Kid size noodle with regular price

No water served until I called out after 15 minutes.
Beef is not fresh and hard to chew
As a noodle frequent eater, this one is far below the average quality and service.

Somehow all our rolls were wet. I have never experienced that before. They were also bland. The service was fine. The decor came straight out of Saved By the Bell which was unexpected but seemed dated. I really was really hoping Zak Morris would walk out with a brick phone.
It’s pretty good. Most of the rolls seem to have the seaweed on the outside and we prefer rolls with rice on the outside so that’s an us thing. The miso soup is some of the best around I’d say.
Was unsure of how good this would be (strip mall restaurants aren’t always great)…but truly such a great experience. It was a bit quiet inside, but we made ourselves at home and decided to try. The food was really good - we got sushi, tempura, and teriyaki chicken. I got the Oyako Udon and it was great. Highly recommend.
Wakaba has the best spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls! They are tucked into a corner of a strip mall and have been there for years, but the quality is superb. The tuna basically melts in your mouth, they have an awesome spicy Mayo, and the owners/workers are super nice always!
Was here for a company lunch. The service for our employees was very good and the value considering price and taste was good as well. I enjoyed the tempura box lunch special.
It is a little place. It could be nicer inside. The bathrooms are outdated. Like 1980 style. But the food was awesome. My daughter ate it faster than Scooby-Doo could. Lol. I highly recommend this place.
Wakaba was the first restaurant I ever ate sushi at - that was about 20 years ago. To this day, it remains my favorite. I highly recommend the spicy combo! So much sushi for a great price. Lake Michigan is probably my favorite roll there, but their spicy tuna is the best I’ve ever had! Also, the owners are such nice people! Highly recommend!
