10 Reviews on “Wako Sushi Cafe”
food was really good for the price! got 7 rolls, 12 piece tempura and 2 waters for $40. not the place place to sit and eat though as it is really small
Swung by this place a few days ago for some quick sushi take out. The service was friendly and they were very accommodating.Wako doesn’t have any of the fancier types of nigiri or exotic sashimi, but if you’re into standard rolls and nigiri this place offers amazing value! I got seven very tasty and well made rolls for under $30!There is limited dine in at Wako. They also keep the door open especially since spring is now here so you get a lot of road noise. It’s best to get your sushi to go.
Wako is a cheap sushi joint in Little Italy, loosely named after a cops-vs-cult shoot-out in Texas in the 90s. If you consider that then your expectations will be appropriately set and you will likely not be disappointed. My ever-picky wife got the gyoza which she said were delicious, her only complaint was that there was not enough of the soy-rice vinegar sauce for dipping. We ordered the maki lover combo, which for $20 gets you a lot of sushi. My wife quite enjoyed her teriyaki beef rolls, and my assortment of seafood rolls were acceptable. Good for the price, acceptable by any other standard. Apparently I’m the picky one.I also tried the volcano roll, which is $11 so my expectations were getting a bit higher. I should pre-empt by saying that I am not a huge fan of cooked fish sushi, and that is clearly what I ordered so I had planned to allow for that. Surprisingly, however, I found it to be quite tasty! It was a bit sloppy and difficult to eat with all the small bits of fish, crab, and scallop swimming in sauce on top of the rolls. Even still, I’d get it again.All told, I wouldn’t recommend that you go out of your way to eat at Wako, but if you are driving around the area craving spaghetti and can’t find an Italian restaurant then it is a good option to fill yourself with cheap sushi. I don’t think I would eat in, it has the ambiance of a gas station. And I recommend not ordering skip the dishes unless you want delivery because the prices are cheaper if you call it in yourself.Happy Dining!PS. I made that part up about it being named after the shootout at Waco.
Great take out sushi for the price if you just need a sushi fix. The portion of filling to rice ratio is decent compared to alot of other cheap sushi places.
Good for a nice cheap fix of sushi to take home and gorge on in front of the TV. quality ingredients but I’m usually disappointed by the amount of sushi vinegar in the rice.
I picked up an order here recently, mostly because I felt like I wanted sushi but wanted to not break the bank. I saw the other reviews talking about how cheap it was, but wasn’t exactly worth the price paid, but I felt adventurous.I am not sure if it was because I came in with low expectation, but I thought the other reviews were a little unfounded, unless they changed their pricing and quality standards. I ordered a tekka maki, salmon maki, and shitake roll with miso soup. The miso soup was priced like anywhere else, and was pretty standard. The tekka and salmon maki rolls both seemed the have a good rice to fish ratio, but maybe didn’t have the right amount of wasabi (it had not enough, which is better than having too much). I was impressed with the size of the shitake roll; it seemed to be bursting with a lot of mushroom, and was noticeably larger than the maki rolls I got. Taste wise it was good. Overall the price, quality, and quantity is exactly what I like, and its on the same level of many of the other sushi places I love. I would totally order from here again, there is no reason to not go here.
Wako is a simple sushi place with good product at great prices. It’s tiny and more meant for take-out than eat-in. Decor is lacking. We always get the Best Seller.. for $10, you get miso soup, edamame and 3 rolls, including a Bakudan roll, a California roll, and a Dynamite roll! The rolls are fresh, large, and the proportion of insides to rice is great. Service is friendly and fast. I also love their agedashi tofu and gyoza (and I can be picky about both). It’s not fancy sushi, but it never falls apart and you can’t get better for the price.
