Tea service
Stephen H.

Real cute interior for about 15 people. Lots of choices. Shacha was tasty and creamy but light on sprouts and spinach. Tofu was nicely seasoned. Can only remove items and online ordering is limited to one. Can only add noodles extra for $2. Several starters on wall brown paper menu with more to come Love tea service in a real heavy duty fancy pot and china cup. Hope to get back to try other items. No states or dessert this trip Pros: Lots of choices. Ramen was excellent, Service and decor Cons: Parking

Spicy Ramen

I am obsessed with this ramen- it is the best that I have found in the area. The food is always prepared well and the dining space is relaxing and unique. PEOPLE!! Go try Ramen O Bowl- you won't regret it.

Malaysia curry ramen

the malaysian curry ramen was pretty good, but the noodle quantity was small. also the noodles themselves weren't that appealing. service was a tad slow, we spent a lot of time chatting while waiting for food. the ambiance was nice, there was nice chill music going on in the background

For such a large city, Boston has surprisingly few vegan restaurants. Cue Ramen O'Bowl, the city's first ever fully plant-based ramen shop. I stopped by on a Sunday for lunch and was impressed by the menu - there's ramen of course, but there's also smoothies, salads, sushi bowls, and even dessert! I went with the spicy ramen bowl which was indeed spicy! The broth is a lovely bright red and the serving size is generous. My partner ordered the smoked seitan bowl and ate every last bite. I definitely recommend enjoying a Thai tea with your meal. Last, for dessert, we shared the tiramisu, which was absolutely delightful. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

We walked by Ramen O Bowl for months wondering when it'd open, and it's finally here. They had a promotion for a free drink with a ramen or rice bowl purchase, so it was the perfect time to try it out. Walking in, the interior was nice, bright, and clean. I dug the skylight as well. You can order in a few different ways: via a QR code at your table, at one of the machines at the counter, or in-person. The staff was super nice. They did bring the wrong dish to me, but were quick to correct it. I ordered the shoyu ramen and liked the noodles and all of the different things that came with it. Although I'm not a coffee person, the Thai iced coffee was good and something that I'd get again. It hit the spot of not being too sweet or bitter for me. While I'm curious about the other items on the menu, it might take some time for me to get a craving for Ramen O Bowl again. There's a lot of eating options in the area at this price range, and some of them either have an item that I really like or they feel like a better value. In all, I appreciate having a solid vegan place here.

The cuisine was delicious! The noodles' flavor caught me off guard. They went above and beyond what I had anticipated. I returned for lunch twice! All of the ramen joints I've tried in Massachusetts have been decent, but this one is excellent. It's vegan and nearby, and it's my #1 favorite. Simply ideal

Great tasty for a whole vegetarian noodle soup! Enjoy it with empty bowls !! We just look for a quick lunch and enjoy the delicious food

Ramen O' Bowl is finally open. They should have soft opening hours beginning around 7/5 or 7/6. We tried out many of the noodle items on the menu and numerous smoothies plus the green Thai tea. Our favorite noodle dishes were the Schacha ramen soup and the Tahini cold noodles. We also tried many of the spicy ramen soup and cold noodle dishes as well, I liked the Korean cold noodle the best from those, but I will say I don't generally love spicy food. We didn't try any of the dessert or sushi bowls since we've had them all many times at their prior restaurant (Bayberry) and wanted to focus on trying the new items, but I will say their vegan desserts are delicious, the tiramisu is one of my favorites and the sushi bowls are yummy too and use a black forbidden rice mixture. Ruby, the owner, makes her own vegan noodles for the soups and came up with all of the recipes. Please note that the restaurant uses both fresh peanuts and peanut butter in many recipes, so if you are allergic to nuts, please take this in to consideration. The menu doesn't have any ramen dishes currently gf, but many of the sushi bowls and smoothies can accommodate gf dietary requirements.

Malaysia curry ramen

WOW! Best vegan ramen in Cambridge. One of the best vegan ramen bowls I've had in the US, as good if not better than red white on newbury. You're going to love this place. Malaysian Curry Bowl - 5/5. Curry broth was delicious, ramen noodles chewy, and toppings were excellent (soy protein really nice) Coffee Cake - 5/5. Has actual coffee flavor. Ask for it warmed up, really fluffy and airy. Thai Iced Tea - 3.5/5. Was okay! The soy milk flavor was definitely present but overall it was pleasant. Steamed BBQ Buns - 4.5/5. Really soft, light and fluffy!! Felt a little pricey for the portion size, but my girlfriend loved them.

