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. read more

Great service! However, the urban eatery vibe, was much better than the dish. The Miso Salmon was overcooked, under-seasoned, underwhelming and overpriced. It's unfortunate. Maybe the curry dishes are better, but I'll never know. read more

I think this is a perfect spot for someone who doesn't want to eat super heavy. Food was fresh and quality ingredients were used. I think it is on the pricey side for the portion of the salmon bowl but I would definitely come again . I think the ambience is perfect for the area. The iced ginger turmeric was to die for. They should consider a location somewhere downtown Brooklyn. I think they would do great. read more

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. read more

Warude - WARUDE Curry - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

I had the chicken katsu curry. The sauce was really tasty and the breading on the chicken was light but crunchy. I really enjoyed it. The nearly $20 price for the portion is unfortunate but that's what things cost these days. read more

I got a Japanese plate takeaway. Organic brown rice was cooked perfectly. The miso soup was very good, medium on the miso flavor scale, with lots of seaweed. So was the tofu, medium firm, and the portion was ok for a plate format. Only negative is that the sauce was too thick IMO. Super friendly staff. read more

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. read more

Warude - Breakfast Veggie Taco, Nachos, Sweet Yam Taco - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Warude is my go-to lunch spot in the hood, my favorite is the fried chicken taco (my only critique is they need to work on their tortilla making ) but their fish taco, ramen and veggie dumplings are also stellar. If I'm being healthy I get the chicken teriyaki or salmon bowl with brown rice and kale salad. The Teriyaki sauce is not too heavy handed, and less sweet than most which is perfect for me. Great for people watching and checking out the Thompkins scene - though at lunch rush might be hard to secure a table! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Warude - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I spontaneously came into town and needed food. It was flavorful and delicious and cozy.

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. read more

Fun and tasty place. It's difficult to choose between rice bowls and tacos because both look so good I had a rice bowl and Japanese beer sitting outside. Very good. Great atmosphere. What a cute place. Will be back! read more

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 read more

Bomb outdoor spot! I was hanging out for the Sunday Tompkins Block Party and got hungry so we went to Warude per a friend's recommendation. Between the three of us, we tried the sweet yam, fried cod fish, fried chicken, and grilled shrimp tacos and we loved them all! Full of flavor and perfect taco portions. We also tried some of the sake which was tasty! read more

If you are in Bed-Stuy please check this place out. It is so good. One day we had delicious breakfast tacos- the chicken mole and their spicy spiced latte (iced) was amazing! The next day I had ramen with salmon and it was perfect. I also tried their tumeric matcha! Could have been hotter, but the flavor was really good. My husband had a chicken curry but was kind of bummed because it was the same mole sauce from the tacos. So a little redundant! But the chicken was good! Everyone there is super nice. The bathroom was super clean & they give customers a code to get in. It's order at the counter & small space with partial indoor/outdoor sidewalk seating. They have such an eclectic fusion menu and next time I'm back in NYC I'm definitely going to Brooklyn just to have Warude. read more

Warude - Ramen with salmon & chicken curry - Tacos Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have ordered delivery and gone in person. I've had the chicken mole taco, fried cod taco, guacamole and chips, miso salmon, and fried chicken curry bowl here. The tacos weren't bad, they don't skimp on the filling size, but they also require a substantial amount of salsa on top to made it less bland. The fried fish really needed spice. The guacamole was fresh and delicious but I wasn't a fan of the chips they used, they were too thick for my taste and so it felt very overwhelming vs just being a vehicle for the guacamole. The miso salmon is great, tender inside but crispy on the outside, just the way I like it. The fried chicken curry was so yummy, I think it will be hard to deviate from it in the future. They have really big portion sizes and the food seems quality, so I will definitely be back again. The dine in experience is like you're in a takeout garage. You order at a counter and wait for them to call your number. They have two tables inside and then several more outside. No table service and no frills. read more

