I just bought takeout from this place. Suffice to say, I will never ever go back. The service was horrendous, and the guy taking my order rushed me and constantly tried to push me to finish my order. There was only 1 table inside, and it was 15 degrees outside, it wasn’t busy.

Now, with that said, I expected better food.
Their curry consisted of instant curry sauce, and one piece of potatoe and a tiny small piece of beef.

Sorry, this is an embarrassment. This place either fixes these basic simple issues or it will not survive.

Do not bother. This place not worth it.

Ramen was prepared in a very simple way, especially the broth itself. Tofu wasn’t good.

Quality Japanese and reasonable prices. If I could give the service 6 stars I would!

Highly recommend the Honey Sesame Chickendon!

Excellent shoyu ramen. I’ve heard this is the best in Brooklyn, and I can totally see why. Honestly, I haven’t even tried their other items because every time I visit, I just have to order this one again.

Ate here twice & this ramen isn’t really that good. 4/10. Take a trip and spread your money elsewhere !

To keep it short, this is not Japanese food. The homemade katsu sauce was not katsu sauce and the soup just left me with so many questions. I couldn’t finish the soup. The beef curry was good but the other dishes were so bad I can’t justify coming back here.

It used to be my favorite ramen spot, one of the best fries but unfortunately something happened recently, change of menu, not sure if staff/chef changed, but suddenly the fries were coated in some super salted spice, ramen that used to be strong flavor was over salted, and chilli oil which used to be top notch was just tasteless and again super salted and not spicy like it used to be, as a bonus I got food poisoning. No thank you

This is one of the best ramen in the area. Flavors are well balanced and deep in texture. A variety of Japanese whiskeys, beers, and sake. Food presentation is enticing. Highly recommend wanpaku for their ramen dishes.

Cute space and you can tell they care about the food that comes out. Everything smells great and beautiful plating. In talking with the team it’s nice to hear it’s becoming more farm to table - you can definitely taste the difference from other places in the area. Loved the heirloom tomatoes dish- definitely feels like summer in a dish with the pink tangerines! (Pictured ) they also have a cool looking bar hidden in the back that was packed. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area - worth the visit 🙌🏼

The spicy pulled pork ramen is insane, y’all… I went for a bowl in 90° heat the other day which should show how good it is!! Dine in at the restaurant and hit up the Hidden Pearl afterwards for a cocktail!

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!
