wagaya

i have been to wagaya a few times now, and have never been disappointed. prompt service,greatambiance, and delicious food is a constant at this place. the self ordering system isgreatand easy to use, the only downside during our last visit is that they misplaced our reservation, so we had a short wait to be seated. will definitely return and recommend to anyone who likes japanese cuisine.

i love this place!. a few nights ago was the fourth time i've gone to wagaya with my boyfriend. the sushi is very good, also really enjoy the ramen and eel. there is agreatselection - almost too many choices! i love the cocktails and the iced green tea (it's one of the best drinks i've ever had, and i order it every time). the staff are friendly and kind, though there's less of face-to-face service since you use the on-screen ordering system. i like the privacy of the booths - with small groups of people it's a fun little private party! it has a very happy atmosphere. glad to be able to validate parking as well.

this is agreatjapanese restaurant where you order food from a screen at your table so no waiting for someone to come to your table and no having to get up to order. inside it is cosy with booth style tables that give you a private dining experience. the food is tasty with a large selection of japanese standards to choose from.

wagaya has agreatlayout and decor, with comfortable booth seating and touch screen ordering creating a nice and upbeat vibe. however the hostess/cashier on our visit came across as grumpy and fed up which downed the mood a bit. the food was all great, but i was disappointed that the ramen noodles were just packaged dry noodles rather than homemade or a more authentic style. price range is very reasonable for meal quality and size, and service is always prompt and polite. all in all agreatcasual to smart casual restaurant.

fantastic atmosphere, fun modern environment,greatservice and delicious food.

fantastic gyoza and loved the salmon and unaki sushi!greatipad system and the food came out quickly. the chicken karage we ordered was meant to be spicy, it wasn't but it was succulent and heaps of kewpie given too! the only dish i wasn't wrapt in was the kingfish sushimi but fantastic dinner and loved the cute booth - made itgreatfor date night

fabulous salt and pepper calamari also loved the prawn crunch roll my personal favourites for the night. four of us decided to just share everything so we could try a lot more dishes. we also tried the chicken gyozas chicken karage chicken crunch roll and crispy pork all of these were a1.
least favourite dish was the bbq pork pancakes well prepared just not what i expected to get.
also tried the plum wine too sweet for me but my friends enjoyed it immensely. a fabulous night withgreatfriends

went here for an impromptu night out in the 'china town' precinct. it was a cold and drizzly evening, however we were surprised to see most of the restaurants packed.
we walked up to the entry of wagaya, hoping that they would have spare tables without the need for reservations.

we were fortunate to be offered a table - all semi-private booths with touchscreens to order what and when you please (great!).
we ordered (over the course of the evening):
- tuna sashimi: five, fresh pieces
- miso cheese chicken katsu: cheesy, salty and crispy fried chicken
- spring onion japanese pancake: slightly underwhelming doughy pancake heaped with fresh spring onions
- eel tempura: crispy and flavourful
- seared wagyu beef: well-cooked, fresh beef
- mackeral: also well-cooked, deliciously oily fish, just watch out for small bones
as well as cocktails and the special matcha ipa.

friendly and efficient service. the average for each plate of food was maybe $10, a bit pricey for the portions. the cocktails (large selection) weregreatvalue though. casual ambience - love the semi-private wooden booths, but can get loud and rowdy.

overall, agreatnight out of trying various well-prepared japanese cuisines and drinks.

you will not be disappointed. i keep coming back because i know the food will begreatand the staff are always welcoming. it’s agreatenvironment with a private eating experience

we went here for dinner and had agreattime. food was good and service was prompt and professional. excellent array of food options and the sashimi was a highlight.

ive been to this restaurant before, and had some sushi and fried chicken, both were pretty good (that was an year ago), recently at went back to this restaurant, the staff are really great, the "self-order" style is pretty nice. this time i ordered an salt base ramen that was tasteless, the base was looking just a poorly mix of water and some pre-prepared seasoning mix i got very disappointed as i saw the reviews here and hadgreatexpectations for their ramen. the other dish was a chickens with mushrooms, it was tasty but a bit oily, and a lot of chicken skin as it was pieces of chicken.

food is fresh
but its bit over price
however, the environment isgreat
i love the privacy
and not like other japanese restaurant or sushi train so crowded or busy.
can sit a bit longer with friends
will come back for more

great customer service,greatfood and atmosphere. everything are so clean. i like the mocha ice with with green tea, worth to give it a try.

we went here for my sons birthday party (14 off) they put us in agreatspot, food was awesome (and fast) only little complaint was that the staff were a little robotic, and did have thatgreatfeel that most japanese places have. definitely will be going back

one of the best japanese restaurant in brisbane in terms of value and good food. i've been back here on numerous occasions (>15 times) and they never disappoint. fresh, good japanese food atgreatvalue is pretty unbeatable. the place is also clean, nice private pods to sit in plus prompt and polite service. there area also private karaoke rooms for booking. i'm yet to find a similar place to challenge them.
