I was researching some places that had sandwiches for lunch today and I'm thrilled I came across this place and was able to give it a try! Parking is tough but you should be able to find street parking without a long walk. I knew the restaurant was small and was worried we'd have trouble finding a seat because of that. However, we were the only customers in there for a solid 10 minutes when we first arrived. The restaurant itself was adorable! Small but nicely decorated and furnished. I appreciated the stars on the ceiling. The staff were friendly and gave us as much time as we needed with the menu before we ordered at the counter. I had the chicken empanadas and the shrimp poboy. The food came out quickly and was piping hot and fresh. The empanadas were excellent. Great flavor and tasted high quality. I found them to be a little oily but that wasn't anything a napkin couldn't fix. The shrimp was cooked well and I liked the sauce it came with. Their bread was also super soft and tasted freshly baked. Definitely something I'd consider ordering again! Overall, I'd definitely come back to the White Owl and would love to check out more things on the menu. read more

White Owl in Providence is such a solid neighborhood spot. Cool, casual vibe with a modern feel, and the menu has a fun mix of comfort food and creative dishes. The drinks are great, there's usually a nice selection of beers on tap, and it's an easy place to relax with friends for dinner or just a couple of drinks. Service has been friendly and the atmosphere on Hope Street makes it feel like a go-to local hangout. Overall, really glad this place is around -- I'd definitely recommend White Owl if you're in the area. read more

I really like white owl! I definitely need to go back and try more dishes. I enjoyed the Dan Dan noodles a lot. It is really clean inside and parking is always around in the area. I worry that they aren't busy enough, I hope more people visit so we can keep them around! read more

We walked over here for lunch after visiting the Hope Street Farmers Market. We weren't exactly sure what to expect but had seen this pop up a few times on Yelp saying - come eat here, lol. When we walked in, it was empty - saw that we had to order at the counter, find a seat and the food would be brought out. I had seen numerous reviews praising the corn ribs, so we ordered that along with the chicken empanadas, chicken sando and the beef bulgogi cheesesteak. The corn was good but not as good as I was hoping they would be. The mister enjoyed the beef bulgogi sammy - the chicken was cooked nicely but was missing that oomph. My favorite thing were the empanadas. There is a self service water station. Service was quick and friendly, place was airy and welcoming. We won't rush back but if in the area would like to try other options. read more

Rating:4.3 Came to try this new restaurant on hope street right next to three sisters where they used to offer food items. When we got there it was empty as the place just had opened. We parked right in front of the restaurant on street parking. Inside is small and cozy with few seatings with some decors, tv and background music. We placed an order and sat down. We ordered curry croquettes, dan dan noodle, hibiscus punch, and pineapple mabi. Curry croquettes were pretty good. Freshly fried, crunchy on outside and hot and savory. The hibiscus punch was refreshing. We were not a fan on pineapple mabi. Dandan noodle had a great flavor, hint of spice and savoriness. I did wish that the noodles were a bit more firm as they were a bit overcooked and soft. The service was good. There was only one staff so it may be a long wait if the place gets busy. Overall the place was pretty good. Price can be a bit expensive for some item. Food was solid and service was good as long as the place is not busy. I would come back to try other things on the menu like their sandwich. read more

This restaurant is new and right next to three sisters. This place use to be connected to them, but I guess they sold this half and converted to a new shop. It's very cute! It's clean, and green. Dan Dan noodles were flavorful! Don't forget to mis the fish before eating because you really need to get all those flavors in. The curry croquette were delicious! I shared it with my partner because it was two pieces were on the plate. Our drinks were interesting. We ordered the two non alcoholic options. Honestly should have just gotten the soft drinks. We got the hibiscus drink and the pineapple mobi. It was very surprising and too bitter and tasted like an alcoholic drink with no alcohol. We didn't even finish it. Seems like this place has cute specials like thirsty Thursdays, self service for utensils and first come first serve seating. At the counter they have a special to win a $25 for a select restaurant list as promotion. The staff was only one women, and she didn't a great job being prompt, greeting, and providing us our meals on time with little wait. I would definitely go back because it feels casual and cute location and near my workplace. The curry croquette are a MUST and serve is very comfortable. All I need to do is figure out if they have wifi~ because this feels like a perfect place for lunch and cute to sit and work a bit during pre-lunch to lunch hours. read more

