Wabi House

Finding ramen in Dallas is hardly difficult, but finding seriously slurpable soup noodles that will knock your socks off isn't always so simple. Enter Wabi House, a sleek, wood-lined izakaya-style spot that's been taking the city by storm ever since it opened on lower Greenville in 2015. Among the choice offerings are five different ramens that range from spicy miso and dry garlic to tsukemen (a dipping ramen) and an intense, pork broth packed tonkotsu with chashu, soft egg, mushrooms, butter corn, scallions and black garlic oil. They also make a killer mushroom broth-based version that packs just as big of a punch as its pork-enriched counterparts. Equally good are non-ramen options like fried shiitake mushrooms dressed up with bone marrow butter and karaage– fried chicken served up with spicy aioli and salty-sweet watermelon. Wash it all down with some sake, or better yet, go for one of the craft cocktails. We like the Greenville Escape with vodka, lime, mint, soda and honeydew puree.
