This was our first visit to Wagyuto. Although it's not far from our home, we were completely unaware of it, but luckily stumbled upon it while surfing the internet. And boy are we glad we did. We went there for a combined Valentine's Day/wedding anniversary celebration, and the restaurant exceeded expectations. Great food, brilliant attentive service, lovely ambience, and reasonably priced considering the very high quality. We're definitely going to become regulars.

Kingfish was over powered by the finger lime, Karachi chicken and pork belly were good- all starters Wagu Beef - main course was good but 150g is a little light for a main dish with 5 thin sliced beef. Overall dining experience - foods good but I wouldn’t go back in a hurry.

The service and the food here is excellent, the best Japanese food in the Eastern suburbs. It can be a little noisy and a bit close at times but they need the tables to pay the bills. The portion sizes are very good but a little more would be great but thankfully the prices are reasonable. Thanks guys!
