Southeast Asian
WAU serves traditional South-east Asian dishes that are meant to highlight the local flavors and cultures of Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. The menu is inspired by some of our favorite dishes using a variety of local ingredients. We have a full bar with a selection of wines and house-crafted cocktails.

Guests are encouraged to order and dine "family style" in order to enjoy the diversity of all our Southeast Asian flavors. However, if you prefer, you may also order individually.

Kindly note that reservations up to 6 guests can be booked via Open Table. For parties greater than 7 guests, please call us at 917-261-5926 during our hours of operation or email us at waurestaurantnyc@gmail.com

    Was given a gift card for Wau. Enjoyed a nice meal with a good service but unfortunately they couldn't process the gift card so I ended up paying out of pocket for my meal.

    My wife and I had lunch there several months ago. There was virtually no one else in the restaurant, but the waitress ignored us for a long time. Finally ordered and the dumpling appetizers came; they were good. But the mains were disappointing.

    Authentic flavors and good service, we had a very nice table for our group with a banquette around three sides. The roti canai was skimpy on the actual meat and potatoes, though the roti itself was very good. Beef rendang and the shell-free chilli crab excellent interpretations of the classics, but the Chilean sea bass was cold and had no banana leaf flavor. Even so, we had an enjoyable meal and would return.
