Food are always so good as we come here often. Drinks are a little pricey but it may compensate for the good priced food. Nice atmosphere. So will be visiting again as usual. Thank you again Maedaya!

We are locals and have been here a few times before. Food was marginal and the service terrible. Guoza were wet and soggy and other dishes very low standard and we didn’t even receive the last food order. We waited over 20mins for it but it still didn’t arrive after a number of requests. We were repeatedly told that there were “so many orders” but this was at 9.30pm and the restaurant was significantly lower in volume than when we arrived at 8.15pm. Even water was a struggle to get. Have gone many times before but we will not go back.

Meat quality was good for all you can eat. Shame the exhaust fan was so loud, it felt like we were yelling the whole time. Coal could have been hotter for the meat to cook faster.

We all enjoyed the excellent food and the variety. The service was also very good but we thought Corkage at $10 per bottle was too expensive .

Always love Maedaya. This time seated upstairs with our group of 8. Atmosphere better downstairs as it was very draughty. Menu changes from time to time. Not the same choice as before.

This was probably our 5th or 6th visit. We booked and were told that you have 2 hours then your out. We have never been disappointed with the food here. But I guess there is always a first time.

Always enjoy Maedaya, love their ipad ordering experience ...... food comes quickly and one can keep ordering till we are sated. Service is attentive and warm. Hot Green Tea is on the house and you can order this as much as you can drink. We do miss the Sashimi Salmon Salad which was one of our favourites ..... need to book to avoid disapointment.

Fantastic food and good atmosphere. Booking process a little quirky as I got sms messages to confirm as well as phone calls yet the restaurant was only about 50% capacity- perhaps technical glitches... But service is brilliant
