Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Fun vibes, great food, a dash of chaos.

WakuWaku is the kind of place that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance. With a quirky decor that might throw you off at first, the belly salmon sashimi quickly wipes away any doubts—it’s a jaw-dropping experience. Timothy was skeptical walking in, but he left raving about the food and the warm staff. Zak and friends also felt right at home, feeling the portions were spot on for what they paid. Even the chicken gyozas were a hit, with flavors that will have you drooling.

But don’t be fooled; it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Shehnaaz found the place a bit dusty and was disappointed that the Instagram photos didn’t quite match reality. Still, for a cosy, authentic dining experience, WakuWaku is where you can let your inner foodie run wild—just don’t walk in with unrealistic expectations.
