Definitely going back!! read more

Looooooved their beef ramen; I'm usually very picky about beef in my ramen because I like it to be cooked very well-done. This was fantastic! Cooked super well and also very flavorful. Great ambiance in the place too. Also a fun variety of appetizers! read more

Wanpaku - beef ramen - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came through on a weekend night and able to get a seat when it was pretty empty. Staff was helpful, but overly anxious and almost pushy. We ordered a couple of their ramen options (spicy chicken and shio) - everything was just ok. Broth was tasty, but not very deep in flavor. Other ingredients were also tasty, but nothing rememberable. Combinations for their ramen seem almost like they're trying to hard to be cool. Side note - random, strong odors of pot and cigarettes wafted through the restaurant during our meal. Not sure from where, but not a great dining experience. Price point is better than other ramen offerings in the area. read more

What's better than a hot bowl of ramen on a snowy eve? If you've answered anything but "nothing" then you've come to the wrong place. This is the first ramen spot I've tried since moving to the neighborhood and it's solid. I ordered the spicy miso, and is it the best I've ever had ? No. But it was very good. Also everything smelled delicious, especially the short ribs ramen our neighbors ordered. But this place is more than just ramen, it's gorgeous. Good metal Chairs, beautiful midnight blue tabletops, beautiful glassware. You can tell that every detail down to the chopsticks was considered carefully and it makes for a great eating experience. read more

Wanpaku is a great place to grab anything you need whether it is a quick bite, take-out, sit-down lunch and especially sit down dinner and drinks! Everything on the menu is so good and well thought out. Pro-tip: after you eat wander all the way to the back door and push your way into Hidden Pearl for great cocktails and space for conversation. read more

What an uber-friendly and attentive staff! It was like I was visiting Osaka again! They're also surprisingly generous with their happy hour food portions (especially these days when we've gotten screwed with 'specials' from other establishments in the neighborhood: "um, your 'burger' is more like a 'fat slider!'"). The karaage and mussels I recommend, and fair warning you may HAVE TO SHOUT AT YOUR DINNER PARTY BECAUSE OF THE LOUD MUSIC. But, then again, maybe that's only cause I'm actually going deaf. God, I hope it's not the latter. read more

Stumbled upon this place while hitting all the awesome vintage shops in Greenpoint. Their buns are delish and the ramen was just what I needed on a cold day. Only 4 stars because I've had better ramen in Manhattan but the service was super quick and friendly and the seating selection is great if you're dining solo. It's a good neighborhood spot if you're in the area and has a classic Japanese feel. Id like to go back and check out the Hidden Pearl, the cocktail bar in the back. read more

A friend and I came upon this new ramen restaurant in Greenpoint and decided to give it a shot. We weren't disappointed! From the outside it is very minimalistic and Zen simplistic, very Ma. Once you step inside, the restaurant has a wonderful open feeling and the decoration and design is done very tastefully. The unique wood decor feels natural and invites you to relax and surrender yourself to the experience. The service was very good, given that we came in at the end of the lunch shift and it was about to close. We never felt rushed and the waiter was very friendly and offered suggestions. My friend and I got the Washu Beef Ramen and the Miso Beef Ramen. Both were delicious in their own way. The Washu Beef Ramen had a very rich tasting broth, but unlike pork broth it was not very oily or fatty. It just had strong notes of umami and I enjoyed it a lot. We also order a Kaki Fry (fried oysters) which came out perfectly hot and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The proportions were good and we didn't have enough space for any dessert. There is also a bar dining area in the back which opens in the evening which looked interesting. The restrooms were immaculate and had very unique sliding doors. All in all we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend Wanpaku and to go back again! read more

