Wanpaku

It used to be my favorite ramen spot, one of the best fries but unfortunately something happened recently, change of menu, not sure if staff/chef changed, but suddenly the fries were coated in some super salted spice, ramen that used to be strong flavor was over salted, and chilli oil which used to be top notch was just tasteless and again super salted and not spicy like it used to be, as a bonus I got food poisoning. No thank you

Cute space and you can tell they care about the food that comes out. Everything smells great and beautiful plating. In talking with the team it’s nice to hear it’s becoming more farm to table - you can definitely taste the difference from other places in the area. Loved the heirloom tomatoes dish- definitely feels like summer in a dish with the pink tangerines! (Pictured ) they also have a cool looking bar hidden in the back that was packed. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area - worth the visit 🙌🏼

To keep it short, this is not Japanese food. The homemade katsu sauce was not katsu sauce and the soup just left me with so many questions. I couldn’t finish the soup. The beef curry was good but the other dishes were so bad I can’t justify coming back here.

Excellent shoyu ramen. I’ve heard this is the best in Brooklyn, and I can totally see why. Honestly, I haven’t even tried their other items because every time I visit, I just have to order this one again.

Quality Japanese and reasonable prices. If I could give the service 6 stars I would! Highly recommend the Honey Sesame Chickendon!

I tried the cold ramen at Wanpaku and it was such a unique experience—unlike anything I’ve had before! I expected it to be more like cold dipping soba, but it actually felt closer to a poke-style ramen with cuts of salmon, tuna, cucumber, octopus, ikura, etc; on top of ramen noodles and then you pour the sauce over the dish yourself — mixed with the radish, seafood/mint topping, it was really refreshing and flavorful. The ingredients could have been a bit fresher, but overall I enjoyed the nice interior, the food was refreshing, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth trying the cold ramen for something different!

Wow!! おいしい！！！The chicken ramen here is so good, especially with the roast chicken on top. Highly recommend the truffle cheese fries as well they are crispy and amazing. Came for lunch and it was definitely crowded but got a table right away. Service was fast and very friendly. 11/10 for authentic Japanese food!

Super solid ramen spot in Greenpoint! We’ll definitely be back. The noodles and charred pork in the ramen were especially good. The truffle fries were fine, not a standout for us. It’s nice they have a selection of cocktails from the hidden pearl that you can order from the menu.

So good. So fast even on a busy Friday night dinner hour. Small restaurant. Ordered take out and it was flawless and delicious.

Nice unassuming restaurant located in the heart of Greenpoint with lots of different eateries around. Walked in and only had to wait for a couple of minutes for a table. The decor is minimalistic and reminds one of the late night Izakaya's in the heart of Tokyo. Seating is limited and the place was busy. We ordered various Yuzu cocktails, Shishito Peppers, Chicken Karage, Squash Fritters/Balls?, Nori Fries, Beef Miso Ramen and more. The staff is kind and polite and the service was quick. Taste wise we really liked the Peppers and the Chicken, Ramen was meh... Would surely like to come again and try a few more cocktails and drinks from their extensive menu...

I'm thrilled to have discovered this place. The karaage was excellent, and the highball was refreshing. The food felt authentically delicious. I'm looking forward to returning to check out the hidden bar.

Really amazing happy hour! I got the edamame which was so savory and delicious and the karaage chicken. The chicken was pretty spicy so I wouldn't recommend if you are sensitive to spicy food. The restaurant is rather small but we didn't have problems getting a table on a Wednesday night. The servers were very attentive and made sure our drinks stayed full.

It is an excellent place to have oysters on Tuesday and Wednesday and it was delicious when I visited on July 2nd, 2024 The dipping ramen (cold) was nice and spicy and it was balanced. The Sapporo was nice and ice cold in a glass. The services are as polite as they will get. But, I also livestream my food experience as a food critic and journalist. Come with family here or on a date. The atmosphere was calm and lit. I will visit again soon.

environment was really cute! the spicy karage had a good amount of heat and had a very mala flavor to it. Katsudon was perfectly lightly crispy drizzled with a sweet sauce. the curry was also super hearty and paired perfectly with the ebi fry.

