I don't feel like the white meat debacle is a legitimate complaint. (I'm sure whoever served you offered to remake your order to your specifications, late as they may have been.) However, if the chicken itself (meat type aside) was not as tasty as you expected then that is unfortunate, and I am sorry you didn't enjoy it. :/ I wouldn't call the decoration minimal or unfinished so much as practical. After all, the dining room is rather small. The tables are chic, there are paintings on the wall, and a small display of sake offerings. To be honest, I can't think of anything there would be to add to the room for fear of cluttering it, making it uncomfortable for customers and servers alike to move through the aisle and between tables. Just putting my opinion out there for anyone who would read it. I have been an employee of Waka House for over a year now. My silly nit-picking aside, I'm very happy to hear you had a positive overall experience dining at Waka House. Having you write a review is fantastic. I believe any exposure we get is much needed. (We really are hidden in a corner. Hope you didn't have trouble finding the place.) We'd love to have you again!
