Hard to get poke bowl around here, so I had to try this place. When I walked it, there were only…read moretwo other diners. It had a sort of fast-food type of feel to it, but it was clean and bright. Never been to a Pokemoto before, so I didn't know what their menu was. It's very customizable, but since it was my first time here, I just asked for their miso salmon bowl (I was tied between the Hawaiian bowl and the miso salmon, and the girl making it said she preferred the miso salmon). Along with it, I got a seaweed salad and a mango boba tea. The miso salmon bowl was pretty good. The rice was definitely a calrose variety. It's the closest we come to a Japanese short grain for a US variety...otherwise, more commonly referred to as "sushi rice" in the US. The salmon had good texture and flavor. The miso was pretty good. Enough to give it flavor, but not so much that it overpowers it (I think it was made with a shiro miso, but I could be wrong). The garlic and onion chips gave the flavor some depth and provided texture. I was worried the cilantro could overpower the flavor of the salmon, but it didn't. The mango pieces in it....I'm up in the air about that. It was a more sour mango, and poke bowls definitely need a bit of acid or sour to cut the fattiness, but I found the mango a bit distracting. That said, I'm not sure what I'd use in place of it. The seaweed salad... it was.............okay. I mean, I liked it, but I found it very, very sweet. I feel like a bit less sugar, and a bit more sesame oil. Oh, and some sesame seeds. The mango boba tea... After looking more closely at the menu, I may have just ordered wrong, but, in contrast to the seaweed salad being too sweet, the mango boba tea was not sweet enough. Look, mango is a super sweet fruit, and when you get a dry mango sweetness, it's............weird. It's like this...imagine if you got a cup of watermelon juice, and when you drink it, you get a dry watermelon sweetness to it; like you get with a dry wine. Odd. Additionally, the boba pearls didn't have much flavor, but I didn't request it with the brown sugar pearls, so that's actually probably my fault. The boba tended to clump together, though, which was a bit odd (they don't do that when I make it at home). Overall, I liked it. I'll be honest, it's not the cheapest, but dining out hasn't been cheap since 2019. Was it worth it? Will I dine there again? Definitely. If I still lived in the apartments at the Commons, I'd probably find myself there once a week.

First off, the spam musubi is not traditional Hawaiian style. We do not use sushi rice in Hawaii…read more It really ruined the flavor. The poke bowl wasn't bad though. The ingredients were quite fresh and it's nice to be able to choose what you want to mix together which means if you ate it every day, you could have something different each time. Bubble tea is very sweet, but they are good in moderation. I would try it again for anything but the spam musubi.

I've been to New Wave Kitchen a few times now, as I am always in the mood for a good bowl of ramen…read more The Ramen here is probably the best you can get in the immediate area, and I can confirm it is solid. I ordered the House Ramen and it left me feeling satisfied. The noodles were a perfect texture, had the right amount of chew for me, not overcooked at all. The toppings were all tasty as well, including the flavorful pork. I was only left wanting more from 2 aspect of the bowl - the broth (which is a huge component!) and the egg. This was just a regular soft-boiled egg, not a soy egg, so it didn't have that extra special touch for me. But, back to the broth - while it was good and comforting, I feel it lacked in flavor and mouthfeel. Still good, just underwhelming. However, I do always enjoy the atmosphere at New Wave Kitchen. It's cozy and inviting, an intimate spot to enjoy some comfort food with friends. Bonus points for playing Kiki's Delivery Service while we were there, too! The staff were super friendly during our visit as well. Customers order at the counter here and then food is delivered to your table. The workers were very nice, courteous, and helpful. I am a ramen lover and will gladly return to New Wave Kitchen any time!

