I have been dreading writing this review, because as much as I wanted to love this place - I probably had one of the worst eating experiences ever. Swung by this place on a weekday for lunch to avoid the rush - most weekends I pass by this place and the line wraps around the street! My friend and I stepped in and were immediately greeted with a sour attitude. We were confused on the menu whether our ramen included chili oil or not, and the staff did not help explain anything and just quickly dismissed our questions to get us to order quicker. Once we sat down, the food was done relatively quickly. However I was very surprised on what we had gotten. Now I admit - I am not a vegetarian. However, I have enjoyed many vegetarian meals and this was quite upsetting. We both got the garlic miso ramen. The ramen was not temperature hot at all. The chili oil was not flavorful. The "soy meat" was simply just mushed tofu with awful texture, and it soaked into the soup and created a pretty unpleasant texture (I took a picture which makes me sad and unappetized). I was unable to finish my bowl. The food combined with the service made for a pretty negative time for me. I really wanted to love it - a place with a full vegetarian menu is amazing for all my friends who have that restriction! Maybe if they tried pan frying the tofu create a better textural experience? I will not plan to come back, and will highly recommend you go to any other restaurant in Back Bay.
Excellent place!! It's a very casual restaurant with chill vibes, order at counter service. It's fully vegetarian restaurant and can cater to gluten free options which was helpful as someone with celiac disease. There are about 6 or so ramen broth options, and I've tried the miso and red hot miso. Broth was so savory and delicious. Gluten free version comes with rice noodles and without the fried toppings (fried onions). I ate from here 3 times during my 5 day Boston trip. I also brought along a bunch of carnivores and they also really enjoyed the dishes, and were interested in returning. Excellent food, and wish there was a location close to me in Houston. Look forward to going back on future trips!
I haven't tried many vegan or vegetarian ramen dishes, but this was definitely one of the best! The flavors, textures, and combination of ingredients--plus that perfect kick that means you don't even need to ask for hot sauce (I'm sure you wouldn't even realize the food is vegan). It's a small spot, so I imagine it's not easy to get a table without waiting during peak hours. Personally, I wish it were better lit or had different lighting--it felt a bit dark for my taste--but if you want privacy and a chance to really enjoy your meal, this is the place for you.
Okay straight up, this place is getting 5 stars due to their unique approach to ramen. They keep it simple with only a set amount of variations, and they're great flavors to be honest. But throwing a cloche on top of it and adding a smokiness was a surprising add that earned the fifth star. It's clear that there's a significant following, as there's signs asking folks to depart their table after 45 minutes so they can flip the table over. So don't come expecting a leisurely meal... come to try something new and different. It's well worth it... except for the yuzu Diet Coke. While I appreciate adding citrus to coke, I've learned this is not a pairing for me despite my love of Yuzu.
Delicious vegan ramen, with less of a wait than I expected (maybe 20 minutes). The space was small (I wouldn't come with more than a group of 6, and even that would be pushing it), but the whole place smelled so good! The ordering experience was a little odd, but the food came out very quickly. I got the truffle ramen with the spicy broth, and it was very good (which was not really spicy, simply well seasoned), and quite filling. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. One of us got the non-spicy broth, and she noted that she thought the spicy broth was better (and again, not truly spicy at all), so I'd just keep that in mind when ordering. I also got the truffle mac & cheese, which I was pleasantly surprised by! It was pretty good, and came with some sort of delectable crunchies on top which I was obsessed with. I haven't had much ramen since I became vegan, so I don't really have any other vegan ramen to compare it to, but it's certainly some of the best I've had so far.
Went for ramen and we got the Japanese curry and the garlic miso. It was okay, the meat is minced/crushed? Not used to that. Service is order at the front and pick up and eat at the table. It's small and intimate and dark. Overall it was just alright. The broth didn't feel like it was very depthful. 6/10.
RedWhite is a vegan Japanese restaurant on Newbury Street known for its flavorful ramen. The ambiance inside is pretty cramped and dark, plus our wait time was long. We also had to wait outside since there wasn't room inside the restaurant. Additionally, they have a policy where you must order 1 dish per person or they will not seat you. You order at the front and then are seated with a beeper to pick up your food. The menu is pretty limited, but the dishes was overall seasoned nicely. The Spicy Roasted Miso Avocado Sushi Roll was better than the roasted miso avocado sushi since the best part of the dish was the spicy crumble on top. However, the sushi was oddly sized (too big for one bite, but too small and fell apart for 2 bites). The ramen was also differently flavored. The garlic was too overpowering and the texture of the noodles to other vegetables in the dish was offputting to me. However, all the dishes were presented/plated well. I probably wouldn't go back, but it was conveniently located.
