  5. Great Sushi
    Everytime I go to Waza, I leave satisfied. Their Kobe burger is excellent. They have some of the best salmon in town ! About the only complaint I could have about the menu would be the Fried Rice Beef Bowl. The beef is cut too small.. but that's really just my prefence I suppose. The hot rock is always a good treat when you bring a lady friend with you to add to the atmosphere, not that this plac...

  6. Positive reviews have to be written by staff
    The positive reviews for this place must be written by the restaurants staff as a marketing ploy. There's no way anyone could honestly like this place. It looks neat, but that's about it. The second you get past the host you get a sudden smell of reeking fish. I tried to ignore it but then when I got my sushi it was not fresh at all and tasted horrible. I found myself sipping my drink just to dow...

  7. Bad Service
    I hate to say this and rare for me to write a review/comment. However, the service at your restaurant is the WORST I've ever experienced. The wait staff, lack communication and listening skills. I've given your restaurant too many chances and see no room for improvement. Fact of the matter it's gotten worse. The waiter, that took my order, brought sushi that I never ordered, and disappeared ...

  8. FINALLY - A real fine dining Japanese restaurant! FRESH
    Fine Japanese dining - beats any other Japanese restaurant in the area. Prices were reasonable considering the quality food, sushi well rolled with fresh ingredients, tempura wonderful and fried rice with quality cuts of meat. We even tried the fried green tea ice cream, and while the tempura was a little heavy on that for my tastes, as with all their desserts it was made in house, and the ice ...

  10. Best Japanese Restaurant On North Side!!!!
    This restaurant must be the best in town. I dine out 2-3 times a week. I fell in love with this joint when I went in for the first time about a month ago. The zen ambience, posh decor is the best I have seen so far. The varieties on the menu surpassed any Japanese restaurant in town. The freshness of the fish is unbelievable. Try to avoid the weekend because the place gets too crowdy unless...

  11. Maybe we went on a bad night... but we were NOT impressed
    Took several of my out of town guests to Waza based on the strength of reviews here and close location to my home. Unfortunately we were quite disappointed and I was left embarrassed in front of my guests. We arrived and put our name on the list to be told that there was a 20 minute wait. The ambience was nice, as was the decor. It was about what I expected it to be given the prices and the ot...

  12. Best Sushi NW of Downtown
    If you don't want to drive downtown and you live in the Copperfield, 1960, or Cyfair area this is finally the answer to the problem of their being no good sushi places or late night eateries. Sushi is fresh and delicious. Hours are friendly to those of us that don't like to eat early. Prices are good for the quality of food you get. I usually go to Genji when I want Japanese food late at night, ...

  13. Must Have a Taste for This
    The food is overly ethnic and if you do not have a taste for it, then you will not like it. Even their salad has Japanese dressing, so I ate mine dry. Even if you do not like the food, however, you will like the atmosphere and the decor. The restaurant is beautiful and I give it a 5 for decor. The food is not to my liking so I give it a 1 because there is nothing on the menu I will eat.

  14. Waza
    Waza is one of the newer spots. They offer sushi and robata grill dishes. Their signature entrees are the Hamachi Ceviche, Miso Chilean Sea Bass, and Tuna Tar Tar, and they also have Angus NY Garlic Steak, Hot Rock Beef with Certified Angus or Kobe Beef. I tried the Chilean Sea Bass for the first time and it was delicious. I also shared some Kobe Beef with my wife and it too was great. se...

  15. Best sushi in NW Houston
    This place was awesome! We went on a Saturday night. Easy parking and plenty of it! Great happy hour specials! We tried a few different kinds of sushi. My husbad liked the "Volcano". Its a Cali roll topped with spicy crawfish. VERY GOOD! The snow crab roll was also delicious. Some friends tried the "Shaggy Dog" and the "Spider", both excellent as well. Only con would have to be the serv...

  16. Better than it has to be..
    Went to Waza late on a Monday night. Parking was easy. It is a very spacious restaurant with a nice drink bar as well as a sushi bar - very "cool-looking" place. The patrons were mostly under 30 when I went. They have a lot of menus. There's a sushi menu, a regular food menu and also a drinks menu. ISat at the sushi bar. I opted for some sake ("Mu") which was delicious - nicely balanced, n...

