We reserved 2 seats at the “chefs table” which looked from photos to be a bartop with a great view into the kitchen. Unfortunately, half of the seats at this bartop can’t even see into the kitchen because they placed 3 large plants directly in front of the seats. It is the most idiotic design I’ve ever seen at a restaurant.
On top of that, during our meal one of the staff members was pouring our water and accidentally knocked over two candles onto my partner’s lap! (Real, lit candles, not the fake ones). I get it, accidents happen, whatever, but our server, who watched the whole thing unfold, didn’t seem to care, didn’t apologize apologize, and didn’t even ask if my partner was okay. We were expecting maybe a free dessert as compensation, or maybe to have one of our sides taken off the bill but… nothing.
Food was nothing special either. Not worth it

Food was excellent, the mix of flavors stood out. Service could’ve been better though, we came for our 2:45 reservation and the server/bartender had an unwelcoming attitude and he looked visibly tired. But I understand since we were one of the last big parties to sit. Overall great place to try Indonesian fusion but be prepared to spend some money.

Shoutout to Phoebe - best waitress in the city. Sides were very unique and recommend ordering most of them or multiple orders of the ones you like. Not a bad thing on the menu, but sashimi, spring rolls, lobster pasta, ribs, corn fritter and sprouts were the must haves. Desserts surprisingly great too, but mainly because of the quality of the ice cream.

We randomly walked in to this restaurant and Omar was a great host who welcomed us and accommodate our party even though we didn’t have a reservation for lunch. What an amazing culinary experience. Everything we tried was delicious. Highly recommend the pork ribs, the cauliflower, and the hamachi. The desserts were unbelievably good and the service was exceptional.

I had an amazing dining experience at Wayan! The food was outstanding, but what truly made the night unforgettable was the exceptional service. Phoebe took such great care of us — warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the entire meal. She made everything feel effortless.
Omar was also incredible — super professional, knowledgeable about the menu, and giving us great recommendations that made the experience even better.
Overall, Wayan delivers not just delicious food but top-tier hospitality. Highly recommended!
The food was incredibly good and packed with flavor.

Type of restaurant where you really come for something special in terms of taste! Is amazing. I tend to say is the best in nyc so far! Plus great service, no rush for the courses etc. I highly highly recommend it!

The restaurant maintains its popularity even as new places open nearby. Their employees showed flexibility with our group and performed excellently. You can taste both freshness and balanced seasoning. Everything tastes like the best version. This place provides consistent quality.
The waitress was pretty rude! She said she’d bring us sauce but didn’t, didn’t know the menu correctly, and walked away while I was talking. For such a high price point it’s very disappointing.
Food is laughably bad

If you are promised certain seating you will most likely not get that seating even if you requested it weeks in advance. Too crowded and very uncomfortable seating. The food took over an hour to come out.

I’ve visited this spot three times and had an amazing experience each time. I’ve tried almost everything on the menu, but my favorites are the scallop satay, corn fritters, and lobster noodles. The server’s recommendation of the avocado salad was spot on, with incredible flavors, and the cocktails were unique and outstanding. I absolutely love this place and can’t wait to try their new restaurant Ma’de soon!
