Y Noodle is a place you want to love, but the terrible staff seem bound and determined to make it as unpleasant of an experience as possible. They are rude, abrasive, and so completely unburdened by a care to give, that it’s almost impressive. Food is actually not bad but is severely overpriced for what you get.

Unexpected Gem — A Total Win
What a savior for the night! Stumbled across this place on a whim after our original dinner plans fell through, and it turned out to be the best surprise.
The atmosphere is 100% on point — cozy, stylish, and the old school R&B playing in the background set the perfect vibe. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, which instantly made the experience feel special.
Now, the food? Absolutely next-level. We ordered the kimchi and tonkatsu bento box along with the soup dumplings, and everything was spot-on in both presentation and flavor. You can tell real care goes into what they serve.
This spot is a hidden gem in Providence — definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. Highly recommend.

This spot is cute and casual. The menu looked great, but the food was not. It wasn't awful, just not amazing. Price was fair, service was fast and polite.

Ya gotta come here. Beautiful experience. The attention to detail is amazing. Tucked away here off Broadway in PVD.

Food is bomb every time. I love the spicy stir fry udon, scallion pancakes, matcha tiramisu. Ambience is fire. Details!! Also service is hit or miss but foods worth it. there’s one kid that works there as a busser- Jairo - who is diligent and professional and to our delight, he’s a server at another Providence restaurant on college hill. We had him as a server at this other spot and he is so bright, witty, driven, charming, and lovely! I hope he becomes a server at Y Noodle soon

Places simply amazing. Dishes are done well and on point. The broth of the was sweet, salty, bitter savory all of the good Umami flavors. Noodles were cooked perfectly in the pork was just delicious. Soup dumplings are some the best I ever had. In the trio of Bao Buns were nommy!

The restaurant charged me the wrong amount so they charged me again for the correct amount but didn’t refund the money. The people are so careless and irresponsible. Also the food was not good at all.

The veggie boa was very good! Ignore the missing dumpling in the photo, I ate it before I thought to take a photo. My friend had ramen and she really enjoyed the egg that came in it.

I recently visited Y Noodle Bar for the first time, and I can’t express enough how impressed I was. Although I’m not usually one to try new places, I was craving ramen, and since our usual spot was closed, we discovered this gem online. Typically, I stick to ordering the same dish at our regular ramen joint, so I was a bit nervous about trying something new. However, our server, Adam, was phenomenal. He expertly recommended the perfect dish based on my usual preferences and even added some thoughtful suggestions that truly blew me away. Adam’s kindness, helpfulness, and genuine care made us feel valued as new customers. I highly recommend asking for him if you’re new to ramen or looking for great food advice. If I could, I’d give Y Noodle Bar 10 stars, but since I can only give five, I’ll say thank you for an outstanding experience!
One of the best restaurants in the whole city, and amazing service!!! I'm a flexible vegan and there were a few solid vegan options. If your vegetarian/vegan, I'd suggest double-checking with the server matches your needs. I didn't and the one option i chose had pork in it, but the server and manager realized immediately and offered multiple times to remake it vegan for me. I said pork was okay since im not obligate vegan and eat meat every so often, and more importantly it looked way too delicious to go to waste. I was 100% right, it was one of the best meals I've had in months. My partner is also vegan and got a vegan option and hers was just as good. This is the first time I've given a 5 star review to a spot when I accidentally got meat, but the service was incredibly accommodating and the food was remarkable. While I hope they make the menu more clear going forward, giving Y Noodle & Bar anything less than 5 stars would be wrong. I'll definitely be coming back, and I hope others come too!!
Vegetarian options: Menu isn't always clearest, but there are options labeled vegan and vegetarian. More important, the staff was incredibly accommodating.

Got the spicy miso ramen and initially was good but as I ate, it got more and more salty. The portion size was reasonable for the price. The live house music playing made it a little hard to have a conversation, but overall decent.
