I chose the stirfy with level 1 (medium hot). It was very spicy.Vegetarian options: You choose the ingredients and put them in your bowl. Varieties of vegetables, tofu, mushrooms, and noodles.

I usually don't write reviews, but this was exceptionally bad. The broth was good, but the overall quality didn't match the price. I paid $20, didn't get what I ordered, and my personally selected toppings were swapped without notice. After I made my bowl, they took it back to add broth, and when it returned, many toppings were missing, replaced with sausages and questionable meat-like substances. I was expecting fungus and seaweed, not this.Taking the time to choose your toppings is pointless...if they remove and replace your toppings. It seems others noticed similar issues. Whatever's happening in the kitchen, I won't be going back.

Tastes good and has variety, but lately been getting less volume of food than before, and the hours are wrong.

The portion sizes are very generous and flavors are all very authentic as well! Definitely worth a try!

Love this place! The girl that always helps me is supper sweet too! I get the spicy ramen with chicken and the side of fried rice. O.M.G. It's basic but very tasty and now It's one of my weekly cravings. YUM!

Was craving something sweet and noticed they had sweet buns in the menu ! The service was amazing, the staff was very friendly. Leslie was awesome ! It was my first time here and I enjoyed the atmosphere. Will definitely come back for noodles.

Amazing flavors and such a kind staff. I've only lived in providence for a few months but have already begun eating here weekly (if not more frequently than that). Such good food that always leaves me full :) great selection of meat, veggies and noodles. I highly recommend getting the stir fry. Mala for breakfast lunch and dinner.

My husband and I LOVEE this place so much, their team is so friendly and informative. The food is always on point every time we went there. Highlight recommend level 1 or 2 for starters then you can level up your spice for the next visit. We always wish to have a place like this in RI and we’re so glad it’s here.

Be careful that if u want ur own selection don’t pay upfront in the machine. I used to order in machine and pick myself. It worked every time during busy hours.Today they told me it didn’t work as machine order is for in house mix. And previously they just didnt check order during busy hours.Quite messy and disorganized process but just be careful about that.

To be honest I was a bit disappointed when the price was flat and not based on weight (especially as a vegetarian). They were out of a few options.However, the food quality was very good and you do get really good portion sizes. I’d definitely go again!

Tastes like fast noodles, but expensive (at least $18/bowl).Too much oil in the stir fry. The variety of vegetables, noodles, and meat is nice though.

$25 dollars for a bowl of noodles that you make is steep.I love noodles but I think I disagree with the fundamental idea of this place: build your own bowl. Admittedly, the broth they added was decent in flavor and legitimately spicy. Packing optimally the portions you can amass are considerable. Still, the ingredient selection process was clumsy and prone to ending up with a random sausage or ingredient you didn’t choose in your final bowl. Considering that, 25$ for a bowl with extra protein is a high price. I doubt I’ll be coming back. However, to end this review on a more positive note the counter service was polite and friendly despite the silly pink hats they’re forced to wear.
