   Food is great except their signature. Great drink. Very loud inside the restaurant. Nice decoration.

   The worst food and service I have ever experienced. $1000 for 5 people on a fixed price menu. The food was undercooked and/or overcooked. The restaurant was freezing and empty.

   The “family style” prix fixe portions for a party of two were a bit skimpier than I’d expected for such an acclaimed restaurant.

   Our waitstaff were awesome. Food was so good. Been here several times already. I like to take new friends and family here. Lobster noodles and crab rice are still my faves. Thank you!

   Felt rushed. They insisted on us placing the entire order at one time. Then the food came out too fast

   Déçu de la cuisine : très épicé et pas très bien indiqué sur la carte . Service trop rapide .

   Wayan is a Nolita/SoHo located Indonesian and French fusion restaurant. This cuisine and style was novel yet comforting. Went with a group of 6 and we tried a good portion of the menu. Lovely decor and moderate noise and energy. We didn’t see the back area but I’m sure with the res availability, it’s sizable. I appreciate how the reservations are attainable yet it is still popular. 1. Satays - lamb, pork, scallops - all were flavorful — 8.2/10 2. Golden Sweet potatoes — godly 9.6/10 3. Citrus salad - refreshing, though the base was chunks of cabbage which isn’t my favorite — 7.6 4. Baby squid - very fried, but quality squid and a delicious & balanced mix of toppings — 8.6 5. Hamachi tartare - fresh seafood, good mix of sweet, bitter, & savory, with a little bit of crunch — 8.4 6. Sea bass - fresh, cooked perfectly, nice light sauce — 8.6 7. Lobster noodles — the revered lobster noodles were excellent, velvety noodles with a sticky coating. Plentiful lobster, portion size was fine given the small bowl. I have had better sauces which is the only detractor — 9.4 8. Crescent duck - really enjoyed this, slept on by my dinnermates — 8.6 9. Corn fritters - yum — 8.8 White wine was a strong choice, moderate sweetness. I have sesame, tree nut, and peanut allergies, and the staff/kitchen were great with accommodating and informing us on what items were safe. Otherwise, the service was good not great. I liked the speed and order of serving the satays, small plates, and then large plates. They did get rid of glasses while someone was going to pour more wine and did not ask about drinks often. I will be returning!

   My fiancée’s sister gave rave reviews of this place so we had to come check it out. Everything from the plating to the service to the flavors of the food was impeccable. We shared a ton of different dishes but we will have to come back for the dessert, we were too full for another course. We made a reservation same day and although our reservation was for the chef’s bar we were upgraded to sitting at a table and couldn’t have been happier! We will 100% return in the future.
