    Yakitori Platter
    Helga M.

    (This is the most fun review I have ever written and I have not even gone to Karaoke night yet.) This 5-star rating is largely due to the very crave-able food that the owner, Jason Wu, serves! I found his posts on a Facebook neighborhood group and made plans to go. Glad I did. This is a dive-y, low brow spot high on good food, good drinks, and friendly peeps. Amazing combinations. Jason so expertly "fuses" the best of Asian dishes together and comes up with items that other places would only dream of but not dare serve. This is not for the rigid when it comes to trying new things--especially with Asian food. Okay, let's talk scallion pizza crust pizza...am I right? You start not with the usual crust but with the complete food item that is scallion pancake, then top it with steak in sticky sauce and loads of melted cheese. This can go either way--really awful or really good. From a novice, it can be terrible. But here? Goodness, Y-U-M. I also had the wonton udon soup--their wonton is tender and meaty-delicious. I added fish tofu because I can. The Yakitori plate is a good gateway to the yummy Japanese skewered food. The sauce was not too sweet and I liked it. Several times, I regretted sharing my food with my husband (half kidding!). I wanted to order MORE items off the board and menu but that's just being greedy. We did share a bowl of Suffering Bastard--it was my first time to do a bowl drink as I don't like rum. This one has gin, brandy, pineapple juice...it was really good stuff. I am hooked. Go there hungry and review the photos prior so you can order without #FOMO. All looks and sounds good. Parking is ample. Their address is Coventry but really just past the West Warwick line. This is a low brow place with good folks, starting with the owner himself, Jason. No linens on table--in fact a lot are scratched. You go there for a good time and scrumptious food. If you like to sing, this place boasts of a popular Wednesday night Karaoke. It also has a small game room adjacent to the dining area. I saw a dartboard and a game machine. Not sure if there was Pinball but it looks like the kind of place that might. Just writing this is making me hungry again. I cannot wait to go back. I eyeball their online menu a lot. I am almost disappointed that they are closed on Sundays. Anyhoo, we really like the food in this place so if you believe an iota of what I say here, give it a try!

    Here's another long one for ya! Do you wanna try something absolutely out of this world? You need to go to JW's Pub in Coventry! When you walk in the place it's packed with awesome memorabilia from movies and anime. If you're a nerd like me, it'll sing to your soul. Jason greets you warmly and makes you feel right at home. When he hands you the menu and you see what's on the boards for specials your mind will be blown and your tastebuds will immediately light up! We started off with some incredible apps and then got the Crispy Beef Scallion Pancake Pizza and the Corned Beef Scallion Pancake Pizza (cuz ya know... it is St Pat's weekend! ) Holy shyte! Every bite is a flavorful crispy bite of paradise! Who needs traditional dough when you can have a crispy flavorful base of Asian awesome?! This puts traditional bar pizza on the back burner for sure. It's not small like a traditional scallion pancake. They make em and serve them bar pizza sized. The cheese is melty ooey gooey savoriness. They don't skimp with the toppings and the flavor combos are fantastic. I see people talking about the "flop" and I can assure you there is no "flop" here. It stands at FULL attention and delivers a flovorable bite every time. BONUS... grab yourself a fishbowl! So good and not overly sweet. EXTRA BONUS... if you're into karaoke he hosts karaoke nightly from 9 to close. Definitely a whole new pizza experience and worth the drive from Boston!

    Pineapple passion with club soda

    I've had this place on my list for a while and I was glad to find an excuse to come visit. The Asian Fusion with hometown pizza fare is such an interesting concept. The place has a dive bar feel with simple tables and chairs. The decor / ambiance leaves a little to be desired. But the food was good and so was the service. Our table ordered Pineapple Passion drinks (delicious), a few apps and a few entrees. The wings are really superb; dill pickle dry rub and the special sauce. Flavorful, crispy without being breaded, and a bit spicy. Would recommend. We also got the kimchi potstickers. They were good but not overly flavorful. We also had udon noodle soup in the kimchi broth. Good but not great. The broth was fantastic but it didn't have many noodles or any other ingredients. Our party also had a burger (one person loved it, the other didn't at all) and a scallion pancake pizza, which I had a bite of, and it was super yummy. I'd go back for the wings and to try a few more dishes. I did not love the single use utensils at all. For the price it's a great spot.

