Definitely loving this karaoke here, mixed with food and drinks!!!! Perfect to chill with friends !!!! Food was delicious.
The lovely setting of Lantern by Wagaya feels very authentic with the intimate traditional seating and overhead lantern decorations. It offers a great lunch deal combination with free karaoke with spends over $20 and the booths are great. It surprisingly has a vast menu with a lot of different choices for both lunch and dinner.
🍽 DISHES SAMPLED
⭕️ SEARED SALMON CREAM CHEESE ROLL |
A must try item if you're craving sushi and stopping by Lantern by Wagaya. The cream cheese is so tasty and melts alongside the seared salmon. it is definitely one of the best salmon sushi rolls I've ever tried.
⭕️ TAKOYAKI, TEMPURA & DUMPLINGS |
The takoyaki and tempura were good, but not great. They tasted like pretty standard sushi train type dishes found at your typical casual japanese dining places. The dumplings definitely tasted homemade, fresh and was very savoury.
⭕️ LANTERN STRAWBERRY MOJITO |
The taste of alcohol is stronger than expected in this mojito, but I can really see how it's a special drink concoction of Lantern by Wagaya. It's one of the better mojitos I've tried and a hidden gem I didn't expect to be impressed by after dining here.

The food was really good for the price, and had a really good selection of dishes, as well as drinks. The service was quick and efficient. The restaurant does get a bit too dark, and sometimes can get very loud due to the close proximity the restaurant is with the karaoke rooms. However, overall I had a good experience with this restaurant and have been here multiple times to dine or karaoke. Would highly recommend this place, especially if you're looking for a cheap place to do karaoke and eat.
We came into Wagaya just 5 minutes before the kitchen was to shut. We ordered real quickly and were surprised at how fast and fresh the food was when it came out. Food was also very delicious!
I love dining here as the food is very well priced, presented well & tastes great! I have been here upon separate occasions and have always enjoyed it! I really recommend the jap pork hotpot as it was super hearty and tasty , the cheese gratin is a must try entree !!! The chicken and cheese curry is also super tasty & during lunch time they do a $15 udon set which is great value!!
4/5 for the value of karaoke and simple Japanese dishes (generous serving). Not much choice for desserts and don’t expect much from the service (
Amazing food and fast service. The grilled salmon sushi is delectable and a must order. The ramen here is good and affordable with a nice soup base. The takoyaki is great too. Overall good price good food and good customer service
Can't get over this place, my love for the $30 cocktail jugs , sashimi and salmon and avocado hand rolls will always keep me coming back for more.
I remember Wagaya used to be in Chinatown. Not sure what happened there after I came in. But they have an incredible menu ranging from seafood to fried chicken that will make you filled up inside on a winters night or just having a chilled lunch. I remembering ordering a whole heaps of sushi and the others ordered hotpot or even vegeterian foods. The variety is alot. We had a group of almost 10 people which we ate quite the amount. Also ordered some smooth cocktail which i dont remember the name but I remember it was a green with white liquid in it. It was so good that I ordered it again. Would like to come back here to see the new menu.
A Japanese restaurant/karaoke. We originally wanted to go to Wagaya in Chinatown, but it was closed for renovation. A bit hard to find given it's upstairs in a high rise building & there's not much signage nor directions. It was still pretty early on Saturday night, but there were already karaoke signing coming through some of the rooms. We just wanted dinner & didn't have a booking, so had to vacant the table in just under 90 mins. The food came out pretty quickly, quality were not bad & prices reasonable. However the singing & noise coming out of the rooms were just bit distracting. Will probably go to Wagaya when it reopen instead.
4.5 Stars. Really great food, beautiful decor and good service. Not too expensive either. K is also pretty well priced!
good place, nice staff, great room size for doing crazy thing😅
its easy to use the touch screen machine, and we also can order food/drink from the tablet on the room!!! SUPERRRR EASY
they even give us mic cover for covid safe! amazing place!!!! i will come back sooon with my friends
Very good food and the prices are also decent. There is a wide variety of dishes from sushi to rice bowls. The karaoke rooms are big and spacious, the bathrooms are also clean. I would come back here again for Japanese food and also recommend others to do so.
The food was great. The karaoke rooms were great. Nice and clean. Good song selection.
A book to flick through with the songs would of been handy
And cocktails were pretty watery
Otherwise really good. Will go back
Went for a karaoke room, no meal. Staff were polite and friendly, karaoke room was clean, comfortably fitting 6 people. Good song selection, sound and microphones were also good. It wasn't special, but I had no reason to drop it from four stars. Would go again.
Loved our experience. The room was snazzy and intimate. Perfect size for our group. Food was awesome and such fast service. Customer service from the woman in the lobby was fantastic and the rest of the team who served us our food then let us know our time was up.
