  We had been to this place in the past and from that experience we suggested this as our dinner spot to my family. Everything looked similar and we were greeted by friendly staff and guided to our long bench booth to cater for 9 of us.It was a tight squeeze but with 3 kids we managed.took us a while to decide in the food, so we asked for the hard copy menus for easier reference. Drinks were done first, popular choice was the green matcha iced latte.Nice drink to start the meal, then we started to order the food. One after the other, octopus balls, ox tongue, hot pot, ramen noodles, sushi, salads, fried oysters and finishing with squid. Don’t forget the kids, avocado mini rolls and tuna mini rolls. There was just enough food to feed this hungry lot.Service was quick and efficient, clearing plates once finished. Their system works well and if you need assistance there is a button which you can call them.The food was, very average, nothing standout. For the price you pay, was expecting more. I think there is less on the menu from the last visit and quality is not the same.There are other places were you can spend this much and get a better meal.

  First dinner in Brisbane. Not bad. Taste good but ox tongue is a bit over cooked. Good place for friends catch up, friendly staffs. Also ordered tofu and noodles are all good.

  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 bonesAs 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) were great value though. Casual ambience – love the semi-private wooden booths, but can get loud and rowdy.Overall, a great night out of trying various well-prepared Japanese cuisines and drinks.

  Lately, I have no luck in exploration and always encounter the situation that the intended place for exploration is closed for the day that I try to attempt. Second to Ying Cha No. 9 was the District 1 near the Chinatown mall that I attempted yesterday for lunch. Having said that District 1 I a forgivable case that they put a notice at the frond door window explaining what has been happened and it earns my appreciation without hard-feeling and disappointment.Since we have missed the District 1, we walked down the mall and all of the sudden, the sign of Wagaya came across our sight so gave it go. Have not been back for a very long time and this business is keeping well, which indicates that there must be hidden factor of success. Walked up the stairs instead of taking the life. When we arrived at the counter, the scale of the dining area really gave a big surprised. The highlighted should be the individual cabinets for dining, which gives customers lots of privacy and provides a place for them to concentrate on enjoying the food & beverage. Make use of digital ordering system is very popular nowadays but this restaurant is the pioneer four years ago. Perused the menu and discovered the average prices charged are above average as compared to an order of scampi with $12.00 for two to the Sushi Edo only charges for $3.80 each. Finally, we decided to go for an order of Pork Gyoza, Fried Seafood Udon and a Sashimi don. Honestly, Gyoza is only average because we have better one elsewhere. However, the other dishes earn marks back. Fried udon is much better than the one that we had at the Iron Pan at Grange the other day. There are more varieties of seafood and importantly the taste is good. Sashimi don came with miso soup, rice and a platter of sashimi with six types of seafood. Miso is the most richest in flavour of the same type compared to other Japanese restaurant. Fish, oyster, scallop and octopus are all fresh. Then I understand that they serve quality food, which is proportional to the prices being charged for. Well, a fair deal and no wonder it can serve in the strong competition around Chinatown area. Thumb-up!July 21, 2014 Rating 3/5No surprise but the ordering system. A big tick on utilising information technogy for restaurant business but I can’t see any extra-ordinary dishes that will make me say ‘Wow!’.Price is not cheap as compared to other authentic Japanese restaurants such as Hosokawa,……..
