My family and I were going a little crazy with how monotone the general food scene can be in RI. We were missing Asian cuisine and this place certainly provides that escapism. It’s a great place to chill and be informal. The food uses authentic oils, spices, and sauces, but in a way that was too unbalanced and not manipulated to be authentic cuisine. Perhaps it's more appealing to locals?

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Had an excellent lunch at Boru Noodle Bar. Started with a Pork Belly bun which was great. I had the House Ramen - very tasty - and my wife had Black Garlic Beef Ramen. Service was great and the location on lively Broadway can't be beat. I will come back.

Perfect meal on a cold rainy day. Crispy Brussel sprouts is so pleasing to my taste buds. The black garlic ramen had a strong after taste but I love it, anyhow. Was really a good experience! Must try when in Newport, RI!
