Wakuriya San Mateo Beoordelingen
What a beautiful experience.
Especially special when shared with friends. The restaurant outside is unassuming when the parking lot is shared with a Safeway and CVS. My husband had to call at midnight a month in advance to leave a message for reservations. As to you enter the r

I surprised my husband on his birthday with a dinner reservation at Wakuriya. This 1 Michelin star restaurant has been on our list for the longest time but we never had a chance to dine in. I was very lucky and was able to get through after calling 4
Amazing service and fantastic culinary creations.
My friends took me for my birthday and the ambience was really nice. We had great conversations with lovely interaction with our server.

FOOD: 5 SERVICE: 5 AMBIANCE: 5 VALUE: 5 Yes, we are back celebrating my wife's birthday. Again, chef Katsuhiro has outdone himself again. It seems like his cuisine is bordering on Michelin 2-star level! Yes, Wakuriya is our favorite Japanese
I had despaired that I would ever be able to try this place
I had despaired that I would ever be able to try this place because I'm never awake at midnight to call, but my friend very kindly offered to call for me and got me and my husband a reservation! We came on a Wednesday night and had a great time.
The best of the best
Wakuriya has never let me down, no matter how many times I’ve visited. This time was no exception—every dish was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely excellent. The attention to detail in both flavor and presentation truly sets this place
Great food, great service and nice Michelin restaurant.
A nice omakase restaurant, that we tried for the first time.
One of the best Michelin restaurants in Northern CA.
Reservations are made 30 days in advance, by phone call only at 12AM. If they don't pick up, leave your name, the date and time you would like to book, and a best call back number. If your preferred date/time isn't available, they'll o

If you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine, this Michelin 1-star gem is a must-try—and I can confidently say it’s worth every bit of effort required to secure a reservation. With food quality, service, and presentation that transcend expectations, thi
The food is fantastic, and the service is outstanding.
Each course of the nine they served us was tasty, delicately crafted with good-quality ingredients, and both put together and presented with expert care. The three hours of our dinner was made a very comfortable and enjoyable experience.

I don't know if I can fully describe each plate and do it justice. The combination of flavors were just perfection! And it was a perfect balance and ratio in every bite. It was a good mix of textures too- from cold dishes to warm, to soups and fried

Fantastic kaiseki dinner and wonderful service from a small business. Have been here several times and have never been disappointed. Food is high quality and always delicious. Definitely won't leave hungry either with the number of dishes being se
The food is good but the ambiance is subpar.
The worst thing though is how they handle reservation requests. It's like some demented lottery. You leave a message and hope they have the courtesy to call you back. And good luck trying to get any meaningful information off their website.
It's difficult to book an appointment but it's
It's difficult to book an appointment but it's understandable because they are a Michelin star restaurant. I had a great experience here. Their dishes have quite creative decorations and equally unique flavors.

We finally were able to reserve a spot for dinner! It's a very small place with 12 diners per night. The chef makes all the item by himself while his wife serves it- they are both from Japan and very nice and humble people. I recommend the sake pairi

I feel sad writing this because I really had such high expectations. I've been dying to go here for years but the near impossible way you have to make reservations prevented me from trying it. My angel of a husband finally got a reservation after
Food was outstanding.
Incredibly creative dishes with a classic, traditional Japanese flair. The server was top notch, giving a nice presentation for every dish that was served. Save some room for the dessert as it was exquisite! Yes, the reservation process is a bit of

Michelin star worthy for sure.
Every dish was scrumptious. Well worth the visit and planning ahead for the reservation.
All I can say is.
Go and you'll be happy you did. I'm so happy my wife can get the reservation for our family meal of 5. I wish I can get the reservations there every month even though it's a hour trip from East Bay. Worth every penny.

Excellent Restaurant and a must try for an authentic Japanese Kaiseki meal. Wakuriya is authentic and true to the Japanese culture in every way, from the excellent food, dishes, serving style, and even the (painful) reservation making process...

AppointmentTrader is een community-gedreven platform waar gebruikers hun reserverings kunnen ruilen of hun persoonlijke relaties met Wakuriya San Mateo kunnen benutten. Kopers kunnen weloverwogen beslissingen nemen met behulp van geautomatiseerde verkopersbeoordelingen, die eerdere transacties en betrouwbaarheid weerspiegelen.
Elke plaatsing op AppointmentTrader toont je welke gebruiker deze heeft ingediend en geeft daarbij een overzicht van de gebruiker, waarin aangegeven wordt hoeveel ervaring deze gebruiker heeft en bij hoeveel procent van hun transacties zij een terugbetaling hebben uitgevoerd.
Als er geen gebruikersplaatsing is die past bij jouw schema, kun je bieden op jouw gewenste tijd.
Stel, Peter heeft een geweldige ochtend en besluit zijn drie vrienden mee te nemen naar Wakuriya San Mateo om 18:00 uur diezelfde dag.
Hij controleert de website van het restaurant en ziet dat er geen reserveringen beschikbaar zijn. Vervolgens bekijkt hij de Wakuriya San Mateo pagina op AppointmentTrader, maar ontdekt dat er ook geen aanbiedingen van andere gebruikers zijn.
Daar komt het door de community aangedreven biedproces van pas.
Peter kan een bod plaatsen op AppointmentTrader. Dit bod dient als beloning voor ieder communitylid dat helpt om de reservering te regelen. AT stuurt dan notificaties naar ervaren gebruikers die mogelijk kunnen helpen.
Stapsgewijs Proces
1.) Beloning Instellen (Bod)
* AppointmentTrader gebruikt historische data om een redelijk beloningsbedrag aan te bevelen voor het regelen van een reservering – stel, $100.
* Peter wil er graag heen, dus verhoogt hij het bod (de beloning) naar $200.
* Op dit punt bestaat de reservering nog niet.
2.) Een Communitygebruiker Neemt het Bod Op
* DistinguishedTree58, een ervaren AT-gebruiker, heeft veel succes met het regelen van reserveringen en ontvangt weinig terugbetalingsverzoeken. Zij ontvangen een melding van Peter’s bod van $200.
* DistinguishedTree58 neemt het bod op, wat betekent dat zij nu gaan proberen de reservering te regelen.
* Peter kan nu met DistinguishedTree58 overleggen als hij vragen heeft terwijl DistinguishedTree58 het bod probeert te vervullen.
3.) De Reservering Vinden
* DistinguishedTree58 gebruikt nu hun contacten bij Wakuriya San Mateo om de tafel te regelen.
* Als het lukt om de tafel voor vier om 18:00 uur te bemachtigen, krijgt Peter een bevestiging dat de reservering geslaagd is.
* Als DistinguishedTree58 de reservering niet kan regelen, gaat het bod terug in de pool zodat een andere gebruiker het kan proberen.
4.) Betaling & Bescherming
* Zodra de reservering is geregeld, ontvangt DistinguishedTree58 de $200 beloning, die wordt bijgeschreven op het AT-saldo van DistinguishedTree58. Gebruikers beheren hun eigen saldo en kunnen laten uitbetalen via opties zoals bankoverschrijving, PayPal of Zelle.
* Peter kan nu genieten van het diner met zijn vrienden bij Wakuriya San Mateo!
* Zoals bij alle transacties op AT worden geschillen en no-show kosten afgehandeld via het community-gedreven resolutiesysteem van het platform. Gebruikers met een sterke reputatie worden gestimuleerd om biedingen succesvol te vervullen, en communityleden kunnen problemen melden om het vertrouwen in de marktplaats te waarborgen.
