New Wave Kitchen Ramen & Sake Bar

I really wanted to like House Ramen, but it was honestly disappointing. The board said $18, but it rang up as $20, then I added chicken for $4, and with tax it came out to about $26. For that price, I expected way more flavor. The broth was pretty bland and lacked depth. It didn’t have that rich, savory, comforting taste you expect from ramen. The $4 chicken add-on tasted like plain rotisserie chicken just placed on top instead of something seasoned or cooked into the broth. I was genuinely craving ramen and usually finish the whole bowl in one sitting, but I couldn’t even finish this one. Overall, it just wasn’t worth the money.

We went for lunch and had a fantastic time. The noodles were hot and fresh. The staff was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend giving this spot a try !

I have lived on emporium lunches over a decade, so after leaving URI, I really didn't have much desire to go back. But boy, am I glad I tried this place! The food is farm fresh, high quality, and creative. Knowing what local farms and vendors are being used makes me feel good about my choices and honestly tastes so much better than the flash frozen fried options I had in my undergrad years. My go-to are the poke bowl, the pork buns, and crispy tofu. I don't have pictures of the second two because they immediately got inhaled. ALSO, DOG FRIENDLY AND BYOB?!? YES PLEASE!

Awesome Ramen Bowls. Highly recommended. Gluten free and Vegetarian options.

Really cool spot! Food was incredible! We ordered the vegan ramen, bean burger, biscuits and gravy, pork belly ramen and killer tofu - all SUPER flavorful and delicious! The food looked as good as it tasted too, impressive presentations. Cool, relaxed atmosphere and personable staff. Definitely going back, finally something different than every other food joint.
