| - Washoku is composed of four Japanese restaurants under one roof! There is the AYCE Korean bbq, AYCE sushi, a la carte teppanyaki, and a ramen and shabu shabu Restaurant.
The first thing that strikes you is the more upscale decor in the main dining rooms for KBBQ and teppanyaki. The sushi and ramen/shabu shabu room has an authentic "Japanese Izakaya" vibe which I personally loved!
***My review is for Ichi-Potto which serves a la carte ramen and shabu shabu (Japanese hot pot).***
The food at Ichi-Potto was good but I can't say that it was great. We ordered the beef sukiyaki shabu shabu, but it was more of a shabu shabu and not a sukiyaki. The broth was a little sweet but overall it was a fun experience, as the set comes with your own pot with ingredients to add in. It also came with a California roll!
The karaage tonkatsu ramen was decent! They have a large portion of karaage (although the spices don't strike me as Japanese). Also, the egg was not runny and there was a large amount of noodles. The tonkatsu broth was tasty, which held the dish together.
Overall, Washoku is great for large groups who want to taste a variety of food - bbq meats, sushi, ramen, and teppanyaki. The servers were really kind and also offered complimentary appetizers and desserts!
