Wakuriya Japanese Kitchen

About

This Japanese kitchen executes the full spectrum of casual and refined dishes—from silky ramen broths that simmer for hours to precise omakase counter work—with the kind of technical discipline that comes from refusing to outsource anything. The sake program reflects genuine curation rather than generic pairing, and the yakitori emerges charred and balanced, suggesting someone who understands that grilling over binchotan is craft, not convenience. In San Mateo's competitive Japanese dining scene, this spot distinguishes itself through breadth without compromise: you can trust the tonkatsu, the sushi rice temperature, and the tempura's crisp batter equally.
