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 had a delightful dining experience at Sake Cafe. I ordered the steak hibachi, which came with a fresh salad and flavorful soup. Additionally, I enjoyed the Dragon Roll, Sake Cafe Roll, Rock n Roll, and Christmas Roll. To conclude the meal, I indulged in tempura ice cream. Despite the bustling atmosphere on a Saturday night, the service was impressively prompt.

Amazing sushi! I travel for work and have been away for a little less than a year. I've had sushi in too many places to count and Sake is in the top 5 places where I've eaten sushi throughout all my travels. My guests had the habachi and loved it! I am pleasantly surprised that the quality has not changed with the new owners. The new owners are a wonderful couple and took the time to speak with me and my guests. I'll be back with family and friends to enjoy the food, the lighthearted and less stressed staff, and the better choice in music!

We love this place. We love the food, the fun atmosphere with Bollywood dance videos playing, the smiling staff and passionate owner. Support this wonderful business!

Yum. It really is a taste of India. If you've been to India, these flavors are going to be familiar!

Have 4 stars due to rice being rather bland but this was first time trying them ordered General chicken lunch special. Chicken and egg role were both excellent

Food is very tasty, just be aware that everything now comes with an insane amount of broccoli. I ordered Buddhist Delight, no tofu at all and an entire HEAD of broccoli. Had to pick out the pieces as they were so large and it left a small amount of vegetables and the rice. Used to be a good deal, now only broccoli. Very sad.

Since this is closest to me now I have ordered pickup orders from this location. Order is always great and correct. Employees are always friendly and helpful and happy to see you. It is in a nice neighborhood which is always a good thing when you want to place pickup orders. No worries here. Orders are always ready quickly and ready when I get there. Highly recommended location.

Second time ordering from this location. Ordered a Hawaiian BBQ Chicken pizza, as I always do. Did NOT taste any BBQ sauce, pizza was floppy and not completely cooked. 1st time I ordered was worse and I'm not getting into that. I suggest that they find someone to properly make a pizza. WILL NOT order from this location again!
