Wako Sushi Omakase 和心鮨 - 10300 George Town

My 1st time experience in Omakase, and the chef really brought a very good experience for me and my wife. Definitely will come back again anytime in future. Very good recommend for anyone who wanna try out Omakase in Penang.

A satisfying way to kill Japanese food cravings in Penang. Three words to sum it all up: fresh, authentic, delicious.

A new restaurant with good authentic Japanese food. Love the soft shell crab salad. Salad portion was a bit small but the boss knew that I like salad so she gave me some extra salad to add on. Akaebi sashimi was delicious as the meat was so sweet. Flown in from Japan so it is not a standard dish in the menu. Unagi was good but the egg that came with it was a tad too salty. Their prices are comparable to other Japanese restaurant. Will definately go back to try more dishes.

Amazing hidden gem near the art mural hotspot in Georgetown. Only serves omakase and there are two sets available; the more expensive option adds an additional cold dish. Place is pretty small and reservation can be done via Facebook Messenger. My reservation was confirmed almost instantly. Staff are all very responsive and professional. Chef is very skillful and explains every item in detail. Each of the item tastes magnificent. They're delicately prepared with a mix of flavours you can't find in regular sushi restaurants. I savour every moment the explosion of taste melting in my mouth and I wish the moment could last longer. There were at least 3 uni items for me, which is very generous. Menu refreshes every season, but new ingredients come and go every week. Certainly recommended for anyone looking for an omakase, Japanese fine dining experience. There's plentiful parking along the road at night.

A really well experienced Japanese Sushi Fine Dine in Penang. The atmosphere are good and the chef serve fresh and nice food. Will come back again to celebrate our anniversary.

one word sums it all, fresh. some dish the taste are bit overpowering in my opinion. portion are kinda large too. if you like authentic japanese food and have never try omakase before, you should definitely give this place a try and let the chef suprise you. as to the argument if the price is worth it, i guess that is up to each individual opinion.

I had a special occasion coming up and needed to book something that would be memorable, I was advised to reserve at table at Wako Sushi Omakase on Lebuh Acheh, As I had spent years working and living in Japan I was apprehensive about booking Omakase for fear it wouldn't be authentic, But I made the jump and booked the full Mago Koro and I am so glad I did, The whole event put me right back to those lost years I spent in Osaka's Dotonburi searching for the best places to eat and drink. From now on this will be my go to place when I really miss Japan or need to book something memorable.

tried MAGOKORO RM668 (excluded 10% service tax) + RM4(RTK) with 6 appetizers, 8 sushi, soup, dessert food - 5/5 freshness no doubt best in class, serve with premium and authentic Edomae-zushi with fresh ingredient flown from Japan, serving chef mr. Vincent is very friendly, he intro ingredient of each dish he serve, the flow is just nice, great experience watching his act in preparing our food. Some how a bit disappointed with their booze, I can't believe for smaller bottle sake (came with my husband and myself only) they only have 2 options. And we were not being offer with other booze option (beer, wine, whisky,...) environment - 4/5 personally do not have high expectation on the environment when come to food, I'm happy as long it is clean and comfort. But with the premium price it charged, it is kind of not up to par compare with other Omakase restaurant in the island, mr. chef told they will temp close for reno soon in April to bring up the grandness of the environment, which is a good move. service - 3/5 the lady boss is friendly, reservation follow-up response is fast and was informed covid-19 rapid test is required b4 step in the restaurant, totally understand their extra pre-cautious gesture. But how the test carry out was kind of un-pleasant, we were requested to do it beside the entrance door openly. I personally felt disgusted to split openly outside a premise door, I wish this can better arrange in a covered and more privacy space. And they request to fill-up covid-19 related declaration form which again I felt it was really redundant, do not see any point of doing it, the questions are very similar with the profile update questions in MySejahtera. I would feel more comfortable if was asked to update MySejahtera on the spot if they really concern about it. During our dinning, there was a group of customer from previous session cont stay chit chat loudly with lady boss is kind of a little bit disturbing, a little bit distracting my focus on food, had cut down the interest to interact more with mr. chef cause basically you need to yell to hear each other, i actually do not expect this kind of the experience in a "premium" graded restaurant. The waiters also having prob to cross as the narrow aisle to our area to serve us on-off because it was kind of blocked by the customers. It will be good if lady boss being more sensitive about it and can arrange them move to table area from bar area to cont their chit chat, at least their volume gets lower when there is a distance remain and also not blocking the aisle. She had apologized to us of the disturbing caused, but kind of too late to recover our dinning experience. And she forgot to bring us beverage menu until I asked for it in the mid of our course, probably she was too distracted by the other customer friend group. I'm kind of disappointed overall when come to service.
