Wa'z Seattle Reviews

The food met expectations; however, the service was atrocious. Our server, Linh, was extremely rude and condescending throughout the evening. I have a severe allergy to wasabi and made this explicitly clear when ordering. Despite this, my sushi arriv

Read a lot of good things about the place but overall disappointing. Food was not creative. Just lots of dashi-based umami flavor that you can get in many japanese restaurants. Grilled salmon was served cold. Sake pairing didnt really complement the
I don't understand how this place is so highly rated.
The price point is expensive but the ambiance, service, and food were all pretty terrible. For $175pp, this is nothing close to what I expected (plus automatic 20% gratuity). As for ambiance, it looks old and run down and a little dingy. Also not th
Amazing from start to finish.
There was so much care taken into the menu selection, quality ingredients, food preparation, and thoughtful presentation. I was very impressed with ambiance and service. At nine courses, it was so much food. I really enjoyed the Toro-Taku Monaka cour

Very thoughtful, well-prepared and top notch, yet still not too formal. The service was warm and welcoming. We enjoyed the fixed 9-course meal of beautiful, high-quality, and delicious food that captured the essence of the season. Each course was des

I was in town for a conference and my close friends found this place and made a reservation for my husband and me. We had a 5 pm reservation on a Sunday, and after finally finding the restaurant (it's very unassuming from the outside), we were
Excellent but not a cheap date...
Although their monthly menus are supposedly different, we found after checking their website for a number of months after dining that they were understandably quite similar. Nonetheless, we would expect the same high quality offerings on every menu.

A pleasant dining environment, dishes served one by one, along with thoughtful explanations, made for an excellent experience.
I loved everything they served.
Servers are all nice and thoughtful. Loved the open kitchen style, interactive concept. Sake selection here is excellent! Bill though, gratitude was included, so I was confused. There is tip section too. Didn't know we needed to tip twice???

I had high expectations for this place given its price, but unfortunately, it completely fell short. For $1,000 for four people, I expected a lot more. While some dishes were decent, the overall quality was inconsistent. There were times when we didn
Very unique eating experience.
We went here for lunch and really enjoyed the food. Highly recommend.
Anniversary Dinner
We were very excited to have dinner at Wa’z because our son took his girlfriend there for their anniversary and said it was amazing. The food was fabulous! Every plate felt like a piece of art. Chef, and his team, was friendly and polite, as you w
Outstanding!
The kaiseki dinner at Wa'z is one of the best dining experiences I've had. Service was attentive and each course as well as the paired sakes were explained. If Seattle had Michelin stars, this restaurant would be on their list. We were lu

We called twice for reservation.
They did no answer (It was during service hours) and they did not return our calls. For an upscale restaurant, this is unforgivable. We were really looking forward to an extraordinary experience with out friends, but are left with a very bitter tast

I'm not sure if it's fair to compare this place to Wataru and Taneda. The food is definitely good but the other two places I've mentioned are better. One thing that I didn't quite enjoy was the service. The server (dude in Crocs) was just okay. I t
This was a unique restaurant.
Each month and season, the restaurant prepared a different menu. So it's challenging to rate the dishes, as I have only been here during november. It's an Omakase experience (chef's choice of 9 courses). The chef watches you interact with each dishes
This place is one of the best restaurant in Seattle.
Fresh seafood true to taste and culinary skill. The restaurant was cozy with ample sitting. All the guests came on time to enjoy fun and laughter around. The staff was friendly and patiently introduced the dishes with passion.
Food 5/10 All my friends enjoyed the meal except me.
It could just be me that I am not a fan of Kaiseki cuisine. I cannot name a single dish that I liked. Service 8/10 We were introduced to each dish with stories. Helps and requests were answered on time. Great service. Ambiance 7/10 Clean, cozy, com

Truly my favorite sushi restaurant in Seattle.
My experience has been amazing every single time. Food is always delicious and I love how they always incorporate seasonal items into their menu. Hospitality is absolutely amazing- I had visited a few times before moving to the city and during my vis

While omakase often gets the most mentions when it comes to higher-end Japanese dining in the US, kaiseki cannot be overlooked! Wa'z was our first kaiseki dining experience so we have nothing else to compare it to, but it's was an amazing experience
wa'z in Belltown is a Japanese set menu restaurant.
Unlike an omakase meal with an endless parade of fish on rice, their offerings are a mix of cooked foods, soup, nigiri, and even dessert. They change their menu monthly. It's $150 per person with many little dishes, all made with highest quality ingr
Connect with users posting reservations for Wa'z Seattle
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Wa'z Seattle. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Wa'z Seattle at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Wa'z Seattle page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Wa'z Seattle to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Wa'z Seattle!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
