Yakiniku Restaurant Wakana

The feeling you get as you walk in is that the restaurant focuses on the quality of the ingredients rather than a fancy shop fitout. Meats offered are typically what you would find at a yakiniku with various cuts of Wagyu beef, some pork and chicken and seafood. The key is that the meat doesn't come out frozen like other yakiniku places meaning that the ingredients are freshly prepared. My go to is definitely the beef tongue as it is cut thick and is the only way they should be served to appreciate the full texture of the tongue.

The meat quality is outstanding, especially the premium Wagyu beef and beef tongue, which are absolute must-tries. It's clear that they focus on serving top-notch ingredients at an affordable price, which makes it an even better find.

The chiraishi is super fresh and excellent value for money, the grilled eel on rice is great and the surprise find is the Wagyu curry with rice. They probably use their BBQ offcuts and it's melt in the mouth amazing and super decadent, and all for only $15.

Ingredients were fresh, cooked when ordered and hot when picked up. Local run restaurant with authentic Japanese dishes and BBQ with reasonable prices.

My family and I have been coming here for over 10 years! The owner is always friendly as are his staff and the food is always fresh and excellent. Everything is reasonably priced, especially lunch and it is BYO as well.

Lunch in this Japanese restaurant for over twenty years. It is almost a custom that my wife and I have lunch here once a week. We don't order BBQ, but other Japanese food, namely teriyaki salmon, chicken, or beef...etc. Sometimes, we have noodles or a box of eels. Even a big bow of curry beef rices. These are authentic, delicious Japanese food cooked and prepared by the Japanese owner.
