Excellent Asian food with prompt service and hospitality. We visited Bracebridge for 4 days and came here to dine in twice. Great going team Wabora!

Quality and the flavor of the food at Wabora. is really good. I'm not sure why I was so skeptical but I was, and then pleasantly surprised by all the beautiful flavors. The server was well informed and when she advises you that the spice level is Korean hot, believe her. We asked for our noodles to be medium level spice and it was still on the verge of being too hot but the noodle dish was very tasty.

The food was flavourful and presentation was done nicely. I ordered a ginger tea and it was so uniquely delicious (tasted like fresh ginger had been boiled for 10 minutes) with crushed almonds added to the tea. The tea may have been my favourite part, it was really great!

What a luxurious sushi restaurant!!! I visited with my family during the holiday season, and we really enjoyed the food. They have lots of different kind rolls and food. All the ingredients were fresh! I especially enjoyed the Cottage rolls, Tuna Tower, and the Galbi dish! :) We're definitely gonna visit again!

The food here was good but it was pricey. Having said that the price is understandable because I could only imagine the distance that sashimi has to travel under special conditions to reach this place. We tried a few dishes, tuna tower, love love salmon and the seaweed salad. All were pretty good. Nice place if you’re feeling for Japanese food.

Muskoka couldnt be luckier to have this restaurant as part of its fabric! Its beyond excellence on every level!

I ve been going to Wabora very occasionally for the better part of 10 years and it s hands down my favourite place to eat in Muskoka. I will say it s on the pricier side but not once have I had an unpleasant experience. Even during peak times they re always on their A game. On top of the recommendations below, their Fire Chicken is the main reason I go as often as I do. Best menu item by far and I wish they d sell their sauce in a bottle. (Or share the recipe with me)

It was much better and cozier in previous years before the cavernous renovation. Still good food, though very expensive. The hours have become odd, and I never know if it s open, so I don t go much anymore. I ve shown up a few times and it s closed so I just don t even consider this place an option anymore when I m hungry. But if the stars align and it s open I recommend a visit if you can afford it.

Avoid any teriyaki dish, especially beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki. Both are horrible. Very dry. There s no marinating process. Just sauce over meat. Rolls are average but acceptable. Service is slow and when the waitress got order wrong, she argued twice. Very noisy place.

This place seems to have gone very downhill. It is extremely expensive ($13 for 3 pieces of veggie tempura) and the quality is terrible. I had a simple yam tempura roll and it was somehow the worst yam tempura roll Ive ever had in my life like it was premade and sitting there. Other members of my family felt the same way about their food, some of which was cold or dried out. Will not be returning.

July 21, 2024

If I could give it a zero rating I would. Not only was the cutlery dirty but 2 days of dealing with food poisoning is NOT worth it.

I hope that sushi I ate cured my cancer because I had to sell my kidney to afford it. Literally 5-10x the price of what it is in Japan. Want real sushi? Go to Japan, youll get better tasting, more fresh, and better service as well. Overpriced mid sushi.

Amazing sushi. Crispy crunch roll and summer roll are my fav. *Edit* We ordered sashimi appetizer for like $17.99ish, recieved 4 prices of fish. We were told it was four pieces of each fish. We had another issue with take out that they begrudgingly resolved for us. Every time weve dined in it has been lovely with no issue. I would just double check your takeout bags before leaving.

May 21, 2024

We just had a take out of 10 pieces sushi for $40.Ridiculously expensive.Not worth for the money. Never go back or recommend to anyone.Rather say not to go there based on these crazy prices. Food

★★
May 21, 2024

Be very careful with ordering from Wabora and I would recommend asking them to repeat your order at least twice to make sure it s correct. I just placed a take out order and the person taking the order misunderstood me put 6 of the same item on the order, when I only asked for one. Supposedly they repeated it back, but I have no recollection of this. The bill was obviously much higher than expected at pick up, so I asked to see the itemized bill. The price was far higher for this item than I recalled, but the worker told me that was the price, so I assumed they had substantially increased the price. There was also a lot more food than I expected, which I unfortunately didn t check until I got home. I called immediately upon realizing they had given me 6 extra of the item and that was the reason for the bill being so much more than expected. The person I spoke with was very apologetic and tried to explain to me how I could store and consume 6 of this item. Unfortunately, the most they could offer was refund me for x2 of that item. Quite a frustrating experience. I wanted to share this to caution others to at least double or triple check their orders when ordering from Wabora. I would also recommend Wabora consider recording their calls so they can review calls like this to determine where the misunderstanding occurred.

Wabora is a great spot. Its expensive as all heck for what you get. Like really expensive for rice with some other fishy stuff but i never have been disappointed. I give it a 2 star on the atmosphere because its pretty boring. Just a large open big box store. Kind of like you are in a costco for sushi rolls.

