    Tsunama Crisps
    Matt Z.

    Absolutely amazing food! Tried the Tsunama crisps, firecracker and Diablo rolls. Everything was amazing! Awesome friendly staff as well. The best sushi I've had!

    Chicken fried rice

    Amazing restaurant! I came here last year and it was a very memorable experience. The food is the highest quality. The portions are gigantic. It feels like a lot of options but they don't just specialize in one type of food. They do it all and they do it great. The sushi is top notch, the rice and pad Thai is some of my favorites. The hibachi is out of this world... Their vegetables are so fresh and delicious... the wonton soup and the miso soup are phenomenal. For dessert we had their delectable fried ice cream and mochi ice cream. The service is above and beyond. I would eat here every night if I could. They have indoor seating for many... It's a lot bigger than it looks from the outside... And they have outdoor seating in the summer. This restaurant is super clean and the food has never gone wrong.

    I love this place. Most of the Thai food in the area is not good, and the only decent sushi spot is George's (which is seasonal sushi only) ...Then along came tsunama! What a win for the area, honestly. I love their specials, their pad Thai is bomb, their crab rangoons and gyoza are both solid, and it's great that they have sushi! Sake is on the pricier side, but that's a minor gripe. Food is great, though. Enough said, pictures speak for themselves.

    Truly phenomenal all around! The cutest little spot inside decorated for the holidays felt like we were transported to a cozy hallmark Christmas movie spot! Started with edamame and the fried shrimp appetizer which was incredible. I've never had fried shrimp that was so light, crispy, and flavorful! Specialty rolls we had were the Nami, Allie's, and Red Dragon (tuna). Size of rolls were perfect - 3 rolls fed us 2 adults just right. Also the lychee martini was dangerously good - a perfect light sweetness, crisp, and refreshing! Our server Renz was so attentive to the kids and had great recommendations. True, genuine service is hard to come by these days and he was so appreciated! (I also selfishly don't want to announce how good this place is because I want to keep this hidden secret gem to ourselves, but honestly - try it. You will love it!)

    Lovely experience across the board! We made reservations in advance and had an incredibly tasty and high quality meal of sushi and appetizers. The ambiance is cozy and low-lit, and service was unmatched - you can tell everybody really cares. 10/10 would recommend this hidden gem!

    Intimate setting. Attentive service. Food was excellent, start to finish. We began with tempura vegetables, scallion pancakes and crispy chicken wings. All were very nicely done. I had a great house roll: the firecrackah. My wife and daughter split a tofu pad thai which they loved. Large portions! I also had a good sake. Relatively Affordable. Go there!

    Sushi Roll -Joes Happy Day
    Kristie A.

    I love the ambiance here! It's like a little Asian bistro - cozy inside- I love the vibe! We started w the shrimp dumplings and they were the best I've had- melt in your mouth delicious!!! The special sauce on the side was a great compliment to the appetizer! Next we split the creamy Pad Thai which I must say again was the best I have ever had! There was something about the exact temperature at which it was served that made it so delicious- and so smooth and creamy. It was served with a generous amount of chopped peanuts and two lime wedges. Finally we shared the Joes Happy Day sushi roll. The fish tasted so fresh and was served at the perfect temperature- the salmon and chives and other delicious flavors melded and melted in my mouth. It was served on a little wooden cutting board surrounded by small drops of soy sauce - a lovely presentation. (See photo) We had excellent service!! I highly recommend and we will be back!!!

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, cozy, and inviting--perfectly fitting for Newport but with a unique charm that really sets it apart. The food? Absolutely outstanding. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You can tell there's real attention to detail in both the ingredients and presentation. It's the kind of menu where you want to come back just to try everything. What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience--not rushed, not forced, just natural and welcoming. The fact that we came back a second day says it all. If you're in Newport and looking for a place that delivers on both food and experience, Mountain Moose is an absolute must. Can't wait to come back again!

The chicken satay was excellent. Very juicy and flavorful. If the same chicken was in my ramen, I probably would give this place a five star review. The curry ramen was filled with a spicy flavorful broth and a healthy serving of accoutrements but the chicken was very dry. Given that was my only complaint and the woman who served me was extremely gracious, mountain moose earns my recommendation. Note, if you're looking for massamam curry, just go to a Thai restaurant.

