Come visit us & experience Japan. Wagaya means “Our Home” in Japanese, named after the owner’s passion to introduce to Atlanta the authentic Japanese food he grew up eating, including fresh Sushi, Ramen, Donburi and so much more. Come visit us and experience Japan and make “Our Home” a part of yours.

This cozy Home Park spot aims to be just as inviting, with chunky, rustic wooden benches and dark bamboo walls accenting the space. Artfully assembled sushi and sashimi platters offer an array of flavors and colors, while slurpable bowls of ramen arrive full to the brim.”

“Soon after Wagaya opened, ramen lovers, Georgia Tech students, and anyone within driving distance rejoiced. This low-key Japanese oasis is located in the little strip where Cuban sandwich shop Kool Korners used to live west of the Connector on 14th Street.

Wagaya is also known for Intimate spot serving homey Japanese food, from classic noodle soups & sushi to tonkatsu plates. The lunch and dinner combos are über convenient…” What should you be doing at 6pm??? According to Creative Loafing, you should be at Wagaya eating some ramen (or one of our other tasty dishes!)

If I could give 10 stars I would. This place has the best ramen in Atlanta. The tonkotsu is by far my favorite. I can’t come here without getting it. Sushi is amazing as well. There isn’t too much space when you’re sitting down, you will be very close to your neighbors table if you get what I’m saying. Staff is always friendly, food comes really fast. Wait time isn’t that long.

Literally the best ramen I’ve ever had. I ordered the spicy curry because it can be modified to not have meat (beware, it still is made with fish sauce base though, so it’s not 100% vegetarian). What I like about the ramen dish is it has a kick of spice, but not so overpowering that you cannot taste the other flavors, as usually happens with spicy dishes. For $20, you can get the ramen and 2 sushi rolls. I ordered the avacado salmon & spicy tuna. If I ordered the sushi without the ramen, I would have been upset with how little the rolls were, but in this case I didn’t mind since I had other food. Secondly, I preferred the spicy tuna over the avacado salmon, but I didn’t particularly love any of the sushi rolls. I more so was eating them because I ordered them and thus was paying for them.

Picked this place based on its stellar reviews to get dinner on our way through Atlanta, and we were not disappointed! We were seated right away, service was prompt and friendly, and our food came out right away. Plenty of variety on the menu, but I would highly recommend the Chuka dinner set with red tonkatsu ramen. It’s the perfect amount of food if you’re good and hungry, and the ideal level of spicy- good and hot but not so much that you have to pause in eating. The karaage was cooked excellently, and tastes great if you decide to stick it in your ramen soup. The gyoza is good, but nothing special. Keep in mind if you come by yourself or in a group of two you will be seated very closely to the other patrons- groups of 3 or more will get a corner booth more out of the way.

Wagaya is THE BEST sushi in Atlanta period. I’ve tried probably 10+ sushi restaurants in ATL and Wagaya beats them all. I would eat here every single day if I could. Reasonable prices and AMAZING quality and service. So fast as well, you can definitely enjoy your lunch break here. My boyfriend and I will rave about this place until we die. When we lived in the city we would come here 3-4 times a week and even though we moved an hour outside of the city, we still make the drive to our favorite sushi place at least once a week.

This is a lovely restaurant. Very beautiful interior and the food was served on/in pretty pottery, even the soy sauce. My friends had ramen, which was delicious and a good sized portion. I had a vegetable roll that was also very tasty. All of the servers were quite friendly and we had no trouble finding a seat at 6:00, although the restaurant filled up more within a half hour. It seems to be a very popular place!

As someone who eats a lot of ramen in Atlanta, this place probably had the best ramen i’ve ever had! I ordered the black tonkotsu and it was extremely delicious, I was tempted to drink the broth out of the bowl (i stopped myself first ). Service was impeccable! Food came out extremely fast and was hot. The waiter was so nice and made sure we had everything and our drinks were filled. Also, the food wasn’t expensive compared to the quality and how much you were getting. This was amazing and i will definitely be back!!!

Wow, I was super impressed with this restaurant! I love places that offer sushi and ramen in the same place, especially when both dishes are tasty and have big portions.

I ordered the miso ramen with the salmon-avocado roll and crunchy yellowtail.The ramen was perfectly seasoned, it didn’t need any additional spices or anything, it was perfect. The portion was large as well. The egg was cooked perfectly, however, I was not a fan of the pork, at all, but everything else was excellent.

The sushi was filling and came with many pieces! I think the pricing was completely reasonable for all that you get. The server was very kind and attentive. Whenever I come back to Georgia, I will definitely come in here again!
