The food was spot on with flavor! Love the signature ramen with a kick! Service was friendly and lots of elbow room!

Gyudon at Waku Waku 3/2025
Vivian C.

It was my first visit to WakuWaku, and I enjoyed it. My friend noticed that the prices had jumped since his last visit a few months ago, but it seemed to fit the new post pandemic pricing for an affordable meal of about $20 after tax and tip. We did however split two appetizers between the three of us. The soft balls of Takoyaki, and Fried Cauliflower which seemed actually healthy given the lightness of the fry job. My friend's Gyudon looked very good. But I opted for the Classic Miso Ramen which came with both pork chasu and braised chicken (two slices apiece) in a chicken based broth, and happily finished it, minus some broth. Though I found that I preferred the pork chasu over the tender white meat chicken. Bathrooms are one person at a time. Credit cards are accepted. Service was pleasant.

I love Waku Waku, been here twice! My favorite dish and I think it's an absolute must get is there squid. It's perfectly fried and it's nice and big. The signature ramen was okay. The ramen that I tried the second time was the cheesy ramen that was actually really good. I was surprised of the flavor and thought it was more of a dry noodle but it had lots of soup!

Takoyaki and Samurai Duck Baos
Drashti T.

Wakuwaku located in Quincy and was my first time visiting. Parking is a bit tricky to find but there is street parking. For appetizers we got the samurai duck baos. The meat itself was a bit dry but the sweet sauce on top was nice. I just wished it was more juicy. This was my first time having takoyaki and it was delicious. It was very crispy with the inside melting in your mouth. It was very gooey and the sauces on top added great texture to the dish. For the main, we got the pork ramen. The broth itself was very flavorful. The pork katsu was very crispy and couldn't stop eating. The service itself was speedy. The restaurant itself very pretty. They had a pretty flower chandelier and art over the walls. Overall, I would love to come again

Waku Waku is conveniently located next to Kung Fu Tea. It's a small little spot and we got seated at the bar tables near the window. We ordered their steamed pork dumplings as an appetizer to start. I was surprised to see a steamed option since most places only have fried dumplings. The signature ramen and miso tonkotsu ramen were both delicious and packed with flavor. The portions were perfectly sized so you don't feel too full afterwards. Our waitress was kind and kept checking in on us. We'll definitely come back for more ramen in the future.

The food was really good and the staff were really nice. They had good pop music playing.

Squid Karrage
Wilson L.

The best ramen spot in Quincy. We've been in desperate need for good ramen in Quincy for years and I think Waku Waku fills that void. I've got chance to try the squid Karrage, chicken Karrage, miso ramen, truffle shoyu, and miso Tonkontsu. All were very delicious. Soup was always hot and flavorful. Noodles were cooked perfectly, the chicken/pork chashu is tender and tasty. I would definitely recommend miso and the miso Tonkontsu but would probably skip the truffle shoyu unless you love truffle.

Tonkotsu Ramen
John H.

Finally a decent ramen shop in Quincy! Waku Waku is great for a fun date night with a few different takes on ramen in a lively atmosphere full of fun art and house music. Tonkotsu ramen had the classic fatty pork broth that wasn't too oily or salty. The noodles were nice and chewy. I also tried the classic miso which was really tasty and had a lot of flavor packed into the broth but warning it is on the salty side. The miso kimchi ramen is a bit spicy as well but kimchi lovers will appreciate it. The portion sizes are okay but if you are a big eater, I'd get an extra order of noodles for $3 to add to your leftover broth. For $16 I think you get your money's worth but it would be nice if it came with more pork. Oh we didn't get a drink menu even though the place was advertised as a ramen and sake spot. Maybe they haven't gotten their liquor license yet since they opened a few weeks ago? Welcome to Quincy, Waku Waku!

Miso Tonkotsu Ramen
Suki Z.

An addition to the Kung Fu Tea in Wollaston is a very retro style ramen store. There is about 3 circular booths, one long table, and booth seating facing the windows. I went with my sister on a Thursday night and all the circular booths were taken so we decided to sit on the long table. Service was really nice-- I asked the server which bowls they recommended and definitely sounded like their spicy ramens were their greatest sellers. The Kaen ramen caught my interest but I played it safe and ordered the miso tonkotsu ramen. It comes with a nice and juicy egg-- well marinated and seasoned- 3 chashu slices, 2 bamboo shoots, green onions, bean sprouts, and scallions. Overall the taste was great. I had a very pleasant first time experience there and found the food very filling. Ended up taking the broth to go because miso tonkotsu is too good of a broth to pass up!

Truffle beef fried bao
Yvonne B.

