朝ごはんは、和食がいいですね。
Well I like having Japanese style food for breakfast.

和食イコール寿司ってわけじゃない。
Japanese style food doesn’t always mean sushi.
Japanese style eat ... well, let's change "eat" to "food" and you have Japanese style food. This is a good way to differentiate between an American style restaurant and a Japanese style restaurant. What kind of food you feeling like tonight? Oh, how about some 和食?
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
