Not only was this place super affordable, the fish quality was also very good. I felt like the prices were from 10 years ago ($20 large chirashi bowl, $17.75 for a dinner combo?!). The chirashi bowl came with fresh and thick slices of salmon, hamachi, tuna, and some crab.

My second time to come. The Chirashi bowl is fantastic! Better to have reservation on weekend nights. They only have 5-6 tables besides bar seats, most with reserved signs. Also love Unagi/Avocado rolls, tempura, karage…

The best Japanese restaurant in the bay area. Homemade style Japanese ran by old Japanese couples. Nice tempura and quality sashimi offered. Highly recommend.

I love this restaurant so much. Super authentic Japanese food. Where else can you find this big and high-quality chirashi bowl in the Bay Area only cost $20!!! Also, the teriyaki and tempura here is quite special and you can taste the difference. One more thing, the old couple owning the restaurant are so nice and especially Joe, he is so lovely!!

I would rank Wakamatsu as my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area. The food is delicious, the fish is fresh, and even the tea tastes great. Their tempura is the best among the ones I tried in multiple cities in North America. I cannot imagine that there is a restaurant serving quality food but with such reasonable price in 2022…

The place needs to be considered as a neighborhood staple of Hayward! The elder uncle and auntie who run the business are charming and hardworking. The food is more homey than it is mind-blowing, while also being kindly priced, which is nice with many of the American-Japanese restaurants go for more of a “wow” factor to charge more.

I’ve been going here for years and it’s always been amazing. The food is very cheap and very high quality. The people who run it are an older Japanese couple, and they are so kind! It’s generally pretty busy here when I go, but I never wait for too long. I wish I could come more often!

The plaza may look a bit shady but don’t get turned away! Great family-owned restaurant. The sushi are all very fresh. Also reasonably priced. Would definitely come back again if I’m in the area.

Nice little place with the Japanese atmosphere and design. After completing the orders, the Itamae came to our table and asked how our food was. He was very friendly and polite. The service and the food was good. With a stop if you’re in the mood for sushi.

GREAT fish. This cute old restaurant really nailed everything: the woman who took our order was sweet, the food came out pretty quickly, the food itself tasted amazing. The restaurant is small, but worth it even if you have to wait. Got the hamachi cheek (would highly recommend getting this) it was a large amount of fish for one person, but would be good to share. The unagi don had rich flavor. And the sashimi was very fresh. The seaweed salad that came with the entrees (for dinner) was crisp and not over-flavoured. One of my favorite Japanese restaurants, will definitely make time to come back again.
