Wakaka Street Food

Wondered in today and had an amazing lunch. We had the Jumbo wings, Duck Baos, Malaysian Lamb Curry, Salt & Chilli Squid with fried rice. The egg with the curry was cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes and would definitely return and recommend to others. Staff was very friendly and helpful too.

Huge variety on the menu. All of our meals were great. The chap who served us offered to top our jasmin tea - something that I wish other places would do! It doesn't take much to offer but is much appreciated

Found this place totally randomly and loved it! The food is so tasty and the staff were lovely and really friendly. Best softshell crab I have had in this country for years and my chicken curry really hit the spot with the right level of spice. My husband really enjoyed his lamb curry too and that is from someone who has regular access to homemade sri lankan lamb curry! Never been to Shrewsbury before but would definitely come back just to eat at Wakaka.**Update - went back next day, softshell crab was still amazing and also had a tasty belly pork and salt and pepper pork chop!

The food is truly delicious. The service really good and quick

Decent value and well-cooked Asian food, quick service. The likeable young waitress was a bit ditzy and forgot to bring cutlery, napkins & water but no harm done. Had he special fried rice with house sauce. The food came over as authentic and freshly prepare with generous chunks of meat /protein com very well cooked vegetables (great crunchy texture). Summer rolls dipping sauce also very good though the rolls themselves would have benefited from more greens and a bit less meat for my taste. Would visit again. Be aware payment is by cash or bank transfer only and the bank details are very tricky to get accepted for some reason so I would bring cash.

So far, the best asian food resto that I have visited. Prices are just right compared to other asian resto, they cook the food really quick, for just a short wait. They have a lot of choices from the menu and cooked really well. Flavors are authentic. The service is amazing, they are very friendly. Only drawback for me is the place is small and can accommodate only a few and when I visited, they don't accept card payments which is a big hassle for most. The desserts were not available as well which my kids were looking forward to. There is a paid parking accross the resto. Everywhere else can be accessed by walking.

Wakaka is a hidden gem that masterfully showcases the artistry of authentic Chinese cuisine. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.The star of the evening was the Salt and Pepper Fried Soft Shell Crab. Perfectly seasoned and fried to a golden crisp, the dish struck an exquisite balance of flavors. The light crunch of the batter gave way to tender, juicy crab meat, while the subtle heat from the chili and the aromatic punch of garlic and scallions elevated every bite. It was a symphony of textures and tastes that left us craving more.Equally impressive was the Spicy Brisket with Fried Rice. The brisket was meltingly tender, infused with a deep, savory spice blend that added a delightful kick without overpowering the dish. Paired with the fragrant fried rice, studded with finely chopped vegetables and eggs, it became a perfect harmony of bold flavors and comforting simplicity.The portions were generous, and the presentation was immaculate, demonstrating the care and expertise of the kitchen team.

Lovely hole in the wall, with extremely tasty food. The place was cozy and clean, the staff was super friendly and the Malaysian lamb curry was delicious.
