Wako Japanese Restaurant sits at 211 Clement St in the Inner Richmond, a counter-only room seating 20 guests for Edomae-style sushi. Service is dinner only, Wednesday through Sunday from 5:30 to 10 p.m., with each seating running two hours. The menu is in English, and reservations are booked through Tock rather than by phone or walk-in.

Parties are capped at six, and the kitchen does not accommodate vegetarian or vegan diets that exclude raw fish, though staff can note allergies and offer limited soy-free items. Children under five are not permitted at the counter. Diners who bring their own wine pay a $50 corkage fee per 750ml bottle, limited to one bottle per table.

Because the space is small, Wako holds a table for 15 minutes past the reservation time before releasing it; calling ahead if running late is recommended. Any change to a booking must be made at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations or no-shows within that window are charged $70 per person for the omakase or $50 per person for the sushi tasting, with no exceptions for illness-related cancellations.

The restaurant falls into the luxury price tier and is classified as moderate in booking difficulty, reflecting the combination of limited seats and advance-reservation requirements through Tock. No lunch service is offered.