Long time ramen lovers usually have very strong opinions about their favorite ramen restaurants and ramen dishes. I'm certainly no exception. While I generally enjoy traditional ramen houses, I am always open to try nouveau fusion ramen joints when they come highly recommended. Enter Wanpaku...a ramen house with nouveau fusion ramen recipes. When reading down the menu, traditional ramen lovers may be quite apprehensive to order a ramen dish called "BBQ Beef Ribs Ramen" or "Spicy Pulled Pork Ramen". But please brush any worries aside, and go ahead and order some of the most flavorful and satisfying ramen dishes you'll ever have! Both of the aforementioned ramen dishes are some of the best ramen I've ever had, in any style, period (I dream about that Spicy Pulled Pork Ramen)! Also, if you like spicy sauces, ask for their in-house spicy sauce. It's perfectly spicy, sweet, and aromatic. I can easily eat their spicy sauce on it's own...it's that delicious. The appetizers or Japanese Tapas here bring the mouth lots of joy...but really, it's the ramen dishes here that stand out! Atmosphere and the attentive service are top rate! As I write this review, I can't wait to go back! read more

I would give Wanpaku 3-5 stars depending on the meal you get here. I have had 2 of their ramens and 1 curry dish. I personal favorite is their signature beef rib ramen because the meat is seasoned so well and it just falls off the bone. The curry is mediocre, and after adding on items, it gets to be pricey. I would recommend coming here during the weekend for their high ball and apps specials, so yummy! Just 1-2 dollars off though. read more

Food was 3.5 stars but the polite staff and their nice and attentive service pushes it to 4 stars Pork Katsu curry was great. The Japanese curry was on point with its flavor and had just the right amount of spiciness. The scotch egg, however, was kind of weird and did not go well with the dish. Being lukewarm did not help the egg's flavor either. Washu beef ramen started out ok. Presentation was excellent, a feast for the eyes. There was 4 slices of rare washu beef- first slice tasted great and was tender, the other 3 slices were not as tender or tasty and was closer to just normal rare steak. The noodles were good. Egg was good. Broth was somewhat salty starting out, and by the end I was so salted out that I could not finish (a rarity). Overall, somewhat disappointing given the pricey $20 for this ramen. read more

Wanpaku - Washu Beef Ramen with extra egg - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

So I was debating between 4 and 5 stars but opted for four based on my own personal preference. My favorite kind of ramen is tonkatsu which they don't have. The Shoyu ramen I got was just OK but that's understanding that I'm not a HUGE fan of that kind of ramen to begin with. It was a very clear, light, chicken broth base with a tiny bit of sweetness but had the most amazing chashu pork I've ever had, or at least top 5. It's not the standard chashu pork, it's really soft and thick, way more like a thick cut of pork belly that melts in your mouth like butter. The noodles were also just ok but once again, based on my preference. They looked like egg noodles or the slightly yellow wavy kind and a bit al dente. I prefer the white homemade thin straight noodles. Chashu pork 10/10 Shoyu ramen 7/10 Service 10/10 Atmosphere & Decor 10/10 I'll be returning to try some other menu items! read more

This place is exceptional. The food was stellar. My party came on a weekend, which I suggest, and we got fried gyoza, spicy fried chicken (karaage), pork buns, tuna crispy rice, and mango salmon crudo to start. All were splendid, the friend chicken most of all. The sauce was immaculate. We mostly dined on the appetizers but also got a ramen, the spicy pulled pork one, and the beef curry. The ramen was wondrous. I will say--and this is why I subtracted one star--the curry was not worth it in the slightest. It's deceptively called beef curry, but does not come with beef. It is just beef sauce. I had to pay extra to add in a protein, which was unexpected and unfortunate. The waitress encouraged me to add pork. I'd steer away from that. All in all, though, the other food was great. read more

Worst place ever. I have never seen a waitress so rude to her surrounding. Maybe she should work at K-Mart information desk. That's right there is no information desk at K-Mart. She needs to check her attitude at the door like a coat check, because this was the WORST customer service EVER!!!! read more

Food: 3 Service: 4 This review is for a Shoyu Ramen. Overall good taste but it has some arugula (or similar greens) which make the taste slightly bitter. The broth is on the salty side. The two pieces of pork are good size but the meat is a little stringy. If you want a better ramen spot in the neighborhood, go to Ramen Spot (not a typo, the actual name of the restaurant) 2 blocks away. read more

Had chicken karrage with a side of noodle. Even though they don't come together, the server was willing to accommodate. I want noodle with crispY chicken basically. The chicken kaarrage came in large pieces, battered but not fully covered, served with sweet mayo and salt pepper MSG on the side. Noodle wass ordered as a side and came plain. I'd order this combination again for sure. I eat like a kid sometime lol read more

