pros: -Sweet potato puffs are like tots with yummy dipping sauce. - service and atmosphere - sushi - creative offerings and beautiful presentation. But... - this is the place if you're looking for fun and creative offerings, not authentic - the coconut shrimp was extremely overcooked, maybe even burnt. And the very over- coated. Do not recommend. read more

Visited Wave on Friday, July 10th - not really one to write a review even if the food or service is subpar. However, being alerted by my credit card that I left a 40% tip on the bill where the service did not even deserve 20% is concerning. The food was okay, there are better sushi options in Spokane; Umi is great. But the service was not great, so I left $10.00 on a $63.22 bill... very clearly printed and I always take my customer receipt - this is exactly why. read more

The food has gone so downhill I have been going to the wave for about 15 yrs. I don't go as much due to inflation and the price of sushi going up but today was my son's 13th birthday and he had his heart set on sushi! He left dishearted with tears due to the quality of the big island roll...which he has been getting since he wa 8yr old! I will be finding a new location to spend my money on quality sushi. My roll was excessively hot and needed to combat it with eel sauce. The server was wonderful even through all these issues but the food quality wasn't worth $100 bill again. It makes so sad as this has been my go to for the last 15yrs... read more

I was craving spam musubi and saw that Wave has it on their menu. I ordered via UberEats and everything was well packaged and arrived quickly. The spam musubi was great. Definitely the star of the show. I also got the philly roll, da bomb roll and mac salad. Well... the mac salad was defintely not my favorite. It was spicy? Perhaps they used the spicy mayo (they call it raw sauce)... and it was beyond room temperature. I took a few bites and disposed. Disappointing! I love philly rolls but the texture of their fish in both of the rolls didn't quite hit the mark. But perhaps it was just an off day. Overall, it was okay. I will try again and select different menu items next time. read more

My wife and stopped in for lunch today. We were greeted by friendly staff and seated. We each ordered off the special lunch combo menu. The miso soup and cucumber salad were yummy. The crunchy and California rolls of were delicious, as were the single bits. Get in here and give this place a try. read more

The service was good, and the server was a very friendly guy. Very personable, made great convo before it got busy, very enjoyable! The ambiance was nice, felt clean, pleasant. Reggae music in the background was a nice touch. The food was very delicious. We had the Japanese curry, pork katsu, and loco moco. We really loved all of it. I especially enjoyed the mexi cali roll. The only complaint we had, and it's kind of petty, was the AC was working very well, and we were a bit chilly. Next time we will throw in a sweater! read more

Food was great! Being an island grill, maybe pronouncing island food correctly would help but there was a local brother from HI that helped us during happy hour which made the place match the island ambiance & music. Sushi was great. I guess the only complaint is the kids meal. The portion of the teriyaki chicken seems like 1/2 thigh cut up. read more

The food is so good! The menu has not only sushi but also it has kids meals like chicken tenders and etc. The service is not bad, the people who work their are epic! I really like how they made their decor. Their "theme" of the place is like turquoise blue and green plants everywhere. Its feels like youre on a beach on a island. This place is amazing ! Totally worth it a try! read more

Haven't been here in a long time but had the opportunity tonight for a social dinner. Their menu has plenty of options for sushi lovers and those that avoid fish at all costs. I ordered the chicken katsu and a California roll - it was the perfect amount of food to fill me up. Also, the cucumber salad they have as an option is AMAZING!!! Highly recommend it. We ordered a handful of other sushi rolls and they were all tasty. If you're downtown and are looking for a local place to dine in, I recommend you try The Wave. read more

Ive ran into two encounters where I specifically called to ask if there was a wait and what time "last call" was. I was told to come in and it was at 830 PM. The first time I went in at 8 PM and then 8:13 PM and was told they just did their last call and could not serve my family and I. It's just poor customer service and communication. Don't tell a customer it's okay to come in and then 15 min later say something different. This is one of my fav sushi spots and it's frustrating that I've continued to run into this. read more

I recently ordered the Pork Kalua & Cabbage entre, picked up up, went back to my office before opening, and the photo below shows what I received for $18+. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed on the portion size - more like a small appetizer. Would not order takeout from them again. It was relatively tasty but not a "gotta order that again" type of reaction. read more

Was in Spokane for a volleyball and we amazingly got a last minute reservation for 9 teens and 12 adults on a Saturday night. Emily the GM was 10/10 AMAZING. She put us in a private dining area so we could be as loud as we want without disturbance. She took the best care of us, taking our orders, getting everything right, service with the nicest smile, and allowing split bills. The food was great and we all left extremely happy. read more

