Top Tier Dining Experience. Nestled in a cozy corner, this intimate ramen restaurant truly captures the essence of Japan's iconic alleyway eateries. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The ramen is nothing short of spectacular—beautifully prepared, with rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender toppings that make every bite a delight. The entire experience, from the food to the service, is top-tier. It’s a hidden gem that delivers a true taste of Japan’s with a unique culinary twist only Providence's local food scene can offer.

Really weird interior vibes and food is relatively good! I would not say spectacular. I think the dessert is 10000% the standout in the meal! We got the banana bread and ice cream and both were phenomenal.

Absolutely the best ramen experience you’ll have in New England, dare I say on the east coast in general.
Scott does it right. You can taste the exceptional care and love put into every broth and each perfectly cooked noodle.
The size of the space is a perfect Indicator of the intimate experience you’re about to indulge in. It feels like a home away from home. Excellent ambiance and super friendly and attentive staff.
If you’re crying about the wait times you’re a fool; I don’t trust an empty restaurant and neither should you!
Everything about this dining experience is truly special. A well crafted gift bestowed upon diners with love and respect for an art form seldom held to as high of a standard that Scott and his staff do.
The ice cream and cookies riiiiiiiiip!

Really good food and ambiance. Nice employees but since it’s a small location, no reservations and because it’s so good it’s difficult to get a table without a decent wait

One of my favorite ramen joints. I got the tonkotsu broth special - insanely good and rich. My friend I went with is vegan and he got the spicy sesame, which was also really great and super flavorful

One of their most popular choices is essentially vegan (hold the egg).
My favorite ramen in Rhode Island by far! I love the cozy environment and the ramen is incredible. Also, the team always has fun events and collaborations which we really enjoy. I make an effort to try all the ramen options but my heart is ultimately with the spicy sesame ramen!

Vegetarian options: There were only two vegetarian options in January 2025: menma rice and sesame ramen
Wheelchair accessibility: The space to move around in the restaurant is quite narrow.

We got there and they refused to speak to us and just continued to work around us. They were rude and snobby and told us it would be me an hour even though the restaurant was empty. They didn’t even ask for our name or number and never wanted to serve us. Do not recommend this restaurant!!!

Stopped in for dinner, there was a wait so we went to a bar in the neighborhood. Overall, a very small space, once we got in we ordered the cabbage ceasar , and it was a delightful start to the meal. Each of our Ramen dishes were different in flavor, but overall enjoyable in their own way.

Off the charts delicious. Worth the wait. Dessert is creative and exciting. I'm a sucker for their sesame broth. All the staff are very nice and friendly.