Overall, I'd rate it around a 2.5-3. A piece of me wants to try a different ramen, but also not a place I would run to. Also, rounding up to 3 because of the whole menu being catered to vegan ramen! We tried Red White Boneless Ramen after seeing the long lines outside so often, and we were glad to walk right in and grab a seat around 6:30 on a Monday (there was a line by the time we left). The staff was friendly, and the restaurant had a busy, energetic feel. We ordered the mac and cheese, Japanese curry ramen, red hot miso ramen, and spicy roasted miso avocado rolls. We definitely ordered with our stomachs when it came to the mac and cheese, and while I appreciate the vegan concept, as someone who eats and loves cheese, it just wasn't my favorite. The ramen was good overall, and portions were generous, but I was surprised by how sweet both broths were. Even with chili oil, there was still a noticeable sweetness that wasn't quite what I was expecting from ramen. The spicy roasted miso avocado rolls were probably my least favorite after the mac and cheese. They were a bit mushy in texture and also had a sweet flavor. I can see why people enjoy it, and I appreciate having a fully vegan ramen spot, but some of the flavor profiles didn't quite land with me. Glad I tried it, though.
Yum!! As two non-pork eaters we were so curious to try out a ramen shop that specializes in non-pork ramen (rather than getting the veggie/chicken option at a pork broth speciality place). This place makes you forget you're not eating meat! Everything tastes so rich and delicious. We love getting the miso ramen. Service is a bit slow I'd say and seating is only inside so it's very minimal. On a Friday night it can get quite packed. The interior is dimly lit and the tables next to you are pretty close when sitting inside. I'd probably pass on their sushi! It's a bit expensive for what it is and isn't much to write home about.
Came here right before it got really busy, so we got lucky and could order and get a table immediately. Inside, I wasn't expecting the darker interior ambience, but didn't mind it. It was straightforward to order at the counter, get a beeper, and wait to pick up the food. It was a bit crowded and a bit difficult to navigate through with the food, but was manageable. I got a regular yuzu sesame ramen, which I enjoyed overall. The flavor was great and I enjoyed the noodles. I did wish that it was more substantial, maybe more tofu or other add-ons without needing to add anything extra. Overall, not a bad vegan/vegetarian option if you're able to avoid a long wait!
Redwhite was the best sushi I have had this year, while it seems like just 4 pieces, they're dense and heavy! Absolutely delicious though, we paired it with a No 7 Japanese Curry Ramen which was splendid too. It is a self service restaurant that has limited seating so just a heads up that you may have to wait, but trust me it's worth the wait!
After a long day checking out two museums in Cambridge, MA, my daughter and I ventured to Boston and she ended up finding REDWHITE. Coming here worked out great especially since we were in the area when the place I originally planned for had already closed. Honestly, this turned out to be such a better discovery. REDWHITE's inside is kind of wild. You walk in and it's pitch-black: walls and ceiling- except for this soft glow around. It's small, too. Like small small. Which means yes, you're lining up outside for a bit- especially on weekends. But the line moves fast. They have little signs on the walls letting you know of the 45 mins limit to eat during busy times, which at first made me do a double-take but honestly, it works. You're in, you eat, you enjoy, you go. No hard feelings. You order up front, pay and they hand you one of those buzzer/light-up things. Ours went off pretty quickly. The staff is super friendly without giving you that "please leave" energy. Even when the place is packed, they're calm and they're friendly. Even as two pescatarians, the kid and I thought this vegan ramen is freaking amazing.
Date night at REDWHITE Boston. My boyfriend and I chose this spot purely based on the vibes and the long line we saw while strolling down Newbury Street. I'll preface by saying we didn't realize it was a vegan restaurant beforehand, and if we had known, we probably wouldn't have stopped in -- but not knowing this fact we decided to give it a try anyway. We waited about 45 minutes outside before ordering. At REDWHITE, you order at the counter first and then grab a table once one opens up. Tables are limited to 45 minutes, which made sense because the turnover was constant -- as soon as one table cleared, someone who had just ordered took it. Even when we left, there was still a line. I ordered the No. 9 Truffle Salt, my boyfriend got the No. 5, and we shared the Roasted Miso Avocado roll. After ordering, we waited about another 10 minutes for our food. The bowls were very different from each other, with different broths and noodles, though both included tofu. I didn't mind it, but my boyfriend wasn't a fan. Overall, I did enjoy my ramen, though it's definitely an acquired taste. That said, I'm not sure I'd wait over an hour again for this dish alone, but it was still a fun experience. The cozy basement atmosphere was perfect for a cold night. Shoutout to the staff as well -- they were clearly working incredibly hard to keep everything running smoothly, especially the guy who was single-handedly bussing tables and keeping the flow moving. All in all, a fun experience with high-quality food, even if the flavors didn't fully click for us.
I was in the area & thought about where I could go for a quick snack before dinner and remembered REDWHITE had a sushi roll I've been wanting to try. I came here solo on a Friday night. I actually think this would be the perfect spot to solo dine! It was busy for Friday night dinner but I managed to grab a table for 1. First you order by the entrance & after ordering, they you a table to sit + bring your order to your table when it's ready. You have around 40 min max to eat (when it's busy). I ordered just the Spicy Roasted Miso Avocado Sushi Roll (4 pieces), ~$10. This served as a great snack! It was flavorful, but of course had no meat because they do vegan dishes + ramen here. I remember coming here before, a while ago, and not being the biggest fan of their ramen. Not really because it was meatless but the broth was a bit too thick for my own personal liking. So, I would definitely come back again and get this avocado roll! I might consider trying their ramen again too. Staff were very kind! read more

