    Wako Roll - Bulgogi Taco (Right) and Spicy Pork Taco (Left)

    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.

    Wako Roll - The replacement piece of fish that flew off the board when the staff member set the food down. Why is it so stiff defying gravity ??

    If you're looking for Chinese noodle cuisine in Waco, this is it! I'm coming from California, so…read moreit was nice to have this authentic place. We tried the stir fry sliced noodles, potstickers, pan fried meat buns (bao), soup dumplings, spicy beef noodle soup with hand pulled noodles. I highly recommend the pan fried meat buns which are huge! The fluffiness of the dough is the right texture. I also highly recommend the stir fry sliced noodles. This is was on point for the texture of the noodles and how this dish really should be. This is a signature dish of northern China. The spicy beef noodle soup had the spicy heat but it was not too spicy. This was more like the China version of this soup with beef pieces vs the Taiwanese version with braised beef shank slices. It had the nice addiction of bok choy, which is a staple. But also had sliced carrots and shiitake mushrooms. The hand pulled noodles of this dish was definitely the highlight and were the real deal. Long and great texture. The potstickers had wrappers that were notably thinner and a ton of meat inside. This tasted more like Korean mandu dumplings. The soup dumplings were also bigger than what is typically had in California. The wrappers were not as super thin on these (probably due to the size) and was not as super juicy, but I'm comparing to the pinnacle of soup dumplings from Ding Tai Fung in California. Staff was super friendly and checked on us a couple of times. I'd definitely would come back.

    Okay I came here about 3 months ago and tried this place and thought I ordered the wrong thing I…read morejust didn't like what I ordered. It was the shrimp tempura and the stir fry noodles. Service was great as well and clean place. I decided to try it again and fell in love with their noodle soups, vegtable fried rice and the service was amazing!! Food was out within literally maybe 7 mins!! Staff is very nice food is amazing and reasonable pricing for the amount of food that you get!! IM IN LOVE AND WILL BE BACK!! So excited I came back and got to try it again and loved it because my husband loves this place!!
