" This was my first time at Wakai, and it exceeded all my expectations! I loved the smoked duck ramen; it was smoky and rich without being overwhelming. The dessert options looked tempting too. I particularly enjoyed the decor — it made for a chic dining atmosphere. Can't wait to return and try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wakai has reached my list of top restaurants! The food was expertly crafted, with every bite of the ramen bursting with flavor. Friendly staff and a warm atmosphere rounded out my experience.

" Finally got to try Wakai after hearing so much about it! The place was casually stylish and the staff very nice. I dined on the beef bone marrow ramen, which was rich and satisfying. If you're looking for a new favorite ramen spot, I highly recommend Wakai; you won't be disappointed! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're a ramen fan, you must try Wakai! I visited with friends, and we sampled the various dishes on the menu. The bone marrow ramen was sumptuous and filling. Even the salads were fresh and delicious! It was a bit pricier than typical ramen spots, but the quality of ingredients justified the cost. Definitely a spot to revisit for special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wakai is the best ramen place I have found in NJ! The flavors reflect true Japanese cooking. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen, which had a depth of flavor I rarely find elsewhere. The service was fast and efficient, and I felt welcomed throughout my visit. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by! " (*Curated Review*)