Hi Lizzie,…
Absolutely top-notch vegan ramen. Coming from Vancouver, BC, where we have a killer (vegan-friendly) ramen scene, I am a tough customer for ramen when visiting elsewhere. But this place completely lives up. 6 different ramens, $17.95 for the regular bowls. I was recommended the red hot miso ramen, a spicy option. You order up at the counter, and they give you a buzzer that buzzes when your ramen is ready to grab at the counter. The ramen was ready in under 10 minutes. First, the broth was remarkably complex and rich, with an endless depth that never became too overbearing -- perfect. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well, served up in a decent portion. Toppings-wise, you get tofu, soy crumble, corn, arugula, and sprouts, along with plenty of sesame seeds. I would've liked some proper greens (other than a few raw arugula leafs), but that's the most minor of complaints. Service was decent enough -- informative and helpful in describing the options. All in all, top-notch vegan ramen. Highest recommendation. read more

Hi Michelle,…
I'm extremely disappointed in REDWHITE and would not recommend it to anyone. I came here with a coworker last year while in town for a conference and remembered really liking it, though I had forgotten that I needed to pour in quite a lot of red pepper flake packets to get my ramen spicy. I thought maybe it was an off day, or maybe I had just forgotten to order it spicy. This time, I rushed from the train station, excited to come back since I'm in town for a few days. The host was extremely rude and impatient while I was deciding what to order. I specifically asked for my ramen "spicy," and she assured me they could "make any ramen spicy." When my ramen came, there was no discernible spice whatsoever. I asked for extra spice, and they gave me la-yu (chili oil). I almost never use la-yu because it upsets my stomach and adds needless calories, but I went with it, trusting their judgment. It did absolutely nothing. I even tasted the la-yu directly, and it was somehow less spicy than the ramen itself. No spice whatsoever, truly. At that point, I added a hot sauce packet I had in my bag--still mild. I asked for red pepper flakes, and the server kept pointing at the menu saying it was $2, and that the first portion was free but after that I'd have to pay. I explained that I had ordered spicy, didn't get it, and the extra spice they gave me wasn't spicy either. He just repeated that I'd have to pay, even though the menu said nothing about this. Meanwhile, I still hadn't received what I ordered. By then I was furious, and my stomach hurt from the oil. I ended up dumping about 20 packets of black pepper from my backpack into the bowl (yes, really), and it was still barely spicy. I forced myself to finish what turned out to be disgustingly oily, bland ramen. I will never come back here and will no longer recommend it. The food was not what I ordered, the staff was rude and unhelpful, and the experience was miserable from start to finish. read more

