I see yelp treats wagaya grocery the same as the restaurant but there's a separate listing for it on Google but the grocery is in the back of the restaurant and you get to it by taking the stairs to the left of the front door down to the basement They have some items I missed from Japan that I don't recall seeing in teso like the pudding with the flap in the bottom to make it pop out Their prices are higher than stores in Duluth but could be due to area as much as anything else It's a small shop but they have a good selection! They do have a credit card minimum and they don't take cash so you'll have to get more a little after dinner dessert here But they have shiso leaves, sashimi, ice cream, snacks and toys It's a good variety for the size and a nice stop before or after dinner at one of the restaurants above! The parking is minimal and in the back for wagaya. We are at chirori so parked in their spare lot before making a brief stop here read more

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. read more

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. read more

Stopped in for a girls' lunch and we were impressed! Everything is cooked to order, and tastes fresh . There was plenty of seating available, and the atmosphere was clean. I tried the plum wine, which was a good choice. The Ramen was great- flavorful, but a fair warning: the 'spicy ' level is no joke! It had my nose running, so I'll probably dial it back next time. Great service and a solid experience overall! . read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I came here for my birthday last month. Parking was a bit difficult to figure out but there is a small lot behind the restaurant and a cute little grocery store attached to it with tons of Asian food items. The service was really good. I was offered to go drinks without asking and the server was very attentive. The food was good, although I felt like it was more on the bland side for sushi but certainly not bad. I'd come here again. read more

Amazing food. Great staff. Good vibes. If you want solid Japanese food outside of just sushi this is a place to visit.

The $21 ramen and sushi lunch special is top tier. You have about 3 ramen and 4 sushi rolls choices. I went with the tonkatsu ramen and salmon and yellowtail crunchy rolls. The rice to fish ratio was perfect! The fish tasted super fresh. The ramen is top 3 on my list. The broth was rich and creamy! Flavorful all around. I will definitely be a regular here. 10/10 There's limited parking on the rear of the building. The decoration feels like authentic Japanese. The service was great! My only concern is the health violations but, overall great experience with delicious food. read more

Walking into this place, you will feel transported to japan! The feel of this place is such a vibe. The food tasted very authentic and the quality of the sashimi they had was great especially for the price. We went during lunch hour, so it was very busy, so we were giving a lot of grace to the servers, but unfortunately the waitress we had I think was overwhelmed with the rush and didnt give us the best service. No big deal tho, people have their off days. I would still come back! read more

I absolutely love this place! The first thing I noticed that the fish was very fresh and the servers were all very friendly and accommodating. It gets pretty busy here since it's close to Georgia Techs campus but we were seated immediately and also got our food quickly. The prices here are very affordable and most of the specialty sushi rolls are between $10-20. I would highly recommend the Green Typhoon roll ($14) and the takoyaki ($6) as an appetizer. There is a free parking lot behind the restaurant but it is shared between 2 other restaurants and spots are pretty limited. But there is street parking pretty close by as well. There's also a small Japanese grocery store in the back of the restaurant that you'll see on the walk to the restaurant if you park in the lot! Apparently it's the only Japanese grocery store in midtown. Overall i had a great experience and will definitely be back to try the ramen or other sushi rolls! read more

This is currently my boyfriend's favorite Ramen shop. I've been here 3 times now. Once, to the Decatur location and last year for my birthday. The parking lot is kind of small so be mindful of that when you come. The space is very dim so it makes it kinda hard to see. Our server was nice and everything came out quickly. We'll definitely be here again. read more

