WAYA Japanese Izakaya, Dallas TX

One of my favorite ramen places in Dallas! The portions are huge and the food is always delicious. Friendly service, too.

One of the BEST ramen spots in Dallas. The food was amazing, flavors were at an 11/10. Chefs were right in front of us and so sweet the whole time! The price for quality/quantity ratio is amazing. The best best best. Wow. Monday night had no wait, but I wouldn’t be surprised if other nights has quite a wait with how amazing this place is.

We ordered the Spicy Edamame, Premium Spicy Miso (yellow broth picture), and the Spicy Black Tonkotsu.

Hmmm.all the ramen, none of the hype. Kind of a hole in the wall in a strip mall. Great reviews are well deserved. This is really good ramen! Spicy tonkotsu is the bomb! Miso is good as well. Get the spicy edamame app.

Beer and sake. Great service. Great prices. Great food. No wait! I'm all in!

A really fun place to go on a date! There are so many ramen options it's crazy! And many more food options as well. I was really impressed. I had their salmon mayo onigiri. Spicy black tonkotsu, the teriyaki chicken curry, and the spicy edamame. All of it was delicious. The atmosphere was so much fun!

Quaint Japanese style seating, polite and informative service. The food was excellent. I can see why this restaurant has 4.8 stars.

We enjoyed the spicy edamame, pork miso onigiri, spicy tonkotsu shoyu and chicken shoyu.

I have tasted many different Ramen broths and their chicken shoyu and tonkotsu shoyu were amazing!

Service was fast and decor was great The chicken shoyu was a bit different than what I was expecting but overall very good, I loved the large amount of chicken they served with the base bowl and it made the price point worth it. The only thing that was a bit different than my tastes was the noodles, while in no way bad the noodles had an extremely slippery and glossy feeling as well as not as much bite to them as I would have liked. Overall very much worth coming and trying.

Went with a party of 6, it was definitely a small space but the atmosphere is great and gave you traditional vibes. The food though, WOW. What a light and savory broth. Best ramen I've had. We tried the veggie and pork gyoza, Dandan spicy ramen, tonkotsu shoyu, spicy tonkotsu, and spicy chicken tonkotsu. Perfect spiciness level, protein was tender, and the gyoza were delicious.

We placed an order of Spicy Premium Miso Ramen - it was delicious!
We also love how you can add extra veggies:)

Terrible service but good ramen. I've been to Japan a few times so I know the difference between a good and great ramen. I had high expectations walking in, based on reviews and I can say the ramen is pretty great for what you get in the US. But my issue is with the waiter that served us - 1) I wanted his opinion on what they would recommend and he had a very snob attitude, also validated by others in my party 2) when the ramen was served, I was quite surprised by the hard boiled egg being served and I asked if they had soft boiled egg - it's hard to imagine a great ramen without soft boiled egg for me. The guy started gaslighting me and started getting very defensive, which I thought wasn't necessary. So here's a 3 star for ya. Do better.

This place is amazing! My husband and I go regularly and we love how inviting and attentive the staff is every time. They truly care about their customers. My friend recommended this place and we have not stopped eating here since. They have a variety of ramen to try but my favorite is the tonkotsu ramen and my husband loves the spicy premium miso ramen. I cannot recommend this place enough. They get lines going out the door at times but the food is worth the wait.

Food was delicious! I got the veggy ramen and tried their Yuzu sherbet.
Will be back!

Bomb-diggy. Feels like you’re in Japan, including local Japanese newspapers. Food 10/10. Highly recommend.

3-stars but I think I may have ordered the wrong thing. I will be back to give this place another shot because they have some interesting items on the menu. I ordered the cheesy curry ramen which would be awesome if you're into Japanese yellow curry, but it's one of those things that I fell out of love with a long time ago.

Solid ramen spot! We got the spicy curry ramen, spicy double char siu black tonkotsu, and tonkotsu ramen. The spicy curry ramen was very flavorful; I wish it was more hot (temperature wise) since it was leaning closer to warm. The spicy double char siu black tonkotsu was very creamy and had a lot of flavor, probably the best one we got. The tonkatsu ramen was also a solid choice. I was thrown off by the spinach being more raw since it’s usually cooked. The restaurant is also very warm so eating hot ramen in the summer isn’t the most ideal, but overall, the food wasn’t bad.