We came here for dinner around 8:30pm on a Friday night and were seated right away with a table for 6. We were initially going to Hidden Pearl, but since the menu only had small plates, we decided to do a full meal at wanpaku first before heading inside. They were so accommodating and had a space saved for us inside hidden pearl when we were done eating. We ordered a few apps to share, and everyone got their own entree My favorite app was definitely the shime saba (cured mackerel). Nice flavor but a little salty, and reminded me of the pressed mackerel sushi from raku. The tai-chan wings (comes with 5) were just ok for me, but at least they came out piping hot As for entrees - the bf got the shoyu ramen with pork chashu and chili oil. The soup had a nice clean flavor. No complaints with this one, but not the best ramen we've had. - I got the katsu don, which is pork katsu on a bed of rice and pickled veggies. I wouldn't recommend this one because it was quite plain. I loved the vegetable shoyu soup though! SO good and probably my favorite part of the meal. I'd be down to try other things on the menu and maybe come for happy hour, but I wouldn't repeat the food we ordered that night

Another one crossed off the list. I wanted to visit the speakeasy portion of restaurant but because of my flight, I had to settle for HH lunch. Top to bottom, everything was great. The spicy karaage, cucumber salad, and spicy chicken tan tan ramen were highlights. The broth was creamy and rich, truly divine. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was unexpected but a really good dish. Very beautiful space. Can't wait to return. Service was very quick and attentive.

Nothing to complain about. Pretty good ramen and beer on draft for $6 happy hour. Good place to eat your meal and go. I personally didn't get the vibe to order and take my time kind of vibe. Ramen was flavorful and not overly salty. Will be back!

Consider this a combined review for Wanpaku and Hidden Pearl, the speakeasy that is this otherwise unassuming Japanese restaurant on the Williamsburg-Greenpoint border's claim to fame. The wait was not bad on a Friday night. My favorite dish of the evening was the avocado crispy rice, whose texture I would compare to a McDonald's hash brown covered in guacamole. I also am a big of kewpie-based Japanese potato salad, and the version here was good, although I felt tea sandwich bread without the crust would have been a better vehicle than crackers. The vegetarian Japanese curry was good, although admittedly this is a hard dish to make extraordinary. The best item of the night? The extremely green pandan cocktail served in the back at Hidden Pearl after finishing dinner.

Came here on a Sunday night and the place was packed! We had a table at The Hidden Pearl so we decided to get dinner here. The space doesn't have a waiting area so we were surrounded by people standing and waiting for tables while we were seated and eating at the front of the restaurant. This also resulted in it being freezing cold where we were sitting because people were coming in and out or leaving the door open. The service was quite slow and took 20 minutes for the server to take our order because it was so busy and the same amount of time for our food to come to the table. The ramen was pretty standard, but the vegetarian oatmilk ramen was interesting and warming with the recommended extra chili oil. Overall the food was standard but I wouldn't go back again.

I had an anticipation that going to a Japanese restaurant would have an ambiance connecting to the culture, unfortunately, I didn't see that, felt too generic. The food was neither good nor bad, was little bit too salty for me (I couldn't finish it) and the chicken didn't have that classic spice kick to it. Service was good though.

This is our favorite ramen in the city. The fermented shoyu broth and chashu pork is the best I've had. Order with the homemade chili, black garlic oil and extra bok choy and noodles. The spicy chicken karaage is also very tasty. Excellent all around. Friendly workers too.

3.5 - solid but wouldn't come out of my way Came for happy hour on Thursday night right before it ended at 7. was seated right away and was able to order the happy hour prices! Portions were what you would expect for an appetizer, and prices were around ($6-$8). Lighting was nice and dark, lively romantic ambience that's good for a days. Truffle fries - solid fries, very crispy, Mayo sauce was good but truffle flavor not super strong. Safe to order wasn't that outstanding compared to fast food fries Spicy karage - strong flavors (had peppercorns and lots of gochujang) so can be somewhat controversial. Tender Sake steamed mussels- loved the light broth, mussels itself were lightly flavored Enjoyed the sweeter sake over the dry one. Would recommend for the happy hour if you're in the area!

This place is very clean and cute. The staff was super friendly and the food came out quickly. The karaage were quite large compared to what I'm used to... it took a few bites to eat each piece but it was still tasty! I had the miso beef ramen and it was pretty good. I enjoyed eating it, but I don't think the broth was as rich and flavorful as I would have liked. All in all, I think it's a nice place to try in the neighborhood. I would probably try more of the sides if I came back!

I ate here back in May and had a great time. I arrived just before happy hour and they allowed me to order drinks at the happy hour prices! I got a dry sake, Shoyu ramen, blistered shishito peppers, and Dynamite Crab Crispy Rice. Everything was delicious!