So, this server Lauren was BOMB. She lit up our experience from jump. But then, it kept going with other cool e.ployees, including a guy with cool shoes. The vines were on point because of the people. Loved them. And props to Lauren who should get employee of the week and get an $85 gift card. Then, there was the food and drinks. Did you know their house sake is made by the first woman sake master in the US (or something like that)? I also enjoyed the shrimp dumpling trio and the fried truffle beef bao. The bao was a little greasy, if I'm honest, but I didn't have much of the appetite and was there for the sake. And my friends both got ramen and ate that stuff up! We had such good times. Highly recommend how chill it was.

Tonkotsu Ramen
Hali W.

My boyfriend and I stopped in at this place since we were enjoying numerous ramen shops in the area - it was our first time to Chinatown. Food - we ordered a tonkotsu ramen which is our usual that we try when we first go to a ramen place we've never been to. I will say this was a decent tonkotsu ramen, the pork was seasoned (did not melt in your mouth though), the egg was good, and the bamboo shoots were nice and soft. The noodles were perfectly done I will say, probably the highlight of this ramen. The broth we rated it as a 3.5/5 almost 4 but it was missing something since we have had better tonkotsu ramen in other areas! Service - fast, didn't have much interactions with the waitress though. Just gave us water and our food and that was about it for interacting. Ambiance - pretty neat place, very small though. The decorations make you feel like you're in a cyber-themed world in Japan! Overall decent place with decent ramen if you're never tried ramen before. I'd recommend it until I found something better in the area though!

Classic ramen with an added egg.
Kate N.

The decor was beautiful, service was great, and the food was outstanding! Highly recommend.

Signature Ramen
Alice N.

Can't rave enough about the service and the people here. Really made our night and the experience alone makes me want to come back! They were able to take us in 45 mins before closing (we were a big group looking for a spot that was still open to eat on a weekday in Quincy). I've eaten at Waku Waku at the other location, but I didn't enjoy it as much and it might be to the type of ramen I got before. This time I tried the Signature Ramen which comes with a pork katsu on the side (egg not included, sadly) and I really enjoyed this!! Has a nice little kick, I like the crunchy side of the pork katsu with the broth - I'd probably get this again if I come back. As for the staff, we were a group of 9 but one person wasn't eating. They came out to ask that they might have missed an order as the chef counted only 8 ramens (but there were 9 of us). We ensured only 8 people were eating but really appreciated checking on us and noticing that! Overall, super accommodating and welcoming as I know seeing a big group come in close to the closing times can be tough. The ambiance here is dark with ambient lighting, but it's not too dark where I can't see my food (if you see my photo, I can still take a good photo without flash) It also has a good amount of seating for the size of the space!

Toppu is an underrated hidden gem in Quincy!…read more Recently opened and located in South Quincy, Toppu serves Japanese cuisine, ranging from ramen to sushi to omurice. First, we got the vegetable tempura to share. It was light and crispy, pairing well with the sauce they provided. My personal favorite was the sweet potato tempura! They also offer a terrific sushi combo special; 2 rolls for $15 or 3 rolls for $19.45. We got two 3-roll sushi combos and I personally opted for the Spicy Salmon, Spicy Scallop, and Shrimp Tempura rolls. My favorite roll was the Spicy Scallop roll, but all the rolls were amazing! The Spicy Scallop Roll is a MUST TRY here. The fish is so fresh and they give a lot of fish (perfect fish-to-rice ratio!). I love how the tempura was crispy in the sushi rolls as well. Overall, the quality of the food is solid too, and it's a great place to get some tasty sushi. There are probably about 8 tables max at Toppu, so it's a great spot to grab some takeout. They have their own parking lot and there's tons of street parking right in front of the restaurant. However, I definitely recommend dining in though! The restaurant is clean and cute. I love how they have Toppu dishes and glasses. The staff is also very friendly. One thing to note though (which is the only reason I'm giving Toppu 4 stars instead of 5) is that the service can be a bit slow when they're busy. It took some time to get our food and the bill. There was only one waiter working as well. I'm sure once they've been open for a while they'll figure it out! I recommend giving Toppu a try! I'll be back soon to try their ramen and omurice.

Ordered takeout today. I was surprised how thin the sushi rice was put on the maki. Hope that it…read morewill improve in the next order.

The inside of Hakata Ramen is tight and can get pretty busy, but the vibe is what you'd expect for the area. The staff is honestly the best part. They are welcoming and move fast. I have been here a handful of times and it is a reliable choice for comfort food. They have these daily bento specials with ramen, sushi, and appetizers that look like a great deal. I tried, but they are intriguing. The main downside is the broth quality compared to the price. There are definitely more authentic ramen spots in the city if you are a purist. You can tell the base is not a homemade tonkatsu broth, which is a bit of a letdown for what they charge. Still, it is a decent spot for a quick meal. * Tempura Ramen (7/10): The tempura is a total highlight because it is served on a separate plate to keep it from getting soggy, though the broth itself is fairly standard.

