    One of the few places that were open on a Monday in the neighborhood so I stumbled it - to the crispiest panko curry. The Warude curry was so delicious, the sauce was mild and perfectly complemented by the veg and rice. It was a hearty and delicious meal without the extra fuss.

    Eclectic outpost on Tompkins serving a mix of Japanese-inspired bowls, including katsu curry, and tacos. I stopped in, enticed by the signs advertising the new breakfast tacos that have recently been added to the menu. It's a hefty serving for a good price, but the green salsa did little to elevate the "basic breakfast taco" above its name.

    My friend brought me here after we played tennis and I was so glad he did. I almost got the ramen but ended up getting the Warude Curry. Wow it was delicious. A generous amount of chicken/fish/shrimp in a delicious but mild curry sauce with rice and veggies. I need to go back and try the ramen and tacos. We sat outside on the sidewalk which was nice since it's a quiet street. Prices were pretty reasonable too.

    5/5 Some of the Best Bowls I've Had -- Anywhere I ate here twice in one day -- that should tell you everything. This place is the real deal. The flavors are bold, layered, and ridiculously satisfying. The first bowl I had was loaded with crispy chicken katsu over a rich, velvety curry. The veggies were perfectly charred, the fried onions added the right crunch, and the portion was generous without feeling heavy. Paired with the kale salad (which is shockingly refreshing and not overdressed), it hit every note. Came back later for the ramen, and honestly... it might be some of the best I've had. The broth was deep and savory without being salty, the chashu had that perfect caramelized char, and the soft-boiled eggs were spot-on with a creamy yolk. The corn, seaweed, sprouts, scallions -- all fresh, vibrant, and balanced. You can tell the ingredients are treated with care. Service is friendly, the space is clean, and the food comes out hot and fast. You can tell there's real pride in what they're serving. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and go. And if you're like me, you might end up going twice in a day.

    Amazingly well done! Been looking for a legitimate Japanese curry place, thanks to the lady who recommended this place when I visited Bed Stuy. The Japanese curry is pretty much legit. The staff are mostly Japanese, which is convincing and telling. The matcha açaí latte they have is very promising. While I got the most popular dish: the Warude Curry which is a mix of different breaded things: pork, fish, shrimp, and chicken! Delicious and satisfying. Recommended!

    I always enjoy coming back here when I'm in the neighborhood. Their food is always consistent, you know what you're getting. You can never go wrong with their tacos, they're just that good! We got the fried chicken, grilled shrimp, fried cod fish, and grilled salmon. They were all equally delicious, fresh, and you can taste the quality ingredients they fill with each taco. I love their Matcha Beer, it's refreshing and flavorful. It compliments the tacos nicely. This spot is always steadily busy, you can usually grab a table if you wait long enough. They're always playing great music, the vibe is chill but fun, and the staff are always friendly. This is a great local taco spot with awesome tacos, be sure to check them out when you're in the area.

    I was highly disappointed by this place...marketed as an Asian fusion restaurant it was a big let down. Service was also not friendly. This was not my first time here either. I tried the rice bowl and it was so dry and lacked flavor. I was hoping my next time would be better but...the ramen broth lacked flavor and was extremely watery. Additionally, the $6 tofu add on was slimey and unseasoned. The overall flavor was disappointing but also just a let down. Would not recommend.

    In Bed Stuy looking for a place to grab breakfast? Look no further than Warude! I spent a month in Bed Stuy, and this was right around the corner from where I was staying. What I really liked apart from the food is the general vibe of the place. Instead of being an enclosed place like most restaurants are, Warude is open at the front. It feels really homey, kind of like you're pulling into someone's driveway and hanging out. Of course, the food was delicious too. The breakfast tacos are generous in size and very hearty. The nachos left a little something to be desired but are still good to share.

    basic curry w/ chicken

    Food: 4.5/5 | Service: 4/5 | Experience: 4/5 This joint is in what looks like a former garage. There are not too many seats; there are tables that spill out into the sidewalk area - very lax and no frills place. There's a decently sized menu with a variety of options, and prices looked ok. I ordered the basic curry with chicken, which took mere minutes to come out. The chicken was crispy but not oily, and the curry was pretty thick. The rice was also well cooked.

    Grilled Shrimp Taco
    Nick N.

    This place is sooo unique and I've been meaning to check it out each time I've passed by. It's a mix of Japanese and Mexican food with bowls and tacos. I thought the tacos were a little pricey but they were really good. Took maybe 5-10 min for my grilled shrimp taco to be ready. There's a bit of seating inside but it's a pretty casual vibe overall. Would be a good idea for a quick bite with friends.

    This became my go-to matcha latte spot in Bedstuy because it's good quality and under $5. You can watch them whisk the matcha right after you order! Also the staff here have all been kind. I've tried their food before but honestly have just been coming for the bevs.

    Warude Japanese Plate, panko shrimp
    Peter C.

