Their food was absolutely delicious and their presentation was next level! Absolutely beautiful. Definitely a cute place for a date night! We had a great time and will definitely recommend them to our friends and family. Their staff were really nice too!

Update 12/21/24: This is still our favorite sushi date night out! Love the cozy, private booths! Tonight there was the cutest little piano player entertaining us! ----- I love this place and I've just converted my husband this evening. The sushi is delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate. The service is always lovely. It's kind of crazy how this place isn't packed with a line waiting but we always walk in and get a seat immediately. I'm a little hesitant to post this because I selfishly hate waiting in lines and this is a hidden gem!

This sushi restaurant in Springfield is a true gem. I had Samurai and Rainbow Rolls. The freshness and crunchiness of rolls make your mouth keep watering. Whenever I visit Springfield, I will come this place. And fresh flower is extra. Thumbs up experience!

Great sushi and service! Rich and Famous roll and Innocence roll were our favorites. Will come back when we need our next sushi-fix!

The food was amazing, so fresh. The server was knowledgeable about gluten free, which I appreciated very much. We loved the private atmosphere of the booths. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the server didn't pick up our dirty plates. The prices were good.

There's not usually a wait, but it doesn't have anything to do with the food! Wayo is a little gem that only sushi lovers will know about! I love the Rich and Famous and the Taster's Choice. The chef always uses fresh flowers to decorate your plate for a special touch.

Some of the freshest sushi I have ever had. The atmosphere is so pretty with plants and decor that makes it feel inviting and relaxing. I love the curtained off booths that feel like you have a private dining area to eat in. The service is excellent and friendly. We had the dumplings that were different from what we have had before, they were delicious! The sushi is so fresh and creamy. The prices are fair and the portions generous. We are from out of town and made sure we stopped by during our trip to Branson.
