Wanpaku - Brooklyn
Wanpaku
Description
Hidden in Greenpoint, Wanpaku is a cozy Japanese spot serving standout ramen, buns, gyoza, karaage and rich curries. Appetizers (pumpkin, octopus, okonomiyaki) shine, cocktails and a yuzu soda complement the menu, and a tucked-away bar adds intrigue. Service is warm and speedy, with efficient takeout and delivery. Small, narrow dining makes it intimate but limits seating; a drafty secondary door and occasional uneven dishes are minor quibbles. Overall, an affordable, flavor-forward neighborhood gem worth repeat visits.

I highly recommend the cold noodles for summer, especially for those who enjoy a delicious bowl of ramen but find it hard to handle a heavy bowl of hot soup in the warmer months. The Tsukemen noodles are a bit saltier than we prefer, but they might be a great option if you like saltier broths. It's also a family-friendly place, suitable for groups of up to six people.
A good Japanese restaurant in the area. We had to wait a little when we arrived, but it wasn't too long. The pumpkin appetizer was fantastic, and the main dishes were impressive too. I will definitely return for lunch! Food: 5/5
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant with its delicious Japanese cuisine! The beef curry was incredibly rich and packed with flavor, although I would have liked a bit more meat. The ramen was also excellent; we tried the basic flavor, and it was perfect. For an appetizer, the okonomiyaki was tasty as well! I noticed there's a hidden bar in the back that looked pretty cool.

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. Price per person: $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
