@Aby : I can’t remember exactly, it might of been a $100 deposit but get it back. They don’t charge for the room hire, but things might have changed so best to confirm with them over the phone.

[...] rice. There is a strong hint of wasabi in this, it almost feels like I am playing sushi roulette at Wagaya though this time it is me who has the wasabi bomb. Scallops [...]

My my my. I’m looking around for recipes for soft shelled crab and stumble upon this. You have amazed me, I really don’t think I’ll cook it myself, I think my husband can just take me here instead! Thanks for sharing.

seems like every food blogger is at one point trying this place as i’ve seen so many reviews of it. looks a bit like a japanese tapas place with all those yummy looking dishes.

oh mate, you made me salivate there, you took some awesome pictures (as usual) love the shallow DOF. I really do miss eating sushi in sydney, nothing in london compares to sydney in the fresh fish department.

sigh.

at least, i have your pictures to gawk at

Anita : Wagaya is definately the place to go with friends, especially if ‘authentic’ Japanese isn’t their priority.

Chocolate suze- We had an adriano zumbo cake.. OMG Chocolate heaven!!.. but by the time the cake was served, I think we were all too smashed to remember to take a photo of it LOL David Cc- Thanks David.. sooo does that mean you get a discount if you go there =D Ffichiban- THanks for the birthday wish.. haha I think when everyone is pissed, somehow everything just seems to work. The squishy sitting area that was originally there somehow looks spacious through beer goggles. Goofus- LOL Thank you!!! I promise myself that would be the last last last ever barfday.

Simon : It’s perfect for a DIY gathering as they don’t bother you unless you call them via the touch screen. The last dish is indeed lotus root chips, this just goes to show I would make a very poor food critic

Y : lol Y! I think the bill can be a bit overwhelming if you only dine with a few people. It’s definately better for big groups.

Bubz : That’s exactly how they do it, minus the knocking bit. They just ignore the rowdiness, collect the empty plates and go on their merry way. They even crack a smile or two when we started cheering everytime they came in, ‘The Price is Right’ style and all.

The room was $50 for the 25 people room. Quite a bargain!

Arwen : The iPod feature is great, infact all their gadgets work straight off the bat it is quite awesome.

Billy : It’s tough trying to take food photos with 22 people! Lucky we had a private room because I was in all sorts of awkard positions trying to make sure no one was in the photos lol.

Chocolatesuze : We had a cake but I forgot to take a photo of it! We were too tipsy by that time. It was an Adriano Zumbo Chocolate cake, 11 layers of chocolate!

Helen : Thanks, it was definately tough with 22 people! The private rooms are very well designed, nice ambience in there as well. It’s worth the $50 if you have more than 10 people.

David : Oh really ? He must be quite a wealthy man both his joints have no shortage of patrons.

FFichiban : The biggest room has plenty of room on the sides, we even managed to play charades at one stage.

Suzie : This time I had the receipt which was itemised with prices, very handy!

Akwoo : Shira Nui, I’ve noted it down. A quick search on google and it looks pretty good.

Goofus : Not sure if I would call it trusted! But it gives you an idea on what to expect in terms of food

I've always heard people raving on about this place.. It's good to finally see a trusted review, with the ever appetising pictorials! Place looks pretty snazzy, will have to put it on my ever-growing to-do list. Happy barfday Linda! ^_^ (well, hope it wasn't too much of a barfday haha) goofus’s last blog post..Stranded, city-style.

howard how do you always remember the complicated names of the dishes?

Happy Bday Linda! Hahah you hooligans stress testing the rooms hee hee. Ooh there was space to dance? When I peered into the rooms, I don’t remember seeing that much room :S

Yeah the food here has gone down since it first opened but the touch screen/service is fast and efficient

As Billy mentions, we ate here recently, although I'm still working on my pics from our dinner. I was very curious about the private rooms - I loved the atrium in that area with the blocks of wood protruding from the wall. And well done on all the photos - not an easy feat with 22 ravenous partygoers I would imagine! Helen’s last blog post..Ching Yip Coffee Lounge, Haymarket Chinatown, Sydney