I just came here a couple of days ago for a Yelp event (please check that review for my thoughts on…read morethe pork bun and Sapporo-style ramen on their menu). I liked it so much that I decided to come back and dragged my co-worker with me. The interior is sort of a long narrow-ish setup, with seating on one side, and the ordering counter on the other side. Edison-style bulbs lined the area, providing a warm, orange-ish light. Cozy. You walk up to the counter and order. They'll give you a number and bring your order to your table. I ordered the blackened tuna bun and O.G. Miso ramen (with an addition of pork and egg), with a Yuki Tora sake. The tuna bun was tasty. I believe the tuna was aburi torched, and it was topped with carrots, scallions, wakame, and sesame seeds. It also had eel sauce and wasabi, which created a great flavor combination between the piercing spice of wasabi and the sweetness of eel sauce. The O.G. Miso ramen used a miso broth, with carrots, cabbage, shiitake, topped with scallions, sesame seeds, and a piece of nori. And of course, I added pork and an egg to it. I love shiitake in my ramen broth, as it adds a bit of savoriness, and also provides a bit of meaty texture. The miso flavor in this broth is much more prominent compared to the Sapporo-style ramen, however, I found Sapporo-style broth much more complex and balanced. I think what I was missing in this would be a drizzle of sesame oil. I also got a Yuki Tora nigori sake with my meal, which I found I loved from the Yelp event a couple of days ago. One with the meal, and another one as just dessert after the meal. Also convinced my co-worker to try it, and he also liked it. This place is definitely worth the visit. In general, you won't find ramen this good unless you're willing to go into the city and pay as much for an hour's worth of parking as your meal costs.

Rating: 4.3 Came to…read morethe place for lunch with family and friends. We reserved an outside tent for the lunch. It's a nice restaurant located right by the ocean in Narraganset. Complimentary valet parking available along with street parking. Once we got there we were directed to the outside tent seatings. Looks like they have a theme for each one and one we were at was winter themed. Inside was nice and cozy and was quite warm. Once we got seated we looked at the menu and placed order for some drinks and appetizers. We got some oysters and prime rib cheese egg rolls. They were both delicious. Oysters were fresh. I got a non alcoholic drink the country road which was fruity and refreshing. I ended up getting lobster mac and cheese. Lots of lobster meat and cheesy macaronis with bread crumb was tasty. Service was excellent and waiter was very attentive and came to check in multiple times. Overall it's a nice spot for nicer meal. Price is on the higher side but food was pretty good. Outside seating was $100 per group and for 3 hours so not too bad. Downside was that ventilation was poor so it was pretty hot inside and only way to cool down was to keep the door propped open but it was windy day so door kept banging and the next group was doing the same thing. Probably a good idea to put a window on the door or something. Some of the tables were also pretty wobbly which was a but annoying.

I always get the 2-3 protein and the service is always kind and prompt. They are so kind and offer free items when they have too many sides which I've had the pleasure of getting and trying out the extra new menu sides. I can't say it's outstanding but if you're craving some poke bowls, this is my favorite location! There's always plenty seating, never too busy, and clean. They have bathrooms and plenty of utensils and napkins in the side station of the counter.

I appreciate a quick option for a more healthy and balanced meal (protein and veggies bowl…read morebasically) but the chicken was so weird. It was like a marshmallow, it kind of just disappeared in my mouth. It was spongy maybe? I really liked the corn it was actually flavorful and sweet and the teriyaki sauce was good. But def don't get it with a chicken, maybe try shrimp or something. Price wise it was ok, but it's one price no matter what protein you get which did make my chicken and veggies with low rice seem a lot for $15. Honestly, I probably would only come back if I was in that plaza and staving. I will comment that their process of mixing is wasteful and I did not like that. They use disposable trays to mix your food and sauce and then put it in a plastic bowl, regardless if you eat at the store or not. That's using 2 disposable single use products one each and every meal.

I loved the taro tea and the poke bowl. The only thing I would say that was negative is they don't give enough raw fish in the two (2) scoops it comes with (they're tiny), so I was forced to pay for an extra scoop of raw fish to make it plentiful. Also, avocado shouldn't be an extra $1-$1.50 charge as it's supposed to be a core component of a poke bowl. Holy Poke should consider that it's competitors all offer a larger quantity of raw fish and avocado for free, which gives other a leg up on them. That said, the customer service was great, the place was very clean and nice looking and everything was fresh and incredibly delicious!!!

Sometimes, it can be inconsistent depending on who was packing up the order but I still enjoy it nonetheless. I do like their span misubi, its not too saly but I think the spam is like a little thin for the portion of rice. I have tried thier other appetizers like the gyoza, tsunami fries which are good when they're freshly made but perhaps a little dry at other times. Milk teas are okay, I think it's because it's powder flavor tea, its not my favorite. Service: Staff is friendly and quick on getting your order together. Ambiance: It's a much smaller place with perhaps 6 seatings? It's cute inside but I wouldn't hang out for too long.