I saw this place many times on UberEats but sometimes it is too far to justify trying it. But after getting my hair done nearby and I didn't have lunch so I was up for anything. I am mad at myself for not eating here before since it is a fusion of some of my favorite cuisines, Japanese and Mexican with Jamaican ital inspiration. I was in the mood for something filling so I got the bowl with organic brown rice, salmon miso, kale salad with the add ons of avocado and a soft boiled egg. I wanted to try the crispy chicken skin taco but they ran out so I got the cod one instead. It was tasty and filling especially the miso salmon itself (which you can order on its own). Definitely something I will add to my roster They quickly took my order at the counter which was nice. I came at the right time (1 pm Wednesday) since right after many people came to order. My order came out quick (they do a receipt number system where they call out your order number). They had funky (complimentary) seating indoors and outdoors and since they offer drinks from coffee to wine and sake, this would be a great hangout spot or a casual date. One thing to note is that they have specials posted near the cash register that you can miss if you don't look for them (plus if you order online). This place is worth a visit read more

I will start by saying the service is great and the people who took my order were very kind and informative. The ambiance is also pleasant with the openness of the restaurant and seating that goes into the street I really liked that. However the food was pretty disappointing. My friend got the Cod curry and the cod was probably the best thing they make. It's cooked to be crispy however the food was very mediocre. I got the salmon taco, shrimp taco, chicken and cod. They were all underwhelming as well. It didn't taste flavorful at all plus the hot sauce was not hot in my opinion. read more

I have had their tacos and gyoza a couple times now and I think it's a fun spot to combine both food genres! They could work on adding more flavor to the tacos and making tortillas that can hold their own with all the filling instead of falling apart. Also pretty expensive compared to other spots in BK read more

Have you ever woken up and wanted both Japanese and Mexican food but you couldn't figure out how to swing it? Well Warude has you covered! Tacos and tostadas live harmoniously with ramen and curry on their menu. This is a lively and popular neighborhood spot, and they've continued to thrive by expanding their outdoor dining capacity during COVID. I really enjoyed my basic curry with fried shrimp. Delicious curry, big shrimp, and a very generous portion. We also had the tuna sashimi tostada appetizer special and that really wowed me. I'm not usually tuna person, but they really knocked the flavors out with this dish. Alongside lunch we ordered a sparkling nigori sake, which I'd never tried before. The bubbles really add a refreshing element to the drink. Previously I tried a couple of their tacos. I'll have to make another trip before I settle on my thoughts there, but they're pretty solid. On a future trip I look forward to seeing what the ramen is like, but I have seen that people order it often so I'm sure it's also good. read more

Really vibrant shop with good music and most importantly delicious food! Lunch rush was busy here but didn't really have to wait too long to grab a table and order without calling ahead. Be warned though as they might run out of items you want to try so just keep that in mind if you're coming to try something specific. I ended up ordering one fried cod fish and one fried chicken taco and both were delicious! Nice portion sizes and perfectly crisp protein to hold the toppings. I felt full without the meal feeling too heavy so if you're hungry why not go for three! I like that they also have some options if you prefer to go vegetarian or vegan without having to sacrifice taste. read more

I'm a frequent eater in Bed Stuy. I found myself wanting tacos, while my cousin wanted ramen. He takes me to Warude. The aesthetic is a bit chaotic, but it works for this establishment. The seating was adequate, the meals quickly prepared and full of flavor. I ordered 3 tacos (Fried fish, fried chicken, and shrimp), chicken ramen, and cold unfiltered Sake. Smashed all of it. The chicken taco was my favorite bite, but the ramen was a close contender. I'm a tonkatsu ramen Stan, but the lack of pork on the menu meant nothing when I was scarfing down delicious tacos and noodles. Will definitely come back when I'm in the 'Stuy. read more

I came to this place because I was waiting for my Yelp event to start. First to start this place definitely caught my eye because it was big and had both outdoor and indoor seating. Also it has decorative walls. When I walked inside it was a Mexican curry fusion place. I ordered the fried chicken taco. I really enjoyed this taco but it was interesting. When I ordered the taco it did not have a tortilla. When I went to eat it; I told the person she checked and then they gave me a tortilla. So in my mind it would have been best if they gave me a new taco and asked me if I wanted to keep the tortilla less taco. But nonetheless I received my tortilla and it was very good. I would definitely come back and try other items from their menu. Also in their defense it was very busy and you can see they were operating at their peak time. I do recommend this place, things happen. read more

