Wakamono — reliable japanese in Lakeview. Order the Ginger Martini. Nothing about this place is trying to impress you, and that's the point. "All the fish was buttery and fresh" — Alex Rudie

“Absolutely delicious food but extremely slow service”
Today was a Sunday, and we decided to explore.
Didn't have a good experience here. Service was pretty bad despite that there were only a few people dining.
Pretty underwhelmed by this meal. Quality and quantity of sushi just wasn't impressive, especially given the price.

“I had a great first time at Wakamono.”
I had a great first time at Wakamono! We have been to Wangs next door many times but never had the chance to go here. Everything was phenomenal , from the service and the food. We definitely recommend the gyoza, so fresh and unique. Will definitely be back!

“Been here a couple of times.”
Been here a couple of times. Great food service and vibe. Vibe is more fancy than casual (but there is no dress code or something like that). I had here: Sake, Mango Mojito, Edamame, Scallion Pancakes, couple of roles, Chicken Teriyaki bowl, Yakisoba, Chicken Katsu Curry, pot stickers, some fish dish and more that I don't remember. All were good but the highlight for me was the Katsu and the Yakisoba. Highly recommend 👌

“Great sushi here.”
Great sushi here! Green turtle was our favorite. They provide an appetizer and a parting dessert, which is nice. The outdoor tables are fairly small, which is our only noteworthy downside.

Some of the best sushi in the neighborhood: check the daily specials, there’s always an off-menu app and sushi roll which is worth ordering - cocktails on the sweet side, but the adjoining bar, Wangs, has a great selection of drinks Thank you Mild for taking care of us! It was so busy and you made time for us

“Such a great spot to grab a bite to eat.”
Such a great spot to grab a bite to eat! I stopped here on a whim and can’t believe my luck. The food is amazing and the staff is extremely great. Drinks were just as good! Please do yourself a favor and stop in!

“Food was yummy, company was wonderful, vibes were immaculate, service was top notch.”
Food was yummy, company was wonderful, vibes were immaculate, service was top notch. I ordered chicken buttered rice & Hidden Dragon roll. Wifey got Rock & Roll & another one; friends got seaweed salad & sashimi. We unexpectedly got dessert too which was a nice treat 🐟 🍫 Literally never in this area so highly doubt I would return but would certainly recommend to folks nearby.

“Love this place, had our first anniversary here and came back a few days ago to bring out of town friends.”
Love this place, had our first anniversary here and came back a few days ago to bring out of town friends. It has fancy vibes in a friendly neighborhood. The atmosphere is amazing. Highly recommended the lobster slider and the chef’s sashimi plate! The spicy edamame had good flavors while the seaweed salad lacked freshness to it. Must try the heaven & earth dessert!! Overall a great restaurant and would come back again!

Amazing atmosphere and great service. Staff was very helpful and kind. Best sushi I’ve had in a long time. Peter Parker was mind blowing.
