Wasai Japanese Kitchen

Good quality food

Grrat tasty food.

Great customer service and good food

One of our all time favourite restaurants in Adelaide. I’d recommend booking in advance as walk-in availability is quite rare. The food here is exceptional and the best part is - it’s always consistent and never disappoints. Wasai is a well known Adelaide establishment just off Gouger St near Chinatown. Every item on the menu is delicious. You’ll be back guaranteed. Staff are lovely too. Can never eat here without ordering the tori-mayo and aburi salmon roll!

Ordered agedashi tofu and nasu dengake for entree. The miso dressing on the nasu dengaku is really good. We ordered a deluxe sashimi and sushi boat. The aburi sushi and tamago definitely the standout dish on thr boat. Not a fan of the sashimi tho. For the main we ordered a braised pork on rice and katsu curry. The optional soft boiled egg is definitely a musy hav. Its cooked to perfectio. For a braised pork, I expected the meat to be more tender. No complains bout the marinate but the texture could be better. The curry is punchy and definitely tickle your taste bud. However, not a big fan of the breadding of the katsu.

Hands down my favourite Japanese restaurant. Best value for money. Super consistent, you know what you’re going to get every single time; great service, a delicious feed and an overall pleasant experience. Been coming here for years since I was a little kid and it changed from Genki to Wasai and I’ve never been let down. Also do yourself a favour and order the Aburi Salmon roll.

Really nice time. The banquet diverse and very large portions. Everything came out quickly to the table and staff were really friendly and attentive. Nice clean space. Overall, good value if you are there as a group.

Hands down my favourite Japanese restaurant in Adelaide. You can't fault the quality, service and value. The quality of the food is always consistent; I have been back at least a dozen times and it never disappoints! My favourite dishes include the aburi salmon roll, soba noodle salad and tori mayo. Everything is so fresh and bursting with flavour. Be sure to make a booking, particularly if it's a Friday or Saturday night; they are always busy.. and for good reason!

What a fantastic place. The service was outstanding from the waitress, she was so friendly and cheerful. The food was absolutely delicious and I was so impressed I am going back again. Oh and the soju flight took me off to Japan 😃 Everything was so fresh, from the sushi and sashimi, the chicken karaage and the takoyaki. The prices are reasonable and this place is definitely worth a visit.

Wasai is another great Japanese restaurant in Adelaide, I've been here several dozen times and count on them for dining in and getting a full sushi boat or a nice tonkatsu. It's a pretty place, with lots of seating and different areas set up for groups and solo diners. I'd suggest booking a spot if you want to bring friends and family as they are quite popular and you might have to wait. Also has a decent range of Japanese alcohol so consider trying a beer or sake you haven't tasted yet. Highly recommended 😄