The ambiance was nice, and the food/service was FAST. But unfortunately the food was NOT IT. We ordered the wanpaku Nori fries, the dynamite crab crispy bites, and the spicy chicken ramen. They were beautifully plated and looked like they were going to be amazing, but I felt like I was going to break my teeth on the crab entree and none of the dishes met expectations. We didn't finish anything.

Stopped by for dinner and drinks and while some of the food tasted great, there were tiny issues with the speed at which the drinks arrived and the order in which the food arrived. The Spicy Pork Bao was the highlight of the night for me. The next time I return, this is what I'm getting again without a doubt. The bun itself was super soft and fresh, while the filling inside absolutely flavorful. The Spicy Fried Chicken Karaage was cooked brilliantly and only if it wasn't too salty this would be a star performer too. Decent dinner with exceptional baos.

Delicious ramen and small bites. Great service, very attentive/nice. Cool vibes and decor.

This is a cozy casual spot with attentive and unpretentious staff to match. It doesn't seem like it from the photo, but the fries were salted and rightly crispy (just the way I like it). The pairing of the potato bread with the buttermilk chicken made it tasty as well. I dined alone and was not rushed during a weekend visit (it was also one of the hottest days so that could be the reason why the place was not as filled). Will definitely return to try their apps and ramen when the weather calls for it.

Nice solid bowl of ramen after a long day of travel. Heads up kitchen closes at 10:30 not 11! Friendly staff. Not too spicy, honestly wish it was more spicy.

It's my first time back since the pandemic. I love Wanpaku I was introduced by Dj smooth a while ago. It's nice to know the food, environment, service and music are just as good if not better than 2019. I brought my family since they are visiting New York and they love it also. (Joseph Oxley) The menu was smartly laid out, and we ordered a couple things off the happy hour menu and larger menu. Everything came out quicker than expected but also hot and fresh. The aesthetics are lovely and the speakeasy in the back is modern and stylish. The service was excellent and this is a spot we'd all definitely return to.

Very friendly and attuned staff. The food was amazing as well, with our favorite being the curry. The curry was mildly sweet but extremely rich and flavorful. The tempura ebi was perfectly flaky and complimented the curry perfectly. The baked oysters for happy hour was also very delicious and buttery, highly recommended! The seafood ceviche was good but nothing too special. The dipped ramen has a rich broth and is definitely flavorful as well, would recommend it to try at least once. The Karaage was extremely juicy and definitely would order it again! The avocado cracker was okay, the rice was a bit too hard. I think the raw oysters at happy hour was our least favorite and definitely would not get it again. Thank you for reading and I hope you give them a chance!

Everything we ordered was super flavorful and well cooked. This is a cute low key spot with happy hour every day of the week. You can't beat that. The ramen broth had good depth. We'll definitely be back to try the drinks at Hidden Pearl.

Today is a ramen day. It's raining, or misting. It's cold and damp and just wet everywhere. The snow is officially ugly, and I haven't seen the sun since who knows when. Today was the day, I had a date with myself to dine inside Wanpaku since last year, when I discovered it, I settled for takeout. DO NOT SETTLE. Find a way to eat here. Drive; make your friend drive - get Uber. Rent a bike; buy a bike. Skate, scooter, roller blade, run, walk, or cross the BQE barefoot - you NEED to eat here. I was the only one dining today for lunch, and I couldn't have been more happy. I was quickly asked to produce my COVID vaccine card, and was more than happy to present it. I appreciate the caution and care. I immediately knew I needed to order the karrage again, but I was truly stuck as to which ramen to try. I had the dipping ramen last time, but the spicy chicken tantan was calling me. It was spicy; I didn't need to share. I figured it was cold and miserable out anyway, so I ordered and waited. The wait wasn't long, and the beautiful crispy, crunchy golden karrage was put in front of me. The smell was intoxicating and my mouth was watering at the anticipation. It was perfect. Moist, juicy, and the pieces were HUGE. Accompanied with spicy mayo, a lemon wedge, and some mixed salt, I tried all three combinations. The spicy mayo was my first choice, then the lemon, and then the salt. I did want to save one piece though to dip in the ramen, because, why not right? The spicy tantan ramen is the sexiest looking ramen I've ever seen. The gooey egg yolk staring at me; the cilantro aroma hitting my nose. I had a few pure spoonfuls of broth, and WOW. The unami was just on a whole other level; the color is beautiful and the broth was savory and rich. Not too thick (that's what she said) and not too thin; it was a wonderful balance. The ramen wavy noodles clung to the broth for dear life. I kept dunking them to get more of the ground chicken and that spice; it was delightful. I haven't thoroughly enjoying eating a bowl of ramen - alone with my thoughts and critique - for a long time. This was a feast for all the senses, and the staff is beyond attentive. Did I close my eyes and picture Japan, again? Yes; I did close my eyes a few times, and I pictured Tokyo, outside the JR line, and I could hear the SEGA center UFO games. I saw Shinjuku, and I was thinking about going back to my hotel afterwards to enjoy the view, but then realized I had to go back to work. So much for that. A perfect experience from beginning to end; so glad I came to you and not you to me.

