Best WLM Reviews

I have dined at this restaurant more than 5 times. It’s a charming sushi restaurant with around 10-15 tables, and the experience was always delightful.
The small size created an intimate atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the expertly crafted special rolls. Each bite was a burst of flavors, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity. The freshness of the ingredients elevated the overall dining experience. The quantity is very good and the you get a very good value for money. I will gladly pay 20% more for this type of food.
The attentive staff and cozy ambiance make this hidden gem a must-try for sushi enthusiasts.
Restrooms are clean and diaper changing station is available. Abundant parking available in the same building, just behind the restaurant.
We love to try new places for sushi and this was our first time. I wouldn’t say it was the best place but it wasn’t bad . Sushi choices are good and service can be slow but overall good.
Great services with a large selection Japanese foods. The restaurant is nice and clean, nice and friendly staff.
The food was amazing, service was good, and the atmosphere was okay. There's a variety of sushi rolls, great quality, and decent prices. Plum wine was amazing as always.
We got three rolls: Zen baked roll, Japanese bagel roll, and Japanese firecracker. The Zen baked roll is an experience. Highly recommend it!
Fresh and very tasty. Loved the selection of different types of rolls. Everything was excellent. Try the gyoza soup! Really good.
Ordered a couple hours in advance with specifications. My order was made to perfection and the tastiest, freshest sushi I have ever had. Can't wait to dine in next time!
This is my favorite neighborhood restaurant. Always very good service and food. The happy hour nigiri special is always a hit in my family. I do avoid some of the rolls because they are a little too sweet for my taste
For 2 people, we love to order the sweet potato and avocado roll (underrated item), spider roll, white tuna and avocado roll, and tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and scallop nigiri. The scallop nigiri is my absolute favorite item on the menu and I would recommend trying it.
This sushi restaurant it was fine, no more than that. They have good prices but the food it doesn't feel like fresh food. It's better to come in the happy hour time (5:00 - 7:00 pm) with some friends and enjoy the moment here.
About the waiters, they are very kind and respectfully with good customer service.
