Upon arrival I asked for table for 1, and the host suggested either sushi bar or the drinking bar. It was cool that they had separate area at the back for drinking vibe while the dining area is more of a cozy vibe. I asked how the situation was at the drinking bar side and she told me to go check, which i thought it was weird? I decided to sit at the sushi bar.

Just moved to the area and am so excited to find Izakaya Wa. Love the variety of skewers they had available and the sashimi options! Looking forward to returning! The decor was cute as well.

The food here is great and that’s the biggest thing.. service is really good toro very friendly and trained staff. The drinks aren’t expensive if you’re looking to get a couple while you wait for food or while you eat your meal. Truthfully I forgot what we ordered but I do remember everything being very tasty and filling!

I’ve been here the 2 times I went to Houston and both meals were one of the best I’ve ever had. The quality of the fish is excellent and the variety of Japanese dishes is incredible. Considering the quality of the food I’d say everything is pretty reasonable. Outstanding

Great food and amazing services! They have multiple tables so we were able to walk in on a Friday night and was given a decent size table. A great Japanese restaurant that serves fresh wasabi (soft and gives you the kick!). The basic restaurant serves wet ginger and dry hardened wasabi, avoid those places.

I can’t believe how disappointed I was with my recent visit here. The food was simply terrible! The sushi rolls looked like they had been sitting out for hours, and the fish tasted like it had seen better days. The rice was cold and hard. To make matters worse, the service was horrendous. The waiter seemed completely disinterested in our table, and it took forever to get our orders in. When the food finally arrived, it was the wrong order, and they didn’t seem to care. In the end the waiter was rude because we gave a small tip. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save your money and go somewhere else for good sushi. This was a dining experience I’d rather forget.”

There is lots of parking, but it’s shared with lots of other places so it can be tricky to find a spot at busy times. The hostess stand is on the west side of the building but there is also an entrance/exit on the east side of the building. Was a wait-list for a table so make sure to plan ahead if you have a larger group. If you like sitting at the bar, the bar was alright. The back tables / rooms were setup for privacy, which was cool. The overhead lighting in the booth I sat at was a bit weird. The seats and edge of the table on one side were completely dark. They should really look at fixing that. The noise levels were fine. There was a device on each table with buttons to call for service, or the bill. The server seemed pretty busy and the food and drinks were slow to be delivered. I thought the Japanese curry would be good since it said spicy on the menu. It had zero heat. I was disappointed. The black cod was delicious. Definitely recommend it. The stingray fin was also quite nice, like a fish jerky. Overall, a nice spot for a Japanese meal.

My wife and I have been to Kata Robata, Roka Akor, and Uchi. This place had the best sashimi and sushi by far. Great food with a friendly staff at a reasonable price. 10/10 will be back.
