| - Japanese is one of my favorite types of food, and being an adventurous eater, why not try a new Japanese restaurant for a weeknight dinner! I came across this restaurant on a review site and was excited to check it out.
Atmosphere: 4/5 Wami is located in a mall in the Brentwood area. Initially parking was a little difficult to find but we managed. When I entered, I was surprised by the size of the restaurant - it was bigger than expected with a semi-open kitchen area and bar, and had an upstairs as well. I love the high ceiling. The area was spacious, clean and modern with the ability to accommodate larger groups.
Food: 4/5 There were a number of food options including appetizers, sushi, sashimi, house special rolls, and ramen. I was also interested to see that there is a 'gastropub' section. We ended up getting the seaweed salad, two rolls - sunset and hi no sakana, and a tonkotsu ramen. Overall flavourful and tasty! I liked that there was not too much rice in the rolls. The tonkotsu ramen was a little salty for me but overall tasted good. I was also pleasantly surprised by the complementary blueberry / milk based dessert at the end - was a good finishing touch.
Service: 4/5 Friendly and efficient, with good explanation of specials for the day.
Price: 3.5/5 Reasonable for type and quantity of food as well as service. There were some specials on as this is a newer restaurant.
Overall: 4/5 I would recommend this restaurant for a nice Japanese fine-dining / fusion type dinner - I like that it has ramen as well as sushi / sashimi options; open and spacious to accommodate bigger groups too.
