Waka House — Restaurant in Baton Rouge

Over lunch I heard the owner yelling at my waitress Aaliyah in the kitchen for allegedly messing up an order. I was at the table by the window (the absolute farthest table from the kitchen), and I could still hear what the owner was saying. Apparently he thought she had called an order that was not needed, and now even though she was offering to pay for the food herself, the yelling continued. Another customer also overheard the situation and went ahead and paid for the erroneous sushi and took it home. I then received the check and asked if the restaurant had a military discount.

The large servings of diverse mochi flavors melt in your mouth- great to share with a group of 4!

Service was attentive and since it wasn't busy around 1p,food came...

New favorite sushi house. Waka House on Sherwood.

This place has been completely revamped and it has lots of unique menu items that you dont usually see everywhere else. Everything tastes super fresh and nothing has that hint of fishiness. The atmosphere is quite comfortable and intimate and the staff is always very nice.

Pictured is the sushi lunch for $14.95 and it comes with a bowl of soup as well. The little tempura potato croquettes with corn make it worth visiting this place alone. Imagine mashed potato encased into a super crispy...
