Sushi Wawa Innaloo

If you enjoy Japanese food but don’t want a long, formal dining experience, Sushi WAWA in Innaloo is a fun and easy option. Located near IKEA, this modern sushi train restaurant combines the traditional grab-and-go sushi train concept with tablet ordering for freshly cooked hot dishes.

The restaurant itself feels bright and casual, with counter seating running alongside the sushi train. Colourful covered plates glide past continuously, making it very tempting to keep reaching for “just one more plate.” If something catches your eye, simply grab it from the train. For hot food, there’s a tablet ordering system at each table and counter seat, which is surprisingly easy to use, even if technology is not usually your thing.

The standout dishes for us were definitely the Takoyaki (deep-fried octopus balls) and the crab claws. The Takoyaki arrived hot, soft and full of flavour, topped generously with a zigzag of Japanese mayo, Takoyaki sauce and bonito flakes dancing from the heat. They were delicious comfort food and probably our favourite dish of the visit.

The crab claws were another winner. Crispy, golden and crunchy on the outside, with sweet crab inside, they came with a creamy dipping sauce (you have a choice of original Kewpie mayo or spicy) that worked perfectly. Very moreish.

We also tried gyoza dumplings and salmon sushi rolls, both fresh and tasty. The sushi train offers plenty of variety, from simple sushi and nigiri through to more adventurous options.

Sushi WAWA is a great casual dining option for anyone looking for something different from the usual café lunch. It’s quick, affordable, easy to access and ideal for a relaxed catch-up before or after shopping at IKEA or Westfield Innaloo.
