First time we have been, and we will definitely be going back. The staff was super nice and answered all the questions we had. We started out with the Spicy Korean Fried Chicken Bao, which were decent. The Bao was a little stiffer than expected, but the flavor was good. The little bit of scallion really added to the flavor. We also had the Crispy Brussel Sprouts. Those were awesome! Perfect flavor and texture. Who knew Brussels could be so good?! We then had the Miso Tonkotsu Ramen, The Miso Kimchi Ramen, the Tonkotsu Ramen, and the Shio Garlic Ramen. The Miso Tonkotsu Ramen had the best flavor hands down. A really nice salty and umami flavor that was perfect. The Tonkotsu & Kimchi were both quite good too. The Shio Garlic Ramen was a little lacking. The broth reminded us of a stock chicken Pho broth. It was decent, but nowhere near as good as the others. We also loved the location and the whimsical style of the interior. It had its own design style, and wasn't trying to be another me-too location. We look forward to our next visit soon! read more

Came here again for the third time with my wife over the last 5 months. Every single time is pristine experience. Food, vibe, service, everything. Young servers who are always attentive, never gets any orders wrong. Chefs in the back big props, food comes out delicious every time, consistent taste as well. My favorite order is the Gyudon (huge portion), and then the 5 piece spicy wings, sauce on the side. The wings are gigantic and flavorful. Overall awesome portions and worth the money you pay for. (Please keep the portion big :)) read more

Quiet little ramen spot off of the heart of Quincy. Dangerous being attached to the Kung Fu Tea, since we know we will venture to it right after. This place was average for us- nothing stuck out but the food wasn't bad. I had the tonkotsu ramen and tried their baos. The ramen was alright, the ingredients were fresh but the broth wasn't very strong and tasted a little watered down. The baos were fried which was definitely a new taste, it was a bit too oily for us unfortunately. The waitress, however, was so amazing!! She was great to chat with and loved hearing our feedback about the food and things to do around Boston. She made the experience much more enjoyable. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Food was delicious! Service was excellent. Everything was great and we did not feel overly full afterwards. Seasoned perfectly.

always yummy!!! I have been to wake waku three times and it is always good. Great service. The food comes out very fast

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 read more

Waku Waku Ramen Quincy - Vegetable Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

We had a wonderful experience at the Wollaston location from the moment we walked in to the moment we left.

Waitress was super nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was great. Great vibe - music, lighting, decor...

My partner and I got the squid karaage, samurai duck bao, signature ramen, and kaen ramen - TASTE: 5/5 - had no expectations coming in and were pleasantly surprised. The squid was well seasoned and the spicy mayo was actually spicy lol. The samurai duck bao was sweet and tasty, my signature ramen was comforting, and the kaen ramen was spicier than expected TEXTURE: 5/5 - fluffy bao, crisp karaage, tender noodles, and a side of crispy pork katsu w the signature ramen PRICE: 4/5 - wasn't as expensive as we expected. Subtotal was $53 SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - filled us up for dinner SERVICE: 5/5 - this WakuWaku location in Quincy just opened earlier this week, so wasn't sure if it'd be super busy. Walked in at 5:45pm on a Friday and only one other table was seated thankfully. Every employee was attentive and helpful ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - the former TKK Fried Chicken had shared the space w Kung Fu Tea. Now, a wall separates KFT and Wakuwaku, and the space is hip and bright. Definitely a cool transformation, and the fun playlist seemed like a signature touch by the Wong Guys Group PARKING: 4/5 - got a free street spot on Beale St around the corner read more

Waku Waku Ramen Quincy - Squid karaage - Ramen Near Me - Quincy, Massachusetts

I started coming here in early January, and watched as this place became more and more busy. However the service here has never had any issues. Food always comes out quickly, and always tastes amazing. Their menu has also been growing with new appetizers being added including cheesy chashu tater tots, bao buns, and really really good crispy chicken. They also have a lot of ramen options for only $16 or $18 for some special ones. Portion sizes are really good for the price (idk why some other reviews say portions are small, but they're very wrong.) The restaurant is also a really nice place to eat. The ambiance is nice with funky neon lights, big windows, and background music. Be sure to check this place out next time you're craving ramen. read more

I stopped by with my mom for a quick lunch before heading back home. I tried the one in Chinatown; they added too much MSG to the broth, so I am not a big fan of it. I decided to give this location a try since it is less than 10 minutes away from my house. The place wasn't busy on Saturday during lunchtime but probably the HMart food court opened. We ordered the signature and tonkatsu ramen; the portion was definitely smaller. The broth was a little oily, but the ramen was just right. It's nothing special, but I will probably return if I am craving ramen or if they add more unique items like other Waku Waku locations. read more

Food and service was awesome. Ramen and wings were delicious. Will definitely be back.

I have been to the Chinatown location a few years back. I remember it wasn't memorable but this time, it was a whole new experience. They probably figure their stuff out. The manger and waitress was very help and friendly to everyone. They were very attentive and check on everyone during their meals. We got Miso Kim Chi and Miso Coconut Curry ramen. For Appetizers, we went with Shrimp Tempura and Squid Karaage Bao, Fried Truffle Beef ,Samurai Duck ,Miso COD ,Pork Katsu and Spicy Chashu . Everything was paired with Sake. The ramen was Rich, hearty and flavorful. The Baos were soft and warm. Our favorite was the fried Truffle Beef Baos. The Squid Karaage was crispy and well seasoned. The Hana Awaka Peach Sparkling Sake, Kukai Mango Nigori, Ozeki Nigori Pineapple and Hakutsuru Sayuri Nigori were refreshing. Overall, we had a great meal. The service was great. Will definitely recommend to others read more

I really love this place. It's straightforward and delicious, love that they have sake with the soups too it's super underrated and I would definitely recommend pairing with any of their soups (especially the spicy ones). The spicy ramen is my favorite, so comforting. Excellent ramen too, not that I'm an expert in the ramen world but I know what tastes good. Shout out to Lauren at the Quincy location she was so cool and great as a server she recommended a great sake and encouraged me to up the spice level which brought the whole meal to a new level! My current new fav comfort food spot. read more

I wish I could give 3.5 stars. This place was good but nothing to rave about. The atmosphere is awesome for sure. Really cool, trendy vibes with the lighting and furniture pieces. Service was quick, and I always like when they have the option to pay your bill online. The food is really what I would give 3.5 stars for. The ramen was good but not the best I've had in the Boston area. The portion size was also kind of small in my opinion. I think this is a good option for a quick, maybe late-night dinner spot, but not sure I'd come back specifically for the ramen. read more