They make the most wonderful Korean food. Spicy Pork Bulgogi with a mug of ginger tea was ordered. When it came out was on one of those hot iron plates on a wooden board and a bowl of rice. The plate was completely heaped with delicious spicy pork sliced thinly with vegetables like carrot, cabbage, broccoli, onion and even peas. The meat and veggies that lay on the hot plate turned black with the heat and changed the taste profile which complimented the dish. Its not cheap at $32 a plate but its a dinner plate thats worth it.

This Japanese restaurant is below average, especially with the pricing that they have on their menus. For example, the sashimi sampler, which consists of 1 of each (Tuna, Salmon, White Tuna, Shrimp, Octopus, Yellow tail) costs $15. I understand if it was premium fish, but the taste of all the sashimi is basically what you can find in ANY all you can eat Japanese restaurant, nothing special. But good for them, because they are the only Japanese restaurant in the area, so they can charge a premium price for regular tasting food.

Went in on new years eve. Had a great meal. Our poor little server was super new tho,and very overwhelmed. She dropped things in peoples laps,and her service was quite slow. However! She was trying her absolute best,and it showed. They were extremely busy,but once our order was placed,it came very fast,and everything was absolutely delicious! The lady owner was very diligent in walking around making sure people were being served and happy. Overall a great night out! Especially on one of the busiest nights of the year.

We were in Bracebridge for one night and found this place near our hotel. I am so glad we decided to stop by for dinner. The atmosphere inside was great. The service was fantastic, and the restaurant was really quite packed. And now the important part, the food, absolutely greadwlixious. We packed as much food as we could into one meal, but I will be back to try some of the other fantastic sounding things on the menu. We started with tempura and fried dumplings. Both were really good. In hindsight, I wish I had ordered the vegetable tempura as the seafood tempura was a small portion for sharing. I had a dumpling soup after this which needed a bit of seasoning but was very tasty. Our main courses were the lobster volcano and my daughter had a couple of portions of sushi. Both were delicious and the leftovers came home with us for midnight snacks. For a finale we had the chocolates, spring rolls and the tempura banana. Again both very good. I will happily come back here again.

Waited 1.5 hours for the meals. I had to leave before food arrived because my baby was so fussy (we walked around the restaurant for 40 mins to calm him), so I notified the staff to cancel my steak because I couldn t eat it, as I had to go home. They wouldn t cancel it, and said they would have to pay for it since it was ordered anyways. I couldn t do that to them, so left and had my family pay for it. $55 later.. everything was so expensive, no all-you-can-eat sushi option. Traveller 35 mins for my birthday dinner and sadly won t return. I know this won t be everyone s experience here, but wanted to share mine. I never leave reviews and I think this is my worst experience at a restaurant ever. Wish they would have comped my meal and let me leave in peace.

Been heading to Wabora since we moved to Bracebridge six years ago. What a find for a small community. Addicted to the combo bento box at lunch, with a seaweed salad, mixed-green salad, miso soup, California rolls, sushi and sashimi, and a cleverly sliced orange for desert. Now thats a meal! Dinners have always been great too. Best spot to eat in town.

The food was great. The service was great. Visually, the restaurant has an OK atmosphere but coming through the speakers is some very very generic devotional music. It is like easy listening but much more nauseating. The music is so unappetizing, its as though the owners are forcing the patrons to eat a half pound of synthetic sugar with every serving of food. It makes a meal at a sushi restaurant feel like youre sitting in a Zellers cafeteria counter in the 90s. The music could not be worse. Seriously. It is the only restaurant Ive ever been where death metal would improve the dining atmosphere. We were all completely dumbfounded. If youre hearing impaired, youre in for a treat though.

Looked very forward to sharing this place with my daughter who was visiting from out of town and she is quite a foodie. As usual and as expected the food was great. Very unfortunate that the dining experience was horrible. My entrée was served after my daughter had finished hers. This made the experience very awkward - as people who get their food first want to wait til the other person has theirs. The person without wants the person who has their food to eat while it is hot / fresh. When mentioned to our server there was no apologies, just a blank look and she advised that my order was coming soon. Considering this was invaluable one on one time for my daughter and I, the experience was horrible. Upon checking with many other locals this is not uncommon at this restaurant. I will continue to order for take out but will never eat in again. I will add my daughter is also a professional in this industry and advised we still leave a good tip as this should not affect the kitchen staffs earnings.

December 21, 2023

Walked out before ordering anything after a long wait. Menu is now a QR code, took us 10 minutes to realize this as no menu was brought by and no one mentioned it. No wifi available so you need data on your phone to be able to order something? Really not accessible. Menu has no details about the food and you have to scroll through a million things. Price has gone up. Didnt seem to want our business at all. Dietary restrictions: Zero details in menu

The server was excellent and thought of every detail, including bringing chopsticks set up for kids for my little niece. She also enjoyed the meal, and ate everything up. The restaurant itself is very large with lots of seating to accommodate a large number of guests. I imagine this would also be a great place to host a party!

