    Sesame Ice Cream
    Julie P.

    I went as part of a group of 4 for dinner. We shared some tempura shrimp, salmon, and dumplings to start. The tempura shrimp was delicious! As a main, I got katsu pork and it was delicious and a good size. I didn't even eat the rice that came with it. The presentation was also beautiful. I tried my husband's ramen, and really enjoyed the flavors in that dish as well. We finished with sesame ice cream, which was served on a very cute fish dish. We also had some Yuzu Honey tea, which was a lovely addition to the meal. Splitting a pot between two worked well, but it could also be easily finished by one. We were catching up with friends and the servers were very attentive and didn't rush us out when we were chatting after the meal.

    If you're a vegetarian, I'd suggest skipping this restaurant. Went in last night for dinner wanting a soup because it was cold out. The server said there was really only one option on the menu for vegetarians which is what I ordered. The food is served luke warm and for $15 I'm pretty sure I could have made this same dish at home for much cheaper and probably better. It has a spicy chili oil on the side that you mix in along with the pickled radish which was more salty than pickled tasting. One bunch of noodles wasn't properly cooked and clumped at a section. I consider myself pretty good eating with chopsticks and the slippery noodles proved to be quite difficult to eat. Not a good option if you're on a date and maybe concerned with how you will look eating this dish. Probably the saving grace of the dish was the mushrooms which allowed me to give this place 3 stars. I will not be back to this restaurant. I only ordered a hot water with a lemon for a drink. No lemon was given, only a chipped little cup (pictured), and the restaurant was freezing. I kept my coat on the entire time. The menu is really tiny. I suggest looking at the menu before going and really making sure there is something you want to try before going. Rookie mistake made on my end!

    A very good ramen! Went for a late lunch on Sunday. We got seated quickly and the service was quick the whole time. Everything was very well cooked and flavorful! The seasoning on top of the tofu was my favorite part!

    Stopped by for a quick meal before a show at ppac; first time at pvd noodle. Its a very small place, not a lot of tables. Mostly bar style seating, you might end up between strangers with little space. The wait staff is friendly and quick. I asked for suggestions on something that would be ready quick since i was heading to a show. I got the pvd chicken ramen, big bowl, tasty and warm. Not only does it come with a skewer of chicken but it also had pieces of chicken in the broth. Will def go back to try other items.

    Delightful dinner with hubby at PVD Noodle Bar with the new summer menu! My favorite appetizer, agedashi tofu, is sadly off the menu for the time being but I tried a bunch of fishies - mackerel, shrimp, smelts & salmon tataki. Hubby went with his favorite: PVD Chicken Ramen & kicked it up into a highly spicy version! We tried the Yuzu Pilsner (good but we don't need to order again) & the matcha ice cream (YUMMM!). They changed their hours so no lunch service but now are open every night for dinner except Wednesday. NOM NOM NOM

    Never disappointed with the food at PVD Noodle Bar. Their Agedashi Tofu is literally the ONLY tofu I will eat... in fact, I actually crave it sometimes. They have an assortment of starters, all delicious, and both cold and hot noodle dishes for every taste. They also have add-ons, like tempura shrimp, to elevate your meal. Dessert consists of two types of ice cream, black sesame seed or green matcha. They serve sake and and have a relatively large cocktail list. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity of food received. Service is always good. The restaurant is cozy and their serving dishes are beautiful. I would like to see a larger selection of wine, as they currently only serve Prosecco.

    Their chicken ramen was really yummy and comforting on a cold day, but what really impressed me was their dessert!

