After reading all the glowing reviews on Citysearch, I was excited to try Wann. My husband and I have been to all the other Japanese restaurants up and down Belltown-- and there are many! Unfortunately, the food is not nearly as exciting as some have suggested. Yes, there were a few untraditional choices, such as fried octopus rounds and dried squid tempura. But even those were bland and uninspired. In fact, the dried squid tempura was more like, greasy onion rings without any flavor, not onion, not squid. The kurobota ""gourmet"" pork sausage? Exactly like Oscar Mayer wieners! The more usual menu items, such as sushi rolls and sashimi, were good but perfunctory. I'm surprised that we were flanked by two tables of young japanese-speaking patrons - perhaps exchange students there for all-day Happy Hour? Overall, if you run out of cheap happy hour eats, Wann is worth trying once. But if you're looking for creative or sublime japanese food, this definitely ain't it.
Pros: All day Happy Hour on Mondays
Cons: Lackluster food
