    One of my favorite spots in Atlanta to get sushi and ramen. The food here is delicious and the service is great. Its smaller on the inside but very cozy, there is a small parking lot so carpool if you can but you can park across the street.

    The service was amazing. The food was great. The restaurant was clean. The food came out fast and it was hot.

    Good food and kind service. The setup inside has a traditional casual feel to it. This was my first time trying tofu, been looking forward to it for a while. Prices here are pretty reasonable, so I'd recommend trying the place at least once! I really enjoyed the "kiss of Juju" roll here; the strawberries really added something to the flavor profile and made it really refreshing. We had crispy rice, agedashi tofu, pork gyoza, fried oysters, and the yellow jacket and kiss of juju roll, and it was all good. We finished off with the green tea ice cream at the end.

    Cozy little gem with amazing food! The fried squid legs were crispy and addictive. Sashimi was super fresh and buttery. The stone bowl eel rice had that perfect crispy bottom, and pouring in the dashi broth = pure umami magic The agedashi tofu with mochi was so special -- they fry both the tofu and mochi, then serve it in a light broth. Chewy, crispy, and comforting all at once! The tonkatsu ramen had a rich, thick broth that wasn't greasy at all. Oh, and don't skip the fried ebi head -- crunchy and full of flavor! Call ahead -- it's a tiny spot, but they have free parking in the back. Already dreaming about my next visit!

    We walked in and this place was packed even with people waiting. We just KNEW it had to be bomb! We waited for about 35 minutes but went down to the grocery store just to explore. We got seated and the for our waiter Brandon who was extra cool. Very helpful in what we were looking for and helped with the menu. Th place not only had some of the best ramen I have personally tasted, but their combo items and prices are very reasonable. You won't break the bank here at all. Even if you don't like ramen or sushi, you will find something on the menu you enjoy. There are so many different choices, it's endless and everyone dining will be happy. The decor of the place was pretty cool as well. It was a clean restaurant and again the waitstaff as a whole was phenomenal. Most definitely on my return list.

    I'll keep this short. Great Japanese restaurant. Brought back a lot of memories from college days. Good ramen, fresh sushi and sashimi. Service is great.

    Additional parking

    Delicious, cute, reasonably priced. I had curry ramen. Noodles were not thick but had good texture. Two people for lunch, $40. Clean, attentive, prompt, fun! Grocery store has cute Sanrio and Studio Ghibli items. Little parking lot behind restaurant and overflow parking available on next block. Permit parking in adjacent residential neighborhood.

    This place is so fun. The interior Decor is very Japanese festival style. They have so many interesting sushi rolls and my girlfriend who is gluten-free was easily able to find things to have. Below the restaurant is a shop where you can get Japanese ingredients and fun import items.

    Traditional Dinner Set
    Courtland M.

    I came to Wagaya yesterday with my partner after a long day of labor and was ravenous. The interior is very cute and snug with many wooden two top, four top, and bench tables as well as sushi bar seating. I ordered the traditional dinner set with salmon and nigiri. All of the fish in the sashimi and nigiri tasted very fresh! The vegetables in the tempura were cooked just right (you know how they can be undercooked and hard or overcooked and turn to mush). The tempura dipping sauce was also delicious. Salty, slightly sweet, not watered down at all. The salmon teriyaki was slightly overdone for my taste, but I didn't ask for a specific temperature so I really do not mind. My partner ordered the tonkatsu ramen and pork katsu combo. The ramen was all that you'd hope for in tonkatsu--salty, creamy, deeply umami. The pork katsu was picture perfect. I said to my partner it looked like a wax display. The katsu was beautifully fried and also tasted very fresh. I was very full Our server was very fast, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. I will be back very soon!

    Katsu Curry, swirling eel roll, 1 piece of Green Typhoon "Midori no Taifu", miso soup
    Tia R.

    Loved my dinner tonight. Parking was a bit scarce but we found a spot on the street. This is a busy little place but it still has room for larger parties (6 people). I ordered the swirling eel and the green typhoon rolls along with the chicken katsu curry. They placed a chopped up red pickle on the curry plate, delicious. But if you want more of it, you have to pay $2. I didn't think that was worth it. Along with a green tea the meal came to around $55. I'll definitely be back. Come here with friends or on a third date when you're more familiar. It's a little loud and not that private otherwise. I passed this place so many times and I'm glad I came in.

    Four Seasons "Shiki"
    Lauren C.

    I had an excellent time here; the service and food were on top! The host/server was super helpful in letting us know how to get our parking validated and what menu items were most popular. I had the Four Seasons Shiki roll, and it tasted as great as it appeared. I'll definitely be back to try some other rolls.