Thank you, El, for sharing your feedback. We understand that spice…
Came here on a complete whim and man, best decision I've made in a long time! The ramen was amazing! I went for the spicy Miso and it had such depth of flavor. The spiciness was perfect, enough to feel it intensely yet still able to enjoy and taste every flavor. The service was really efficient. You place your order, pay, grab an (assigned) table with a buzzer, then grab food when ready. Put tray in the rack when you leave. They really have an awesome system figured out. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I also tried a miso roll and feel it was a bit meh. The flavor was just a little bland for me, kinda underwhelming sushi. Glad I tried it but would probably skip next time. Intimate vibe in the sense that it's very small so it feels cozy. Seems more of a place for a quick meal although there were definitely people taking their time. It felt hard to justify hanging out for too long because the people in line have to wait until a table frees up. I'd say there are only a dozen tables or so. I'll totally come back here again soon and try more ramen flavors. A lot of people seemed to be ordering the garlic one, so guessing that one is amazing too. read more

While on vacation in Boston, my partner and I sought out this spot based on Yelp reviews. The area where it is located is nice - lots of shops and restaurants/eateries. The ambience of the place is dark and hip with low lights and just a few tables. Their set up is efficient - your order at the counter and you pick it up at same place when it's ready. I've had my fair share of awesome ramen from Northern/Southern California and this place is up there as one of the best! I got the yuzu one and my partner er got the spicy miso ramen. The broth is thick and rich and noodles just rights - so yummy! Definitely will go back to this place when we are in Boston again! Also, idk about anybody else but I also want to mention that their restroom is clean - this is important to me because it means they care about the cleanliness of their entire establishment. read more

Terrible service, average food at best (vegetarian ramen?!) - would absolutely not recommend nor come back. Our group waited almost an hour between getting seated and getting our food - it was 9:40pm when we started eating, giving us 20 minutes to eat before they closed at 10pm. The waiter warned us that we'd be kicked out at that time - while we thought this was unfair, we followed suit and started packing up to-go boxes around 5 mins. before closing. What was completely unacceptable was how rude, unprofessional, and plain mean the waiter was - once it hit 10pm, he had a horrible attitude, tapping his watch and yelling at us to leave. We were already rushing to finish our food and pack it up before closing, but he was totally unreasonable. This was an overall terrible experience, and the food did not make up for it one bit. read more

I stumbled upon this place with a friend while walking down Newbury Street, not realizing it was a vegetarian restaurant until I saw corn and leafy greens in my ramen. I've been a hater of vegetarian food for 21 years, but this place completely changed my mind. The No. 9 Truffle Salt was packed with flavor and the noodles were perfectly chewy. I didn't leave a single drop of broth in the bowl. Definitely made me see vegetarian food in a whole new light. read more

Some of the best vegan ramen I've had with creative flavors as well. So happy that there are locations in LA so I can try it at home too! We got the sesame yuzu which was a creamy and bright broth, and the spicy garlic was a nice classic flavor. We just wish it was a little spicier as we couldn't really feel the spice. The miso avocado roll was also 10/10 and all the presentation was beautiful of the food read more

Hi Quynh,…
This is the best vegan ramen I've ever had! I was visiting Boston for work and had Redwhite on my list. It's a small location that's partially underground. Really cool place. I went for a late lunch, around 3:30pm, so it was pretty quiet. The service was quick and the person behind the counter offered me some recommendations when I asked. He was very helpful. The ramen itself was amazing. I got the red hot miso on his recommendation and it was delicious. Perfect amount of heat (for someone that likes spicy food) and the portion size was great as well. The broth was stellar, and i liked the soy meat as well. There wasn't anything left in the bowl by the time I was done! I appreciated that there were several options. I will be back to try the others when I am in Boston again! read more