I stopped by with my family for the first time because we were all craving ramen. We ordered the pork buns, the Yake Edamame, Blistered Shishito Peppers, Spicy Karaage, Coconut Kabocha Croquettes, Spicy Tuna Crispy rice, Spicy Chicken Tan Tan Ramen, Spicy Pulled Pork Ramen, Mochi Ice Cream, and a whole bunch of other things. The food came quickly, there were gluten-free options, but beware the broth is not gluten-free. I just made an exception for myself for one night because it wasn't a lot. I loved the cocktail I ordered too, it had a mermaid tail in it and an umbrella. The only thing that I didn't love was that we were originally sat by the door and it was freezing. They did change our table though which was great. I do love this place. I hope to come back and try some more of their menu items. I am overall, very happy. I can see why everyone loves it here.

I was hoping to checkout another Japanese (udon speciality) nearby which happened to be unexpectedly closed. Quick google search for Japansese cuisine nearby brought me to Wanpaku. Happy to have been able to visit this little gem! Not alot of places offer tsukemen (personal favorite method of ingesting ramen) ; the cold ramen paired with a warm dipping concentrated broth. So I was super stoked. All in all, ramen was fresh, staff was attentive, hunger was satiated. What more can I ask for? Maybe for their backroom speakeasy The Hidden Pearl to open earlier before 5pm... will definitely be back here to experience a night time vibe!

I had the vegetarian ramen here. The flavor is very subtle, potentially bordering on bland, which isn't to my preference. Otherwise, there was plenty of seating available and the staff was very nice.

The best shime saba you can get in the whole NYC! Tender, fresh and delicious! I would come again and again for this dish alone. Must try for those who enjoy sashimi and strong tasting fish. Ramen is always tasty and consistent. Traditional is best but the spicy options are also very good. Do check out specials which change frequently. Great for lunch since food arrives quickly.

Was very pleasantly surprised by Wanpaku while passing through Greenpoint. Small menu. Quality ingredients. Their Spicy Pulled Pork Ramen was to die for and easily one of the best ramens I've ever tried. And the Washu Beef Curry was equally as good with a perfect crisp boiled egg. It has been almost a year since we dined here, but super memorable nonetheless. Wanpaku would def be my go-to if I lived nearby. Love this place. Amazing Japanese cuisine at such reasonable prices.. what more could I ask for? Well, they happen to own the speakeasy attached to the back of the restaurant called The Hidden Pearl. Will come back.. one of these days.

Ramen was pretty good. But that's about it. Hidden Pearl cocktail as options but it's draft/premade. Kombucha Croquette - not good..... Weird. Too dense and single flavor. HH Oyster - not fresh :/

Amazing hidden gem in North Williamsburg! Try the tuna crispy rice and spicy pork buns. Honestly you can't go wrong! Great friendly service too :)

If you're coming during happy hour, GET THE TRUFFLE FRIES!! I've never eaten here before because I'm not in the area, but I'm so happy to have stopped here on a whim. I had the spicy tofu butter ramen and it was soooo good. I recommend the egg and black garlic oil add on! The noodles were not too soft with the perfect amount of chew and the broth is just perfect! If you're in the local area whether it's for tourism or going on your weekly local thrift hunts-- stop by at wanpaku! Service here is phenomenal, thank you to our server Sathit! At the end, of our lunch-- we had some green tea mochi which was the perfect way to end our summer lunch out!

I used to go there all the time because the happy hour oysters, the last time we got "OYSTERS FROM A JAR" At $2 dollars each "happy hour price" that is a SCAM, the oyster shells smell like detergent, they are reusing them! Never going back, too bad because it's a excellent restaurant :(

Great first date spot. Staff were next-level incredible, food was absolutely wonderful. I was thoroughly impressed and will definitely be going back.