    Had to try this place. I have read the Yelp reviews and it is so close to PPAC. My wife and I decided to have dinner before the show. We had no reservation but we sat at the bar around 6 PM on a Saturday. I will say the conclusion first - I definitely recommend the Sumo Katsudon. As the name suggests, the portions are huge. I was able to finish only half of it. The rest became my lunch the next day. The presentation is interesting and new twist to a popular classics you find in Japan. The next time here, I will try other dishes. The katsudon dish came with a big portion of thick cut, very tender pork cutlet, served over egg brown sauce and rice. The presentation was similar to "omu rice" you find in a restaurant in Japan, where seasoned rice is wrapped inside omelette, sits in a shallow bath of brown sauce. Perhaps, that is where the inspiration for the Sumo Katsu came from. I think it is a clever and great presentation. The only thing that subtracted from the perfect 5 was the condiments on the side. I was not wild about the grape tomatoes, pickled onion and some sort of chimi. Those condiments came with every dish - sort of shame because we did not like them. My wife had the chicken ramen. The broth was very flavorful with lots of umami, but the noodle was so so in my opinion. This is just my personal preference to have Sapporo style noodles. Some folks I am sure will like the noodle that came with this ramen. One thing I did expect and I am not sure if it worked - the chicken was presented to us like yakitori in a skewer. Also, the toppings were on separate demi dish. I guess if you want to pick and choose which toppings you want, it is clever presentation, but inconvenient when you just want to dig in and slurp your noodles. It is a tight space and hard to get a table on weekends. Plan ahead.

    Last Providence food review for a while, but I had a blast going to Providence Noodle Bar located at 187 Mathewson St, Providence, RI 02903. For a cocktail, we tried their Strawberry Seoul ($8.00) . It includes Rooibos Tea, Vanilla Bean Syrup, Lemon Juice, Strawberry Purée, Ginger Ale, and Soju. You can choose your sweetness level: low, medium, or high. It's also available as a mocktail. I loved how refreshing this was! For food, we got the Ika Ponzu Salad ($7.00) . It features blanched calamari, edamame, marinated cherry tomato, pickled red onion, cilantro, spring mix salad, ponzu sauce, and yuzu kosho. Everyone loved this dish--an easy 10/10. We tried their spicy scallion noodles --these were sooooo good! I need to know where to buy these types of noodles. Easily the star dish, 10/10. We got to try their PVD Chicken Ramen ($16.00) . It includes confit chicken, ramen noodles, chicken karaage skewer, house-made shoyu chicken broth, onsen egg, scallion onion, wood ear mushroom, toasted seaweed, and spicy miso paste. Loved the ramen, and the chicken was delicious. 9/10. We had their Chashu Don --pork belly chashu served over rice with spicy shichimi aioli, lemon, and pickled ginger as sides. The pork literally glistened and had amazing flavor. 9/10. Finally, we got to try their soba noodles . Loved this, and the broth had great flavor. 8/10. This is an awesome spot, and it's also not very expensive. If you are in the mood and need to fulfill your noodle cravings, check it out! Overall: Food: 10/10 Affordability: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10

    Decent noodle bar in the heart of Providence, Pvd Noodle Bar offers a lot of different noodles. LOCATION: Street parking only with a few garages close by, Pvd is located in a quiet side street but easy to find. SPACE: A cozy restaurant with a few tables and bar seating. There is a large table for either large groups or serves as a table to share with other small parties. MENU: As the restaurant name suggests, they offer many noodle dishes; from soba to udon to ramen. There are also a few apps as well! FOOD: I ordered the udon with egg and shrimp tempura. The udon was too hard for liking - I think they needed to cook it 30 seconds longer. My partner liked his spicy scallion noodles. My favorite part of the meal was the marinated egg so I highly recommended adding that to any dish. For apps, we went with the potato croquette and it was very flavorful. THOUGHTS: Decent food and great vibes! I've had better udon but would definitely come back to try other noodle dishes. The chicken ramen seemed very popular!

    Kay D.

    Ambiance 5/5 Food 2.5/5 Service 4/5 Service was good, the curry udon was honestly flavorless and the paneer was kind of odd. The soba was soba. The chicken ramen was arguably the most flavorful - but it honestly wasn't that good either ... The chicken skewers were relatively good. The picked onions were good. The tea was pretty watery.