Hi Rathin,…
Such an unassuming little spot. Just hopped in on a Saturday looking for lunch on Newbury and it is a small spot right on the street on the bottom floor. It is dark with small tables and counter service. I am usually a meat person so was slightly disappointed to see that there wasn't meat on the menu but decided to give it a go anyway. I even got the vegan sushi. When I tell you I was blown away! Everything was incredible!! My ramen was so flavorful and filling and even the sushi tasted amazing. I will definitely come back! read more

Hi Becca,…
We accidentally walked past this restaurant and decided to give it a try. Not realizing it's vegetarian. The soup was very flavorful, bursting with different spices. Not my usual order at my local ramen joint but certainly delicious. The sweet chili roll was also very nice. A marriage of avocado roll with some Latin flavor top with some crunchy tortilla chips. A very satisfying meal on a cool autumn evening. The space is very tight with seating that can be very crowded. But I really think that adds to the vibe of eating in a Ramen shop. The person who took my order was also very nice and helped me decide on the role. I eventually ended up choosing. Would recommend. read more

We arrived on a weeknight for a late dinner and the line was already out the door. The interior itself was pretty small and it is set up where you place and pay for your order at the counter first before being seated at a table. You're also given a beeper which rings when your food is ready. We shared a truffle mac and cheese which was decent. I got the yuzu sesame ramen which was quite tasty! The umami flavor was plenty with a good citrus flavor on the side. Ramen noodles were cooked al dente which was much appreciated. For a vegan ramen, I was quite impressed with how flavorful the broth was. read more

Dear Michelle,…
Was in a hurry to grab some quick food. Newbury was popping today on Saturday and red white boneless definitely was no exception! They do have a quick menu, we've had the spicy miso before and it was delicious, the broth is pretty heavy if you like that style of broth, i tend to like a lighter bodied broth. The spot is vegan they have soy protein, corn, crispy onion, alfalfa and arugula! You can add whatever toppings or noodz to your liking (added charge) and you can choose your bowl to be gluten free or else the ramen won't be gluten free noodles! I believe there is a rule each person who dines in must order and item, but i could have read that wrong and if your order is sub $60 they won't accept a benji as payment. Must use smaller bills at that point. It's dark down there but that's the ambiance! read more

Hi Chris, thank you for visiting us during a lively Saturday on…
We came here to try their vegan ramen. We were told that everything is plant-based. We got the No 3 Garlic Miso Ramen (which we were told was the most traditional tasting) and No 5 Yuzu Sesame Ramen; but little spicy for both. It wasn't really spicy at all, but overall very delicious. This place is located a few steps down in the basement of the building of a very trendy area full of shops and restaurants. There are several tables, but can fill up quick during busy times of the day. We came around 6:15 pm on a Saturday and barely got a table. The restaurant staff were all super friendly, welcoming, and answered our questions. We really enjoyed everything and I most definitely would return for delicious vegan ramen! read more

Hi Ibis,…
WOAH! Absolutely insane flavoring! Don't let the word Vegan fool ya! All you need to taste is the broth and you're hooked! I'd focus on the ramen for sure! Service was fast, it's clean up as you go and it worked very well. Simple chairs and tables but great table lighting! It matched the vibe perfectly. read more

Wowowow this place was amazing! It's a hidden gem! It's literally located at the bottom of a building. Found this right after getting off my plane ride, and it's totally vegan but I would have never known! The flavors were very prominent, we ordered the curry and yuzu sesame flavor, I recommend both! Even the avocado roll was shaped the way they do sushi in Kyoto, it was a nice touch to notice. I'm from the Bay Area and I feel like I got some high standards on good, this place was amazing, and perfect pkus that the person at the cashier helped us choose what to get! read more

