Wasai Japanese Kitchen

Consistent in quality and a solid menu selection. The interior is quite nice and service is attentive enough. The Sashimi boat could have been better in terms of the quality of the meats used, but the quality is always consistently at that level. Other dishes are always of good quality. An 8/10 experience every time.

Wasai is one of the best Japanese restaurants in Adelaide and it shows as the place is always packed during peak hours (booking ahead is advised). The food and service can be a bit slow given how busy it can get. There is a good selection of japanese drinks as well. Pictured: Tempura main with prawn/vegetables, and deluxe sushi boat.

The restaurant is located in the heart of Adelaide city and pretty close to China town. One of the best Japanese restaurant in the town for sure. The quality of the sushis and sashimis were absolutely good and fine. I really enjoyed most of the items from scallop nigiri to tuna and salmon rolls. Good verity of authentic Japanese drinks. The staff were so professional, informative and patient. The service was a bit slow which can easily be improved. Also the choice of raw oyster on a sushi was not good at all. The combination was very unappetising, too fishy and not balanced. The fried dumplings and prawns were perfect. Well done to the team.

Reservations are probably ideal cause the place seemed really busy when we got there at 7. Service was alright but was good for a really busy place so wouldn't expect much more. Food and drinks was not as good as I expected but probably because I didn't get any sashmi or sushi. Would probably go back to only try out the sushi or sashmi.

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!

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!
