WA

My new favourite Japanese restaurant in Sydney! Warm & friendly Japanese staff, excellent & fresh food and authentically Japanese - which is rare to find in Sydney these days. I will be coming here again & again! Thank you Wa team 💓

Wow! So we have been Wa customers for 17 years. When we wanted to eat out, Wa Japanese Restaurant Cafe was our favorite. We had Wa catering - sushi and other yummy dishes - for our son’s 21st birthday party. The food at Wa was always superb, prepared fresh, authentic Japanese and artistically presented and eating out of beautiful Japanese porcelain ware and drinking out of clean, gleaming glasses were so refreshing.

Last night, my husband and I brought our visiting son and his guest back to Wa. He missed saying hi to the friendly chefs. He missed the fine food.

We each had the 6-course dinner. The verdict: food quality and presentation is a welcome constant. Wa does its best to ensure its offerings are done the same always: whether it be years ago, yesterday or today. We have been to restaurants where food quality varies. Not with Wa. Fine food is always presented in the freshest and most artistic form.

Wa is on the ground floor (on the right) of The Forum, a commercial and residential building, 310-330 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction. Wa is open Tuesday to Saturday 11am - 2.30pm, 5 - 9.30pm; Sunday 5 - 9.30pm. It is closed Mondays.

The first impression of the menu was that the price is on the high end, but after the food arrived and tasted, it is worth every penny. Waguy beef so tender, juicy and source full of flavours. Specially rice for sushi and set menu dishes. Good location but limited seating capacity and spacr when it's busy. The indoor seating allows you to unintentionally hear your neighbours conversation at the next table. Very friendly and attentive staff serving customers. Highly recommended if you are after quality and service.

Beautiful food, lovely staff, reasonably priced. BYO if you fancy a drink as well. We will definitely be back!

First time here but it was very impressive! Food was so delicious and service was so friendly. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

I ordered the smoked salmon and avocado salad with salmon caviar. It was so good! They also gave me a complimentary miso soup and a sushi piece. I would highly recommend this place because of it's friendly service and price.

The best kept secret in Bondi Junction. This is a Japanese restaurant with a French flair. The food is fantastic and beautifully presented. The staff are friendly and super fast.

Good food, quiet, can usually get a table, good service.

I love this place!! Authentic Japanese food ; the staff is helpful and kind.

Best Sukiyaki Soup I have ever had.
Friendly staff - yes everyone works there Japanese 😊

One of my absolute favourite Japanese restaurants in Sydney ♥♥

WA is absolutely one of our favourite Bondi gems!! You really can't go wrong with a thing! Everything is made with high quality ingredients and the dishes are beautiful presented. The staff are beyond lovely. Would absolutely recommend! Great food and very pleasant atmosphere!

The sushi is amazing . It is mixed with red rice?

If you're looking for a nice place to escape the busyness of Bondi Junction this is a great little restaurant with a nice, quiet atmosphere and delicious, authentic Japanese food. I especially loved the Pumpkin Croquette and vegetable Tempura and look forward to trying out some of their other dishes.

Very healthy choices of food. Big serves, too. Good service. Try their salads!👍

One of my favourite Japanese places in Sydney. Really reasonably priced as well. Order everything, you won't be disappointed. Good kids menu, and they deal with groups quite well. The salads are amazing.

I had a fantastic dinner at Wa last night. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. We ate edamame, prawn gyoza, agedashi tofu, chicken yakitori and some sushi and sashimi. Everything was fresh and full of flavour. I recommend anyone to go here. The restaurant’s other guests included families as well as groups of adults out for a laugh. The restaurant is byo so you can bring a bottle for a small corkage fee.

The food is exceptionally good and well priced.
I could easily dine here twice a week

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Have been going here for years now and its still amazing as it was when I first went. If you're wanting to take away your lunch or dinner, I would recommend calling to order ahead as it does get very busy!

Favourite restaurant in the area! The food is so yummy and the staff are very friendly and kind. Always a joy to eat at Wa :)
