The unagi don and shrimp tempura were the first dishes served, but by the time I finished them, we were still waiting for the other items. When the bento box finally came, everything was cold. Typically, miso soup is served alongside the salad, but it ended up being the last item brought to our table. The owner made the waitress cover the cost of some hand rolls she mistakenly ordered, yet we received a complimentary hand roll afterward. Additionally, the waitress was preoccupied chatting with a dasher, which delayed us in getting the bill.

I had been searching for an authentic Japanese restaurant that served curry udon after trying it for the first time in NYC, and Waraku was the first spot I visited. Luckily, I found the best place right off the bat! They offer a vast selection on their menu, and everything I’ve tried—along with all the dishes my family and friends have sampled—has been amazing! The service is excellent, and I truly appreciate supporting a family-owned business like this, especially in today's world; they really do an outstanding job. Elina is phenomenal and incredibly nice, plus she has an impressive memory! I always enjoy coming here, and it’s definitely my top choice whenever someone asks where we should go out to eat. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking fantastic Japanese food!

I initially thought it was an authentic, Japanese-owned establishment. However, there’s no way this place is genuinely Japanese or authentic. The sushi was on par with what you'd find at all-you-can-eat places, which is to say just mediocre. The bento box was mostly filled with white rice and an orange, with no traditional tempura in sight. The spicy tuna featured some partially cooked filling. When I inquired about it, the waitress first claimed it was fish egg or roe, but I knew better. After checking with the chef, she explained that it was mixed with cooked albacore, which was a first for me. I arrived hungry and ready to spend money on a Friday night, but I regret not driving further to find real Japanese cuisine. After spending $85 for two people, I left disappointed and still a bit hungry. This will be my first and last visit, just like many others who have recently reviewed this place.

Tekka don is beautifully arranged and the quality of the tuna was very good. TORO!! Melts in your mouth. Okonomiyaki was HUGE and very very tasty. Then last but least the sea bass carpaccio. Not only was it arranged pretty but the cut and the bite was perfect. Thank you to the lady making the sushi she did everything right! And the server was sweet and very accommodating. Thank you!! Oh yea! They have Moogicha!!!! See you soon!

I highly recommend trying their seafood okonomiyaki (it's a sort of savory pancake filled with cabbage and shrimp and topped with thin sliced dried fish and sauce), their tofu avocado salad, or their daily specials for a taste of what Japan is really like, but everything on their menu is delicious.
