"What It Is: A Japanese restaurant in Greenpoint with curry, small plates, and ramen Perfect For: Casual Weeknight Meal In Greenpoint, there’s a new Japanese restaurant with a bar hidden in the back. We had already been to the bar (and you can read about it here), but we recently went and tried the restaurant, Wanpaku. We got seated right away, then we proceeded to eat a good number of their small plates. The Japanese fried chicken was pretty good, and the salmon tartare that came topped with a raw quail egg was interesting, but we weren’t too into the pork bun or fried oysters. That said, our pork katsu curry was great, it was a nice-looking minimalist space, and the staff was friendly. The Verdict: If you find yourself in Greenpoint, try Wanpaku for a weeknight meal, and stick to the larger plates." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
