I have heard so much and been wanting to try this place for so long that it had a lot to live up to. Even though a few of my friends were already fans, the rest of us hadn't been here so it's reputation was going to get tested.The first thing that hit me was how great the place was decked out. The look and feel inside sets the mood very nicely. All the staff we came across and spoke to us were all friendly and relaxed and before we knew it we were sitting at our table.Since there were a few of us it was suggested that we try the chef's pick menu which was set at $65 per person. We went along with that and I'm so glad we did. As you know I like good food but I'm a bigger fan of value for money so I was interested to see how much food would come our way. Well.....the food kept coming and coming and coming and I don't think there was any dish that I didn't like. From Edamame Beans, Chicken Kaarage, Agedeshi Tofu, Eye Fillet Steak, Kingfish & Ocean Trout Sashimi and a couple in between I simply didn't remember (was too preoccupied enjoying the food and company). There were 7 of us and this was more than enough food so the value was excellent.When you throw into the mix amazing quality of the food, the service and the atmosphere of the place itself I can see why so many have raved on about it.Great work Bar Wa Izakaya. Looking forward to next time.

Only just discovered Hobart and it’s the second time in a week that I have been here! Amazing fusion food with high quality wine. Fresh outstanding sea food. Loved the sashimi, oysters and scallops. The meat cut sashimi style was amazing too.

Such a hidden gem. Love this place!!! Ramen was really tasty, very rich pork bone broth, ramen was also very well cooked. Had the BBQ meat platter, everything was beyond my expectations, the dipping sauce adds sooo much flavour. Fried fish and pork dumplings were excellent too.

Have been a few times, food is always sensational, atmosphere and service great. Not always easy to get a table, but many options for somewhere to sit.Awesome range of Japanese beer also.One of the best local restaurants.

Absolutely delicious food, amazing venue (they have really taken the time to deck this place out. It’s so cool) and the staff were very attentive.The food is really reasonably priced. Good to go with 2-4 people and get a bunch of share plates. The drinks list is super extensive and delicious! A must visit when in Hobart

Amazing place with a cool vibe and delicious food and cocktails. Despite it being packed on a Thursday we got food and drinks served pretty quickly. Ended up there for three hours sampling quite a bit of the menu and enjoying the flight tastings of sake, whiskey and umeshu. I very much enjoyed the wasabi espresso martini..wow!!Staff were super friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.. 10/10 for the vibe and food experience.Book in advance!

Sumimasen!Bar has a really cool and interesting decorations, including the toilet!Food comes on by one, seafood was fresh.I really like the yakitori, the pork was crispy and tasted really good.Somehow I dont like the pork thing (not the skewers). It tasted really weird to be a sweet and soft / tender pork, not my type of food.Tacos and tuna were something new and it works well.The whiskey sour was totally unique, ive been to places and never had this kind of whiskey sour, well done!Overall, it is a really great place to go.

Wow … what a great experience coming from Sydney !! This Japanese restaurant’s decor, vibe, service and food was excellent!! We enjoyed every bit, loved it all and I’m glad I booked in advance as it was booked out !! We shared a selection of dishes and they were all soooo good. This is where the reviews match exactly what you experience - EXCELLENCE!!
