" WAYA is an absolute treat! The spicy ramen hits the spot. I went for the fiery option and it was spot on. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a date night. Service was friendly, even with the place filled up. A short wait for a table, but that’s part of the experience. Don’t skip out on this amazing spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance was delightful, strongly resonating the authentic izakaya style I miss from Japan. I indulged in the dandan ramen, and wow, it was spicy but so incredibly flavorful! The service staff were pleasant and really engaged with us. Came in during peak hours and luckily found a spot. I’ll be dreaming of that dandan ramen until the next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" WAYA has a fantastic vibe and delicious food! The spicy curry ramen was unique and tasty. The gyoza were also very good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere lacked some space for bigger groups, but it still felt intimate. Service was good, but occasionally a bit slow when it was crowded. I’d still recommend it for authentic ramen lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here with a group, and while the service was a bit slow due to the crowd, it was all worth it in the end. My tonkotsu ramen was packed with flavor—I couldn’t get over how rich the broth tasted! The gyoza were also great, crispy and filled with goodness. Ambiance was lovely, reminding me of my trip to Japan. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting WAYA and I was not disappointed! The dedication to authenticity is evident in the food. The tonkotsu ramen was filled with flavor, and the portion was generous. My only nitpick would be the long wait, but the experience was overall worth it. I will definitely return to explore more options on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited WAYA with high expectations after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The spicy dandan ramen was flavorful, and the gyoza were perfectly crispy. I loved that I could see the chefs making the food right in front of me. The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, making it a perfect dinner spot. Only downside was we had to wait a bit for a table, but it was worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the small, intimate setting! It really feels like you’re in Japan as soon as you step in. The spicy garlic tonkotsu ramen was a standout dish for me—so rich and satisfying! I tried the wagyu sushi, and it was melt-in-your-mouth good. Everything felt freshly prepared, and the service was prompt and friendly. I will definitely be returning to try more items!
