Waza Japanese Cuisine

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, not too dry. The sushi was the highlight of the evening though. The Hamichi and Escolar sushi were very fresh. The edamame was good and the portions generous. The spicy tuna roll was ok but not great that night.
The waitress and sushi chef both waited on me, as it was a quiet night.d The waitress was very cute and very friendly, but a little forgetful. The sushi chef had to fill in on a few things that she forgot (e.g., edamame). This has got to be one of the best sushi places in NW Houston.

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 better way to serve my favorite crab parfait. Maybe some won tons or something.Also No kids menu so they have to order a ten dollar fried rice.

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 time choosing! Our food was a little slow in coming out and our appetizer was served at the same time as our meal. That being said, the food there is Amazing. Fresh sushi and sushimi with great flavors. My husband decided to order a few additional rolls, and they took a very long time in coming as well. My husband enjoyed his sake and I my wine very much. I had the banana foster for desert, also excellent, although I was disappointed in the lack of chocolate deserts. All in all, we willdefinately be back and will be bringing friends!

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. Waza has more than just sushi. Crispy calamari, coconut shrimp wonton wrap, steam black mussels are my favorite appt. For dinner, I like the new york strip, crispy grouper, even the Chilean Sea Bass. You get good amount of food for the price you pay for. . . .SWEET!!! While you are there, also try out their cocktails and the big selection of Sake. KEEP UP ALL THE GOOD WORK GUYS. I will be one of the frequent customer as long as I live in this side of town and I will keep bringing more friends.

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 literally was watering from just looking at the menu. As we were trying to decide what to order, the fellow table next to us order i believe it was called Waza Hot Rock, was very interesting and fun. So we decided to order that. The waitress informed us that they had also Kobe Hot Rock Beef. The waitress told us that the Kobe meat was very tender and that it would melt in our mouths. So we decided to try the 12oz kobe between my girlfriend and i. OmG it was delllllicious!!!! THe meat was so TENDER!! We also order a few rolls.... We tried the Sumo Roll, and the FM1960 and i must say it was delightful. We were pretty full after all the food but our waitress said we had to try our dessert. They had a good selection of desserts but nothing with CHOCOLATE. =( We decided to try the banana foster.. It was a good. But i really wanted something chocolate....=P
The prices are really reasonable and the place is amazing. i will be back for sure! Great service Great Food what more can i ask for =) Our waitress was very prompt, friendly, and might i say CUTE ;-)...ask for margaret for a wonderful dinning experience
