After hearing about Wa and reading the reviews, I went to Wa last night. This crowded little place was loud and has about as much atmosphere as a prison cell. I eat sushi at least 4 times a week and have visited all of the usual suspects. My fiance and I were disappointed to learn that 2 of the specials were already gone (for a 7:30 reservation??). The salmon sashimi was fatty. The Kobe beef dish was decent but nothing extraordinary (although the sauce was great). The seabass and fois gras was the highlight of the menu. All in all, it was OK, but really nothing special. Then the check came. With one glass of wine ($8), we were at $120, pre tip. For that price, I'd much rather go to Katsuya or Hamasaku to get even better food in a much classier and romantic atmosphere.
Pros: Big variety in the menu
Cons: Pricey, weak ambiance, dingy location, noisy
