Waraji Japanese Restaurant

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience at Waraji! Our waitress, Shaiel, truly made the night special. She gave us outstanding service from start to finish. Shaiel took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, walking us through the different sushi options and helping us understand the variety of sake available. Her knowledge really stood out — she broke down the flavor profiles of each sake and offered thoughtful drink recommendations that paired perfectly with our sushi selections. What we appreciated most was how patient and engaging she was. She didn’t rush us and made sure we felt comfortable trying new things. On top of that, she shared the history of the restaurant and talked about the diversity of the staff, which made the experience feel even more personal and welcoming. Exceptiona

My boyfriend and I decided to go on a date and this was the perfect choice. The drink selection names are fun and taste wonderful (picture added). I had the mount fuji and my boyfriend had the umeboshi. Dylan was the bartender the night we went and they were delicious. Mount fuji has a strong start with the sweet cinnamon finish. We sat at the high seat next to the bar so we had the pleasure of enjoying the ambience of the restaurant. The Japanese inspired design and meal selections were delightful. Kayla was our waitress and she was awesome. She was attentive, polite, and also personable. She was knowledgeable about the menu items and guided us through the crowd favorites. We ordered the salmon teriyaki entree and chicken katsu with the garlic butter chicken fried rice (picture added). Th

Lovely dining experience! I came by myself and sat at the sushi bar and exclusively ate sushi, so cannot comment on any other food offerings. You're greeted at your table with a warm towel for your hands. The sushi was delicious. Rice had good flavor and the selection was nice. I wish they had ama-ebi, but if they did then maybe I missed it on the menu. The miso soup was also good and you can tell they make it themselves (vs a packet). I would come back again!

I've been to waraji before. This time was a mess. I was seated at the sushi counter, was told it was first come first serve. I had to wait a while until a server noticed me. They had to ask if I needed a menu, rather than giving me a menu. Once I got them in you I was able to order an appetizer as well as an entree. The appetizer came out fairly quickly. The entree took nearly 30 minutes to come out, only coming out once the waiter notice that I had not received my food. While the sushi is high quality I was very surprised that this restaurant has fallen down in quality in recent years. I'll give it another shot, but I was disappointed this time.

Went to Waraji for a little girls’ night sushi dinner with my friend and it was amazing! We started with a sake flight that was hand-delivered by the bartender, who shared the story and theme behind each pour such a cool and thoughtful touch. We tried three different sushi rolls, both of their soups, and the shrimp dumplings and wow, every single thing was phenomenal. The quality and flavor were outstanding. It was a bit quiet inside, but the staff was wonderful and made sure everything I ordered was safe given my tree nut allergy, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend this spot for sushi lovers, I’ll definitely be going back!
