If you’re anywhere near Auburndale, you absolutely have to try Wakame Japanese and Thai Cuisine — this place is phenomenal!
The flavors are incredible across the board. The sushi rolls are fresh, beautifully prepared, and packed with flavor — easily some of the best in the area. The seaweed salad is a standout too: perfectly seasoned, crisp, and refreshing. Every dish tastes like it’s made with care and high-quality ingredients.
What really made the experience exceptional, though, was the service. Alli was amazing — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. She made great recommendations and made us feel completely taken care of from start to finish.
Between the awesome sushi, delicious food, relaxing atmosphere, and outstanding service, this place is a total win. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be coming back!

I really liked this restaurant. Gluten free was easy to do. Ask for the special soy sauce! My low sodium friend did not care so much for that version. The Hibachi food was good. The salad was tasty, but, unfortunately, no picture. The sushi eaters loved there choices! Very friendly staff.

The sushi here is unparalleled. My favorite item is the Golden Dragon roll, which has mango and tempura. Even if I’m not getting sushi, the hot food always has a spot in my heart. The Katsu- let me tell you- they don’t mess around. Overall, this is one of my favorite spots to go to dinner with my buddies and I.

Tried this place for the first time. We loved everything about it.
The place is cozy and the service is great.
We took our time to look at the menu and decided to go with a Super Poke Bowl and a Chicken Udon. Both dishes were of good portions and flavorful. My steak could have had a bit of salt but I’m really did not bother me since it is easier to add salt than remove it.
Waiting time for our food was normal and really no complaints. Definitely would come back if we are in the area.
