Reviews - Warude

Mexican, Japanese, Coffee

Reviews summary

A bustling Brooklyn Asian-fusion eatery blends Japanese and Latin influences into colorful tacos, curry bowls, miso soup, matcha and inventive small plates. Loyal locals praise the chicken mole breakfast taco, shrimp curry, gyoza and friendly, quick service in a hip, compact space with indoor/outdoor seating. Prices feel reasonable and the vibe is great for casual lunches or people-watching. Expect playful, well-crafted flavors — but note some reports of inconsistent takeout: dry proteins, bland shells or stale chips on delivery.

Went here for an impromptu lunch with a friend. Was planning to get some bites but ended up eating meals because we were super hungry. I got the Shrimp Curry which was great with its consistency, flavor-wise, and texture yet it has no super strong tastewhich was a good point at least for me. My friend got the Crispy Fried Chicken Taco and Vegetable Gyoza. I did try one of thegyozas and loved the sauce and the chili sauce (we're from Indonesia so we've been missing this kind of super spicy sauce! . Theplace was cute and compact, we got an outdoor seat without waiting even for a minute. The staffs were friendly and helpful !!Recommended to try a hip place around Brooklyn.

Not really understanding the great reviews, but maybe they just aren?t good for takeout. I got delivery and I thought since I was close it would be fine but the taco was nasty. Pretty sure the pineapple in the salmon taco was canned did not taste freshat all idk. The cabbage slaw was good but the only enjoyable thing. They tried to pack the taco so that the juice didn?t leakonto the shell which i appreciate but I just didn?t enjoy the shell. Just tasted like nothing (salt???? Plz) and better texturecan be achieved with store bought corn tortillas. The salmon was also so dry and unseasoned. A fusion place??? With noseasoning!?? Why. The nachos were?... Idk if they were old chips but I also got the tortilla soup and those tortilla strips,which i?m assuming came from the same dough, were much brighter in color and crispier and delicious! The nacho chips were stale,chewy, cardboardy. The toppings were sad. Like just put it on the side if this is what we?re doing. The sour cream didn?t evenmake the journey. There was a very thin covering of toppings and quite a few layers of chips. Just didn?t make sense to me and Idid not enjoy. But best for last, the tortilla soup! Very good minus the chicken, sadly another dry protein. A little sad thebest thing is the soup because I almost didn?t get it and I would?ve had nothing to eat.

An interesting fusion kitchen, a mix of Mexican, Japanese, Indian... I love all these cuisines so good news for me. We ordered food for pick-up and it in fact was ready for when it was promised. Everything is nicely packed mostly in compostable boxes. All dishes tasted very good (the taco wasn?t the best I?ve ever had but it was decent) and the portions are generous. Highly recommended.

I strongly recommend this restaurant! The ramen was fantastic, and the cod tacos were wonderful too. They even offered some complimentary green tea packets! I will definitely be returning!

This is a fantastic Japanese restaurant with a unique flair! I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the chic seating area, and the amazing flavors of the dishes. I can't wait to return! The prices are reasonable, and the portion sizes are quite generous!

I've been visiting this place since it first opened, and it's one of my favorite local spots to grab lunch while people-watching. I absolutely love their tacos, and their bowls and Japanese curry are incredibly delicious as well!

I was quite surprised with how delicious the food was. From the look outside of the restaurant, I was not sure what to expect but once went inside, the place was fun and hip. I liked the Japanese curry rice bowl a lot. The tacos looked colorful and interesting. Next time, I’ll try more tacos for sure. Definitely give this place a try!

The chicken mole breakfast taco is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I used to live in the neighborhood and get it all the time! I live in MA now and when I was in town this weekend I went out of my way to get to Warude to get the taco. Absolutely amazing. Be sure to put some of the green and red sauces on it too. Thank you Warude! ??

Absolutely incredible! Tacos and rice bowls together? It's truly the best food combination ever. The outdoor seating area is fantastic. The chicken teriyaki was the best I've ever tasted—not soggy or overly sweet, but perfectly cooked, and they use real chicken instead of low-quality cuts. The fish tacos were equally amazing. I will definitely be coming back regularly—I'm based in Manhattan and will be making frequent trips!

Incredible, quick food. Ramen is only served during the winter so I went with one of their bowls chicken teryaki, scrambled egg, brown rice. The string hanging is from the scrambled eggs, not hair! Immense amount of flavor and the miso soup was incredible. Exactly what I was looking for on a cold and rainy day in Brooklyn. You won’t be disappointed.

Super delicious food — I got the cod curry bowl. Extremely filling for lunch and a great price. Hot and fresh. Lovely outdoor seating.

I love this place so much. I never expected to love an asian fusion place but this has become one of my go-tos. They do fusion right! The vibes are always so good in the shop and their delivery is also super quick. The shrimp curry is amazing and it’s amazing to be able to get natto in bed stuy!

Ordered fried tofu and what arrived was the blandest, soggiest tofu sitting in some kind of questionable gelatinous sauce. Way over priced to be inedible. Update: Based on the restaurant’s response to my review and the fact that I was probably just a cranky hangry mess last night I’m updating my review. Still wasn’t particularly satisfied with my food but they go above and beyond customer service wise. I’m sure the food is delicious dine in…take out orders are always tricky. Thanks warude for resolving this with me. Wishing you the very best!
