Warude
385 Tompkins Ave, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a charming BedStuy block, Warude is a wonderfully eclectic fusion spot where Japanese and Latin American flavors collide—fresh corn tortillas meet teriyaki bowls, and the staff's warmth makes it feel like a neighborhood gathering place. The kitchen shines brightest with its seafood and carefully prepared traditional dishes, especially when you catch them on a sunny afternoon on their outdoor seating, where the vibe shifts from casual lunch spot to evening destination. It's the kind of place where the fusion concept actually works, drawing regulars back for those specific cravings that only a thoughtful blend of cuisines can satisfy.”

The food was very delicious. I feel like you can taste the quality and I found the curry wonderfully rich.
This place is confusing. Brazilian samba, japanese, aguayos, tribal stuff… but besides that my tofu was supposed to be fried but is was white and soggy. My friend’s teriyaki bowl was better.
These tacos were so good!!! The corn tortillas were soft, warm, and tasted freshly made. Nothing was spicy, just flavorful and super fresh. My bf got the cod and fried chicken tacos, and we both loved them. I’m not even a fish girl but the cod taco totally changed my mind. It was light, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The fried chicken was crunchy, tender, and full of flavor. 🌮💛 I’m Mexican and these are absolutely taco approved 🙂↕️
No frills, decent food. The fish dish was good. The fried tofu bowl was meh, especially wasnt a fan of the sauce.
Love Warude! Fusion Japanese food always hits a specific craving. On a cute block in BedStuy this is a great spot for lunch or dinner, especially when the weather is nice. Staff is phenomenal, hardly any wait time, and always playing good music. I really love the interesting and unique flavors has to offer — from the flavor palettes to building out a bowl. The serving sizes are GENEROUS! (Though my sides have often been a bit bland compared to the main, so sometimes the heaps of lightly seasoned brown rice aren’t enough to contextualize the delicious miso salmon.) I would note that indoor seating is limited so I definitely recommend sitting outside. On slower days, there should be no wait for a table. But at busier times, the restaurant is completely full with no luck of getting a table. Thankfully, their to go service bodes well when picnicking in nearby Herbert von King Park.