    I've been to a couple of Friday night karaoke nights at JWu's and it is a loud fun place to be! (Especially if u love music...) There are a lot of great food and drink options (I especially loved the Yakitori Platter) and the wait staff and bartenders are cool, chill and attentive. Definitely a fun night out with the wife. ‍

    Ramen was very good
    Kyel R.

    They have an extremely diverse menu. I ordered the pastrami sandwich and ramen with kimchi broth and they were both crazy good. I spotted this place while driving them found them on yelp without realizing it until i got there. I'm definitely coming back. The diversity of the menu is extreme.

Be warned, it's on the more expensive side for dining and may be a coin toss for "is it worth it" for those that enjoy a night out but also looking for value. Food was a mixed bag for us.... Starting with the smashburger was genuinely disappointing as the burger itself was dry and advertised as a "French onion" smashburger that failed to deliver any of the rich, savory flavor we expected with a name like "French onion smashburger". The hot honey Mac and cheese was very good and flavorful... The hot being more of a vinegary heat than I expected but the cream sauce was rich. Speaking of value earlier.... Smashburger was $20 and the Mac and cheese was $28. Entrees were $10-15 more it seemed but previous reviews all spoke highly of the entrees and would want to try them if we visit again. The overall service experience was disappointing for us. Not for the demeanor of the staff but everything else... We had a decent size group of 8 (5 adults and 3 kids) and was fortunate to have a dining room to help the kids burn some energy while not bothering the other diners. However, from ordering to entrees to arrive was 45 very hungry minutes. It also took 20+ mins just to get drinks. Once the food arrived, they also were short two of the kids meals which was thankfully corrected quick. We then were somewhat "gently" being asked to wrap things up by 3 staff members in 10 mins making the rounds to clear plates and any to go containers. We all understand the business in the food industry and turning tables, and trust me, after an hour from arriving to food on the table we wanted to get home for bed time. However, really sours the experience and would not advocate going here with large groups.... Between the kitchen and staff I can't say you'd have a guaranteed good time.

I think the longest wait was about 20 minutes when we were waiting to get our initial drink order taken, but everything after that was fairly quick. For drinks I got a thin mint martini because they were out of the chocolate reuge martini I wanted. It was so yummy and came with 3 thin mint cookies. My mom got a pistachio martini and the Jefferson Tea. Both were pretty good but I wouldn't order again. My dad got Dead Mans Redemption which is good if you like bourbon. It comes with a wood topper and they light it on fire, let smoke fill in the drink, and then take the wood off. The drink then has notes of smoked wood in it which is cool. For food we got the crispy spring rolls and pepperoni flatbread. Both were so good!!!! It was absolutely worth the wait!!! I could eat the whole flatbread myself it was that good and I can't wait to go back and get another one. The crowd is definitely much older, not a lot of younger people around. It's a good date night for married couples. Overall it was a nice place and I would come back.

Now I had said it was my birthday when I went so Max came over with my gelato (love gelato) and she starting singing to me- and then her coworker did and eventually everyone in the restaurant was chiming it. It was such a cute and lovely atmosphere- I highly recommend for any occasion. I will be back. Btw I went to the Providence location and I didn't enjoy their lobster ravioli at all so I'll only come here. :)

For the competition, they were offering three of their signature sauces I went with the 716 Mulberry. Their menu describes it as a "Buffalo Base Sauce. It's a little twist on our buffalo medium". The wings came out hot and were so crispy. No breading, just a crisp wing with the perfect amount of sauce. The spice was medium in my estimation BUT I know a lot of people will find them a bit on the hot side. The base was definitely buffalo as advertised with added spices that really switched up in a nice way. They were on the salty side, but not in a bad way. I very much enjoyed their take on a traditional buffalo sauce. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. We went on a Sunday during football season so they had four screens playing the days games. Most people seem to be coming in for takeout which makes sense but they were plenty of tables for beauty said that if you plan to eat at the restaurant. They had both fountain and cooler, soft drinks and a beer selection on tap. They offer counter service and our cashier was very friendly and answered all my questions about the menu choices. They do charge about $17 for 10 wings which I find a bit on the pricey side however they are a good quality so if you're gonna splurge, you won't be disappointed in the wing
