Food: Unimaginative yet palatable

The food at Sushi Wazen is a mix of the good, the bad and the unexciting. There's a lacking originality in the presentation, yet the chefs seem to put in some effort. Some food items often fall underwhelming in terms of taste, but the generous portions of fresh, high-quality ingredients help balance it out. The limited selections and confusing menus, however, might leave your palate disinterested.

  • Almost Creative

    Menu items tasty, chefs care, but lack of originality in presentation.

  • Bad Variety

    Multiple menus confusing, limited selections, and 'hit or miss' items.

Vibe: Dampening dining atmosphere

The vibe at this restaurant leaves much to be desired. The cramped space and bland exterior do not do much for an enjoyable dining atmosphere. Couples seeking a nice date night may find the long wait times and poor service a turn-off. Even the drinks take their sweet time to arrive. There is just something unremarkable that saps the trendiness out of this place.

  • Bad For Dates

    Wait times and poor service disrupt the intimate date night experience.

Perks: Exasperating service and convenience

The perks at this sushi joint need some major spicing up. The disruptive noise level is just the tip of the iceberg. Expect to be ignored for minutes, struggle to get seated or place an order — a situation that gets even worse for large groups. The restaurant is small and not really child-friendly. The service is particularly slow when the place is packed, adding more salt to the wound.

  • Easy To Park

    Parking easy and ample, enhances the dining experience significantly.

  • Bad For Kids

    Small establishment not ideal for children who need space to roam.
