For lunch, I ordered a bento box with sashimi and sushi. The sushi was great - rice was not mushy or too vinegary. The sashimi was fresh but cut in irregular shapes, a bit ragged. The tempura was a bit oily. Good value - $13.00.
The octopus balls are okay, nothing special. However, the nabeyaki udon is fantastic. Such a huge portion, delicious broth, and a very healthy portion of tempura. I don't like ramen noodles (period), but my boyfriend loved their miso ramen noodles. He lived in Japan for a while, and declared it as good as his favourite noodle places in Kyoto. While delicious, Wa's doesn't charge for their equally delightful tea. Oh well, this place still rocks.
