Love hunting for Ramen and today came to this place. Staff are friendly and helpful. The ramen size is quite big with much spring sprout and thick pork slices. For me, 2 slices ramen is more than enough. Pork slice was meant to be tendered because I had 1 piece very tendered while the other rough. The soup was rich and yet, it was a bit oily and salty for my me. I enjoyed the game part, which was related to the shop name- DREAMS. Highly recommend customer to join the game - to speak out 10 dreams in 30s and get a chance to spin. Also, be prepared to queue for at least 20min before enter.

It was very delicious, but 11 slices of pork was a bit much... I'm so sorry I had to leave some behind🙇

Made my dreams come true! Yume Wo Katare has is here to help you find your dreams, and also serves my favorite bowl of ramen in the US.
First, the food: the pork broth is rich and flavorful, especially with the “delicious garlic”, and the portion size is quite substantial. You will want to finish it though, for the shout out from the kitchen
After finishing their ramen bowl, every guest stands up and shares their dream. I listen as someone else shares their plans for a nice garden—that was my plan too, so I decided to come up with a new dream. I stand up and tell everyone I want to move to an apartment in cambridge, on top of a bakery. A lady emerges from the back of the kitchen, saying she has to tell me about her favorite somerville bakery, and the plentiful cute apartments nearby. I guess dreams really do come true here! Its yet to see if I move into one of those apartments, but for now I’m enjoying the pastries. And now I want some more ramen

I just wanted to eat a bowl of ramen, but found myself in a group-therapy session. Sitting in a classroom-like setup, you are being served a bowl of bland Shoyu ramen.
The chashu is good, although a little salty. The broth lacked depth and just tasted salty. The raw garlic was overpowering, simply too much. Noodles are very thick and tasted slightly undercooked, even if intentional, this is not my preference.
This place is incredibly overhyped, not worth the wait, please support other ramen shops in the area.

Delicious Ramen, they just had one option of pork. They do make vegan if requested. The spot has real japanese vibe, be ready to say your dream at the end of the bowl.

A one-of-a-kind ramen shop in Porter Square serving the best ramen in New England. Period. Love the spirit. The broth is unreal. Yes, add extra garlic. Duh. It’s worth the queue in the winter and eating something hot in the summer. It’s genuinely one if the best things you’ll ever eat (if you eat pork). It’s also run by a kind chef who is interested in helping others achieve their dreams. Run, don’t walk, to Yume Wo Katare and don’t be silly enough to eat a meal earlier in the day. Maybe a piece of fruit 6 hours before. Max.
This place is absolutely worth the wait. The line is long, but the experience is amazing. I really enjoyed the depth and intensity of the flavors—truly something special. One of the most memorable parts was when they asked us to share our dreams. It created such a unique and inspiring atmosphere, connecting us with others as dreamers. It was a remarkable experience, and I’d be excited to come back.

been going here on and off since 2014, even with the change in ownership some years back id recommend to anyone who's visiting boston and wants some unique ramen
maybe you think its too salty or oily, but i like it :)
the noodles are always firm, which i think is great. i ask for extra cabbage and garlic, but you can let them know ahead of time if you have preferences. i think the other proportions for other parts of the bowl are good
i think the ramen is best when its very hot outside during the summer. it's a nice extreme.
the employees there are always pleasant, ive never had a bad experience

contrary to the reviews, I feel like this place was lacking in terms of the most important part- the food/ramen. I just tasted the salty soy sauce/shoyu and that was it. It just wasn’t that good, any other Asian food would be better and more depth of flavor. The pork was inconsistent-some pieces tender but others a bit hard to chew-and just a bit salty, no other flavor. The noodles were chewy but not in a satisfying way, they had a strange flavor and left me no desire to eat them. The only cool part is the dreamer concept, but is it worth going again? Probably not.
