Food was delicious and the in house made gluten free noodles tasted amazing! The owner was so lovely and accommodating to all our needs, and tried to make as many substitutions as she could. I can’t wait to return and try other items on the menu!! More

Absolutely incredible place! So delicious and their entire menu is gluten and dairy free, and not in the way where you can tell by looking like most places. It was all wonderfully delicious and I would recommend it to everyone, dietary … More

Highly recommend this little gem in Alexandria. One of the best Japanese places in the neighborhood, with a very local touch and focus on seasonal produce. Amazing quality food made with love at a great price point - you won't be disappointed! Definitely go for the bento and ramen (all gluten free) ☺️ More

Very good food. Was busy at the end of the day and we had to wait 45 minutes for takeaway. Still, I will return next time I am in Sydney. As a celiac, I am most comfortable eating at fully gluten free establishments. Also, loved the street food vibes of Wafu. More

Food was excellent and the owner was such a delight. We had the sushi bento, salmon miso men and chicken katsu curry. Felt like home cooked and nice sized portions. All very very good. Only downside is it is on busy Mitchell Road so a bit noisy from time to time. More

Exceptionally FRESH fish in the sushi rolls. Gluten free udon and ramen with such a rich broth, full of flavor and layers. Really refreshing to find a Japanese joint that doesn’t sacrifice on quality, and therefore taste. Quality is addictive and I see us coming back many more times! More

The service is really great here! I was served by an old lady who I presume is the owner, who was honestly very lovely and accomodating! Her earnest attitude really drove me to write this review! She saw each customer off after their meal … More

We arrived and there were very few staff members attending the tables, and the restaurant was completely full. It seemed like they were understaffed. We understand that weekends can be busy, so that wasn’t the main issue. … More

Completely gluten free and dairy free restaurant. Excellent for coeliacs. Delicious good value food. We had the bento and so much food for two!

Dairy free, gluten free across the menu and use different oil for vegetarian dishes. This means some compromises on some dishes like the katsu curry tasting just like pumpkin - and a bit bland. Have some interesting drinks rather than … More

Greeted by the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming — it immediately set the tone and raised our expectations, especially after reading so many positive reviews. Unfortunately, those expectations fell short once the meal arrived. … More

Disappointing experience. This is one of the least tasty Japanese meal I have had in years! And they made us wait for ages.
Don’t waste your time or money. … More

What a great hidden local Japanese place this turned out to be. What was even more surprising was that this place was an entirely gluten free restaurant. Such a rarity and a blessing for my coeliac friends. They have a varied menu of … More

We had Wafu Kitchen cater for a celebration we had at home. It took me a while to find a place that caters for all the dietary needs, and I don’t believe there’s many that could do it as well as Wafu. … More
