Wagaya - Emory Village - Japanese restaurant in Atlanta - 1579 N Decatur Rd, USA

We ordered takeout and got the tonkatsu ramen & the crunchy salmon roll + four seasons roll. The tonkatsu broth was delicious and the sushi was very fresh and tasty. Would recommend.

This was my first time here. I really enjoyed the ramen and sushi. We had a 20 minute wait but it was worth the wait. I will be going back and trying other menu items.

Food is usually great! Except the sashimi was frozen which kinda gave it no flavor. This is the first time it’s been frozen like that, usually it’s fine!

Nice ambiance and friendly staff. The tempura is nice, crispy and tasty. The sushi is of the clueless variety and is another story. Sushi. The rice is a sorry micro blob of cold rise made with the wrong variety of rice, overly compacted, with no flavor or texture and over all very sad. Far below the lowest true Japanese standard. That the fish is fresh does not rescue the debacle and merely make it passable. Too bad as I wanted to like the food at as much I liked the place.

High quality sushi, my favorite place to go to. Make sure to check out their lunch specials. Been dining here since 2012!

We had an early dinner here. When we walked in it was pretty empty. But it filled up fast and when we left the place was full. We started with one shrimp tempura appetizer which we shared. It was good and we could have both ordered our own. After we ordered we went and got snacks from the grocery section which was fun. Our order came pretty quickly and everything was delicious. The fried rice & double shrimp roll were my favorites. My Son loved everything and even got another fried rice to go.😂 We will definitely go back.

Best sushi we've found around the Decatur area. You'd have to go further afield (Buford Highway?) to get anything better/different vibe. Often busy, and no reservations (first come, first served), so try and come earlier for dinner if possible. For example, a table for 4 at around 6:15pm was a 20min wait, whereas there were about 15 people waiting at 7:30 when we left. Plenty of options to try, from sushi to ramen. They'll happily make you simpler sushi rolls for the kids that aren't on the menu (i.e. simple tuna/salmon rolls). Sapporo on draft is👌.

Menu has a variety of selections and combinations for individual satisfaction. Food quality is good. My first time here. Will definitely come back to try other dishes. Street parking is limited but there is plenty of parking in the back.