Weve been Wabora customers for years, the food is absolutely exceptional and we have always had a positive experience until yesterday. We were celebrating my daughters 17th birthday and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We were seated right away and then proceeded to wait 25 minutes before the server even came to the table. When she did she was unfriendly and seemed annoyed, took our drink and food orders at the same time. a Sushi boat for 3 arrived about 25 minutes later and is about 60% of the size it used to be, it was barely enough for 2. We were a party of 5 so also ordered several rolls and 1 main entree. 45 minutes after the sushi boat arrived (so wed been at the restaurant for an hour and 10 minutes at this point), our additional rolls showed up but staggered with 5-10 minutes between each arriving to the table. My daughters entree finally arrived after we had been there 1 hour and 40 minutes. There was no apology at any time from the server and at no time during this long long wait were our drinks replenished, nor were we checked on to see if she could get us anything. The table next to us were seated and their order was taken and food was delivered within 20 minutes. Our bill was $270 and it is the first in my life I have ever only tipped 5%. Super disappointing. I understand restaurants are struggling everywhere with staffing shortages and high food costs but at this price point and calibre of food I expected more. The food is still absolutely outstanding but we left annoyed and ticked off. Not a great way to celebrate a birthday.

Disappointed. I used to come here when they opened years ago and was always impressed. They no longer have the hibachi tables, I m not sure why they would get rid of them as it was always a delightful experience. The sushi is good but definitely not worth the outrageous prices. We (my partner and I) ended up spending over $100 and left hungry. Ordered the tempura seafood appetizer for $12 and it only came with 1 piece of shrimp, 1 piece of calamari and 1 tiny thing of scallop. It should say on the menu that this isn t even enough for 1 person, let alone a table. They don t even have proper menus (they are paper printouts with stains on them), and you don t even get a container of soy sauce on your table, you get little take out packets. For the price you would think this would be standard. Sad to say we will not be back.

I dont know what happened over the last 6 months, but this restaurant has gone from being a must visit to avoid at all costs. I think they may have a new chef because the dishes have no taste and some things taste quite stale. Probably the worst meal I have had in years. Food was cold and tasteless, received the wrong orders, bill was incorrect. The expensive prices used to be worth it for the food but now there is nothing that justifies the price of the menu, especially when the menus you are given are used crumpled and stained papers. The service also left a lot to be desired. Extremely slow and forgetful. It seems very clear that they are more focused on their takeout business than their in person dining experience. Unfortunately, this place is no longer somewhere I will go or recommend.

High prices and was expecting very good food for that but it felt like a really cheap fast food place. Only one server working on a busy Friday, the food was poor, the seaweed paper inside the rolls was like rubber. Will not recommend.

We and 2 friends had dinner August 11/23. Food was good, atmosphere light and not cold (some restaurants too dark and too cold), all staff very friendly, and accommodating (especially our server AJ and a lovely 40s something Asian gentleman behind the bar). Customer service above and beyond, and we will definitely return! A great experience!

December 21, 2023

My first impression about this restaurant was that it was very chaotic and unorganized. The foods were extremely overpriced. I spent $25 for a bowl of grilled beef udon with 5 tiny pieces of cooked beef. Very disappointed!

This has to be the best Sushi restaurant in Muskoka, bar none. We have eaten there many times and have never been disappointed, so far. The Spring rolls are crisp, non greasy and served with a delightful sweet chilli sauce. The Prawn dumplings are rich and succulent and packed with shrimp,other options available. The Summer Roll is full of crab and mango, then wrapped in lettuce and the thinnest rice pancake. We followed these starters with Philly/ Salmon roll and the ubiquitous California, every ingriedient was so fresh, that we ordered more. Accompanying it my husband tried an Agent Orange cocktail and I had the Sake. Service here is very good even when the place is super busy. Lunch is also delicious with set menu, or to order. Music is unassuming and allows good conversation. Price is reasonable with drinks and service around 120 but really you can eat as little or as much as you want. Vegetarian options: Veggie options available in rolls and hot food. Although was slightly dissapointed with the saute vegetables and lack of different seasonal ingredients.

We came here for dinner and requested a booth but the waitress for that area was not on shift yet, however an other very sweet waitress assigned to another section waited on us anyways. The service was fast and food was fresh! We felt satisfied after sharing edamame, Agedashi tofu and 3 rolls. They had plenty of vegetable rolls to choose from

Love this restaurant. Our favorite for many years!! *edit to change from 5 stars to 3. Havent been since the pandemic...disappointed in changes. Decor is nicer now(outdated before) no more hibachi tables, menu is not as good, everything is crazy expensive ( as we understand with cost of everything) and to be honest what we ordered was OK...not awesome. Not 5 star..just ok... pretty disappointed.. the staff however was lovely.
