Wahta Ramen serves Asian comfort food in Frisco
Chicken katsu ($15) is panko-fried chicken served with steamed rice and miso soup.
Hyun Yoon wanted to fuse Korean and Japanese food and culture, which inspired her to open Wahta Ramen in Frisco. To achieve this, Yoon adorned the walls with pictures of anime and video game characters. She also worked to blend the avors from each culture in the kitchen. The backstory Before opening Wahta Ramen, Yoon owned a construction company that built several restaurants, which led to her interest. The restaurant opened in December 2019. “She designed everything and installed every- thing [in Wahta Ramen],” employee Anna Lee said of Yoon.
In a nutshell Many of the restaurant’s dishes were developed with a former employee from Japan, who recently returned to her hometown of Osaka, Lee said. “Our ramen is a Korean and Japanese mix,” Lee said. Additionally, Yoon said she wants the restaurant to have a family-friendly atmosphere that serves Asian comfort food. Lee said the restaurant’s signature dish is the tonkotsu ramen. Other popular dishes include the spicy seafood ramen, curry and chicken karaage, Japanese-style fried chicken served with a housemade spicy sauce.
