    Very fresh sushi with great sushi rice. Very safe offerings. Would have like to see a bit more authentic/exotic Japanese offerings, since the name is basically a promise. Don't get me wrong, the sushi was great but the selection was ordinary.

    Wafu feels cozy and it's quiet - just enough ambient noise to make one feel like something good is about to happen. We had a 6 p.m. reservation, arrived a little early, and our table was ready. Never felt rushed, and we ordered multiple times during our visit. Two waitresses even sang Happy Birthday to our senior guest who was delighted!! Can't wait to return for more delicious food. Next time we'll sit at the counter and watch the Sushi chefs. This was my second visit to Wafu, and I've been telling friends about it. Hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did.