    We love all the combo options here and the difference beer selection, always quick service

    Happy grad !

    I have to brag! My reservation for my daughter's graduation luncheon canceled the day before her graduation. I was a nervous wreck and reached out to the owner via email of this restaurant and ask for them to make a reservation for us. They quickly replied and welcomed us for our large party. I can't tell you how wonderful it was to get a reply so quickly not to mention walking into the restaurant with our large table right in front of the window set up just for us. We felt like total VIPs. It was the perfect setting for my daughter's luncheon because she definitely loves sushi and said is all of her friends. We were all seated comfortably. We had excellent service from Henry. He cleared the plates right away, took our order made sure we were accommodated and everyone in the restaurant congratulated my daughter when she walked in I couldn't have asked for a better place to enjoy our lunch. They let us order multiple orders of sushi drinks plenty of time to relax and enjoy our luncheon. They even took our pictures for us and a lot of us to take pictures outside of the restaurant. We never felt rushed. The service was off the charts. We love the idea of shopping in the grocery store below the restaurant. A huge thank you to Henry for the excellent service a huge thank you to the owner for a common in my last-minute reservation. I highly recommend this company the food. The service was top-notch. Thank you again for making my daughter's graduation super special.

Parking was simple enough and free, albeit a little tight. I love the moody but light interior of this restaurant. It's not particularly upscale, but it is on the nicer end of a casual restaurant. Seating is tight but it didn't detract from the experience. Our table was a little wobbly, though. The bathrooms are tucked away in the very back of the restaurant and were tidy and clean with a nice design. The food was truly delicious. The bao duo was a great starter. We got one with pork, the other chicken. I appreciated that the flavor profiles of each were so different! We also tried the umami rice bowl... perfect seasoning and portion for an app. For ramen I had the truffle shoyu and husband had a spicy tonkotsu. We both added extra protein (pork) because most ramen places play around with the meat portion LOL. But the noodles, the egg, and all the accoutrements were texturally excellent. SO GOOD. They have a few beers on tap, a decent cocktail menu and wine. I grabbed a SauviB and hubs had a beer. It was the perfect balance to all the delicious umami flavors we experienced. Service was lovely as the place is small, and everything was clean. Our tab ran us about $88 before tip so come ready to spend. But the quality was worth it! I'll return when I'm craving ramen.

The broth was flavorful, the noodles were good, and the pork was delicious. My issue was that there was barely any broth -- maybe about a cup -- and it didn't even fill the bowl halfway. For the price, I definitely expected more broth and a little more pork. The flavor was absolutely there, but the portion just didn't match what I paid. I'd probably order it again because it tasted good, but I'd hope for a more generous serving next time.

But somehow, the bowl of ramen is even more beautiful. seriously, it looks like a work of art that I'm clearly afraid to mess up! I went with the Signature Ramen, and this thing absolutely hits the spot. Pork broth, pork belly, ground pork, green onions, soft-boiled egg, seasonal vegetables, and chili oil. On paper, it sounds like a lot going on. In the bowl, everything just works. Every element was executed perfectly. The chew of the noodles, the crunch of the bamboo, the gooey soft-boiled egg, the tenderness of the pork belly--it's all there. And pairing the chashu with the ground pork? Next level. You get two completely different textures and flavors from the pork, and somehow they complement each other perfectly. The broth has that richness you want from a good bowl of ramen without needing to rely on a bunch of extras to make it interesting. The chili oil adds just enough to bring everything together. Honestly, I have nothing more to add here. It's just good. Really good. Sometimes you don't need a long explanation. You just need a bowl of ramen that makes you put the spoon down afterward and say, "Yeah... that was exactly what I needed."

The wasabi lime sauce was really good and the truffle oil was a nice touch. The rice could have been more crisp though. I also had the e signature ramen, which I can see why it won awards. The broth was so goo and on the creamier side. We had a great time here.

I got a tofu rice bowl, which I typically don't get and it was delicious! I asked if the salad could be put on the side rather than in the bowl and was given a full side salad that I wound up mixing into my rice lol. I also added broccoli to the bowl, which I probably wouldn't do again because it was pretty bland, but overall the bowl was good. Now the vegan dumplings... were FANTASTIC! We shared the dumplings and everyone agreed that they were easily the best thing that we had eaten the whole day. The green color threw me off at first, but the crispiness and texture of the dumpling was amazing. I would love to go back and try the ramen to see how it measures up, but again, great experience. Also, when you are paying the check, they bring you a small bucket full of dum dum lollipops, which I thought was a great touch. Me and my adult guests all left like happy children, which is exactly how eating out should make you feel.
