For authentic Japanese fare Flemington isn't exactly the first place that comes to mind but with quality and diversification on the rise in the western suburbs, small but honest places like Wayo are starting to pop up.
A casual Japanese eatery a far stretch from your usual California rolls and seaweed salads. The menu offers a variety of entrees and some wholesome rice dishes. It's mostly self service, where you order your food at the counter and help yourself to the cutlery not unlike Don Don or Hanaichi. The big difference though is the food.
It's definitely a longer wait than ordinary vendors of bento or katsu curries but it is well worth it. Most of the food is cooked to order and you can watch the staff fry up your katsu or cook your teriyaki chicken behind the counter. It takes longer but it somehow feels and tastes more authentic and homey.
The Agedashi tofu was tasty and I polished my katsu curry off at an alarming pace. It was so damn satisfying, especially in this weather. If you're ever in Flemington, skip the usual kebab or laksa and tempt yourself with a teriyaki chicken Don with a poached egg instead.
