I love Wabi house! I have been to this location many times! The food is always consistent and so delicious! My favorite ramen is the veggie and the tsukemen (only offered after 5pm). All the small plates are also so delicious! I recommend the chicken karaage, seared hotate, takoyaki, house salad, and beets and brussels! Every time I have ordered these, I have never been disappointed!
There can be long wait times so make sure to get on the waitlist prior to arrival, if possible.
They have a parking lot but you have to validate your parking. Make sure to scan the QR code when you get to the restaurant for a couple hours of free parking.
They have inside seating at the bar or booths. They have some outdoor seating as well (also a bar and some tables). They have heaters outside so it isn’t too cold in the winter months.
Love everything
Not like before, they had a tablet near the front desk to remind you fill out the form to avoid the parking fee. Right not you have to remember to scan their QR code from their menu to fill out the form. If you forget, they can’t waive your parking fee, you have to either call your bank to dispute or call the airgarage to waive. It’s headache. And the food is not bad, but not one of the best either.
I've been here a few times and the food has been really good and surprisingly authenticity. I order their tsukune skewers (chicken meatballs) and it came with an egg which is something you'd see in japan. I also love how they always have a special item! Definitely recommend if they're serving mazemen to get it! Mazemen is kind of like the carbonara of Ramen, super creamy! Is a Lil pricey but worth it!
Addendum to my review :
Since the review was published, Amanda, the manager did reach out to me for an explanation and we had a very productive discussion to ensure that the regrettable incident doesn't happen again. I have been back to Wabi House since then and it was amazing as usual. I will go back with my family soon and hope they do not disappoint.
Original Review:
Usually our go to place for Ramen. But unfortunately not a place to go if you have a big party (more than 5). Tatum, the hostess was unfortunately not at all accommodating and quite honestly condescending. For someone who has consistently been to Wabi House for more than 10 years as it is close to downtown Fort Worth, I decided to take my family here and it was a big mistake. There were multiple tables available to sit people but not 6 together and we were willing to split as well, yet apparently the hostess felt it was not her personal policy to split and put us on a waiting list for 1hr 30 mins. Not sure why the hostess would care how we sit. We would have still ordered the same amount of food and in reality probably more and would have definitely left a more than generous tip as well. Obviously, I took my family to Teddy Wongs just down the street. They not only have really good food but also very friendly staff and hostess.
Unfortunately, Wabi House is being sabotaged by a thoughtless and rude hostess. For large family, stay away from Wabi House.
They left the shrimp out of my lunch order. When I discovered it, I called and left a message letting them know. I got a call back that afternoon from Kristen, who'd already found the order and refunded the missing shrimp. Mistakes happen but they get 5-stars for handling it like pros. And the Ramen was still amazing.
I'll dine in next time. Nice atmosphere.
Solid place for Ramen and other tasty Japanese style tasty dishes. My favorite small dish was the beets and Brussel sprouts. I had the spicy miso ramen and it was delicious. I did not take more photos because I was too consumed in enjoying the meal. The atmosphere and service were great. We sat outdoors and had such a great vibe where you'd want to hang out with friends and enjoy a nice meal. Cannot recommend this place enough.
Always a fantastic experience. The Tenderloin Yakitori is a must have for anyone coming here for a first time. Can't recommend enough for any ramen lover.
Fort Worth's Wabi House has been hit or miss for me within the last few months due to service and miscommunication issues - all until our dining experience last night, led by Ramiro, changed my views/hesitancy dining here!
Ramiro is essentially the best kind of waiter - detail-oriented and very well versed with the menu/ingredients/potential for aversion concerns as well as making great recommendations, intuitive - in that he informed us of when happy hour was ending so that we could get our order in right before, took away any unused/dirty dishware or cutlery, informed - in that our apps, drinks, and entrees came out in a timely manner and were served to us simultaneously, and genuinely kind and respectful, using formal titles when speaking to us, repeating our order back to us verbatim (because active listeners and pros don't gotta write it down!), and treating us as though we were dining in a Michelin restaurant. When thanking him for our amazing experience, he humbly answered that he simply enjoys treating those as he would want to be treated. Ramiro, your dedication to your work, pride you have in your ethic and self, and generally friendly manner will take you far in life. Give this man a raise! Thank you for being you, Ramiro!
Wabi House is one of my favorite go to spots in Ft. Worth. From the aesthetic, food and staff I love everything here. Things I like to order here are the Tonkotsu Ramen (request the extra egg - thank me later), yaki tori is also a must. Every time I go I see Josh. He's one of the servers. Superrr sweet and brings the vibes IYKYK, he's always on point with the recommendations. Definitely makes me and my friends feel welcomed. Cant wait to go back.

Great atmosphere, great prices. Kristen took care of us and our kids.
The Brussels and beats app 🔥 along with all the ramen
Come to try this place for the first time but waited 10-15 minutes and no one ever came by to see if we had been helped. Worst service I've ever had.
I really enjoyed the dry garlic ramen. I did order miso broth on the side since it did not come with any soup. Super tasty along with my margarita 🙃 I would for sure come back due to service and atmosphere being awesome as well !
Best ramen in Fort Worth
Christian (The new server who started Monday) and Josh (blonde hair) both were great! Everyone was friendly but both of them were attentive, friendly, made good conversation and checked in. The food was amazingly good! The drinks were a little weak but also really good! The vibes were nice, I will be returning!
