About

Wasai is a long-standing Adelaide favorite known for its authentic Japanese dishes like sukiyaki and sashimi. While many diners praise the consistent quality and friendly service, recent renovations have led to a smaller, more cramped dining space. Some customers find the new layout noisy and the service inconsistent during peak hours. Overall, it remains a go-to spot for a solid, reliable meal if you book ahead.
