Wara Wara Restaurant

Good food, great service, definitely a local ramen hotspot! Recommendations: check the board above for some very good specials. Pictured here are the lobster buns and the octopus appetizer. Also try the saki flight to test a few different one.

🍜I would like to start off by saying that our server was really friendly and helpful, and the portions and quality of food here was appropriate to the pricing on the menu. But in my personal experience the food here is far from authentic Japanese ramen. The 30 hour ramen was yummy but tasted more like a wonton soup if anything and the toppings of the ramen also felt a bit odd. No chashu, no bamboo shoots, no spring onions, and the seeweed felt more like an afterthought than a component to the ramen. But overall it’s a solid restaurant with solid food and reasonable prices, perhaps not the most authentic🫤

We had lunch here on a Saturday. There were very few other customers around 1PM, so it was easy to get a table for two without waiting. Inside, the decor is eye-catching. In particular, the pendant fixtures hanging from the ceiling, which look like giant sea urchins made out of straw or fine twigs. In combination with the beautiful mural, the effect is dramatic. The two ramens that we ordered were both excellent. The first was a lobster ramen special ($24) with lobster broth, lobster meat, mushrooms, corn, bean sprouts, egg, spinach, fried basil, lemon, and tempura flakes. It had a rich umami flavor and is one of the better ramens I can remember ever eating. There was more lobster meat than I expected. The second ramen was the shio ($15), which had chicken and was also very good. If you’re running errands around the Hope neighborhood on a weekend, Wara Wara seems like a great option to stop for lunch before continuing on with your weekend plans.

This place is amazing. Food is great, the service is great, and it's a cute uniquely decorated place. Low lights and nice atmosphere. I love the Bento meals. But everything is really good. One of few restaurants worth me going to multiple times. It's a favorite of our family. I highly recommend it. They're dribks are delicious as well. I loved the plum sake. My favorite sake I've tried.

I’ve been here about 5+ times and it never disappoints. It’s a great place to take your significant other or friends to enjoy small plates, crafted martinis, and great conversation. Their take out and ramen is top notch as well. During my last visit, the plates came out as they were made which indicated that the cooks were detail oriented with flavor and presentation. The plates arrived table side at an appropriate pace and Amanda did an excellent job with reading our table and providing exceptional service. Will return! Great location and easy to find safe street parking. Also, kid friendly.

The ramen never disappoints!! My favorite app is takoyaki and the black garlic ice cream was surprisingly delicious !!

Excellent Place in Providence. They have a plethora of vegan/ vegetarian options for appetizers. There were really tasty. Tried the cauliflowers, mushroom, eggplant and buns.