I haven't been to Wagaya in awhile and my trip there recently reminded me of how much I love them! It was a big group of us and luckily they were able to sit us. They were busy on a Monday night too. Parking there could be a pain but street parking is also available. It took us awhile to figure out what we wanted to order. Wish I got our server's name but she was super patient with us. We got a bunch of sushi rolls whose names I don't remember. For my entree, I ordered the hitsumabushi. It was beautifully played that came with a big piece of fatty eel and a heaping amount of rice in a stone bowl. They provided condiments of seaweed, green onions and wasabi. Plus the dashi broth in the most beautiful pot. I ordered since to get out of my comfort zone since I always tend to order sushi; this was definitely worth getting. By the way, we dined here to celebrate a birthday and I walked in carrying a cake. They charge $50 for a cake fee but they keep the cake refrigerated and provide serving utensils. We did not know this but opted to eat our cake elsewhere. read more

Decided to try Wagaya on a random Friday and I'm so glad we did! Quaint little spot so a wait may occur but it moved relatively fast for a Friday evening. My party of two was seated after a brief fifteen minute wait. The first thing that caught my eye was their amazing dinner plate deals. I mean, where else in Atlanta can you get two sushi rolls AND ramen for $25? It was such a steal. Sure, their rolls were the basic rolls but it definitely helped satisfy my ramen and sushi craving. I'm definitely coming back to check out their specialty rolls though! read more

Wagaya - Westside - Tonkatsu Spicy Tuna Roll Crunchy Yellowtail Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I came here while looking for some Japanese food around downtown Atlanta. I did have difficulty finding parking, but I expected that from the big city. I ended up parking at a nearby parking garage and then walking to the storefront. I got their tonkatsu ramen (with chili oil on the side) and sushi meal set that cost ~$25 at the time of this review. It came with the bowl of tonkatsu ramen, a 6-pc California roll, 6-pc sashimi (salmon, tuna, and I believe yellowtail?), and a side of rice. I thought it was a lot of food for the price considering the type of food and the location. I definitely had leftovers after the meal. I thought the tonkatsu ramen was one of the best that I've had in a while. The broth was super savory, but not too salty. The noodles were well-cooked and the ramen egg was the perfect gel-like consistency. The chashu was pretty good too, but I didn't think it was as good as the other components of the ramen. The sushi was also super fresh. The meat held together very well and there was not too much fishiness to them. If I'm in the area and am craving some sushi or ramen, I'll probably come back again to try out another set menu! read more

You can find Wa-Ga-Ya at 339 14th St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 just west of I85 - it's in the middle of a small line of connected storefronts. There's parking in the back - probably room for about 10 or so vehicles so during lunch and dinner times it's jammed up (people park on the drive climbing up the hill). We ended up parking along the street about a block away (easy walk) - the street parking appears to only be limited to evenings. Came here as a recommendation from my friend Chris who visits the Japanese market beneath the restaurant (more on that later). The restaurant is fairly small so limited seating - the day we went we stopped in after visiting the phenomenal Samurai Armor exhibit at the High (highest recommendation from me). We sat towards the front (the host stand was right behind me) - we were greeted and seated immediately. The interior has the usual Asian motif with exposed rafters and a finished ceiling over the sushi chefs The three of us went straight for lunch items and a couple of draft Sapporo - I asked for Asahi Dry but none to be found here. I sipped my wife's draft and it was surprisingly good (I should have gotten one for myself but demurred). As usual for me I sampled the spicy tonkotsu ramen (it was called "ramen + 2" on the menu and came with a few smallish rolls - California and crunchy salmon I selected from four available). The broth was very flavorful and noodles spot-on - I did find myself wanting a bit more chasu pork but otherwise quite good. My wife ordered what was basically a bento box (Nigiri Sushi Lunch - Tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp plus California roll and Tempura). My wife commented on how good the tempura was and after taking a bite I agreed. Chris ordered the Nigiri Deluxe and was also very happy with it, commenting on the freshness of all the fish. In all the food was very good and the service good (our server got busy so maybe not as attentive as he could have been - no fault of his). Beneath the restaurant is a Japanese market with many items chilled for immediate consumption - I have a rather great selection available to me near my home at BufHwy Farmers Market but did spot a few things that aren't available there (much more poki selection, for instance). Nice to be able to sample cold Japanese beers - we ended up not buying but now that I know this is here I'm sure I'll visit again. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while. It's right up the street from where I work. Got the tonkatsu and gyoza. The ramen was way too salty and the gyoza tasted like onions.

