“ I have only been here a few times but let me tell you. It was so amazing!!! They bring out your appetizers extremely fast. The service has been fantastic each time we have gone. I am not a fan of the space, they are very crowded and nowhere to wait inside without everyone trying to walk by with food. I think they have out grown their building and need a bigger space for how busy they are. Which I guess is a good thing. ”

“ Hibachi chicken was delicious . Served with vegetable and fried rice with yum yum sauce on the side. Need to come here more often ! Excellent service by our waitress and restaurant was comfortable and clean. I'd take a picture but I clean the plate! ”

“ Loved loved loved the raw yellowtail and cucumber rolls for appetizers. We ordered the seafood hibachi and it was 6/10. The rice was too dry in my opinion and the meat lacked seasoning. Also didn't like that the veggies weren't mixed into the entire dish. If they would've mixed the veggies with the meat it would've had more flavor. Will return all in all. Quick service ”

“ So I am working a new job in the Pensacola area and the Hubby and I decided to try different places for dinner. He chose this one, and I am glad he did. You don't need reservations, but on a weekday night he asked for one. We were seated promptly, and I was glad he asked for the reservation because the restaurant started filling up fast. You have so many options for food from the All You Can Eat to the sushi bar to many ala carte choosings. We calculated the cost of a drink, appetizer, two rolls and dessert and found the value of the All You Can Eat option to be worth it. I liked it because it allowed me to chose from a wide variety of their dishes and get a feel for their food. They have lots of wait staff walking around bringing and clearing dishes, so you don't ever have a significant wait for anything. Our main waiter was very attentive and paid special attention to my ginger allergy making sure that everything I ordered was safe to eat and there was no cross contamination. The food was good. Not the best sushi or tempura I've ever had but still bright and flavorful. The rolls were loaded and the sashimi tasted fresh. I opted for plain vanilla ice cream for dessert, but it was rich and creamy while the Hubby went more for the tempura cheesecake which he thoroughly enjoyed. I took a point off mostly because there was a lot of litter on the floor (mostly food order slips) and like I stated, the food was good and filling, just not wow, but still good enough that I know I will be back to try a lot of the other options on the menu. ”

“ Fantastic option for sushi in Pensacola. We visited during lunch and opted for the All-You-Can-Eat option. No line to be served and the service was prompt and friendly. Highlight is the vast menu. You literally can order anything, from hibachi or sushi to salad or appetizers. The Volcano Roll and Panhandle Roll were great. Definitely check this place out. ”

“ My parents and I dined in for lunch this afternoon and did the all you can eat for 19.99. The meal includes a drink and anything you like off a special menu. We ordered a variety of rolls, the lover roll, spicy girl and another one I do not recall the name of. The harumaki and gyoza were also delicious. We additionally ordered house salad, seaweed salad, and cucumber salad. They also have a couple hot food options, we go the chicken teriyaki, vegetable fried rice and noodles. The service is a little slow but I think that's for a reason. The food presentation is top notch! Everything is plated beautifully. We finished our lunch off with some ice cream. My mom and I went with the green tea and my dad raves about the chocolate ice cream. The restaurant was packed when we arrived but it was only about a 10 min sure wait. ”

“ **Phenomenal Experience at Wako Japanese Restaurant - A 20/10 Must-Visit!** Wako Japanese Restaurant offers an unbeatable $30 all-you-can-eat menu that is nothing short of spectacular! The menu includes everything you could possibly want: huge, delicious rolls, a variety of sodas, tea, alcoholic beverages, and even dessert.

We, the Merrit's guests, absolutely loved him. His creativity and passion shine through in every dish he prepares. Our server was equally excellent, ensuring we had everything we needed and making our evening delightful. The atmosphere, the service, and the food are all world-class. I have traveled extensively and can confidently say that Wako Japanese Restaurant is the best in the world. It's worth flying in from out of town just to experience this culinary delight. We will definitely be back again! Thank you, Wako, for an extraordinary dining experience! Thanks to Kris Merritt and family for taking us here! They're VIP! ”

“ All you can eat $31.00. On a Friday night at 6 pm expect 30 minute wait. Take a jacket it's freezing inside. The service is good but very disorganized. Bring patience and empty stomach. Everything is fresh and delicious, ”

“ Update: Been back a few times since my first post. Must say the service has improved tremendously. Food has actually improved as well. We have made it a bimonthly regular stop for the family. Food looks good, tastes good, couple that with good and quick service and you have a recipe for sucess.... ”