And her impact was proven while we were there last night because some kids asked their parents to come in as they were walking by just to say hello to her. Every time I come, she recalls exactly how I like my hot pot sauce and which unique beverage each of our family member will likely order. Fairy is an intimate setting. Not too loud. There's a strong following from the neighborhood. Their AYCE hot pot offering is reasonable in price and choices up against all the other hotpot choices in Quincy. Their ala carte menu is just as satisfying. We also enjoy a frozen smoothy to go with dinner. My favorite is banana avocado or red bean. There are ample free apps that come with AYCE hotpot. My favorites are fried oysters and coconut shrimp. From there is ordering from a huge variety of meats, vegetables, and other hot pot fixings. Love their hand made dragon fruit shrimp paste and giant clams. But for my family, it is really always all about the choice beef - fat cow. I never leave hungry. There's nothing like the taste of the unique broth resulting in all of the foods you cook in the hotpot. I love to enjoy a bowl of the broth at the end of the meal. The kids enjoy the included ice cream.

Other favorites I recommend from the menu are the fried oysters and the green tea smoothie. Wish I could recommend more since it's such a big menu but I keep sticking to the same things so I can't personally speak to them. Others have tried the rice dishes etc and liked them a lot as well so I really don't think you can go wrong.

They have remodeled the…read morerestaurant since the last time I've visited... such a nice upgrade ;) Keep in mind, Chili Square is CASH ONLY so make sure to have some cash on you. There used to be a Bank of America ATM right across the street but it seems like it is no longer there unfortunately. Their biang biang noodles are fire & you really can't go wrong with getting the dry version or with soup. Honestly, this has been my favorite spot to get noodles lately. Last week, I literally went here almosevery day for dinner (I wish I was kidding). My favorite dishes to order from here include: - Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodles - Cumin Lamb Biang Biang Noodle Soup - Fish Filet with Chili Pepper - Chongching Chicken with Chili Pepper Visually, the dishes don't look like generous portions but actually they're quite filling! The cumin lamb Biang Biang noodles (w/o soup) is generally my go-to because it's SO FLAVORFUL. The lamb is cooked well & doesn't taste gamey at all. It's a tad spicy but won't kill you hahaha. They do have another version of this dish that comes with soup & it's a great option if you're feeling a soup. This also has amazing flavor but of course, not as flavorful as the dry version since it comes with soup. I highly recommend getting the fish filet with chili peppers if you love a fried fish! They make it incredibly crispy without making the fish taste dry. This is perfect with a bowl of rice. Now, the chongching chicken wings have to be the spiciest dish out of my favorites. This is a great snack! I usually get this to share if I'm eating here with a group or if I'm getting takeout, I'll get this as an entree.The pieces are crispy, spicy, and juicy. What more can you ask for? SO GOOD. For dine in, it is Cash Only. If you do takeout and don't have cash/want to go grab cash, what I like to do is order through UberEats. This way, it charges credit card & you can just go in to pick it up or choose for delivery.

Chili Square is a small Chinese restaurant specializing in hand-pulled noodles and Northwestern…read moreChinese cuisine. We walked into a simple, modest space with only a handful of tables, the kind of casual neighborhood eatery where the focus is clearly on the food rather than the surroundings. The dining room was tight and functional, with a no-frills setup that kept the attention on the noodles coming out of the kitchen. The energy was practical and unpretentious, and the steady flow of customers reflected its reputation as a destination for anyone craving authentic Chinese noodle dishes. The hand-pulled noodles are the highlight of the menu. We ordered a few different styles and found the Biang Biang noodles standing out with their wide, chewy texture that held up well to the bold sauces. The Lanzhou beef noodle soup offered a lighter broth paired with freshly stretched noodles that had a clean, satisfying bite. The spicy lamb hand-pulled noodles were another popular choice, combining tender meat with a flavorful sauce that had a satisfying amount of heat. Beyond the noodles, the cumin lamb burger, steamed dumplings, and cold skin noodles provided plenty of variety if we wanted to explore more of the menu. Each dish arrived hot and well assembled, and the portions were generous for the price. The restaurant operates with a very straightforward, self-service style. Seating is limited, and the dining room fills up quickly during busy hours, so waiting for a table is common. The service is fairly minimal, with the emphasis placed on getting the food out rather than providing a full-service dining experience. Water and utensils are self-serve, and the overall experience feels more like grabbing an authentic meal than dining somewhere with polished hospitality. It is also worth knowing that Chili Square is cash only, so planning ahead will save you from any surprises when it is time to pay. The staff moved through the room efficiently, and the noodles came out hot and freshly pulled. Overall, Chili Square is a great choice if you are looking for authentic hand-pulled noodles and bold Northwestern Chinese flavors. The small space, cash-only policy, and simple service require a little flexibility, but the freshly made noodles and generous portions make it well worth the visit if the food is your main priority.