I took my date here for a birthday dinner and had a great time! We sat at the outdoor seating and the ambience is excellent, with cozy seating at a wooden bar that looks towards the street. I ordered some sake with the sesame chicken and shishito peppers, and everything was cooked perfectly, served in a satisfying portion size, and fun to eat! The service was very kind and efficient, too. At the end of dinner, the waitstaff came out with a platter of mochi ice cream with a lit candle in it and sung my date happy birthday! Would totally come back again - this is one of my favorite places in Greenpoint. read more

For a $15 bowl of ramen, I've never had so much flavor! I had the Spicy Miso Butter Ramen and loved it. It had just the right amount of portions of noodle, vegetables, and mushrooms.

Wow the ramen here was definitely not disappointing. I stopped by at night with some friends on a weekend and we were STARVING. Luckily the ramen came out FAST. The portions were huge and all of us gobbled everything down and were so full. I'm always worried when I get ramen that the noodles will be too soft, but these were not overcooked at all. Coming back again if I can to try the brothless ramen! read more

[Delivery Review] Very poor chain of communication on behalf of Grubhub and Wanpaku. Unfortunately, due to miscommunication between the grubhub driver and the restaurant, 2/3 of our order was left behind. After speaking with both, the only resolution was to place another order with no form of compensation for time waited. The customer service experience on both ends felt very elusive to admitting fault and seeking to make this experience better in lieu of the obvious misstep. It felt like pulling teeth to suggest refunding additional fees considering the incomplete service. Not even worth chasing the full refund, despite this meal being entirely spoiled by the customer service experience. 10/10 would not attempt to order again or order through Grubhub. read more

Wanpaku is an attractive, legit-seeming Japanese restaurant in Greenpoint with good branding, nice design touches, and fake Japanese food that made me angry. If their sign used that "Asian" typeface that all the fake Japanese restaurants use, and the name was something like Mizu or Ninja or Samurai, then I would have been prepared for this level of bad. The grilled salmon teishoku - Japanese set meal - was inexplicably served with tartar sauce (!), and avocado (?), and insipid, salty broth instead of miso soup. The rice was hard and barely edible, and the oshinko (pickled vegetables) was just celery, although that was the best thing on this $15 plate. The Wanpaku staff should take a field trip to Ootoya to see how teishoku should be made. Not that Ootoya is amazing, but it gets the job done and satisfies every time, for a few dollars more. read more

Decent place with an incredibly aesthetic everything. I had the ceviche ramen- a cornucopia of fresh fish, octopus, and scallops - and my boyfriend got the curry. I really enjoyed my ramen and especially loved the salmon. However, I wish it were a little more slimy like other cold ramens I've had. This one definitely took a salty, lemony approach which gave the seafood a more American taste I thought (but I really have no idea what I'm talking about- I just wanted it to have more soy sauce and a little egg white). The curry was good but nothing too special. Probably on par with GoGo Curry. I would come back to try more dishes! read more

Love this place! Ordered take out and ate it at the park, but they are offering some outdoor seating during COVID. We got the coconut kabocha croquettes, the karaage(fried chicken), and a curry with vegetables and tofu. Everything was super tasty. It was a Friday night and they were busy but the food was ready on time. There are lots of food options in this area but the food here is so good we've come back a few times now! read more

Goal is to try out different ramen spots. Found this place on yelp. First off we got seated the waitress forgot to give us a menu for awhile, was getting angry bout to give a four star. But she was smart gave me a free soda. And the 4 star shot right back up to a 5 star lmao. We had the karaage and the kakuni bun it was ok. I had the Washu ramen and bf had the bbq beef rib ramen. First off let me say the egg was perrrrrrfect . Very flavorful and the yoke was runny jelly My washu ramen was ok in my opinion my broth was better than the broth in the beef rib. The beef rib ramen was also ok the broth was a bit salty, the beef rib was tender fall off the bone tender. In my opinion if the beef rib was put into my broth it would be a perfect bowl of ramen. If you're around the area worth a taste. read more
