Wakatobi Japanese Grill Hibachi and Sushi

Ordered take out for dinner, took a while to pick up the phone but that's understandable. We try to order a dinner and ask about pricing, especially for changing the side rice to fried with chicken, which is an option on the menu but the price is different from online and Google. Really hard to hear the guy taking our order, and honestly not sure if he heard us right. We pick up our meal and see the price was different from what we were originally told, confused about how that happened but we just shrug it off since it was only a few dollars more than we were told. Get home to eat and the food is ice cold, meat is overcooked and tough, rice that we paid extra for had little to no chicken and really didn't have any flavor. Only thing that was plentiful was the side vegetables that they throw in, which are like half the meal and just sitting in a puddle of juice. Overall probably wouldn't go back or atleast not for pick up.

One star for slow service. Made reservations ahead of time for iftaar. Showed up on time and had to wait 25 min just to place an order. Despite having a table and waiting, the host decided to take a walk in to-go order before us and even their food came before us. There seemed to be only one person working here to help customers outside of the kitchen and one person making sushi for 6 tables. In total it took 1.5 hours after iftaar opened to get food. I would not recommend this place for Ramadan. Pros: 1. There was a bowl of dates on the table and a glass of water while we waited 1.5 hours. 2. You can pray in the storage room 3. Lota in the bathroom. 4. Food was good, you get far more rice than noodles (a very generous amount, too much for one person). Cons: 1. Insanely slow service, especially for halal establishment during Ramadan (1.5 hour wait). Poor planning on the establishment, there shouldn't be one server for the entire restaurant during iftaar rush. 2. Dinner combo is $33 a plate for noodles, a little steep for the experience. For 4 dishes we spent $130 (and one of them was a kids meal). 3. Only 2 highchairs in the restaurant. No changing table in bathroom. Would be nice if they catered to families of young children. Kid-friendliness: Quiet and intimate restaurant. No changing table. Only 2 highchairs.

the workers are so sweet and kind and clearly love what they do! the food was so filling and decently priced. the room was a little cold, but it wasn't terrible. overall lovely experience, and the food is yummy. It's definitely worth a try if you're looking for halal hibachi, sushi, and noodles
