We started with the spicy edamame and the karaage (Japanese fried chicken with marinated watermelon and spicy aioli). Everything was delicious. The edamame was a bit messier than we expected. Unlike some other places that lightly season theirs, this one came with a generous amount of sauce on the plate. Honestly, we didn’t mind at all. The sauce was so good that we dipped some of our chicken into it.
The karaage was crisp, fresh-tasting, and a great value for the price. The marinated watermelon on the side was such a refreshing contrast to the fried chicken and had a nice kick to it.
For our mains, we both ordered the spicy miso ramen and added chashu (pork belly). It was flavorful without being overwhelmingly spicy. The broth had depth, the pork belly was tender, and we left feeling satisfied.
Our server was fantastic and I wish we would have gotten his name. He was patient with us as first-timers, took the time to explain the menu, and provided fast, kind service throughout the meal. Overall, a great experience from start to finish.
They have happy hour Monday to Sunday (yes, every day) from 3pm to 7pm.
The only downside is the wait. It can get pretty long during peak times, so definitely plan ahead if you’re coming with a group or on a tight schedule.
I also wish they offered a loyalty program. I find myself coming here often enough that saving a little money or earning rewards would be a great perk.
Overall, fantastic food that’s worth the wait—just be prepared, and maybe bring a little extra patience!
The service was good. The staff was friendly and the time it took to order and get our food out was very fast, even when we were located outside of the main restaurant. The setting, again, was very nice and having a ramen spot that could finally accommodate to having a dog was a huge plus. They have a built out bar indoors which we didn’t get drinks from but wanted to note in case anyone likes to drink more than just broth.
As for the food, it was lacking in some key spots. We ordered the tonkotsu and shoyu ramens and the overall flavor of both wasn’t strong. Specifically on the tonkotsu side, the broth tasted not far off from that of one you could get in a packet to cook at home. In both bowls the chasu was tough and overcooked, which is a big swing and a miss as it’s our favorite topping. The noodles were very good though with a nice chewy texture. We also ordered the chicken karaage which was a mixed bag as the flavor was good but the breading was very crumby and too oily.
Our biggest takeaway from Wabi House was that it is an incredibly convenient and artistic spot that may not have the best food but is a bit of a game changer for those who like to bring dogs out with them. If you’re looking for good ramen, maybe skip this place, but if you’re looking for a ramen place to eat with man’s best friend with you then this is the spot.
Our server Alex was fast, friendly, and overall excellent. I strongly recommend requesting them during your visit.
The takoyaki had a perfectly crispy exterior. The karaage was on par with the other locations. The shoyu came out in less then 5 minutes and was one of better broths I’ve tried.
My one complaint is the espresso martini was made with Kahlua instead of Mister black. This is entirely personal preference and I just don’t like creamy drinks.
Can’t wait to go back!
