The food here is absolutely amazing, and the cook deserves five stars for doing an EXCELLENT job!…read moreMy mother and I visited today, and everything we ate tasted wonderful. Unfortunately, the two women working the front register completely ruined the experience and made us never want to go back. When we first arrived, both employees were glued to their phones. We had to struggle just to get their attention to ask a basic question about the ordering kiosk. Because we were paying with cash, we had to order directly at the register, but the cashier acted like she wasn't even listening to us. Later, I needed to go back up to the counter to ask for a second plate. My mom and I were splitting our lunch--we intentionally ordered a large portion and an extra side of rice to do this--but the cashier rudely snapped at me, saying she had "already given me a plate." (She only gave us one.) To make matters worse, the front-of-house environment felt incredibly unprofessional. At one point, the cashier had her top pulled up and her pants pulled down around her hips to show off a stomach tattoo to her coworker right at the counter. After the interaction, she was so incredibly rude that we could actually hear her talking about us all the way from our table. It is incredibly sad that such talented kitchen staff and great food are being dragged down by such terrible, unprofessional customer service at the front. Management really needs to address this

Wako Roll was a real treat. After a long drive, I was tired and wanted something simple and fast…read moreso I could get to my hotel and recover. What I found was a great little sushi joint that had some interesting Asian twists to follow along. When I arrived, the dining area was fairly busy, yet felt comfortable in the modern Asian restaurant style, slightly reminiscent of a Pei-Wei. I admit, I can't do this place justice because I was tired and did not get enough photos of the place. Even though I hate using order yourself kiosk, I can't complain much about the ones at Wako Roll. The system provides you good images of the items you are selecting and easy ways to substitute or add ingredients or modify your order. The menu offers a wide variety of Korean dishes including bibimbap and various varieties of bulgogi, but what caught my eyes were the Wako Roll Tacos. I ordered a Bulgogi Taco and a Spicy Pork Taco, plus a California Roll for good measure. The tacos were larger than I expected and served in a common street taco style, but LOADED with ingredients. The meat was juicy and flavorful, and the fresh vegetables added the perfect crunch. What really surprised me was the California Roll, a basic sushi staple at every sushi bar worth its name. The roll was larger than expected, tasted wonderful, was clearly freshly made, and STUFFED with a marinated, shredded crab that was an unexpected treat. For the price, of $7 it was far better than I expected it to be. Traveling through Waco anytime soon? Stop at Wako Roll and try something out. Chances are, you will not be disappointed.

The employees who have served us were all helpful, friendly, and well-mannered. One experience was when I couldn't see what ingredients were in the containers.

If anything, the most colorful part would be the food and drinks. There's an app for them. I'm collecting points!

Long version: Fresh seafood served with bright citrus and crisp veggies is a recipe for success. With shrimp and Mahi-mahi as the staples, this food truck honors ocean sustainability and local suppliers. We arrived late during a special event evening and the CDM crew was almost sold out. But they were eager to please with what they had and honest about where they were. The Pacifica mixed ceviche bowl was AMAZING. I'm not kidding. Mango, pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, and lime for days. Shrimp & Mahi were perfectly balanced, tender, and tangy. I highly recommend this truck, and I do not like most mobile eateries.

Came here with my sisters expecting a great dining experience and left completely disappointed…read more Hostesses were fake and borderline condescending right from the start. We kept it simple with apps and drinks, and even that was a letdown. The calamari came out lukewarm with zero flavor. Crab cakes were also barely warm (they tasted okay, but still shouldn't be served like that). The worst part was the lobster bisque--bland, lukewarm, and honestly tasted like canned soup with a few pieces of "lobster" thrown in. No flavor at all. We didn't complain, but the manager came over after noticing it wasn't touched and said the chef was "trying something different"... it didn't work. Even a guest next to us overheard and said the quality has gone downhill--she had sent hers back too. The only good thing was the drinks--dirty vodka martinis were solid. Overall, not worth the price. We won't be back.

My family had dinner here this past weekend…read more The setting is a nice, upscale steakhouse. Warning that parking was a bit hard to find. Even though the parking lot is large, it was packed when we got there (our dinner was 6:30 on a Friday night). The service was good (a bit more on that later). We had: Lobster S'cargot (4/5) - Lobster served with the traditional s'cargot sauce even on the s'cargot dish. Pretty good but very rich. When it first came out, we thought it as being served in a hollowed out bowl but given it's served on the s'cargot dish, the portion size is actually pretty small. Akaushi New York Strip (5/5) - The better steak of the night. Very good version of the NY strip, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. 10-oz Cold Lobster Tail (5/5) - I added this to make my entre "surf and turf." Delicious and presented in an awesome manner! Akaushi Rib-Eye (3.5/5) - This was an "off-the-menu" special. The waitress brought out a big platter with the specials of the day (6 various cuts of beef). We were told one of these was the Akaushi rib-eye served bone-in. The steak looked great raw (well marbled and 3/4 inch thick). This is not what we got. What we got was not bone-in and the steak was very thin (more like 1/4 inch cut). Putting gross weight aside, looked nothing like what we were presented. We did not say anything as the steak itself was okay. I have a feeling the waitress told us the wrong thing. Cajun Pasta (3/5) - Seasoning and flavor was okay but the pasta was severely overcooked. Overall, a pretty good meal for our trip.

This franchise stands out above the rest in freshness and flavor. Everything tasted like it was made with real care, not just cranked out. The staff were so friendly and accommodating!! I ordered my go to choice, the Mix Grill Plate, and it blew me away. The meats were perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and served in generous portions. As for the macaroni salad? It's hands down the best I've had at any of their locations I've visited. It was creamy, well-balanced, and the perfect complement to the hearty plate. If you're in Waco and even slightly considering it, just go. This location sets the bar high.