Han Cold Noodles
Meghan G.

Found this little gem while visiting the Harvard Natural History Museum. It's always nice to find a vegan place where you can order anything without worrying about dairy. The chef was also helpful with my husband's allergy. I ordered the cold Han Noodles, which were fresh and had a nice kick. The restaurant was sunny, airy, and modern in ambiance. Wonderful service and delicious food. I would definitely visit again!

Ruby the proprietor of this restaurant was open for a special Xmas buffet. She featured some of her favorite recipes. Everything was super tasty with a special shout out to the fresh cucumber avocado and sweet potato sushi rolls, the stir fry vegetable ramen with home made brown noodles and the mango curry - a perfect combination of sweet and spicy. The seitan was yummy and took on the flavors of the various dishes she made. Cambridge is lucky to have this reasonably priced clean tasty vegan restaurant. Ruby owned a vegan restaurant in Woburn for 6 years prior to opening ramen o bowl in Cambridge.

Very friendly service and good food. The steamed dumplings and bbq steamed buns were the surprise stars of the meal. The ramen was good and the vegetables especially fresh. The space was cute and well air-conditioned.

It was crispy on the outside and really good with the ramen. We also tried some of the sushi, which was okay. Nothing particularly stood out to me, but it was still decent. I'd probably stick with the ramen and karaage next time since those were definitely the highlights for us. Service was good too! Everyone was friendly and attentive, and overall we had a nice experience. Would come back when I'm craving ramen!

After a long day at HBS we went back over the river to dine at Bosso Ramen. Located across the…read morestreet from the Harvard Commons, Bosso is an izakaya-style restaurant featuring ramen. On a wet, rainy Boston evening we thought hot ramen would be just the thing. The menu is built around locally-sourced ingredients structured in three categories: sharable, sushi, and ramen. They also offer a slate of Japanese beers and Nihonshu. We started with hot Nihonshu but the only choice served warm is Gekkeikan. Now, Gekkeikan is a standard Nihonshu which is a good, if not great, rice wine. And while Gekkeikan started in Kyoto, anything served in the US with its label is actually brewed in California. We wanted the Nambu Bijin served warm but were told that was not an option. Nanbu Bijin is a great varietal from Iwate Prefecture which was our preference. It's odd that this is only offered chilled. We really urge the management to serve all of its Nihonshu warmed. For shareables we ordered the shishito, spicy salmon, and torotaku. The shishito were nicely roasted and served with a light ponzu. The quality of the peppers was eceptional and the serving was generous. The sushi is served as a hand held wrapped in nori and features tsukemono. The spicy salmon was an amply portioned but the torotaku was a bit lean in terms of quantity. Having said which, all three apps were tasty and of superior quality. Bosso offers a compelling number of Ramens that differentiate not on broth, which is customary, but on degree of spice and the choice of meats. The broth here is a superb tonkotsu that would pass muster in Sapporo. Bosso also offers just one size which, in the event, was a more than satisfactory serving. We both opted for the umami version which is generously portioned with scallions and kikurage. The boiled egg was done to perfection - that happy place between a hard and soft boiled yolk. The pok was tasty but was wanting in terms of quantity. Each bowl included two very thin slices. At the end of the day, a great ramen should have more pork - either chasu or kakuni - so we found this to be a disappointment. Our server is from Shizuoka and we enjoyed hearing of her journey from Japan to Cambridge. She was attentive without being obtrusive. The interior is dark and practical and somewhat reminiscent of some of the great hole in the wall ramen shops we frequented in Tokyo. Overall, despite some blemishes, Bosso was an enjoyable meal and we will definitely make our way back in the future. It is busy so we recommend making reservations.

