   I had high hopes for Wokuni, and while the food was excellent, the service was a huge disappointment. At first, everything was fine, but as the restaurant got slightly busier, the servers started ignoring us. One server in particular—an older, skinny Asian man—completely disregarded our table while continuing to serve others around us. When I politely waved him over to ask for more tea, he looked directly at me, acknowledged my request, and then rolled his eyes before walking away. He never brought the tea, and I had to flag down another server just to get a simple refill. The level of disservice and disrespect was incredibly frustrating, especially since we were there celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday. A great meal can’t make up for poor service, and unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression. Would think twice before returning.

   This was some of the best sushi I’ve had since being in Japan. The drinks were also very good and the ambiance was nice. Really enjoyed our evening here.

   Scrumptious food. It was my husband’s 70th birthday and the waitstaff was even extra fantastic. Wonderful experience.

   Exceptional Japanese food. The sushi was amazing, the tempura items were the best and the cocktails are superb. The service is super friendly and warm, right from the receptionist to bartenders to wait staff. They help with menu suggestions too. The quality of fish is amongst the best, rivals top places in Japan. The presentation is fabulous and everything tastes very nice! A must try place for any Japanese food lover.

   Romana, Roni and Jake are amazing. The whole staff is actually. The cherry on top is that in addition to the AWESOME SERVICE, the food is Fresh, tasty and very, very good! I highly recommend this location if you are looking for an authentic sushi experience. Try to get a table from 5-7 to take advantage of their happy hour specials. You won’t regret it!

    A very good dinner at Wokuni. Agedashi tofu was excellent as was the Kaisen Hitsumabushi. Sake by the glass was very good. Would like to see an expanded Happy Hour offering on the menu. Looking forward to returning to try more of the menu.
