First Look: WAKANUI Grill Dining

At this new outfit in the spanking new Marina One building, the spotlight is on the best meats New Zealand has to offer.

Originally opened as a restaurant in Tokyo, Japan, by New Zealand-based meat company ANZCO Foods, the quality meats at WAKANUI proved a big hit amongst industry folk and consumers alike.

Don't mistake the restaurant as another Japanese beef speciality grill, though, the name WAKANUI comes from the location of ANZCO’s Five Star Beef Feedlot on the coast of Wakanui, South Canterbury in New Zealand. The meats, too, are imported largely from New Zealand. On the menu here are different cuts of NZ beef and lamb, varying from wet-aged and dry-aged, simply seasoned with salt and pepper and cooked over a binchotan.