Hi Kristine,…
We got 2 dishes here: #5 Yuzu Sesame ramen, #8 Redhot Miso ramen. The portions were on the small side. The redhot is spicy, 8/10 spiciness level according to the staff. The yuzu ramen tasted pretty citrus like. We paid extra for cheese and you only get a few sprinkles, not even a full slice. Can't even tell its there. Seating area is very small, about 12-15 tables total. The menu is pretty limited. There are appetizers available as well (like sushi). A water jug is available to customers, next to the register. There are no waiters. You order at the front desk and then try to get a table, as its first come first served. We had to wait several minutes for a table of 2. You'll have a buzzer with you. You go pick up your own food once it buzzes. You also have to clean up after yourself. Think of it like the Hmart food courts. As for decor, it looks very dark inside. The cashier was nice and friendly. Their bathroom is hard to get to and was extremely dirty. Given that this place is located on newbury st, I guess the price to portion size is to be expected. Our 2 ramen bowls and tip was $45. We probably won't go back. read more

Hi John,…
Great spot for hearty vegan ramen. I love the chewy noodles and the creamy thick broth. I usually come for the creamy broths as a warm, nourishing and satiating winter meal. Some people might think it's a bit heavy but that's what I come for. I willl say after trying all the broths that they aren't extremely different since they all use similar layers and just have varying spice levels. I'm not a fan of adding cheese but that's big here. I typically enjoy the truffle or classic with chili oil. Space is small but I usually have no issues bringing people. Overall one of the best spots in Boston for all vegan ramens. Other ramen shops might have 1-2 vegan ramens but you can rest assured this entire spot is vegan, even the cheese. So there isn't a concern of cross contamination or "accidents" - if you know what I mean. It also means you are also getting a flagship entree that's the start of the restaurant and not just a "compromise", which is another reason I love supporting this fully vegan spot. At one point they had the rice noodles as a great gluten free option but I don't think they have that anymore. It would be great if they had that again! They also released sushi rolls which were a bit dense and huge, but surprisingly the rice was cooked very well (which not all sushi spots can do) and the amount of avocado truffle miso is just right (whereas I usually order that avocado on the side and it can be a lot). Anyone can make a vegan miso soup broth, but if you want a hearty, appealing, soulful and warming bowl of thick creamy ramen, come here! read more

Some of the best vegan ramen I've ever had. Highly recommend , very fast service you just order at the counter and you sit down at a table. Go during the weekdays as during the weekends there is a line out of the door. The price is comparable to other ramen places nearby. read more

Hi Dimeisa,…
RedWhite boneless ramen.....Vegan ramen? What an interesting concept this is. I am nowhere close to a vegan, but what I am is an absolute ramen fiend. I don't discriminate. Im a simple man....I see ramen that looks appetizing, count me in. The images produced by the RedWhite team are irresistible, nothing short of a visual masterclass. Red hot miso: corn, crispy onion, arugula, alfalfa, soboro, and noodles. There is sooooo much going on here. Right off the bat I will say these are some fantastic noodles. Thick and perfectly chewy. Some of the best I've had in any bowl. The broth itself is rich and full of flavor. Although the ingredients work fine together, the bowl is simply too busy. So much so that the broth has the consistency of chunky salsa. It was difficult to even get to the noodles that I wanted so much to enjoy. This is unlike any consistency I've experienced and to be honest it's hard to get past. Mac and truffle: who doesn't love a homey Mac? Truffle is the ultimate cheat code, it makes everything better. I'm actually embarrassed to say how many truffle flavored things I have in my home. RedWhites version id imagine uses vegan cheese. Can you tell the difference? Hardly! This is honestly a nice creamy cheese substitute. A little on the sweet side, but there is a nice balance achieved by adding truffle. The only downside is the crispy onions. A great idea in theory to contrast textures, but my onions were on the stale side. Ramen remains one of my favorite foods on the planet! It's unfair that all people, regardless of dietary restrictions, should not enjoy such a wonderful dish. For sure this concept is a sorely needed. Although RedWhite has some really good things going for it, technically it falls short for me. Given the amount of positive reviews, clearly I am in the minority. As long as Ramen is being pushed to the forefront, we all win! To each his own! read more