I stopped by as this spot is walking distance from the Davenport Tower. I came in just in time for happy hour which was great because there were some tasty deals. I ordered the spicy salmon rolls, Ahi Poke and Lucky Fizz. The spicy salmon rolls were tasty but slightly spicier than I thought it would be. The Ahi Poke was tasty but a little salty. I loved the Lucky Fizz drink, it was just like the lychee jelly but made into a strong alcoholic drink. The staff was really friendly and inside was really nice. I would come back but maybe need to order some of the other fancier rolls. read more

We went during happy hour which is definitely the move. Our sushi rolls(one not pictured) were both on the happy hour menu and it was busy at all. Our server was exceptional. When asking about ingredients in the milk tea she brought out the ingredient in question so we could make sure we could have it. Just went above and beyond to accommodate us. All the food was really good. We also had the spam musubi which was also on the happy hour menu and it looked so good I forgot to take a picture before we ate it. They have a lot of seating, and different areas to accommodate groups, families or bar setting. Really can't go wrong. read more

Pretty good sushi, i got the death by salmon roll and it was smackin. nothing out of this world, maybe a little too much sauce on it but it was a decently filling roll compared to what ive had before. this dude sitting in a table in front of me ordered a shitton of sushi and some mountain of fish on a pile of rice thing and it all looked so good and this mf was just taking pictures of the whole thing and not even eating it, that kind of pissed me off a lot i was hoping hed give his sushi to me but he did not do that read more

Horrible food and quality! I have no idea what happened to this place but fresh quality food is not their thing at all. I agree with the comments about gas station sushi. 100% The rice was yellow, hard, and old. My rolls look as if they were deep fried YESTERDAY. The owner replies that they are deep fried, but this is not what a deep fried roll looks like nor is that what I ordered. I do not order deep fried sushi. The fish inside was small, old, and disgusting too. Even if they were good they were so small, skinny, and lacked substance. The worst sushi in Spokane now. Not what they used to be. read more

Was staying in Spokane for the night and wanted to check this place out since it was so close. There was 3 of us but I was the only one having sushi. I had the death by tuna and man it was everything I wanted. Slight hint of spice from the jalepenos with out the wasabi over kill, perfect taste of tuna and freshness. Nothing to rag on and the waiter was very helpful. 30 year old but didn't catch his name read more

I go on Sundays at happy hour, when it's quiet. Firstly, the owner responds to negative yelp reviews, I just read. That is a huge plus in business. I know this. Secondly, Emily is awesome, friendly and a hurricane of confidence. Christina is also awesome and hustles the whole time. I sit at the bar and talk to Leo. He's engaging, friendly and quick. The owner has a rock solid staff . And most importantly, they produce a quality product. read more

Though the neighborhood looks a little sketchy, the Wave is clean, beautifully decorated, and filled with televisions broadcasting tons of different games at the same time! But we didn't go for the tv...we're from Hawai'i and missed quality sushi. We are soooo happy to know that this is the place for awesome sushi, boba drinks, good beer, and awesome beer battered fries! read more

I'm in town for work and was looking for some good sushi. And this place came up close to my hotel and walkable. I tried it twice both times staff were kind and so helpful. The food is good and tasty. I ordered some the different sushi plates the fish was fresh and tasty but I did notice both times it took a while to the sushi plates out versus the regular hot plates. Some in my group got their plates quick while rest waited for while for our sushi plates. We also had some miso since it was cold out but very quickly put it to side since it was too salty to eat. read more

Last time was here was "pre covid" since then they've updated it a lot! They have a nice wrap around bar that is very nice! Their food is still just as good! They have a "add on" and it's a smoothie bar & can get drinks from them from the restaurant! Awesome sushi place downtown! read more

Great service. Unusual choices, not a huge selection but what we got was good. Different, but good.

If I could give 6 stars, this wonderful Hawaiian / Asian fusion restaurant would be a no-brainer. -Wonderful friendly service -Fresh, well-prepared food -Fair prices with good portion sizes -Very clean inside with plenty of televisions for sporting events, including baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sumo wrestling, surfing competitions or whatever you are in the mood to watch My only complaint is they don't have a location in my hometown of Portland OR. Mahalo!!!!! read more

I work at a fellow restaurant and I completely understand the exhaustion of the industry and closing early. This has happened several times for you to close early it is only 938 I called at 9:30 for a to go order and it says you are open till 11o'clock for service. I absolutely cannot understand why you're shutting down an hour and a half early. I love you sushi and I love your restaurant but the frustration of this happening over and over again its becoming absolute insult at this point. Choose to change your time of operations so us fellow industry don't get fucked over in the end. Are we not family in this industry? read more