Waku Waku Ramen in Harvard Square is a cozy little ramen spot with a darker, more intimate interior…read morethat gives it a comfortable neighborhood feel. We walked into a space that is on the smaller side, but the layout makes it feel warm and inviting, with a nice upstairs seating area that adds a little extra charm. The lighting is soft, and the overall atmosphere encourages settling in for a warm meal rather than rushing through a quick stop. The menu has a good variety of Japanese comfort food beyond just ramen, including bao buns, karaage, gyoza, and sushi-inspired dishes. The ramen selection includes options like miso tonkotsu, signature ramen, lobster ramen, and mushroom ramen. The bowls are hearty and come with generous toppings, making it a solid choice when you are looking for something filling on a colder day. We tried the miso tonkotsu, and the broth had a rich, savory depth that paired well with the noodles and toppings, though the flavor can vary depending on what you order. Some bowls have a richer depth while others feel lighter, so choosing the right broth matters. The bao buns and appetizers are also worth exploring if you want to try more than one item, with the karaage offering a crispy, juicy contrast to the heavier ramen bowls. Service adds to the experience, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that makes the small space feel more personal. The staff checked in at the right moments and kept the pacing of the meal comfortable without hovering. It is the type of place that works well for a casual lunch, a quick dinner, or warming up with a bowl of ramen after walking around Cambridge. Waku Waku is a solid ramen option in Harvard Square, especially when you are craving a cozy bowl rather than a more formal dining experience. The portions are generous, the atmosphere is inviting, and the menu covers enough ground to satisfy both ramen cravings and a wider range of Japanese comfort food.

Four words: spicy cold niku udon. The signature is also good!…read more I've been a fan of Yume ever since I found out about it when I went to Tufts for college. It was the Asian-American community's go-to spot for dine-in, take-out, or both! This was back when they had their location in the Lesley University food court too - people would be lining up for 30+ minutes to get a coveted seat at one of their humble seats. I look fondly on when they would yell "perfect" whenever I finished my bowl, praising how I slurped every freshly cut udon noodle and devoured every ounce of broth or crispy tempura bit they put in there. The new location is just a few stores down, still in/out of the Lesley University mall area. It has a nice ambiance and feels less cramped. While I miss the "perfect" yelling, the flavor still tastes just as good even if it's gotten an insane amount of hype since then. Would highly recommend ordering takeout if you're in a rush - they do it very efficiently, both at the original Cambridge location and the new Seaport location too. I'm so happy for all of their success!

On Thursday around 2:30pm, we came and got greeted and seated quickly (no line!)…read more Just to preface, I know they're best known for their cold udon, but fall is starting and I really wanted to have broth! So, I ordered the spicy hot Niki udon and my bf ordered the hot Niki udon. The spicy one was good. I know the bowl looks red and scary but I promise it's not actually that spicy- just enough for a little kick. Broth was flavorful and has good balance of savory/spicey/just a bit of sweetness. However, my bf's non-spicy wasn't as good. The broth was weirdly a little too sweet? It also kinda reminds me of a curry broth which we weren't expecting. He wasn't happy with his broth and preferred my spicy broth. Besides the broth, the actual items in the soup were delicious. The noodles are very thick, slightly bouncy (but not as bouncy as I prefer) and taste fresh. They give you a good portion of beef which is tender. There are probably like 2 tbsp of green onions which was amazing bc I love green onion! And the green onions weren't spicy, just fresh. I think what really leveled the bowl up was the pieces of tempura which added a nice texture. I actually finished my whole bowl and didn't need a takeout container which rarely happens. So each bowl is enough for like one serving (do not share!). There is an open kitchen type situation so I could kind of peak over the counter and see the chefs. They played music on a volume louder than average, but there were good songs. Overall, I would not recommend the hot Niki udon but the spicy Niki udon is great. I do want to try their infamous cold udon which is broth-less. Service was quick and staff were very nice.

What can I say, authenticity at its finest for this very limited seat establishment. We loved it!…read moreThe house ramen and two spicy Tonkotsu ramens were all perfectly prepared. The pork was very tender and did Not have that butane flavored char! Very important I despise when they hit it with those portable flame throwers to get color on the pork, it harms the flavor of the whole plate of ramen, broth and all! The egg yolk was perfectly soft, the noodles were done with the proper amount of chewy tenderness. ZERO CORN is a must for Tonkotsu ramen because corn takes over the flavor of the broth! Corn is to dominate a flavor. Also plenty of chopped scallions and the wood ear mushrooms are julienne! Finally the way I had them in Kagoshima. I just find the wood ear mushroom to be very difficult to chew texture wise when they are left whole of rough chopped. A+ Ramen! I also ordered a small $6.00 bowl of thinly sliced slightly sweet sukiyaki style beef (gyu don) over rice. I ended up ordering two more to go. What a deliciously tender morsel this appetizer was. Along with a matching bowl of crispy chicken over rice, basically chicken Karage over rice, again, for six bucks, it was a delicious no brainer. The staff were sweet and attentive, as busy as they were handling foot traffic and probably twice as many door dash orders it was all very coordinated chaos. At any given time there were consistently 6 to 8 orders ready for pickup on the take out counter the entire time I was there. So they are moving product big time.
