Reviews
Incredible. Delicious and scrumptious. These words fall short to describe how pleasurable and satisfying it is to have dinner here. The Chuka, The Ramen and Katsu, the Shushi and every single thing ordered was fresh. And the service was wonderful and provided by Brandon. He was very attentive, and made us feel very welcomed. Definitely, returning.
My experience at Wagaya – Westside was really enjoyable overall. The food was phenomenally packed with rich, authentic flavor that truly stood out. The service was simple but efficient and friendly, which kept everything running smoothly. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and beautifully designed, even down to the bathrooms, which were thoughtfully decorated with unique animal-themed artwork and stories that added a fun, creative touch. The only downside was the menu pricing. When choosing between pork or chicken, there’s a $4 upcharge for chicken, even though it’s one of only two protein options. That feels misleading, and it really should be clearly stated on the menu in bold so customers are aware upfront. Transparency matters. Overall, I would definitely return because the quality of the food and the ambiance were great but next time, I’ll be sticking to the veggie ramen.
Came here last night for dinner. Our server Brandon was great and made sure we had everything we needed during our dinner experience. I had the Matcha Latte, and the Ramen +2. The food was delicious and the Ramen was some of the best I’ve had in a while. Loved the ambiance and the staff. Give this place a try you won’t regret it!
