Wood Ear offers a welcoming vibe and great plant-based food options, including a vegan ramen that is described as "bomb." The restaurant has a casual, fun atmosphere with a mix of western bar style and Japanese influences. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable. The service is friendly, and the salad and rice bowl are also highly praised. Vegetarian and vegan options are clearly labeled, making it easy for guests to find suitable choices. The restaurant has an impressive drink menu, and the cocktails are excellent, with the bartender creating a pleasant experience. The fusion of ramen and smokehouse flavors is tasty and creative, with fresh ginger and wasabi adding to the experience. Guests have enjoyed dishes like the Mushroom ramen, the Buffalo cauliflower, and the salad (Avocado Nori), highlighting the superb broth and tasty pickles. Many visitors also loved the Mushroom Fest meal and Raw Berry Tart dessert. The atmosphere and food are so good that guests say they want to visit often, especially noting the helpful staff and top-notch setting. Despite a busy upstairs area managed by a single server, the overall experience remains memorable. Recent reviews mention the ramen noodles with pulled pork and smoked brisket, though service was below average due to distractions. Visitors recommend coming early for happy hour, which offers delicious food, discounts, and attentive service. Popular dishes during this time include the Grilled Brisket Nigiri, Pork on Pork Ramen, and Raw Berry Bar, with many enjoying the flavorful ramen, even if it can be salty. The casual downstairs and bar area have a character-filled vibe, and the staff are attentive and helpful, offering good recommendations. Guests enjoyed cocktails like the Lemony Snicket and shared appetizers such as Banh Mi sandwiches, Brussels sprouts, buffalo cauliflower, wasabi salad, and waffle fries. The Pork on Pork Ramen was praised for its delicious flavors, especially when extra wood ear mushrooms were added for extra character. Overall, Wood Ear provides a fun, flavorful fusion of tastes, making it a popular choice for those seeking a unique dining experience.
