" The food at WAU is undeniably good! I enjoyed every dish we ordered, particularly the savory donuts and the chicken rendang. However, I did find the atmosphere a bit noisy which made conversation difficult. Despite that, the flavors and service made it a spot worth returning to! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a frequent diner of Southeast Asian cuisine, I can confidently say that WAU has delivered authentic flavors that truly resonate with the cuisine! The atmosphere is lovely, and the menu is extensive. My only critique is about the wait during peak hours, but the food is worth it. I’d recommend it to anyone craving authentic dishes!