    I've had this place a few times before and usually I get the curry bowl (would recommend, 5/5). Today I thought I'd try something new and go with the Japanese plate instead. The miso soup was quite interesting, I enjoyed how many ingredients they put into it! It was comprised of more than just miso paste and tofu, there was some kelp and mushroom in there. The salted Japanese pickles were too salty for my liking so that was a miss. For the protein, I did the +$2 upcharge and got the salted grilled mackerel. It was absolutely delicious. I was worried it wouldn't be enough food for me so I also ordered a side order of panko fried shrimp. I really love how clean the food here tastes, it's not overly fatty or greasy, and it's simple food made with quality ingredients. Like I said before, I usually get their curry bowls, and you really can't go wrong with any of their panko fried proteins (shrimp, fish, chicken). For those looking for a healthier alternative, I would recommend their teriyaki chicken bowl. The service is fast and friendly, and there are casual seating options both inside and outside. The tables are small, however, so I'm not sure this place would be ideal for larger parties (greater than 4). The prices aren't super cheap but for the quality of the ingredients they use, I feel like you are getting good value. The price of a chipotle burrito with guac in the city is comparable and that can't compare to the quality and flavor Warude provides in their dishes.

    Sunday brunch Tacos done right! Along with a bottle of Saratoga Sparkling water to hydrate in this heat wave of a situation we ordered: Shrimp Tacos: Freshly cooked shrimp with a couple of veggies. Nothing too fancy or unique. It required the addition of a lot of sauces on the side to enhance the flavor so probably not the most enjoyable on its own. 5/10 Fried Cod Taco: Crispy interiors of the fried cod went well with the soft exterior of the taco shell. Good on flavor and good on texture. 8.5/10 Chicken Mole Taco: The chicken was cooked perfectly and flavorful to the best degree. The mole flavor was present and jazzed up this taco wonderfully which could otherwise be ordinary which it wasn't at all. 10/10 Chicken Mole Breakfast Taco: shaped and wrapped as a burrito and absolutely delicious. The chicken mole flavor was prominent as you'd like for it with a boost of some egg and cheese inside a soft taco exterior. This was delicious and a half. 10/10

    What a great meal! We shared the Kaishin don, mentai pasta, and then 2 rolls between 2 of us. We…read morewere originally just going to order one roll but then the waitress told us it wouldn't be enough food but then we ended up having a ton of leftovers, so next time I wouldn't order that again. The Kaishin don was the star. The fish was so fresh and the seaweed added a nice crunch. The mentai pasta was nice a creamy and the bacon bits added nice flavor. The rolls were also good but nothing to write home about so I might sub these for another dish the next time. Service was great and will definitely find myself back here at some point!

Reservations become available 14 days in advance on Resy, so I'd highly recommend booking early to secure a table during normal eating hours. Sadly, since it was just the two of us, we couldn't sample as much of the menu as we wanted. Our server recommended a hot appetizer and a fancier option from their Summer Special menu: KARAAGE - 14 Each order came with five thick pieces of chicken karaage. The chicken arrived hot and juicy, seasoned well enough to be enjoyed on its own or dipped in the side of shichimi mayo. This was a great appetizer to share, and I'd recommend it if you're looking for a reliable classic. TEMAKI SET - 95 Served in roughly an 8"x8" wooden box, this set was lavishly topped toro, Hokkaido uni, ikura, and possibly Iberian ham, with crispt nori sheets on the side to make DIY handrolls. After scooping a bit of everything into a little wrap, I was greeted with the most intense, fresh sea flavors. The toro and Iberian ham were fatty and buttery, blending seamlessly with the velvety smooth uni and the fresh, bursting pops of ikura. I had to pause after every bite just to deeply savor it, and I lost count of how many times I said, "Wow, this is so good." Since I don't live in NYC, I generally avoid repeating restaurants even if I enjoyed them. However, Ozakaya is an exception to this rule -- it's easily one of the best meals I've eaten during all my recent visits. I don't know where they source their seafood, but it's incredibly fresh and packed with umami. Even days after, I'm still thinking about the velvety sweetness of that uni, and I can't wait for my next visit.

I hate ordering on iPads and kiosks as it is, so it was a little rough that the reception seemed to be shoddy the day I went and pictures/menu descriptions were not showing up. The staff was fairly responsive for our further questions afterwards, so I think this is something they could do away with, or at least they should make an effort to improve the ordering system. The food did come out pretty quickly. I got the karaage donburi because I don't love Japanese or Korean style curry. The chicken was fried crispy, a tad on the rubbery side due to the technique they used to keep it from drying out. The sauce was really lackluster. The dish wasn't too balanced, and the rice felt like it was sitting there for a bit. Obviously, they're a curry store & the person I went with did seem to enjoy the curry dish.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

First: got combo B which was the perfect amount for 2 people since it included an appetizer, 2 ramens, 2 desserts and 2 drinks. Left very filled and happy.

The tonkotsu and miso ramens were good, but not particularly notable. Kyuramen is a chain after all, so the food quality gives that same vibe as comforting when you're just craving some. Second: Got the yakitori platter, beef ramen (seasonal) and curry ramen and I'd personally pass on all of them. Their meats are over cooked which makes them tough. Both times the service was fine, I appreciate the call button so both don't have to wait for awkward timing issues. I do like the aesthetic of the place, especially with the privacy of the room shades/dividers. p.s. don't forget their slurp and win program! When you drink all the broth, there's a word on the bottom (or not) where you can get a free popcorn chicken/drink/etc for your next visit.
