“ New favorite sushi house. Waka House on Sherwood. This place has been completely revamped and it has lots of unique menu items that you dont usually see everywhere else. Everything tastes super fresh and nothing has that hint of fishiness. The atmosphere is quite comfortable and intimate and the staff is always very nice. Pictured is the sushi lunch for 14.95 and it comes with a bowl of soup as well. The little tempura potato croquettes with corn make it worth visiting this place alone. Imagine mashed potato encased into a super crispy tempura shell.... ”
“ Waka House is our favorite restaurant in BR! The food is always so good and flavorful, the service is efficient, and the staff are friendly. Even when you get takeout the food is packaged with care and tastes just as fresh. The dumplings are the best and sometimes the main thing we order! We traveled to Japan and the food here feels authentic and made with care just like in Japan! Thank you as always for giving us a great meal experience ”
“ Over ten years ago, this was the place that made me fall in love with sushi. To this day, it is still the best sushi I have had in my entire life and in Louisiana. Not only is each roll delicious and beautiful, the owner is very nice and always efficient and makes sure you have everything you need. Forever one of my top favorite restaurants in my state. ”
