The food was excellent but the service was ok. A party of 6 was actually seated after us and they got their drinks and food before we did. We had grab MULTIPLE servers just to get what we wanted. Besides that, the food was amazing. The Wagyu was impeccable.

Very good Japanese food, good atmosphere and helpful staff. Have been there a few times, and never been disappointed. My tip is to have the BBQ rather than than the a la carte

The Wagyu beef here is delicious. They also have an exciting collection of mixed drinks. Even though they were so busy the night we went they made a big effort to find us a seat to wait.

Wagyu Ya have successfully replicated a typical grill restaurant in Japan in terms of layout, ambience and food quality. There is an extensive variety of premium quality meat cuts and Japanese beer, sake, shochu and whiskey. There is even a separate menu for marble 10+ wagyu which I highly recommend. The desserts are delicate yet have the subtle notes of typical japanese flavours of yuzu and matcha. The staff are very accommodating. Although the price is on the dearer side, it's worth it as this is the standard you receive in Japan. I highly recommend this place.

The best beef in Melbourne, best sauces, best kimchi, and best wafu salad. Take cash as you get 5% off At the end, which means more wagyu!

The staff were very accommodating and the food was ridiculously good. Servings were much larger than expected as we came in a group of 5 and ordered the set for 4 but still couldn't finish. Bang for your buck.

Delicious, high quality Japanese food and decent serving size. Their wagyu oyster blade and thin ox tongue is consistently good. Plus, they have the best nasu dengaku in Melbourne. Service is generally quite good. If you go during peak times, the waitstaff can be busy and sometimes doesn't notice you calling them, but they'll eventually get to you and are still courteous.

Unfortunately was the customer service worst experience ever! From the drinks to the dessert! Quality of food was good, nothing exceptional in rapport of the price we paid! $90 per person with $30 sake, still water, 1 coke and 1 jus, 🤔🤔🤔. We are not understand how is possible to forget drink, plates, child request, sauce, ecc!!!

The dishes were all absolutely amazing. The punch was surprisingly nice too and didn't taste too strong even though we added 4 shots of vodka in. The meat is so soft and just melts in your mouth. Will definitely be back!

Great food - we had the assorted sashimi and wagyu BBQ dishes! Very efficient service - food came out promptly; in fact the only negative feedback being the wait staff were too eager to clear our empty plates once we have finished and they kept doing that 4-5 times throughout our stay there. However, will definitely return!

The lunch bento box was awesome! The shabu shabu was good but a tad salty... would be much better if they cut down on the sauce.

Small and cozy with really delicious good food. The experience is let down a little by fairly indifferent service... there’s little feeling of hospitality and being listened to, and out table interrupted mid-sentence more than once when they wanted to talk. But look past that, the food outweighs the service thing, we’ll go again.
