Parking: I recommend parking at Porter Square Shopping Center if you are driving. Otherwise, there is a train station.
Service: Service was super organized! They were friendly and checked on us frequently. There was a long line to be seated inside however they took our orders outside so that it would be ready by the time we sat down.
Atmosphere: A lot of college students but only positive vibes!
Food: Small menu but keeps things simple! I am not a noodle person but came here because of a recommendation and I have no regrets. Best udon I have ever had. Highly recommend the cold udon however the hot udon has more broth/soup. Portion size is enough to keep you satisfied and not bloated!
Definitely give this place a shot! They have a second location as well.

I’m not sure why they kept a long line waiting outside when there were plenty of empty tables inside the restaurant. I went alone, and when I was finally led in, they seated me at the bar without even asking if I’d prefer a table—despite several being clearly available. The food was okay, but I left feeling disappointed by the confusing and inattentive service.

Small but very popular spot — there was already a line when it opened, and the place was full by the time I sat down. Definitely come early if you're visiting during peak hours. The cold udon was excellent, especially with the onsen egg — super smooth and flavorful. The handmade noodles were chewy and refreshing. I heard they’ve opened a new, larger location — can’t wait to check it out next time!

Must try restaurants of Boston! Their cold udon dishes are perfect for the summer! Nice, light, and refreshing. The udon consistency is just the right amount of bite and bounce. I would highly recommend their original! The spicy version isn't all that spicy but there's a nice soft kick with the added chili oil.

Yume Ga Arukara is a Japanese restaurant specializing in Japanese udon, with a limited menu that enhances the quality of the dish by putting all their focus onto said menu items.
The staff are friendly and make the food quick, and they kept their eye closely on stuff such as more water or other items.
We got the Cold Spicy Niku Udon and the Hot Niku Udon. The Hot Niku Udon was good, very flavorful and wasn't too oily. Lots of meat and a good portion for the price. The Cold Spicy Niku was the highlight, as the cold broth went well with the udon, and had similar portion sizes as the Hot version. I think the Cold one ws a little better, but the meals here are well worth the wait.

This is definitely one of my favorite noodle spots since moving to MA, hands down. Before or after the location switch, I always find myself coming back.

Amazing udon! You can get it both in cold or hot, as it is in Japan. Very authentic! The food is amazing, its price is very adequate and some might consider even cheap for this type of food in the Boston area. The service is good too!
The only thing that could be done better is that water glasses could made out of actual glass instead of plastic. The table was also a bit wobbly, which made it harder to eat.

Great food as always, and the staff are really nice once you walk into the restaurant they always say hi to you

The food at Yume Ga Arukara is absolutely delicious—worth every bite! The noodles are perfectly chewy, the broth is rich, and the flavors are deeply satisfying. Just be prepared to wait in line, especially during peak hours.
A must-visit spot if you’re craving a memorable bowl of udon 🍜
Super delicious and addictive! “Cold Spicy Udon Niku” with beef, yum! Came here after son’s graduation and it was worth waiting on a long line to get a seat. Beef was sliced paper thin and tender and the spice was just right. Slurped all the left over soup because it was that good :) Going to back there for lunch😂

This is the BEST Udon noodle I’ve ever had! I got the Spicy Cold Niku Udon and it was mind-blowingly good! The cold udon went very well with the spice and the beef was freshly and properly cooked. I loved watching them prepare fresh udon from scratch. The line moves quickly so it’s not that long of a wait.

Great overall experience, staff was very friendly and service was quick, very attentive also even though the place was packed, they take your order outside and then seat you to streamline the process, the food is slightly intimidating at first but very good and great prices, must try place for sure
