For lunch they will serve free green tea and seaweed salad which is another plus.
Very humble tucked away little Japanese restaurant and that's what I love. Delicious, warming food at a reasonable price nothing pretentious or overly done. I absolutely ADORE their Takana fried rice. I used to go for dinners here as a child and I would only eat the Takana fried rice. I'll be honest I haven't yet tried their Kimchi fried rice which is odd as I love kimchi fried rice, but I can't go past their Takana. Their other food is also delicious and a good size for price. Staff are friendly and the whole restaurant is very inclusive and together.
The great thing about Zomato is that it draws peoples attention to places where there is genuinely good food despite being hidden or sometimes not aesthetically pleasing to the eye from the street. This is the case with Waka Yakiniku. From the street to the inside it reminds you of a country Chinese restaurant where the furniture is basic and there is not much more than the bare essentials. This is not to say that the restaurant is dirty when in fact it is very clean.<br/ <br/ I wasn't very hungry and read here that their sushi was uber fresh so chose the Sashimi Moriawase (Salmon and Kingfish). But true to genuine Japanese hospitality, they were not going to let you starve so despite the $15 price, out came a small plate of pickled daikon, a bowl of rice, miso soup and the plate of sashimi, which mind you had an extra scallop there! Talk about under promising and over delivering! All these extras were not listed on the menu and this is on top of the already free tea. The sashimi was indeed very fresh. It makes you laugh to think that for $15 in Chatswood, you're lucky to get 8 pieces of sashimi!<br/ <br/ Given the quality of everything served, it gives you trust with everything else they have to offer on the menu. The service was very friendly and it just goes to show that sometimes you need to visit the smaller suburbs to find these gems that no popular suburb or city restaurants can offer.
Wakana is probably the best Japanese Yakiniku restaurant in the Artarmon-Chatswood area. The restaurant was not fancily decorated. Simple, humble and clean are the words that comes into my mind every time I dine here.I've tried their Yakiniku a few years before and I still remember how good and fresh the meat tasted! Today I went to have lunch with a friend. We've ordered a Salmon fried rice and Wakana Don (sashimi with raw egg and seed weeds on rice . Both dishes tasted very good! Sashimi was fresh. The raw egg helped to blend every component together and the bit of vinaigrette taste of the marinated sea weed made the dish very refreshing! Salmon fried rice was not bad as well! Serving of the dish is generous and pure YUM! Also I've tried their $10 Wagyu beef don and their Katsu curry. Both are pretty good. Worth to try and keep trying ;
One of our favourite BBQ restaurants! Authentic Japanese food, great quality meat at a reasonable price, fresh ingredients, efficient and friendly service… we are never disappointed!