We were sadly in a rush and had to be out by a certain time to catch a show, and our server understood the assignment and got us out on the tight schedule we needed. I'm just sad I had to slurp down my soup so quickly as it was absolutely DELICIOUS! I ordered the Snow Mountain Ramen - the creamy tofu broth is unlike anything I've had and was so so unique and delicious. I thought about it for at least a week straight after eating it and am still dying to go back to get more. I also got the Iced Rose Matcha drink - $10 felt too pricy for this but I wanted a fun drink and a little caffeine kick - and again the flavors were unique and tasty. Both my friend and I happened to see someone we knew here - it's definitely a popular spot! It was packed on a Saturday night but it was still pretty quick for us to get a table for 2. Being a downtown city restaurant, the tables feel a bit cramped and I was a little too close to the table next to me for comfort - claustrophobics beware (honestly the soup is worth it though!!) Parking is pretty easy in the lot, although Holy crap they need to fix the potholes / harsh drop-off where it meets the street, and it still was not fully plowed many weeks after the big snowstorm (it's a shared lot so not a Y Noodle specific issue, but just saying). The only thing that was unpleasant were the bathrooms - I get it was a busy weekend night, but they reeked of a litter box the second you stepped in, the floor was dirty and very wet with unknown substances, and the Dyson hand dryer is at such a weird, too high level on the wall that it sprayed water in my face. Everything else was a dream, can't wait to go back! Hopefully the bathrooms were just a fluke.

With that in mind, there's nothing else I could imagine other than a hot bowl of ramen. Located about 1.7 miles or a 7min drive away, I was excited. Upon pulling up to the front of the building, you can drive slightly further down SE and park in the small lot with several spots. I actually don't remember anything about the interior to comment much. I was laser focused on getting food in my tummy. We ordered; Tan Tan Men ; a bowl of ramen with spicy pork miso broth. this absolutely hit the spot. it was deliciously salty and full of umami, and the toppings were just right, and I inhaled it in minutes Fried Calamari ; another excellent dish. the calamari was nice and crispy and the meat was tender. couldn't have been done any better. the mango chili puree sauce was also very good and something I haven't had before Tako Yaki ; I'm not sure if I need to say anything about this. it's about as yummy and expected of a properly-done tako yaki as you would expect Karaage ; this one was actually pretty upsetting with how bad it was. the chicken seemed like it was very overcooked - the skin was hard and crunchy instead of crispy, the meat was not juicy, and honestly the portions of these chicken bites were pitiful. I even sent a snap to a friend and she felt bad for me. the flavor was also immensely salty. it came with spicy mayo (which was actually spicy! that never happens!) and a tonkatsu sauce, but honestly I was desperately in need of something sweet like ketchup or honey. Wife and I ate a total of 3 pieces. Our waiter was very apologetic and asked multiple times if we wanted it re-done or if we wanted something else, but we were already pretty content by the time we could air our complaints. To my satisfaction, he removed the karaage from the bill. Despite the miss, the customer service and the quality of the other foods makes it easy for me to still give the place full stars.

This…read morefamily-run restaurant has only been open about a year, but it already feels like an established part of the local dining scene. A nice space. We began with spring rolls (VERY good - chicken and shrimp) and sake, and the sake program deserves special mention. We selected a very enjoyable $38 bottle and noticed several other bottles at lower price points, along with a wide selection of canned sake--many around $11. Some diners may balk at paying that much for a can, but they will happily pay more for a mediocre glass of wine at half the volume. The value here is actually quite good, especially for those looking to explore sake beyond the ordinary. Our entrées--the ramen and chicken katsu--were excellent. The ramen featured a rich, deeply satisfying broth, while the chicken katsu was perfectly crisp on the outside and tender within. If you want a "hotter " ramen - the have an add on for a buck. Service was warm and attentive, reflecting the pride that often comes with a family-owned business. The atmosphere is relaxed and unpretentious, allowing the quality of the food to take center stage. Bristol is fortunate to have Sakuratani. Strong Japanese dining options can be hard to find outside larger cities, and for a restaurant only a year old, they seem to be doing many things right. We look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu--and their sake offerings. Highly recommended.