    While only a few miles from home, we tend to avoid Newport during the crazy busy summer months, but…read morethis has been on our radar since opening. The RI Food Fights TacoMania competition & tourist season starting to slow got us over the bridge to try early on a Saturday evening. Arriving just after opening, we had our choice of tables in an empty room. That was a good thing since, by the time we left, the place was jamming! The server, who was welcoming, enthusiastic about the menu & and handled the ever-growing crowd on his own, told us that we could always call ahead for a table. Good to know since we didn't see a way to reserve. The little place is comfy & lovely! The decor perfectly suits the Newport scene and includes a welcoming food bar area that would be perfect for enjoying their international tapa-like street-food inspired offerings. A small patio is available to overlook Memorial Blvd in nicer weather. While they do not have a liquor license, you are welcome to BYOB and we did, finding the $3 per person corkage fee very fair. Now, about the food... WOW! What a explosion of fun flavors! With choices of snacks from around the world, you can jump from one intense palate to another, over and over. Three of us shared five small dishes & one large and we loved them all. The Nduja Shrimp Dumplings were delicate and fresh and loaded with flavor. The tacos that we were here to judge were fantastic. The pork was juicy & flavorful, and, though we were afraid the vegetable tacos would be boring - they were anything but. We'd eat these all the time! Bravas Frites were a fun twist on traditional Spanish Patatas Bravas, using fries as a base rather than cubed potatoes. Again, delicious! But, our favorite of the small plates had to be the Brussel Sprouts. We almost didn't get them as they've been so over-done, but felt vegetable guilt & threw them in. OMG - the best prep of these tiny cabbages ever! Finally, the pièce de résistance was the Lobster Fried Rice - a perfect way to top it all off. Buttery, umami & loaded with chunks of fresh lobster meat, my mouth waters now just thinking it. So glad we finally stopped here. A great Tacomania contender and we can't wait to return to eat our way through the rest of the menu!

My review is not favorable but I think knowing this is a Pasta Beach effort - it will be a hit in a few months. It is in the original Pasta Beach spot next to a Dunkin' Donuts for whatever reason is open late at night. The positives - plenty of nearby street parking, modern and cozy space, and very good staff. I should mention that after we ordered, our 5 appetizers arrived starting in 5 minutes and all were served within 10 minutes. We did screw up by forgetting we were at BYOB. OK - the killer - the food. Of the 5 appetizers we ordered only one was a winner! That was the Brussel sprouts which were outstanding and a large portion. All the other dishes were about the right size for sharing by 2. Realize they are striving for "fusion" but they missed it on the pulled pork dumplings. The lamb skewers were a struggle to eat - tough (and certainly could not be eaten off the skewers) - but the saving grace was the dipping sauce. The big failures were the prosciutto croquettes - a real mess with a sliver of meat on top of mainly onions - and OMG - the Korean chicken wings. The latter came slathered with a sticky and spicy, sweet, red sauce (too hot for my wife) and some sort of dipping sauce. A mess to eat. We had to request paper towels and dip in our water to clean up. Damages with tip was $90 and we only had a tea and sparkling water. We may try it in a few months, but their current menu did not work with our palates. Food 2/5 Service 5/5 Value 3/5 (average) Cleanliness 5/5 Noise 5/5 (lack of) Décor 5/5

So much better than flushing, Manhattan or Brooklyn dim sum restaurants, can't compare.What a gem! The last time i have this quality of dim sum was in Toronto over 20 years ago.

I drove past it the first time, but the exterior is intriguing, with waterfalls and small ponds with koi fish out front that caught my attention on the second pass. The interior is large and classically decorated, the kind of dining room that was built to handle volume without feeling like a cafeteria. I noticed the koi fish out front have a quarter machine nearby that dispenses food, a small detail that tends to land well if you are visiting with kids. The overall setup is comfortable and well maintained, and the space gave the restaurant a presence that most Chinese restaurants in the area do not match. The dim sum is the main draw, and it is served until 3pm, so timing my visit accordingly was important. I ordered the har gow and shumai, both well executed and holding up against what I have found at comparable restaurants in Boston or New York. The chili oil is good and worth using liberally. The shrimp wonton noodle soup was a standout and worth ordering on its own. For those coming outside dim sum hours, the full menu covers a solid range of Cantonese dishes. I also tried the fried rice, salt and pepper squid, and chow fun, all of which performed well. The portions throughout were generous enough that ordering with a group and sharing made the most sense. On quieter days, the food quality is noticeably more consistent, which I experienced during my visit. For good dim sum in Connecticut and a Cantonese dining room that takes the food seriously, Oriental Bar and Grill is worth the effort of finding.
