I just had a Chicken Katsu Don from there and it was REALLY good…Probably the best in Midtown so far. Although, it took a while to make the food (10mins), one of the workers gave us free miso soup for making us wait so long. Very clean place, quiet atmosphere, and nice variety of food.

This has nothing to do with *lunch* but they also discount all the sushi, bento, and sandwiches by 30% late in the afternoon. Pickings were slim, though.

Just went there today, didn’t see the coupons, but got a cod roe rice ball and a small miso for $2.17. They had a bento box with yakisoba wrapped in an omelette and topped with mayo, a rice ball with some veg bits in it, and two takoyako for $6. Good amount of food!

I’ve been in there a few times since the “unofficial” opening. Food is fresh, people are friendly if a little disorganized. Fast for salads. I spoke with the lady in the picture, and she admits they are getting the kinks out of the system under the pressure of a busy lunch hour during the grand opening week.

i was there today. The staff is friendly, but still trying to get the hang of things. But food by the weight bar is quite expensive 7.00/lb. The lunch combo for 5.00 is only available for eat in.

Did you ask the same lady to stand outside when you’re taking a picture? In the original review she just has a diff bandana on and is talking on the cell…back to work!
The soup is aight a little too much leeks or onions, it’s not the usual trio of tofu, seaweed, scallion.

Hello, thanks for recommending this wonderful place, I have never heard before about Washoku Cafe, but now I am going to visit it, of course together with my family. I like its design and of course it is wonderful, that they have all these sales and coupons.