  17. great food, worth the wait
    The food here is awesome. We go at least once a week and have only been disappointed once ( they aren'tjoking about the spicy grouper-:( Not edible)I love the fact that there is so much variety even our friend who do not like sushi can find something they like. It does take a while, and the staff is not very well informed. I would like to see more variety in the wine list.Plus there needs to be a...

  18. Excellent Food and Atmosphere
    My husband and I tried the restaurant for the first time and were super impressed. The atmosphere is great with a modern asian look and floor to ceiling water walls lining the entrance. It took our waiter a few minutes to get to us but was helpful. We got the impression that he was new as he did not know the wine list and had no recommendations. The menu had so many great things we had a hard...

  19. Finally . . .
    There is finally a nice sushi restaurant on this side of town. I had been waiting for this restaurant to open since the day they put the sign on. I used to go to southwest Houston just for some good sushi but now I can just go to Waza. If you already know sushi, there is no need for me o tell you what to order. Try out some of their special rolls like Green dragon, Sumo roll and the Hook'em roll....

    a friend recommended me to try out waza....So the girlfriend and I decided to try it out this past thursday night. I was amazed to see such a beautiful japanese place on this side of town. I usually go to either uptown or Ra and wow i felt like i was there! It was fairly busy, but i was greeted and shown to my seat in no time! Might i say the menu had a wide selection to choose from. My mouth l...

  21. Great atmosphere and food
    Love the place! I walked into the restaurant and was just amazed by the decor. Like others have said, it has a japanese tradition with a modern twist. Staff is great - warm smiles and there to help with suggestions. I love the drinks there. I'm not a big fan of martinis but their lychee martinis are awesome. Another drink I would recommend is their mango mojito. As far as sushi goes, I love the H...

  22. best sushi and so close to home!!
    I love, love, love the sushi at Waza! My friend and I have been going to this restaurant a few times over the last couple of months and I?m very impressed with the freshness and quality of the fish. The rolls are yummy, especially the Waza Maki, Volcano, and Shaggy Dog. I couldn?t ask for fresher sashimi. I saw a table ordering a sashimi boat once and I was thoroughly impressed with the presentat...

    Hey ladies if your sick of the crappy bar scene and the creepy guys and the lame wait staff out at P.F. changs or the other bars and restaurants in the area, then you will LOVE waza...its totally fresh and different...me and my girlfriends were looking for a good place to unwind and have some martinis after work and not have to wait like two hours for a table or be shoved around at a crowded bar...

  25. Best Sushi Restaurant On the NorthWest Side of Town
    With a fantastic atmosphere, I was able to enjoy a nice night out dining in a restaurant that had everything going right. As the music was keeping the energy of the restaurant alive, the menu was just amazing with a wonderful selection of rolls, handrolls, sushi, and sashimi pieces. With a menu loaded with many dishes to select from it was difficult to find something to order because everything ...

  27. Waza, expectations met and surpassed!
    The best sushi place on this side of town! Greeted by a friendly staff, beautiful waterfall to your left, and trendy bar to the right, you immediately know you're in for a good time! We started out with the hamachi ceviche chef specialty which was recommended by our most helpful, and beautiful waitress. Served on a banana leaf, its 5 pieces of the most succulent yellowtail juiced with a speci...

  28. Excellent sushi, service, and sake!
    We tried this on a whim last weekend and we were thoroughly impressed. The wait was short, even though it was packed and the service was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food was terrific and very different from the normal sushi plates. The atmosphere was a great mix between a traditional sushi restaurant and a club feel, and they had a fantastic sake and drinks menu. Ladies, try the Moon Rab...

  29. Fantatsic New Northside Sushi Restaurant
    The quality and freshness of the sushi is why I gave 5 stars. The food was absolutely fantastic, the fish was fresh and delicious! The presentation was very creative and we felt they gave us very generous servings! The service was great - the staff is not pushy or overbearing, but nonetheless quite attentive. We are definitely going back for more!
