Japanese

Compared with other restaurants in Chinatown, Wagaya is a novelty. It's not just the touch screen ordering system - you peruse, you choose and food arrives within 15 minutes - but the space, which has a warm, modern decor and intimate booth seating. Expect tasty, cheap food served quickly. For those yet to test the waters of tofu, try it deep-fried; the crisp exterior and marshmallow interior coupled with an umamish broth will surprise you. If you're a seafood lover, a light tempura crab or fresh kingfish sushi won't disappoint in taste or value for money. Fans of 'cook your own' will delight in the hot pots. Those new to Japanese food might find the menu bewildering but there is help at your fingertips with the 'call waiter' button for a fast and friendly appearance by staff to explain the dishes for you. Perfect for a family meal, quick lunch or for a fun banquet with friends.
