WAGAYA Japanese Restaurant Brisbane, Fortitude Valley
The name Wagaya “わがや”, resonates with warmth and familiarity, and invites everyone into its embrace. 'Our Home', as it translates from Japanese, is not just a name, but a promise - a promise of a unique dining experience filled with a sense of belonging and shared joy.

Amidst the city's hustle, find solace in our atmosphere of shared laughter, clinking glasses, and testament to the heart of Japanese cooking, a narrative of the country's culinary journey. Our offerings, ranging from fresh sashimi to delicate ramen, are lovingly crafted, drawing you into the comforting ambience of a Japanese family kitchen. At Wagaya, we offer not just food, but a nostalgic, heartwarming experience that brings Japan closer to you.

    Visiting Brisbane - so we booked weeks ahead. Our “booth” was right at the back of the restaurant with a view in to part of the kitchen (not a pleasant view of food prep). Food ordered - service quick & food was mostly very good. Finding the entrance to the restaurant not easy if you don’t know the area. Would probably dine here again but ask for a different seating location.

    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.

    Dinner for 4 in a private room - dishes came put very fast, easy ordering on the ipad, most dishes were good value for money. Nice venue with car parking in the opposite building which is hardy. Only negative - cardboard/disposable plates and forks provided when we were having our cake which we bought with us.
