Wai-wai Dining - Southport (QLD)

My daughter and I came across this authentic, Izakaya style Japanese restaurant walking back from the GC marathon. Walking inside reminded us of the many similar restaurants we visited in Japan. Many small private booths as well as private rooms with low tables for traditional seiza or zashiki dining (sitting on the the floor). Each booth has a touch screen menu to order from. We enjoyed several dishes including miso soup, beef, udon noodle soup and katsu (panko crumbed) chicken. The whiskey highball that we developed a taste for in Japan was a little weak and my only disappointment with the menu was no Agedashi tofu which i love. The staff were very polite and sweet. We look forward to returning same time next year.

Arrived late for our booking and the staff were still extremely welcoming and gave us the best service! Food was incredible quality even for the end of the night, plus in terms of Japanese bbq, the hot plate was an awesome size, and the selections were vast! We did the $78 all you can eat tasting menu and left full and very happy! Well done guys

What an amazing restaurant food was of the highest quality and the service here was amazing truly the staff went above and beyond to deliver and help out with menu. Without a doubt a fantastic experience in comparison to a lot of restaurants out there with their sub par service nowadays. Owner/manager was absolutely fantastic so welcoming and helpful throughout the night. Highly recommend especially the $78 bbq buffet will not disappoint! Cannot wait to come back to try the rest of the menu !

We had a very delicious lunch! Will come back and try their BBQ hot pot buffet. Very few places on the Gold Coast serves tonkatsu.. So happy we found one

Very good. The wagyu is pretty good. Worth the money，excellent service.
