Excelente. Servicio variedad. De comida. Deliciosas . Y frescas
I love going here, but it can be super crowded if I don't come here right when they are open.
I normally order the Tokyo Mazemen, and OMG...they are so so so good!! It's super garlicky, even Dracula won't dare to come 🤣
If you don't want to wait, either come early right when they are open or late in the afternoon.

The vegan mazemen was excellent! Very flavorful, the noodles were chewy and the soy beef was good, especially with vinegar added.
The wait staff was friendly in explaining components of their dishes, and how to eat mazemen, the directions for which are also painted on the wall.

WADAYA - West LA is a good ramen spot with great service. The polite staff remembered who ordered what and quickly seated a party of seven on a Saturday afternoon, making it a good place for groups. The only downside is tables and chairs are small. Ramen is tasty, and the vinegar is umami.
The mazemen is delicious and tasty with very big portions. Price is a little on the high side but makes sense for the quality of food. The veggie miso with Jack cheese is so delicious, and the vegan mazemen and vegan ramen are both amazing. The veggie ramen came with cherry tomatoes, fried eggplant, lotus, mizuna, and broccoli. The broth was perfect and very delicious. The restaurant is not huge, but is clean. Menus are QR code, and the waiter efficiently took orders.
Famous Mazemen options include the curry, tokyo, kyoto, and saituya. Each was phenomenal. A pro tip is to save a little broth and request a small cup of rice to soak it up. Highly recommend this shop for ramen lovers or anyone interested in trying it. It's worth the shot.
