"Went with a gourp of 9 people. Good appetizers and lots of choices. Had the chicken wings and chicken dumplings. We had 2 vegetarians and they had no problem finding things to eat. Had choices of sushi or hot entree. Everything tasted great and service was very good, as well."

"RSVPD for a group of 11 at noon. We were quickly taken to our seats. The waiters did not hover but were available when we needed them. We order main dishes, a few side dishes and sushi. There was enough food for everyone and reasonably priced."

"Bustling place, seated promptly, attentive staff. I agree with other reviews that sushi was average, but tasty. Ama Ebi particularly good. Chinese dishes spicy with large share-able portions. Interesting tropical drink specialties. A bit noisy, but very festive and fun. Great downtown location. Recommended!"

"Salad and soup still come out together. (usually about 3 or 4 minutes before the entre so eat quick) Hostess ignored request for a booth though all but one were empty. After I repeated my request, I was taken to the one booth that is smaller than all the others. Why do restaurants try to fill their poorest tables first? Having been to Wokcano countless times, I was familiar with that booth and didn't take it. This was my favorite downtown restaurant but their personnel changes have effected the quality of the service and the food has also suffered. Menu items are not available with the excuse a new menu is coming out. I think it is really just the downtown location doesn't have the item and the new menu is a fabrication."

"If you want subpar sushi, this is the place. There was nothing about anything here that did it for me and I left here hungry because I didn't want to order anything else that would surely be meh.
Add the extremely noisy atmosphere and loud music and I was less than pleased. I would not go back. I will say the service was very attentive."

"I truly enjoy going to Wokcano, Food is great, service is great. It can get a little crowded during dinner time, so RSVP is always better than walking in without one (done both). I've been here several times and always walk out happy with any of the menu choices!"

"I love coming to this place mainly because of the type of food they serve. The staff is very friendly and location is quite accessible from work. Quite loud though especially during lunch hour, but that is understable considering that the place is packed during lunch."

"A group of 8 was way too many people for them. They had no idea who ordered what or what side order went to whom. One person had an appetizer and they couldn't get that right either. Service was slow with a long wait for the soup and salad and then that was quickly followed by the main course."
