Will definitely go again! The staff and ambience were fantastic. It was a relaxing aesthetically pleasing restaurant/bar. The food was 11/10. We had the Zen Garden high tea. It was enough food for two and so delicious. Served with tea and prosecco - both also delicious. The price was very fair and I have no complaints. I recommend this place to anyone wanting delicious food, a celebration or even a quiet and delicious meal whilst you work (there were others in the bar at the tome working in their laptops and eating). The staff were so friendly and attentive, without being over bearing. This seems like a great place to just go for a drink as well.

This was my third visit to Wagaya and every time has been a wonderful experience! The food is incredible and the price is highly reasonable — we spent less than $150.00 between three of us which was unexpected! Definitely get your moneys worth :) Wagaya is one of my top Japanese restaurants to visit in Brisbane and I’ll continue to be a patron for the long run.