The ramen here is delicious if youre a fan of clear broth. Their shoyu ramen is clean, rich, and salty. Personally I prefer tonkatsu broths more, but this is really delicious. We also got their tuna crispy rice which sounded like a great idea, but I wouldn't get again. The crispy rice is drowned in butter, and the bottom of the bowl is filled with oil. The tuna was okay, it didn't have much flavor. The sauce it came with was delicious but there was only a little bit. Overall I like the ramen but I wouldn't get the tuna again

Tried their pork katsu over rice and squash croquette. Both were just okay (katsu texture + croquette flavor) so we'd recommend getting their sliced beef curry or ramen instead. Service, as always, was great though! Waiters were really attentive and atmosphere is cute for a date night or small (3-4) group gathering.

What a surprisingly delicious ramen spot! Everyone must order the spicy fried karaage, tender chicken fried perfectly then generously coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. On top of that, it was a healthy portion size. For ramen, the bbq beef rib is a must. Huge beef rib with meat, most places just give you a bone for decoration but not here. The broth was creamy in all the right ways. Next the noodles were cooked perfect and that's really important for a good ramen. For a small spot in greenpoint, they do it right here. I will be back very soon, very very soon.

Sake from Brooklyn Kura, Seafood ceviche ramen, a speakeasy in the back? You couldn't really think up a restaurant more apt for my predilections. I started my meal with a quinoa salad and fried oysters. The salad was zesty, light and fresh. Fried oysters are hard to mess up, and these were just as good as I expected them to be. I love ceviche and I love ramen, but never thought to put the two together in one dish. I'm glad Wanpaku did. The medley of avocado, tuna, shrimp, onions, parsley and squid made for a most delicious summer meal. I was so pleasantly surprised to find they serve Brooklyn Kura, my favorite sake, made right here in Brooklyn. I have not been to their speakeasy the Hidden Pearl but my experience at the bright and airy Wanpaku space is a harbinger of good things to come for everything they do.

It was a cloudy cozy day in the city today, so of course: a day for ramen. I've eaten ramen like 3 times in my lifetime including this time, so by no means am I an expert, and clearly a newbie to the game. HOWEVER, I am SOOO glad we came here today. The Spicy Karaage? I saw it on someone else's table and the second I sat down and they dropped the water, I ordered it to start. The chicken was perfectly cooked. It is a Japanese fried chicken with Wanpaku homemade spicy sauce, scallions, and dried chili. The sauce was not too spicy, but spicy enough. SO FLAVORFUL. I love a saucy wing/thigh/chicken. Super saucy. Like very. Not in an overwhelming way though. 10/10 As for Ramen, I got the Shoyu Ramen, which is chicken with marinated egg, arugula, scallions and bean sprouts. I added fried tofu and spicy chili oil. Wow. The other two times I got ramen, I couldn't finish it. At OTHER places, the broth was too bland and spicy, the noodles were too thick, or not enough noodle to topping ratio. HOWEVER HERE, perfect ratio, delicious broth, GOOD NOODS. Like the perfect noodles. I told the young woman serving us that I had an amazing time and clearly enjoyed it because I honestly never finish my food. This bowl was CLEAN. And its a healthy serving. I'm bloated as F writing this, but so worth it. 10/10 Next time (because there WILL) be a next time, definitely want to try a different ramen and try a drink. The bun was great too. Pork was super tender. 10/10 for SURE.

Enjoyed both the food and drink. Got the vegetarian butter miso ramen. It wasn't spicy enough for my liking and doesn't include a ramen egg so I got a side of chili oil and an egg. With those two additions it was genuinely one of the best vegetarian ramens I've had. Veg ramen broth is often thin and bland but the addition of the butter definitely helped, as did the chili oil. The noodles had a great bouncy, chewy texture. I loved the toppings of tofu, corn, and scallion. The ramen egg was soft-boiled to the perfect gummy, jelly-ish consistency. Definitely recommend!

I had no expectations for this little Japanese store front in Greenpoint and I was blown away by the whole experience. Mostly because I was hungry/hangry but also because I love speakeasies and honestly I love the Japanese ones in the city THE BEST. They're the bestest and make some divine cocktails. I also just like Japanese whiskey which they have a great selection of here in the back at "Hidden Pearl". The food was decent but not the most life changing. I had to eat sans meat so I had the vegan zoodle option but honestly it was wayyy too healthy for my liking. If you're looking for a healthy option that is probably your best bet. I wanted hearty and somehow vegetables don't get there for me. The hidden pearl is really a gem if you can go when there aren't loud insta-girls in the back. I enjoyed a quiet drink with my bff and I'd probably enjoy a date here. Or two. Or every week. They spin vinyl back here for the ambient noise. And it works like a Greenpoint charm.

