Wako Japanese Cuisine

The rest of the good reviews here don’t lie! My boyfriend and I dined in today for the All You Can Eat, paid $20 a person, and had a very enjoyable experience. Shout out to Ben who was a wonderful server - our food was out within minutes between orders (it was almost unbelievable how fast it was). The Dragon, Lover and Rainbow rolls were our favorites. The cucumber salad and miso soup are also worth trying. What they fell short on was the sushi (nigiri), and not because the fish wasn’t fresh, but because the sushi rice was warm, so the contrast between warm rice and cold fish wasn’t the best. This could’ve been due to the restaurant being busy, though. Nevertheless, everything was delicious and I would recommend it to anybody! :)

Wow, what can I say? Wako Japanese Restaurant in Pensacola offers some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time. Our server, Ben, truly enhanced our dining experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, walking us through the menu and explaining how the all-you-can-eat sushi worked. My son and I opted for the all-you-can-eat sushi option, which was an absolute delight. This offering included drinks, a variety of appetizers, an endless stream of sushi, and even dessert. Unlike many sushi places where you place an order and then wait for what feels like an eternity, at Wako, the sushi arrived almost instantaneously after ordering. It felt like we were seated next to a conveyor belt of sushi magic. The sushi bar was manned by what I can only describe as an army of sushi ninjas, each diligently crafting perfect rolls and sashimi with incredible speed and precision. The quality and freshness of the sushi were evident in every bite, making it a truly memorable meal. Meanwhile, my wife opted for the hibachi and found it absolutely delicious. To finish our meal, we indulged in the tempura cheesecake for dessert, and it was nothing short of heavenly. The delicate crunch of the tempura coating combined with the creamy, rich cheesecake inside was a symphony of textures and flavors that left us in awe. Overall, Wako Japanese Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of exceptional service, high-quality sushi, delicious hibachi, and a divine dessert made for an unforgettable dining adventure. If you’re a sushi lover or a hibachi enthusiast in Pensacola, Wako is an absolute must-visit. And when you go, be sure to ask for Ben—his outstanding service will make your experience even more special. We can’t wait to return!

I definitely fell in love with the fall in love roll. I get 2 at least twice a week. Along with the happy crab and the Hawaiian roll is amazing as well. I always get extra yum yum sauce, it’s literally perfect. W service, W sushi, W yumyum sauce

My whole life I’ve hated sushi, wako has made it to where sushi is my absolute favorite dish, the fall in love roll, Hawaiian roll, and happy crab are my go to every time. If I could I’d get all you can eat sushi every day of my life. But I can’t so I get take out at least 3 times a week.

If I could give 0 stars I would. my friends like hey let’s go to wakos while we were on the way to sushi masa I said no multiple times and he was insistent so we went… It was probably the worst sushi place I’ve been to! they had no ac, sashimi was hot, sweat tea was not good no root beer and the other sodas were to carbonated, sushi was a mess… The service was horrible brought us the wrong order waitress had some hearing issue and one of the people had their finger in my bowl while delivering it… safe to say I’ll never return!
