Waya Japanese Izakaya

Went with a party of 6, it was definitely a small space but the atmosphere is great and gave you traditional vibes. The food though, WOW. What a light and savory broth. Best ramen I've had. We tried the veggie and pork gyoza, Dandan spicy ramen, tonkotsu shoyu, spicy tonkotsu, and spicy chicken tonkotsu. Perfect spiciness level, protein was tender, and the gyoza were delicious.Dietary restrictions: They do offer gluten-free noodles if requested.

The ramen here was delicious you could tell there was actual effort put into the food and its prep and it came through in the taste. The staff were amazing and fun. They even enjoyed seeing our little one there. Due to this massive heat wave and through no fault of their own it was hot for ramen. We left sweating from the heat of the weather and how warm and content our stomachs were. When the Temps drop back down to human survival levels I'd say stop in and feast!Vegetarian options: We asked. There are a few vegetarian options and even vegetarian staff that can help you be informed.Dietary restrictions: They offer a different noodle that is gluten free. I believe it was yam...Parking: Parking out front with several restaurants options. Easy to get in and out of vehicles and leaving is just backing out and going.Kid-friendliness: The space is small so if you bring in children try to keep your gear to a minimum. You may consider your own booster seat. The staff were amazing but this seems to be a place that would be best for either a child that can share a meal or older kids.Wheelchair accessibility: The shop was small. I'm sure it could fit a wheelchair but maneuvering would be difficult. They did have tables which could easily accommodate a wheelchair though!

Solid ramen spot! We got the spicy curry ramen, spicy double char siu black tonkotsu, and tonkotsu ramen. The spicy curry ramen was very flavorful; I wish it was more hot (temperature wise) since it was leaning closer to warm. The spicy double char siu black tonkotsu was very creamy and had a lot of flavor, probably the best one we got. The tonkatsu ramen was also a solid choice. I was thrown off by the spinach being more raw since it’s usually cooked. The restaurant is also very warm so eating hot ramen in the summer isn’t the most ideal, but overall, the food wasn’t bad.

3-stars but I think I may have ordered the wrong thing. I will be back to give this place another shot because they have some interesting items on the menu. I ordered the cheesy curry ramen which would be awesome if you're into Japanese yellow curry, but it's one of those things that I fell out of love with a long time ago.

Reminds me of the ramen bars in Japan! The tomato ramen and the veggie gyoza are DELICIOUS. (I’ve been back 3 times this week). My fiancé really liked the tonkotsu ramen as well.Vegetarian options: For vegetarian options they have the delicious tomato ramen, veggie ramen, veggie yakisoba, veggie gyoza, and more. Love!
