Lovely service and great simple and tasty food !
Definitely recommend a degustation night there.
The sashimi is fresh and authentic.
The sauces are all made on site and have extensive selections.

Ordered through UberEATS at around 8:20pm and the food didn't arrive until 9:45pm which seemed a bit excessive for some sushi, sashimi and a Katsu curry, but without knowing how busy the restaurant is, can't complain too much. When it did arrive, it was delicious, the Katsu curry in particular was great. Not cheap due to the fresh and high grade fish being used but very, very tasty and held up well on the delivery front. Would try again but maybe pick it up myself!
great japanese food with modern twist
my favourites:
- edamame (best edamams i've had, although was the first time i tried it, may be skewed)
- aburi nigiri (very good)
- soba salad (very good)
Restaurant has been handed over. Food is still delicious but recommend take away or delivery as atmosphere and service are not to be found... We were alone on a Saturday night.
Great delivery!! Ordered through Deliveroo and arrived fresh and hot this week. Spring rolls were amazing and full of vegetables, the gyoza delicious, tempura vegetables a bit oily but I guess that's what you get - chicken katsu was a thigh fillet and I prefer breast but partner loved it. Really good delivery if you are in the mood for Japanese!
Wa Modern is the brand new Japanese restaurant at the quiet end of Glenferrie Road where Maris used to be. The food, a kind of modern Japanese fusion, is terrific. We've visited twice and while it's all great, my favourites are the Teriyaki Salmon Don and Soba Salad. The portions are huge. The Chicken Namban and Prawn Mayo Cracker are also excellent. Service is attentive and personable and the food comes out at a steady clip. I can't quite understand why this restaurant is so quiet. Go before it gets crowded. You won't regret it.
It's 9.40pm the hungers have hit. Had soup for dinner, hasn't quite satisfied the hungry bear. Out for an adventure something new. Hmm this looks good, positive reviews let's give it a go. Ordered my favorite Katsu Curry and a serve of pork Gyoza, just to make sure the beast is content. Well, yum, very nice beautiful tender chicken, flavour packed curry, generous serve. And the Gyoza was very nice. Boy I'm glad I stopped here booking this one in for a few more go's.

Located right at the southern end of Glenferrie Road, Wa Modern has been serving contemporary Japanese food since July last year. They also has a special lunch menu, though the dinner menu, which is mainly designed for sharing, is still available during lunchtime.
Filled with lots of fresh seafood and combined with coriander, avocado and a touch of Kewpie mayo, the Wa Roll was
Just amazing. Lunch with gf and we just got so surprised how amazing the food and service is .. Clean and relaxed place to eat.
We Will definitely be back!!
Been here a few times now( well more than few, more like once a week). I can't believe it's run by 2 person, one in front and one in the kitchen, some times there is a wait for the food but, it's well worth the wait, in mean time Yuriko will keep you happy with minimal but well thought after drinks list, but once the food come out the wait is over, the food is amazing, so far I have not yet find a fault in food. I'm sort of a person who loves to drink and eat few small dishes, so this place is perfect for me, every time I'm here there is a couple of new dishes on the special wich keeps me interested and happy, no doubt that I'll keep coming back to this place for the food and the service.
The environment in Wa Modern gives a cozy feeling and the services is friendly and efficient. Food here is impeccably prepared by an amazing chef. Two thumbs up!!!
Awesome Japanese food!!! Just love it. Food is amazing and the customer service is great. One person out the front doing everything, the little lady is a machine. I highly recommend this place it's a hidden gem.
Food is AMAZING!. Have been here a few times already and seriously, possibly one of the best Japanese I have had in Melbourne. The flavours are authentic and clean, not commercial or conventional. Dishes are very traditional, but with a modern twist. The nasa dengaku, miso duck, salmon tataki, and the prawn mayo cracker are a must try. HIGHLY recommend this place as the price you pay is more than worthy, especially with what is offered!
Food was delicious especially the Wa roll and the Chilli roll. I think this will become a local favourite very quickly.
The best so far. I found most of the japanese restaurant selling sushi roll, never like it.
love the sushi over this place. will come back it again.
Authentic jap food, yummy
Mag3. Awesome Japanese modern restaurant !!
Really delicious Japanese food. We had the special $80 for two menu and it was fantastic value and awesome quality and variety. We'll be back many times I can see.
We have visited this brand-new Japanese restaurant. Food was very authentic and yummy. Our most favourite would be Nasudengaku Gratin. It is very different from other's Nasudengaku but it definitely worths to try:)
We are looking forward to going back there to try more dishes!
The delightful Yuriko Hinamoto, co-owner, in charge of the restaurant’s sleek service explained that the head chef and co-owner, Masa Harada, used to work at Koko in Crown Casino where we used to frequent regularly for their delicious, albeit seriously overpriced, sushi. So we knew, straight away, that we would be sampling a great deal of sushi that day. As it turned out – Chef Harada is capable of a whole lot more than just sushi...
