Review Wai-wai Dining - Southport

Awesome food, great original Japanese flavors. We had a la cart lunch. Portion size was very large. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be back

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. 🥢🍱😋

the price with food quality are reasonable but needs more flavor if the dip because meal too much oil so can't eat too much. The service and ser food speed ok not like some another buffet they afraid people eat too much.

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 !

It’s my first visit for lunch 🍱 I had Pork loin Katsu gozen $19.5 and weekly special Japanese tuna sashimi 3 kinds plate $24.9. They used to have mixed katsu which was loin and fillet. I wanted to try that. Their pork is Bangalow pork today. It’s first try to have brand pork 😍 The pork itself tasted very good even the fatty part😋 But I know loin has a little bit fat. This pork had more than I thought. Sashimi is 6 pieces on the menu, I got 9 pieces yay😁 But this plate more fatty part😅 it seems no middle fatty part…. Totally I had happy lunch ☺️ I was too full 😳 I’d love to try their beef dish next time.

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.

Dinner buffet is absolutely value for money. Delicious and quality food! Recommend restaurant to have Sukiyaki buffet too~ �

好吃好吃～� 肉給的份量很夠，而且又是跟和牛屋的肉同等級，第一次在澳洲吃到道地的壽喜燒～��� 唯一就是門面太小又不顯眼，一件很容易被路過錯過的店�
