I used to think ramen was a joke because instant ramen, although a good junk food, basically is. So I dug deeper and learned how real ramen in Japan is made and see now it is an art form. I searched all of Dallas to find a place who serves authentic Tsukemen and my friends recommended Wabi House. The menu is simple, which I like. I ordered the Tsukemen and Karaage. The Karaage appetizer is a unique take on chicken and watermelon. The chicken w aioli was good but wow the watermelon was coated with a spicy sauce that heightened it's sweetness and left a unique yummy after taste. So Tsukemen is a ramen bowl that has the broth on the side. The noodles have a firm texture perfect for dipping. The egg is so good, yolk still soft and brined or marinated in a way to make the egg white sweet. The pork belly was mostly meat and also sweet and delicious. The pork belly dipping broth, whoa, umami overload. Very filling and satisfying. That's some damn good ramen. Left needing a well deserved nap.

I LOVE ME SOME WABI HOUSE. This is my personal favorite place to eat in lower Greenville for a few reasons.
1) Really great menu with delicious sides and small plates. I've tried almost everything and I've loved each thing equally, from delicious (and cheap) Spicy Edamame to the melt in your mouth Takoyaki balls, to Croquettes, the pork ears.. pretty much everything is good and none of the dishes get old.
2) It has its own style: It may not be the most traditional ramen around, but it's unique enough with such great and fresh flavors that it comes close. I'm never been a huge fan of asian fusion because it gets away with changing the original without the effort. Well, this place has been incredibly consistent with its quality and techniques- and I never feel like the 'fusion' part of the menu is an excuse for less ingredients or 'frankensteined with mayo on everything' taste. Everything tastes fresh, clean, and hits the spot right where it should. Especially the ramen.
3) Ridiculously affordable for what you get. I don't make Sr. Executive CEO money despite what the rest of Greenville wants me to spend on a quick dinner out--Here you can share a sake with your SO and have a casual filling dinner experience without even coming close to breaking the bank. What you can snack on for 4-11 dollars will really surprise you, unlike some other places in the area that insist a single 'luxury' taco is worth 3-8 bucks.
Went with a party of 10+ people with a reservation at 6pm on Saturday, the location is in a hip & trendy area within walking distance of Steel City popsicles for dessert. The restaurant wss packed and the overall ambience of the restaurant was modern and warm.
Ramen is delicious, waiter was nice & refilled water regularly & split the bill, was kinda weird that they didn't automatically add gratuity for a party of our size but I still left a decent tip. The mojito was kinda small for the price and had a lot of lime juice in it.
This place was great. Honestly, the best service I’ve ever received in Texas.
We were in a rush and wanted to get a quick bite. The host communicated our time restraint to our waitress and they worked together like ramen and broth. Service was fluid, attentive, and courteous.
I wish I caught the waitresses name because she was exceptional.
Great prices, great food, and great service.
I’ll definitely be back.
Food and service is absolutely top notch! My favorite place to eat noddles in Dallas! Also the Geisha martini is so delicious! Highly recommend it to anyone going!
I've eaten here 3 times already and every dish I've tried has been excellent. My favorite.... The fried pork ears. Lilian, makes them extra crispy for me. The staff are very friendly and the service is quick. Would eat here more often if it wasn't so far away from where I live.
Hands down the best place to get ramen in North Texas, and I can say this with confidence as I've only been to one place to get ramen in North Texas.
Food was amazing, great location and close parking. Great for drinks and appetizers or a full meal. Nice patio up front to people watch. Service was spot on.
Favorite place in all of Dallas! I usually get the Spicy Miso but yesterday tried the Tsukemen. It was so good! Also tried the Karaage for the first time also a must have. Nico is the best waiter there always nice and talkative. Will always go back to Wabi House!!
My newest addiction. So delicious! My husband’s favorite is the tsukumen and I am partial to the spicy miso. Our favorite appetizer we’ve tried is the bone marrow shiitakes. Drinks are always quick and tasty. Service had been fanstastic each time also! Definitely one of favorite places