The experience as great! Nice atmosphere, fast service, and great food for the value (the bento box you see was $23). Only downside I could state is the wall partition between some of the seats and bathroom door is a bit close so you hear the door opening and closing. Otherwise, it doesn't get too loud bc of the small space. Definitely coming back! read more

The ambiance of this place is cozy and cute when you step in! We were recommended this restaurant by a friend and decided to try it out for my birthday since my favorite food is sushi. Sadly, the only good thing I can say about this place is the ambiance. The service was not great. I ordered a Diet Coke and got regular, and it took forever for us to get a different drink. We were not greeted when we sat down; we were just immediately asked if we were ready to order. The whole time it felt like the server was bothered by us asking him for anything. The food itself was also not good. I got teriyaki salmon and it was super dry and unseasoned. We also got the crispy tuna, and the rice was over fried. Additionally, I got the sashimi and nigiri and both were tough when they should just melt in your mouth. I'd stay clear of here if you're looking for good sushi. read more

Food was standard and good! Nothing outstanding, but I love a consistent place. Pork gyoza (8/10): juicy, flavorful, wish they had a bit more of a crunch at the bottom! Takoyaki (7/10): octopus chunk was small inside, but good nonetheless! Yellowtail roll (10/10): loved the scallion addition to the roll, gave it a bit of extra flavor. Yellowtail was good, fresh. Spider roll (7/10): batter on the crab was a bit soggy, but very standard without too much rice in the roll. Service was okay, our waiter was not very attentive and I had to walk up to him to get the check. It wasn't really busy when we went, but they have lots of seating and can probably hold a larger party! Nice place to go if you want a quick fix of sushi near Georgia Tech at a reasonable, affordable price. read more

This is a great spot in the Midtown area. With authentic Japanese cuisine and a matching ambiance to go with it. I can always recommend their curry and katsu choices, but you'll never go wrong with the ramen. My servers have always been solid, never any complaints from me since the store is small you are given much attention. Sometimes the tempura is inconsistently cooked but that is a minor gripe, maybe just me being picky lol. 7/10 great choice read more

Decided to try something new. Looking for more sushi spots. This one was pretty good. Parking can be an issue so be aware. There is street parking and a valet lot about a block up. It's a pretty small restaurant with a store downstairs. The service was fast and friendly. I order plum wine and when I got my cup it had lipstick on it. I know lipstick can be hard to get out of things so I just politely sent it back. I have always wants to try onigiri so we ordered that for an appetizer. I was disappointed with the amount of salmon on the inside. It was pretty much just a bunch of rice. The sushi we order was delicious though. Get the Three Jewels if you like basic rolls. Three rolls for $17 is a great deal. The Firecracker was my favorite. read more

The fish they used was great quality. Definitely a great to be for people who want legit nigiri/sashimi. Service was good, and the ambiance was alright.

Definitely amazing that they had free parking for customers in the back, and it was cool to see that they had a tiny mart as well read more

All of the food here is very decently priced and generously served! I ordered the udon and katsudon combo and it was like $18 before tax and tip. But it honestly could have served as two different meals. That being said, the food itself is good but not that special in my opinion. The udon was very typical, but still delicious. The katsu was really yummy. The egg on the meat added a softness and sweetness that I really liked. But the rice underneath was kind of plain. I ended up just using some of the udon broth on the rice. And I love the way they put chili powder on the side in a cute little container. The takoyaki was also good! The outside was nice and crispy while the inside was soft without being mushy or soggy. Overall, you'll get a good meal for a decent price. But it doesn't really blow your mind. But keep in mind, I only tried two dishes. I would love to go back to try out more food to make a more comprehensive verdict. And don't forget to check out the grocery store downstairs! It's very cute and has a lot of cool Japanese desserts and candy. read more
