Wagaya

The verdict

Wagaya's simple, unfussy Japanese fare accompanies an extensive list of somewhat terrifyingly sugary cocktails; from pina colada to sukiyaki and yakitori. The Kirin is cheap, the sashimi fresh and the agedashi tofu perfectly crispy and tender.

Be sure to make a booking. Its central locale makes it a popular Friday night pit stop for diners looking for great Japanese food in Brisbane.
