Paying homage to the mighty Japanese ramen tradition, Wafu (lit. "Japanese style") is a noodle bar envisioned by lauded chef Trent Pierce. Using both modern and traditional techniques, carefully chosen ingredients are combined to create an assortment of tempting noodle bowls. Small plates that pair fresh meats and seafood with Japanese-inspired flavors round out this innovative menu.

The stars of Wafu’s drink list are classic cocktails meticulously prepared via Japanese-style bartending. The signature shaking techniques, intricate ice carvings and elegant fruit garnishes are influenced by the exacting art forms of sushi making and Japanese tea ceremony. Additional drink options include a sturdy Asian beer list and concise sake selection.
