A modern ode to the rich history of the iconic Japanese bowl of noodles, Wokou is far more than a traditional ramen spot – we’re urban, unique, unexpected and rooted in culture. Sip and slurp up elevated comfort food with warm, fiercely flavorful noodles alongside sizzling plates of Japanese yakitori. From our bright, full-sized airbrush wall illustrations to our one-of-a-kind twists on classic menu items, Wokou promises an exciting eating experience that is anything but typical.

    Carter was wonderful getting us situated with extra heat lamps outside since we called about an hour before for a table for 8 inside and were met with a different waiter not willing to accommodate us despite us being told they could on the phone. Food was yummy and service from Carter top notch. Drinks were very good too.

    Food was fine. We chose this restaurant to be able to eat ramen while sitting outdoors due to covid. The gyoza was good, all of the other food was just “fine”. I think it would have been passable had it not been priced so high for what it was.

    Excellent spot for a family dinner. Kids loved the wings, ramen and sushi selections. Great ramen!

    Went for lunch. This is Asian-inspired cuisine. The ramen broth was initially bland but it grew on you. The dan dan was flavorful but only because random pickled cabbages were inserted, without a sense of organization. Happy we tried it. They appear to have a good Japanese whisky menu though.

    Excellent food and a great atmosphere! We all loved everything, and even though our drinks and food took a while to be delivered, everyone was wonderful! We understand that since COVID, you might need to be more patient overall-and it was worth it!

    Went to this restaurant based on the menu posted on OpenTable. The menu at the restaurant was less. They were not serving (until next week, we were told)the food choice we had gone for. The staff, though at times somewhat disorganized, were friendly. The music within the restaurant at arrival was loud. It was difficult to hold a conversation with my wife. Then they turned off the music and the street musician outside began his program. The sound was louder than the music had been inside earlier. What food we did order was alright, but nothing to rave about. Most likely we will not return to this establishment.

    They have update their menu but the soups are still on the bland side, even the spicy soup didn't have a rich flavor, just mainly spice. The happy hour selection is pretty varied and fun to choose from on the food side, limited on the drink specials. The kiddie menu has been reduced and no more the PB&J Bao they had that my little one enjoyed.

    Service was extremely slow. Took 10-15 minutes to receive a drink after waiting 10 minutes for the server to greet us. The server didn't check on us after the food was delivered. Food was lacking flavor/salt.
