Washoku

Great start! Server gave us a tempura as new comers! Great service and awesome food ?

We like a lot hanging out. Yesterday we came to this superb place which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a lovely experience there with great meal and a nice team and an impressive chef. We put this fine restaurant in our list and we shall certainly come back soon. We highly recommend.

Great food with Great atmosphere. Felt like I was actually eating ramen in Japan.

Good new All you can eat sushi restaurant replaces for the old Wasabi. Food are super fresh and delicious. Big portions of food. Hope they can keep this good situation from now on, not just couple months when they start opening back again. Suprised with these bad review. Give them a try and you wont be down.

Washoku revamped its establishment from having 2 restaurants (Chako/Wasabi) to having 4. This restaurant is inspired by "alleyway dining in the streets of Japan"The 4 restaurants in Washoku are Chako (Barbeque), Ninja (Teppenyaki), Hinoki (Izakaya), and Ichi Potto (Ramen/Shabu Shabu). **DISCLAIMER - This review is only for Ichi Potto, Have not tried the other restaurants yet in Washoku and will continuely update my rating in other reviews** First thing I gotta talk about Ichi Potto is the atmosphere. Once you get into the Ichi Potto part of the restaurant you are welcomed with a Rustic Japanese decor with ropes hanging off wooden posts, japanese seafood poster ads on the wooden walls and an instagram worthy backdrop of Sake containers. The feel and look of Ichi Potto really does add to the whole feel of the japanese atmosphere. However the menus we got was just a printed double sided piece of paper. Note Drinks are Refillable when purchased Continuing on, my girlfriend and I ordered Takoyaki ($5.99), the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen ($11.95) for myself and the Seafood Dashi Shabu Shabu ($20.95) for my girlfriend. I'll be upfront with it now, the portion sizes and amount you get for the price is pretty expensive in my opinion. The Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen was good but not really worth while. The things I enjoyed about this Ramen were the bouncy/chewy noodles and the tender marinated pork BBQ. Other than that, I would say that the broth of the ramen wasn't necessarily bland, but I would say subtle and could be better. One of my gripes about the broth as well is that I ordered it spicy, but it was not spicy at all, especially considering my girlfriend being sensitive to spicy food also didn't find it spicy at all. I would say that it has SPICES in it but not necessarily SPICY. My main complaint about this Ramen is that it comes in a small bowl and for the price point of $11.95, I'd expect to be satisfied but was still very hungry afterwards. I would honestly go to another place for Ramen to get a better bang for your buck. Now onto the Seafood Shabu Shabu, this meal also includes a green salad, 4 pcs California Roll and Dessert. The Shabu Shabu in itself comes in a tray with the hotpot and various dishes, importantly I would say that this is fit for 1 person. The thing about the Shabu Shabu is just like the Ramen, and I feel as if you are not getting your best bang for your buck with the amount of food you get. Don't get me wrong the, it is a great experience but the ingredients you do get are not really amazing. realistically for the seafood, you get 2 sashimi salmon, 2 scallop, 4 shrimps, 2 tofu, 3 types of mushrooms (enoki, head and another long mushroom) and 4 pcs variation of fishballs. It came with 2 sauces which is abysmal for a hot pot, soy sauce and shrimp cocktail sauce. All in all, it did not fill my girlfriends appetite at all (possibly because I ate some of her california rolls but still... Like I said with the Ramen, you could easily go to another hot pot place to have more variety, better quality ingredients and "more bang for your buck". If anything the Takoyaki is the most sensible thing we ordered. It comes in with 6 pieces and is at at a reasonable price point of $5.99. The only thing is, is that it I had to ask for the sauce and it seemed like it was deep friend. It was crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside which was honestly pretty enjoyable. My final thoughts over Ichi Potta is that I wouldn't recommend having either the Ramen or Hot Pot at this location. I feel as if you can go to a restaurant that specializes in both these dishes separately for a better price and a more filling portion for a way better price (at the same time, not sure if the minimum wage increase has an effect on the prices but it's pretty expensive for what you are really getting). I wouldn't come back to this part of the restaurant but will definitely try the other restaurants.

Awesome restaurant, the sushi was really fresh and well made, the rice, the chicken, the beef and everything else was delicious. The service was amazing as well, the server was happy and helpful. The atmosphere was really nice as well. Would totally recommend it to anyone.

Very good food! We went to Chako and it was like Korean bbq. It's in a great location - Watch a movie then grab some dinner. The beef and lamb was amazing, but everything was delicious. Service was great - like a cruise ship! There is not the widest variety of veggies, so definitely not a vegetarian place. There is a weekend only menu with extra things not available on weekdays. (Friday counts as the weekend, too!) Overall great place for the price. $27.99 per person, but it is all you can eat. Would definitely recommend this resteraunt if you love meat!

The food was okay. Ordered the spicy miso pork. Broth had flavour but I wish there was more meat/fish cakes. Only had one small slice of pork. The ambience was good and the waiter was welcoming. There is a 10% service charge added to your bill. We were given the bill after I had already paid and tipped so I wasn't aware of the charge. Just wanted to let you know so that you won't be surprised like I was.