It was the best experience and the food was to die for. You couldn't eat just one thing.
Dan was awesome and so was the food!!!!! I will definitely be back!!!! Bone marrow butter w/ mushrooms and dreamy cloud nigori sake...yummmmm
Favorite ramen place! I brave the drive to Dallas just for this place!
Excellent service and food. Girlfriend and I have been looking for a good ramen house for a while and we have
.
I recently went vegan and all organic. The reason to go organic is to avoid pesticides and toxins and hopefully gain better nutrition in the organic produce. That stated, how do I know if my meal was organic when I eat out? I don't. Putting those blinders on, the soup was delicious and full of flavor. The noodles were fresh made, you could taste that difference. I am personally hopeful more local restaurants will take the organic focus. I would eat out far more.
Amazing ramen amazing small plates great service. Definitely a hidden gem of Greenville, must try! I'll be back many many times.
TLDR; The food and atmosphere were great for a reasonable price. I recommend this place.
First time at Wabi House and it was pretty great! I came while a lot of roads were closed around the restaurant due to a marathon going on, but there was plenty of parking in their lot and on the streets behind the restaurant.
When I walked in to the restaurant around lunch time, it was packed. I had a seat at the bar and a server immediately greeted me. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen without scallions and a Coke. Even though they were packed, it took less than 10 minutes to get my ramen. The ramen was perfect on this cold day. Great flavor, amazing quality, and fast.
I paid about $17 for my order. I look forward to going back and enjoying more.
Delicious ramen with great service. Extremely friendly staff with nice bar to grab some lunch. Indoor & outdoor sitting. I would definitely visit this location again.
Great experience! First time but we will be back, so far this is now my favorite Ramen noodle place!! Atmosphere was great, place was full but we sat right away, a few tables were open and they have an outside picnic area if you would rather stay there, family with small children. Waiter was quick, we got the Brussels and beets as the app, a Leche and expresso cocktail. I got the spicy miso, I always do and the wife got her veggie ramen but added a poached egg. Oh my, I would go back just for the Brussel sprouts that how good they are. Spicy miso was finally spicy 😋 usually ill order and have to ask for extra spice but this was just right. Noodles were fresh and had a nice slurry chew to them. Broth was spicy but not too salty, most ramen are packed with salt but I didn't taste salt. Maybe because it had the spices perfect. All for under 100 with tip included. A great lunch.
We ordered Tsukemen and spicy miso Raman. Both were really good. Tuckemen was more delicious. The broth was very flavorful. Tuckemen is only server for dinner. I can say this place is very authentic Japanese Raman. I tried a lot of Raman places and this place satisfied me. I used to live in Japan. Servers are very helpful and very professional. I highly recommend this restaurant. I am definitely going back again.
We revisited twice in a short period of time since we love their crispy pork ears sooooo much as well as the dried garlic noodles, which is the most delicious dried noodles to my own taste that I’ve had in the area!
The amount of garlic was just right and the sauce was a secret magic of it. Besides, as you mix the poached egg well with noodles, it could bring your taste buds to the next level!
Of course, love their appetizers too! Never got wrong with any of them. Would definitely try all of them out myself!

As always, the food here is fantastic. We used to visit the Fort Worth location when we lived there, but now we frequent the Dallas location. It can get crowded during happy hours and weekends, but the food and staff remain top-notch. Highly recommended!
Took servers' recommendations, ordered the beets and brussel sprouts appetizer, and loved the cashews/flavor of it! For main, got the Tonkatsu. Eggs were amazing, pork was good but small portion, and noodles had great bite to them (not over or under cooked). Very chill vibe, good light, not too loud. Would come again!
I’ve been going to this place for about 8 years now and it never disappoints. Really solid, good food. I highly recommend their chicken karaage and shishito peppers. This is their tankatso ramen with spicy rayu! Great stuff!
Great ramen, great service. It’s good that they have lunch-sizes in their ramen, very affordable. Good-sized takoyaki too. We tried their crispy pork ears. Very ingenious use of pigs ears. The ears itself can be chewy but the crisp batter makes up for it and the spicy mayo dip is great.
Had a fantastic experience today at Wabi house. Our family was seated in a nice booth and our food came out really quick too! Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. I almost missed out on taking photos of our ramen because I was so hungry and the appetizers did their job!
