WALK-IN ONLY

To provide the best experience for all our guests,
we do not take reservations at this time.

Due to limited seating,
large groups may be seated separately
or subject to wait times.

During peak hours, we may limit takeout orders
to prioritize dine-in service.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you so much for all your support over the years.
Due to work visas not being renewed, some of our team had to return to Japan, which led us to this decision.
Our final day will be April 12, 2026. We are truly grateful.

Please visit Wa-Ku North Ramen Izakaya! It’s an izakaya style—ramen and drinks—like Japanese tapas.
We will no longer have rice bowls—expect more tapas-style plates and drinks at the izakaya.
We’ll focus on dine-in rather than takeout.

From 2014 until now, nearly 12 years, we’ve shared so much. You’ve supported us, and we are truly grateful from the bottom of our hearts.

April hours: We are open Fridays (11:30–2:30 & 4:30–8:00), Saturdays (12:00–8:00), and Sundays (12:00–7:00).
Note: April 3 (Good Friday) will be closed.”

Dear Valued Customers,

Thank you very much for your continued support and loyalty to Wa-Ku Japanese Restaurant.
We truly appreciate each and every one of you.

This decision was not an easy one, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are deeply grateful for your understanding and patience during this time.
Your support means more to us than we can express, and we look forward to serving you with the same quality and care on the days we are open.

Please note that Wa-Ku North location will continue to operate under regular business hours as usual.
We will be closed on all statutory holidays.
