Wokou updated their business hours.

If you ask us what we will miss most about being in the hub of these four walls, it has to be serving all of your smiling faces. ❤️‍🩹

TODAY is our final day in & we have a multitude of emotions coursing through our bodies —happiness for the incredibly diverse clientele that soon became family. An overwhelming sadness to say goodbye to a location we have built memories in over the past 6 years & hopefulness for a brighter future for our Wokou brand. But overall, gratitude for our guests that shower us with your endless love & devotion.

Please stop by, say hi, and give our Wokou Crew one last Sake Bomb cheers to all of these incredible years!

Our NEW drool-worthy dessert menu will have you craving more & never wanting to share, just ask Alex 👉

Dig in to deliciousness with us in Carmel Valley. You won’t regret it! 🥂

it's a Whisky Wednesday love story @ Wokou in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch 🌸🥃

Japanese Whisky is modeled as a take on the scotch tradition — Double distilled, Malted or Peated barley before it is aged in wood barrels! Unlike the American Bourbons & Ryes, Japanese whisky tends to be drier and smokier for an advanced-tasting Tipple. 🤤

Come sip on 1/2 off 2oz pours of all of our Whisky options every Wednesday 👊

Lunch is now in session 🔥

Did you know that we offer different dishes to munch on, like our Chicken Katsu Sando from 11 AM-3 PM? 🤤

Enjoy a crisp brew & bite combo for a mid-day treat with us at Wokou. 👊

Remembering today of all days that “the time is always right to do what is right.” ❤️

We hope that this MLK day makes you consider what is most important in your life. Follow your heart & do what is right.

We are closed today & will be back open first thing tomorrow for lunch service starting @ 11 AM!

We’re springing into this New Year with fresh bites & smiles from ear to ear. 🤗

Meet Erin — Our Wokou Crew genuinely serves you their favorite dishes daily, just like our take on decadent Spring Rolls. We promise you a journey your tastebuds won’t regret 🥰

A modern ode to the rich history of the iconic Japanese bowl of noodles, Wokou is urban, unique, unexpected & rooted in culture. 🥢

Sip & slurp elevated comfort food with warm, fiercely flavorful noodles alongside our take on sizzling plates of Japanese delicacies. 👊 From our bright, full-sized airbrush wall illustrations to our one-of-a-kind twists on classic menu items, Wokou promises an eating experience that is anything but typical. 🖤

We are sad to announce that we are forced to CLOSE our Sushi Service for today, 1/13.

We hope that you will understand when we say that our Wokou Crew has fallen into the hardship of this widespread labor crunch affecting many, if not all, of our fellow restaurants within the industry. Unfortunately, due to our staff shortage rippling through this COVID Crisis, we have no choice but to halt Sushi sales for a full day. But don't fret too much; we will still be offering full service when it comes to the rest of our menu & will be back to operating with our sushi bites first thing tomorrow!

As our guests continue craving to return to socialization norms, we want to remind you to be patient with your hospitality workers as these trying times are nowhere near over for our industry peeps.

Stay safe & support your local small businesses! 🥢🖤👊
