Fantastic experience! Waitress was attentive and chefs were professional and knowledgeable! Will reccomend!
We had, unbeknownst to us, a 30th anniversary dinner at Wa'z. It was Friday, July 15th, and our anniversary is on July 18th, but we told no one it was our anniversary. Wa'z has some app that informs them of patron's birthdays and anniversaries, and they surprise you with a celebratory moment. It was very nice and heartfelt. Yet, the true celebration is about the chef and kitchen at Wa'z because the food is superb, and somehow Wa'z is relatively unknown in a city dependent and motivated by social media. Admittedly, we are neophytes with Japanese cuisine, but every dish served at Wa'z was a taste sensation. Tiny and intimate, (some restaurants are small but not intimate) the staff goes out of its way to make diners comfortable and feel a part of what's going on in the kitchen. We splurged on the $95.00 sake pairing, and by the fourth dish served on the set menu, I was a happy fool. Everyone else dining at Wa'z on this particular evening was Japanese, but we never felt odd or left out. The chef, servers, and diners were all gracious, patiently explaining every dish to the two of us. With a cost of $150.00 per person, plus a 20% service charge, Wa'z is Seattle expensive, but the food and dining experience are worth the expenditure.
The food was delicious, the service was amazing, and the entire place was well worth it. There isnât a place like it
Definitely a rare dining experience - the attention to detail and quality were impeccable. Hesitant eaters would struggle, but if you are open to raw fish and trying new things this was an awesome dinner. We went for a birthday and they gave us a flower bouquet and unique presentation.
Father-in-lawâs birthday
Dishes are too simple, not bad, but nothing to impress. Design and material not on par with the price.
The food is incredibly delicious and beautifully presented - each morsel a delicacy. The service is excellent as well. The decor does not match the caliber of food served and it was a little of a letdown, but the meal did not disappoint and the overall experience was wonderful.
Amazing dining experience. The food is always freshly prepared and presentation is beautiful as well. Thank you Chef Hiro and his team for a great meal!
Very intimate but also approachable experience. Food was complex and well executed. The chefs and staff are all so welcoming and they really do go the extra mile.
Wa'z is one of the delicious kaiseki restaurants in Seattle that is actually accessible for most people. They always showcase the seasonality of great ingredients while still making sure to keep some fan-favorite staples (with a twist) on the menu.
