I tried the cold ramen at Wanpaku and it was such a unique experience—unlike anything I’ve had before! I expected it to be more like cold dipping soba, but it actually felt closer to a poke-style ramen with cuts of salmon, tuna, cucumber, octopus, ikura, etc; on top of ramen noodles and then you pour the sauce over the dish yourself — mixed with the radish, seafood/mint topping, it was really refreshing and flavorful.
The ingredients could have been a bit fresher, but overall I enjoyed the nice interior, the food was refreshing, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth trying the cold ramen for something different!

Really good place! They have Chirashi cold noodles which is fresh fish with noodles — absolutely 10/10 highly recommend if you can find it! They give you a ton of seafood too.
Have to come back for some of the other options, everything looked great and the interior did too.

solid food for a somewhat reasonable price but the tip recommendations are uncomfortable/borderline egregious (lowest recommendation $10 on a $45 bill??).

Super solid ramen spot in Greenpoint! We’ll definitely be back. The noodles and charred pork in the ramen were especially good. The truffle fries were fine, not a standout for us. It’s nice they have a selection of cocktails from the hidden pearl that you can order from the menu.

FOR EXPERIENCED EATERS: DO NOT COME HERE!!!
Food: Extremely Bland and Little Amounts Service: Alright, but chased us out for tips Atmosphere: Depressing but Romantic?
IN DEPTH
Food: Ordered first thing on the menu, one with pork and the other with chicken. Both meats were extremely dry and had little to no flavor. Both also had a burnt taste, which ruined the experience. The ramen noodles were okay. Soup base was HORRIBLE. Extremely bland and ruined the taste of the whole dish and the bok choy because it's supposed to be a supplemental ingredient. Egg was alright, but nobody could mess up an egg. Also got takoyaki, but depressingly, I paid for 5 takoyaki for 7 bucks. Didn't even use takoyaki sauce. They had some disgusting sauce made with barbeque sauce and yuzu mixed together.
Service: Service was alright and always filled water whenever they could. I only gave a 1 star rating because I was planning to give a cash tip, but before I had the chance, they rudely came to me and asked if they wanted to charge service tip to card or cash. Therefore, it earned them a 1 star.
Atmosphere: Was exactly what it was, depressing and romantic. Cool temperature lights and a dim atmosphere gave a depressing vibe, but they also put a candle that seemed out of place but felt romantic. The place is very clean though.

By far the best karaage in nyc. Try the hidden pearl for cocktails in the back also
From the moment we walked in… A+++, server DUKE went above and beyond for me and my wife. Besides the great service, the food was out of this world, the appetizer was delicious and the ramen was so rich and flavorful… Definitely coming back soon with me and my wife
Though ramen is there thing, I wanted something that would feel warming and rejuvenating after lots of incline runs. The curry was fantastic. It was exactly what I needed. Lots of sauce and MSG.

Light and delicious shoyu ramen. Noodles were very fresh! Different add in options. Edamame was really nice. Bar/speakeasy in the back! Worth checking out for Ramen and drinks

This place goes straight to the top of my list of NYC ramen. The cleaner lighter kind, modest on fat and salt broth is delicious. Chashu is clean, meaty, and has a wonderful amount of charcoal-like grill taste. Noodles are plum. Very well composed dish that you don't have to stand in line for. Spicy chicken karaage was awesome too.