Stopped in here late Saturday afternoon (Oct. 21) and was left underwhelmed. I ordered the Basic Breakfast Taco and the name was spot-on. Yes, the name says it all so it's quite foolish to have high expectations. But to be quite frank, basic might be an understatement. Salt and pepper would have made this "basic" and this taco didn't have either. Hot sauce was the taco's saving grace. read more

I'm usually a skeptic when it comes to a restaurant that does wildly different menus Japanese and Tacos ? And then you add in the fact that the chef wanted to incorporate "ITAL" Rastafarian food philosophy into the menu and I start feeling like too much is going on. Lunch: I decided to go with the Crispy Skin Taco and the Warude Taco which was topped with grilled chicken. Taco was amazing. Ramen was ok. It really comes down to preference. It was bright and the grilled chicken had an amazing grilled flavor which I prefer paired with rice vs. soup. Next time i'll have the bowl instead. read more

This is a casual place to dine in or out. It's my 1st time trying this place but if I want something quick to eat and hit the road I'll try this place again. I definitely enjoyed the chicken mole taco whew what a good bite. Warude has interestingly Japanese and Mexican cuisine. read more

Japanese and Mexican food on one menu? Why not! And when it's this good, no one's gonna question why you can get a salmon miso bowl and a chicken mole taco at the same restaurant. Anyone gatekeeping authenticity should look no further than Warude's own website, which explains that the origin of the fish taco began when Japanese fisherman in Mexico put fish tempura in tortillas. It stands to reason that anything that tastes good can be put into a tortilla to make a delicious taco, hence their menu which features tacos with unique ingredients like sweet yam and crispy chicken skin. I love that they underscore that in a global world, all food is fusion, and the way they combine Japanese and Mexican ingredients is a well executed fusion I can get behind. Everything I ordered was fantastic, from the grilled shrimp taco to the fried cod fish taco and the tortilla soup. Even the simple side of rice and beans was enjoyable, made even better by their really fantastic hot sauce. It enhanced the flavor of everything I doused it on, which was everything. Both tacos were hefty enough to feel okay about paying $5.95 per taco for, and flavorful enough to consider ordering another one or three. My partner was really impressed with their crispy chicken skin taco and fried chicken taco, both fillings you don't normally see paired with tortillas but worked very well together. I'd love to return for one of their Japanese curry bowls and definitely the chips with cod fish and horseradish dip. This is very much a popular neighborhood spot, so the handful of sidewalk tables they set up outside will often be full. The tables turnover quickly though so a table will likely vacate by the time you order, pay at the register, and wait for them to call your ticket number. The owner is also a musician who plays Afro-Caribbean, African and Japanese drums. On his website he writes about how much touring around the world has influenced his outlook on food culture, the environment, and music which all sound kind of random but once you understand the through line it makes dining at Warude all the more enjoyable. read more

Warude is a gem in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood. During the pandemic, I ordered from here, a few times, and it was tasty. Recently, I got to experience the greatness, in person. I loved the shrimp tacos, the teriyaki chicken and shrimp and zucchini bowls, and the breakfast tacos. The outdoor dining is a vibe. Nice way to people watch and take Tompkins Ave. all in. Can't wait to go again. It was a perfect stop to get lunch on a Saturday afternoon. read more

I had been eyeing this place for a very long time with its bright awnings and cute little tables outside. So I decided to treat myself to lunch with friends to day. Though ordering process is very simple, walk up to the window in order then take a seat in wait. When your order is ready they call you or they may even bring it to your table. The quality of the food is very good. Everything tastes fresh and healthy. The prices are a little steep for the portions but you know businesses have been struggling (suck it up buttercup, we need good takeout). I ordered the fish taco, the chicken taco (so tasty), and the organic Brown rice and beans. I also had the matcha latte which was very good (ceremonial grade) whisked right in front of you. They have multiple milk options which was a plus for me. I would definitely have it again. read more
