I took ikebana class with my partner for an anniversary event and it was very nice. Also professor was inspiring and she was knowledgeable, making the art form approachable and meaningful. Her clear guidance and thoughtful feedback fostered creativity while deepening my appreciation for ikebana’s beauty and philosophy. An unforgettable experience! In addition, the professor was very sweet kind and funny and easy to approach. 🥰

Fantastic class. Teacher was very knowledgeable about history if Ikebana and was able to provide us with the context necessary for us to start designing our own arrangement. Highly recommend.

Had an amazing time learning about the history of ikebana with Junko-san! Our moribana class was very relaxing and she gave insightful pointers on our arrangements. Definitely recommend giving her a try and we’ll happily take another class in the future :)

Took the 2.5hr intro course and it was great! Junko was very knowledgeable and so nice! She brought a great warmth to the class and was very helpful with hands-on instruction. Would definitely recommend!

My hubby and I have been taking Junko’s classes for over a year, and we have had a great experience. She always keeps her classroom clean, and charges a reasonable price despite the inflation. She personally designed the ikebana master class catering directly to my hubby and my interests. We started with the ikebana beginner classes, and moved to learn the Western styles, and then are now going back to the ikebana advance classes with fusion styles. Each class is about 2-hour long and she will give a general direction and demonstrate techniques and leave most of the time to let us run wild with our imaginations with our own arrangements and practice techniques. In the meanwhile, she will watch and give us feedbacks. What I love the most about her is that she really cares about her students and taking a class with her always feels like a rendezvous with a dear friend. Learning with lots of encouragement truly pushes us to our better potentials.

Had a great time here for the Ikebana course. Junko is so kind and gave us detailed introduction of the history of Ikebana and the techniques. Got the cherry blossom today perfect for spring!

Such a fun experience with two very nice ladies! :)

She was recommended to me by a friend. I ordered some arrangement flowers for a dinner event and she did great. She added her expertise and made my vision cooler!!

Had a great time here. We were all beginners but learned so much and had a blast trying out different flower arrangements.

Such beautiful flowers!

Great experience at Wagamama in Manhattan 🍜 It’s definitely on the pricey side for ramen, but the quality is there and it was very good overall. I found the pork a bit too fatty for my taste, but I really appreciated the addition of soft, melt-in-your-mouth onions. The server was very kind and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I’d still recommend it and would come back.

Today was absolutely incredible! I came with a few colleagues, and right from the moment we arrived, Harley, our host, greeted us with such warmth and hospitality—it felt like stepping into a welcoming embrace. But the excitement didn’t stop there! Henry, the supervisor, surprised us with a delightful birthday cake while a talented choir serenaded us with a joyful rendition of "Happy Birthday." It was such a memorable experience! The way they treat their guests is truly outstanding. I have to give the service and food a perfect 10 out of 10! What an unforgettable day!

Had an amazing experience at Wagamama Murray Hill! The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Our server Massimo was fantastic—super friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. Manager Dane also stopped by to check in and was incredibly nice and welcoming. Excellent service all around—can’t wait to come back!

Server Irving and Manager Henry were very friendly and welcoming. It was a pleasure chatting with you. Everything was delicious and the drinks were tasty and refreshing. My recs are grab a few pork/duck/mushroom buns and some cocktails for a nice evening.

The service at this place was absolutely fantastic. Steven nailed the drinks, and the manager Kevin was incredibly attentive. Our waiter was superb, making the entire experience enjoyable. I loved every moment here and will definitely be returning. Must-try items include the backyard burger, salmon nachos, and the U Be espresso martini.

Cornelia Bora

Service was excellent! Our server was very pleasant, even though its was almost closing time, doing his best to make sure we get what we are looking for. I apologize for forgetting his name but he is was very thoughtful and helpful with us, with our little one, making sure we were all happy.I was a little sick and needed a spicy, hot chicken ramen and he delivered. It was the best I ever had! I appreciate the little details, glasses cups (not plastic), water bottle, wooden spoons, etc. After this experience, this restaurant goes on our "must have in NY" list. Thank you for dinner #wagamama.

Great food in a cozy atmosphere. Firecracker Chicken is the menu to go: delicious and spicy. Fast and attentive service thanks to Suu. Wagamama is always a great option. Highly recommended.

I’ve found that many Chinese-owned new-style restaurants are also named with the word “mama,” like “Mother’s Kitchen,” conveying a warm and homey feeling.

Prob best overall meal I’ve had in NYC so far!! Restaurant week is a blessing — got a $30 three-course dinner! Stephen was an amazing waiter throughout the night, very attentive and kind. The apple Porkbelly bao was a great start. The sweetness of the fried apple slice countered the saltiness of the pork belly really well. The textures were all there, the flavors were dancing — phenomenal. The main was a schezuan pork ramen. A bit on the saltier side, but the noodles were nice and springy, and the pork bits were yum. It paled in comparison to the rest of the meal, but still a very solid dish. The matcha cheesecake was a bit slow to come but totally worth the wait. Such a light yet decadent dessert to finish the meal. Not too sweet, and the ice cream is made in-house. The ice cream had ginger notes (I think) and really tied everything together since the cheesecake was a tad dry. Wowowow did it blow me away. Porkbelly and apple bao: 9.4 Ramen: 7.8 Matcha cheesecake: 9.7

This location is one my favorites; the food is always so good (Szechuan pork ramen is my #1) and the servers are so welcoming. I’ve had such great experiences with Henry and Massimo taking care of me. Will always recommend this spot.

Dina Akbar

Despite coming off hours (between lunch & dinner), Irving and Jason gave me VIP service with a smile. What a lovely, warm place where you are treated like family. The pork bun with apple was absolutely amazing. I still can’t believe that was an apple so delicious. I also had the crispy tuna appetizer so good! I will be back!

Michael McGee

The young man who helped me said he’d only been working there for about three months, but he did a great job. Super friendly, spoke really well, gave solid recommendations, and seemed kind and attentive to everyone around him. Definitely a great fit for the team. Great food! Would eat there every night if I could

Jeff Huart

Nice Vibe at the Murray Hill wagamama. Almost as good at the wagamama's in London. The service was good. Appetizer was very tasty. I had the Pad Thai with shrimps instead of the chicken. Delicious with a nice bite.

jennifer Ortiz

Everything about our visit was a 10/10 from the incredible service to the amazing atmosphere. What really made the experience stand out was our bartender, who was not only knowledgeable but also had a fantastic sense of humor and a super positive attitude. They recommended a Manhattan to pair with my meal, and it ended up being the perfect match. Their energy, friendliness, and great drink suggestions made the night even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back! :)

The chicken pad Thai here was very good in flavor and everyone else enjoyed their meal as well. We had the cauliflower and dumplings as an appetizer and that was delicious as well. I’ll certainly return and try other dishes. The juices were also very refreshing.

I have dined at Wagamama’s several times over the years, but this was my first time at this location. As I walked in, I loved their dining area appearance, was so stunning, with modern furnish, large windows, full of sunlight. Their menu was same as other locations. We ordered bunch of items like duck and karaage chicken baos, calamari, edamame, bang bang cauliflower and the duck ramen. Food came out at decent pace. Most of the items were good, the baos and edamame specially. Duck ramen never misses, their best dish. But the cauliflower didn’t taste good. The chicken in daughter’s kids meal was also dry. The service was excellent. They gave coloring paper and crayons to the kids. We got few drinks that were well made. Overall we had a wonderful lunch at this location.