Came here on a Friday night and we got seated right away. The server Itsy was very attentive and got our food right away. We ordered quite a few things; Kaarage Pork buns Their new dishes: kombucha croquette, Tuna & octopus dish for appetizer. Going on to entree; We got spicy pull pork ramen w/ fried tofu added Beef short ribs ramen noods Plain beef curry with Ebi (shrimp tempura) && scotch egg Everything was amazing, so much favor deliciousness. Dessert: Yuzu tofu Creme brûlée - very interesting, quite nice with some Citrus orange flavor. Beverage; I had the ginger hallball cocktail, very refreshing kinda reminded me of a moscule mule or ginger beer. Fresh ginger syrup and I had 2 of those and a lychee soda! Overall, such a chill vibe and great food. Would def come back to Brooklyn again for this. Big SHOUTOUT to our sever Itsy for very amazing and making the experience top notch!!!!!

Another covid-era delivery review... I've lived in NYC long enough to know that ramen is kind of a thing here. I'm not sure I've had a bad bowl to be honest. That said, I'm probably a bit jaded and so all of these ramen spots are probably deserving of 5-stars. But until one really, really just blows me away, making absolutely tasty ramen (just like everyone else) is still a 4-star endeavor. So this place makes absolutely tasty ramen. Try the BBQ beef version- t's really good...

I really like this place. We happened onto it by chance. Well, we opened Yelp and closed our eyes and picked, kinda, sorta. And it was exactly what we were looking for, a casual Asian fusion restaurant with a cool vibe and pretty delicious food that wasn't too filling and reasonably priced. To begin with, it's absolutely adorable. It's on the small size, but doesn't feel that way with it's open, spacious layout and quasi-family style seating. There's also a secret bar in the back that gives it a hip, and rather cutting edge vibe. It was almost like a speakeasy. Even though we don't drink, I gotta admit, my curiosity was piqued. I mean, who doesn't want to go to the hidden gem hidden deep inside the cute Asian eatery, right? The food was absolutely delish. We started with the karaage appetizer, which is tender chicken fried. Yummy. Then I had the seared tuna, which was so good. Jayson had something (see photo) that neither of us can remember the name of, or can find on the menu. But it wasn't particularly good. We think it was some vegetarian thing. But, of the four balls, we had one and a half. It was blah. Still, everything else was great. And the service was delightful and attentive. Fun and the a mostly nice level of yumminess.

It's sad to say when coming back to Wanpaku we were really unhappy with our food. We are still unsure why the food here is lukewarm. We had ordered the 20 dollar ramen and the meat in this dish was super rubbery and inedible. It seemed it was more of a roast beef. It was cold, and old tasting. It had a layer of cold fat on the top of the soup that was unappetizing. We also ordered the beef short rib ramen. The short rib itself was amazing but the ramen and soup was unpleasant. Again, the soup was lukewarm and it felt like two different dishes that didn't work well together. We also ordered two pork buns that were just okay. They were basic and nothing really special. Overall, after a second try with no real improvement in food quality we will not return.

Spicy tuna and crispy rice is all time my fav appizter. This time I sit at the bar close to the window. It's so nice to see people on the street with halloween costumes. Btw, I have a shoyu ramen. It's so nice. The broth is savory and wavy noodles is also cooked in a perfect timing. Lastly, friendly service from the waiters. Everyone has a cheerful smile all the time. Definitely come back !

Solid ramen. The BBQ beef rib ramen bowl felt fusion-y, but was tasty and pretty good value bowl for the amount of food there was in it. There's actually a lot of noodles in it for one person, and I had trouble finishing the bowl (but that's a good thing if you come hungry!). However, other than the presentation of the large beef rib bone in it, I didn't find the dish very memorable. Towards the back of the restaurant there's a cocktail bar called the Hidden Pearl. My friends and I stopped there after dinner and enjoyed the drinks.

Love this place! And their new Happy Hour specials are prettty f*n special :) Sammy I've known for a few years and she always takes care of me and Sasi is amazing as well. Thank you guys!
