The finest meal I have ever had in Australia. If you enjoy this kind of food, get on a plane and stay in one of the most gorgeous, pristine nooks in all of Australia. When you combine an educated palate with a love of the beach and ocean culture of this amazing little town (and throw in some great shopping, surfing, or at least surfERS), there are few places in the world I would recommend higher than than Noosa, and this must be its best restaurant. I went to Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (I am a destination diner) and I bet the dishwashers at Wasabi eat better than the guests at Dinner. Absolutely amazing. I think my eyes were closed half of the time- the flavor combinations were just genius. If Einstein had a restaurant, this would be it.
Lovely quiet & intimate restaurant. Book early to sit close to the water! The staff happily space your courses out & there’s no later sitting which allows you to enjoy your meal.
We had the 9 course which was absolutely fabulous. Nice space between the courses which provided a relaxed night. We also had the matching drinks- wouldn’t recommend the matching drinks if you’re not a huge fan of sake (which I’m not).
9 course menu is very wide and offers some beautiful seafood & interesting flavours.
Big price tag but worth it for a special occasion & a lovely evening. Disappointing having to pay an extra $27 each for the beef- beef was divine but very expensive for 50g each.
We booked Wasabi based on a recommendation from a friend. I was shocked to see this restaurant only have a 3.7/5 review! Majority of the bad reviews are based around not being family friendly or too expensive - but they clearly say on their website food can't be altered for kids (no kids menu), and, you don't go to a place like this to be cost effective! So I still had high hopes for our experience...
It did not disappoint!! We ordered the 7 course degustation which started out with about 4 tasters which were divine! The food is beautifully presented, and fresh produce treated with care (that they grow or source locally). We were full by the end of it, and finished off with a lovely selection of tea.
What adds to this restaurant is their location, and if you can, ask for a window seat!
We will be back!
nice experience, a menu very carefully put together. a little disappointing that you need to pay so much extra for beef. each dish was amazing. not suitable for children.
Wow! did the 4 course menu (adding oysters... always add oysters) and it was so delightful. The courses were beautifully presented and prepared, with such creative and interesting flavour combinations. the service was thoughtful and helpful without being intrusive. We also enjoyed some lovely wines recommended by the sommelier. Every detail was attended to, from the art on the walls, the tatami seating to the beautiful cutlery and plates. would recommend - and hope to visit again!
Had the omekase menu and enjoyed the experience! Beautifully presented food, complex flavors, innovative, good balance, attention to detail with different textures, using incredible ingredients and fresh produce. The service was good, waiter and waitresses were very attentive. Loved the whole experience! See pictures below
Not even going to bother looking for points to take away from wasabi. It was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed a 9 course dego with my wife while sitting at a lovely window table. The waiter was efficient and knowledgeable and made the night a beautiful ballet of eating and entertainment. Favourite dishes were the heirloom carrot dish and the kingfish sashimi. Each dish was delicate and balanced perfectly with just the right amount of umami for each piece of food. It's expensive, but get there!
You cannot fault this amazing tastebud sensation of a restaurant
Ambience stays true to the culture of Japan with the added bonus of a stunning Noosa sunset over the river
Every mouthful is an explosion of flavour yet delicate and petite
Elegantly presented and masterminded in creation

It was a last minute decision to take the plunge and dine like royalty. We booked on Thursday morning for Friday lunch. I asked for a table with a view, and I think if you are looking for a view, go for lunch and not dinner. The weather plays a big part in the whole experience. We were sitting right at the edge where we were able to open the louvres and allow the breeze to come through. It was almost surreal. The restaurant itself was very well decorated and fitted out. It even comes with the traditional floor setting which would be a great experience. The choice of music was a little odd. Jazz music all afternoon. I was imagining traditional Japanese music and would believe that it would be more appropriate.
The food, I am not sure how to write a review without carrying on forever. We selected the 7 course omakase. I am not going to go through every course. But will highlight the particularly memorable ones.
The spanner crab tempura, was a standout. The batter was bubbly and light, the custard, was very difficult not to mop up every drop. The dish incorporating the onigiri and duck broth, was just amazing. The broth was so rich, but clear and somehow refreshing. The dessert, was unexpectedly fabulous!
The service is impeccable. All the table service staff very knowledgeable and explained every dish. Whether or not they really knew what they were talking about, I don't quite care. It isn't easy to remember all of the components of the dishes, not to mention explain it to the diners.
If you are not going to think of how much it costs, and how expensive every mouthful is going to be. It will be a very enjoyable experience. It isn't just about the food, but the whole experience itself. This is definitely a restaurant that also feeds the eyes. Every dish is painstakingly beautifully prepared.
If it is a special occasion or a treat for someone special, by all means make a reservation. But if you are going to keep thinking of how much it costs, perhaps don't bother as it will spoil the whole experience.
By the way, 7 courses was sufficient to feed us both. Both my partner and I have very healthy appetites.
This place is amazing. Texture taste balance and totally satisfying. Great wine list fantastic staff. Not cheap but worth every cent as a sensory experience. We will be back
Could not fault the setting , food or service . It was a nice change to have professional and attentive service throughout the evening . The food was fresh innovative and interesting . It is on the high end price wise but one does not think twice when you receive what you pay for . Very enjoyable and we will be back .
A really nice venue, the views are really nice, we preferred getting there for a 5pm dinner so you have some light before the sun sets. We opted for the Kyara (might be incorrectly spelled) which is the longer menu. The food overall was really good with a couple of standout dishes, however, a couple of dishes were just "okay" for us. Overall a very nice experience with some excellent wines available and the staff were all lovely and helpful.

Dining experience here is just amazing! Well created fusion food keeping the roots of good fine Japanese roots mixed with trending cuisine. The stag is very attentive and willing to make good recommendations and explanations! Decent wine and sake list!
Wasabi is an elegant restaurant. The perfect place to celebrate an anniversary, or any intimate moment with loved ones. Their wine list is extensive and the food delicious. Al l the Wasabi staff are friendly and helpful.
We love this restaurant. Each time we have been the food has been different and exciting. The use of Australian and local ingredients Highlights the chiefs dedication to exceptional food. Would highly recommend the omekase menu as the kitchen and staff have never sent anything short of delicious!
The staff were attentive but not intrusive and were very careful of my unusual dietary allergies (tomato, coconut and almonds) clarifying and then ensuing that I was free to enjoy the dishes as they came.
An expensive meal but exceptional value for money.
Beautiful setting and menu. Enjoyed the long menu for 165$ which had 9 courses, some with multiple dishes within them. Ask for a table by the window.
Top notch customer service and excellent food. It was for our first year wedding anniversary and they gave us a beautiful handwritten card. The drink options matching with each meal course were one of the best experiences. Definitely recommend for special memory!.
Absolutely fantastic dinning experience. My wife and I had a lovely evening here for our anniversary. The set menu comes in a few options and if you choose so can be accompanied by matched wine with each course. This is my new favourite in Noosa.
