Terrible experience. They forgot my girlfriend’s ramen and never came by to refill our water the entire time. When we reminded them, it took another 30 minutes for her food to come out — even though other tables got theirs first. The rice was also really dry. Definitely not coming back.

Celebrated my daughter’s birthday here. The tatami table was well worth the reservation. Xavier treated us like royalty and made my daughter feel extra special. The food is impeccable, atmosphere is welcoming and right in the heart of IC which is always a pleasure to visit. We come often when in the area, delicious! Thank you!

If you love insanely sticky salt shakers and basically that oh so un-authentic Japanese experience of everything feeling like it needs a wipe down then this is the place for you.
Short version – over priced soggy small portion and they need to wipe everything down and change the oil in the fryers its the first thing you smell when you enter. Bathrooms were clean ! Service was Great, but everything is STICKY
If you think I’m harsh in this review then don’t read my Kansai born and raised wife’s review. I get it I’m in BK not Osaka ( go Tigers) or Tokyo ( F the Giants) , but the food is better and cheaper in the attached food court at Japan Village. I got the chicken Katsu and garlic fried potato’s the fries were $8 and there were 5 wedges, meaning I paid $1.60 per French Fry see attached pics. My wife’s noodles were not hot and the portion was tiny for $18, my Katsu maybe was made to order but it was soggy. If there’s one thing I know from Japanese restaurants both here and in Japan, its cleanliness, and crispy crunchy things should’t be soggy. But I can’t blame a place for capitalizing on the “Japan Village ” novelty and hiking the price. Do yourself a favor and wait in line with all the Anime and Cosplay kids in th food court, yeah the counters are still sticky but you’ll pay half the price and your crunchy food will be crunchy !!

My wife and I were looking for a quieter restaurant to eat at as the Japan Village was a little too crowded for us, and this place was a nice respite. The skewers were all really good, but we loved the duck one the most. The pork & scallion and chicken thigh & scallion were also highlights. The beef and pork belly were okay. My wife loved her soba, and also got the deep fried beef skewer. All in all a nice stop for food, and relatively reasonably priced!

I’d never eaten corn tempura and enjoyed it so much here. The pickles were excellent. And the potato salad is tasty and a bit different.
My family liked their food very much too.

I’ve been to Wakuwaku a few times and always loved the food, so I brought friends for the first time—but the service was terrible. Our Hispanic server (never introduced himself) was rude, snatched menus from our hands, and refused to accommodate a shrimp allergy with a simple substitution. He ignored us most of the night, took away our plates even though we were sharing food, and didn’t seem to know how to use the card machine. The place was clearly understaffed, and the table next to us waited 20+ minutes just to pay. Great food, but the service completely ruined the experience.

Love this place, come here often with the family: great food, great service, and nice ambiance for a relaxed family meal with kids. All staff members are extremely friendly: Xavier is extra fun and always has spot-on recommendations for the newest specials, both food and drinks. Highly recommended!

The food is just ordinary I would say. It was our first time here. Better food served just outside on the food court. Service was excellent, prices little on higher side. But they have nice bar on the side. Great place to have a date. Also they have those Japanese rooms, but it should be reserved in advance and I believe they cost fee.

I love this place!! I am not sure why the ratings are a little low but everything is really tasty! The food here was on small plates but they were YUMMY! Sashimi was fresh, fried chickens were juicy and steamy, and the short rib special was tender and delicious. Our server was very friendly as well. We also had happy hour beer which was only 6$ for draft. Great deal! We will come back.
