I would definitely recommend this place. Their spicy cold niku udon is amazing. However, it can get a bit pricy, especially when you start getting extra meat, extra noodles, or egg. Also, it would be nice if they added some vegetables. Still, a very tasty option, and especially good on hot days.

On the menu it says that minimum of one bowl must be ordered for dine in customers, which we did, then Valeria said it’s a minimum of one per customer(which the menu did not specify). The gentleman said we could still stay and eat it here, but she told him that we couldn’t stay( even though there was no line behind us) . Absolutely would never come back, food was ok definitely not worth a long line. I would avoid hiring people like Valeria.

Specialty Japanese Udon shop, serving delectable cold and hot noodles. The menu focuses on their core, made-from-scratch dishes with a few varieties. This results in a high quality, tasty end product.
Enjoyed the cold spicy niku udon with sliced green onions, tempura bits, thinly sliced beef, and a house secret spicy chili / oil sauce. The dish was refreshing and satisfying (without weighing you down).
Pleasant and attentive service, with fairly quick turnover of their tables. Since there are no reservations, expect to stand in line until a spot opens up (the line starts outside the restaurant door, so a decent number of people can stand in line inside the cool building).

Forced to have 1 bowl a person, and adults can't even get a kids bowl.

My group of 3 arrived at around 7 pm on a Monday. We were seated at a table for 2, so the dining experience was a bit cramped for my party. The service was nice, as we had several waiters check in on us several times during the hour we were there and refill our water cups.
As for the food, I personally ordered the Signature Cold Niku Udon for $15. It was undoubtedly one of the best cold udon dishes that I have ever had in a restaurant. The tare sauce was salty but added the needed flavor to the noodles and beef. The tempura crisps added a nice contrast to the chewy texture of the udon noodles. The beef was somewhat sparse but absorbed the sauce well.

Food was yummy, just not the best udon I’ve had. The service was pretty mid, tbh, they never checked on us or tried to fill up our water. But the vibes were there, so that’s good.

The White lady was being very condescending, challenging, and rude to us as we picked up our dinner. Unfriendly service. Awfully poor experience at Yume

I was excited to eat here because a friend had recommended it. When I arrived, the line was extremely long and wrapped around the walls of the building, but it moved at a decent pace. As we got closer to the front, a staff member came by to take our order.
Once we were seated, our food came out very quickly. I ordered the cold udon because I saw it was their specialty, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were bold yet refreshing. My friends ordered the hot udon, and while I tried a bite, the cold one was definitely the way to go, it had so much more flavor.
I really enjoyed my meal. I usually never finish an entire bowl of ramen or udon, but I finished every bite because it was that good! I definitely recommend this to anyone who usually orders hot udon. Cold udon has truly changed my life!

Selena is extremely talented and the best server in Boston. The food is amazing too. She remembered our names and our orders months after she met us months ago . She has great energy and she’s very enthusiastic.

a little slow to put ramen on the table, and the niku(beef) a little too fatty.
Recommended dishes: Hot Spicy Udon
I had high expectations of this place. From tiktoks, google reviews etc. It was a huge disappointment. The udon had almost no flavor. The spicy Niku udon was just oily and lacking in depth. The beef was fatty and greasy but not in an unctuous way. The regular niku udon had no flavor, period. You’re better off boiling your own udon, and using some dashi powder to make a broth. I don’t know how people were enjoying it. No matter how I took a photo, it wasn’t palatable. The onset egg was extr, and honestly wasn’t cooked perfectly. Perhaps Massachusetts has lower standards in noodles. :(
