About Wayama Japanese Restaurant

Wayama turns an unassuming Sylvania dining room into a quiet window to Japan, anchored by an authentic, rotating kaiseki feast. It is run by a dedicated family crew who guide guests through every course. Tables fill quickly in the compact room, especially midweek for the seasonal tasting sets ordered a day ahead. Expect crisp fried oysters alongside dipping sauce and delicate seared wagyu beef carpaccio.

  • Seasonal Pre-Ordered Kaiseki: Seasonal multi-course tasting menus rotate throughout the year and require pre-ordering at least a day in advance.
  • Attentive Table Service: Hosts introduce each course individually across an intimate dining room with a genuine family feel.

Why Choose Wayama Japanese Restaurant

Authentic seasonal Kaiseki and heartfelt family hospitality in an intimate local setting.

  • Advance Booking for Seasonal Kaiseki

    Guests can plan ahead for mid-week dining with a dedicated seasonal multi-course Kaiseki menu prepared upon advance notice.

    Very small so definitely book ahead (especially if wanted to try the Kaiseki menu which needs to be ordered the day before).

  • Thoughtful Mid-Week Table Planning

    With a cozy, intimate dining room, advance reservations ensure seamless preparation for every table.

    Please note that you need to book one day in advance for the autumn kaiseki. I reached out to them via Facebook three days in advance and received a prompt reply.