Finally tried White Owl and the food did not disappoint. Went on a rainy Wednesday and we were the only people there. Was confused about whether we needed to order at the counter or get table service and it was a hybrid (order at the counter but food is brought to you). Had the corn ribs served with queso fresco and chipotle cream and a chicken sandwich served with waffle fries and spicy pickles. My friend got the birria sandwich and it looked similar to a French dip. Everything tasted good and was freshly prepared. Would probably just get takeout next time. read more

My experience here has always been great whenever I visit. Been here twice, and it is a tiny spot with maybe 2 people working here at a time, so be patient and you'll be rewarded with deliciousness! Despite this, food comes out super quickly. Have tried one of their sandos and their dandan noodles and both were super flavorful. They also serve brunch, which I haven't tried yet but I'm sure it's also great. They're also next door to this awesome ice cream place, so grabbing dessert after a great meal here is easy. read more

Located conveniently across from the green on hope street, and next door to three sisters, another favorite! There is on street parking, in front of the building, but if you fancy a walk, you can park somewhere down on the green and walk on over. Quite a bit of seating, and a bathroom you can use. You have to scan the QR code and order at the front for food and drinks Got the Caribbean crab cakes, very good, loved the sweetness of the mango sauce! Also got a soy mushroom burger, with a side of nicely dressed salad. This is our second time here, and will probably visit again! I read more

I had some veggie arepas which were spicier than I expected but in a good way. My friend juevos rancheros which she enjoyed and two other people in my party had chicken sandwiches which they seem to enjoy. It was really stuffy inside so we were fortunate enough to grab tables on the sidewalk. There was only one person working there And that seemed like too much for her alone. I hope they can hire another person soon! read more

Great addition to Hope Street! Located right next to three sisters, the ambiance inside is casual and welcoming. Their fusion menu is quite good. I tried their dan dan noodles and loved every bite. They also have a lunch special where you can get a burger and beer for $15$ during the weekdays. Their chicken sando was phenomenal. The kitchen is small, and there's usually only one or two staff members. The homemade lemonade is good. Overall, it was a great experience. There is limited street parking. read more

My wife and I went to White Owl yesterday for lunch. It did not disappoint. Service was super friendly, gracious and efficient. I ordered the chicken sando and my wife ordered two appetizers, a.k.a. Nibbles, for her entrée, The chicken sandwich was excellent. The chicken was tender and moist, and the flavors of the toppings were fantastic. My wife got the curry croquettes and the tamale. The croquettes were the star of the show, incredibly well-balanced flavors. I thought the curry might overpower the other flavors, but it was subtle and just really went perfectly with the dish. The only slight disappointment was the tamale. There was nothing wrong with the flavor, but It was $10. The portion size of the croquettes was probably more than double the tamale, but the croquettes were two dollars cheaper. I buy tamales a lot, and they are usually in the $4 range per piece, so for $10 I was expecting a really big portion. If I could do half stars, I might have given 4 1/2 stars because of that, but it's really not a huge issue. I just wouldn't order that again. The place definitely deserves a visit. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered takeout at about 5:30 on a Friday, and it was ready in about 15 minutes. We live locally so it's a super easy pickup. And I just parked in the adjacent lot which made it even easier. Staff was efficient and friendly. The inside is really nice! I definitely want to dine in soon. I had the Chicken Sando which was fantastic. I really like chicken sandwiches. The spicy pickles were a very nice touch. I also splurged on the Parmesan fries but will get regular next time. My wife had the bulgogi cheesesteak sandwich that she said was perfect. We also decided to try the beignets since our daughter is super into 'Princess and the Frog.' So worth it! Perfectly dense and scrumptious. You get either powdered sugar OR cinnamon and sugar but they let us do one of each. 10/10 will dine again. read more

I ordered take out. The food was ready as promised. We order the cheese steak, the chicken sandwich, and the shrimp poboy. I did not like the bread used. The fish cakes were ok. Pricing is average. Nice option near the Blvd. read more

The west side of the East Side is where it's at for foodies, and While Owl PVD doesn't disappoint. This place is ALL about the food. Easily the best value in Providence and now my favorite go-to restaurant. PERFECT for lunch on Hope near the Saturday farmers' market park. I couldn't believe it wasn't packed today. Delicious burger-and-beer lunch special. Easy ordering at the bar and sit where you like. Simple decor. They do have a tv if you want to watch the game. It's just a wonderful spot for a delicious lunch and the perfect complement to the food scene along Hope Street. read more

For those footies that love being around Blacksotone Boulevard, this is the perfect venue for a quick health bite. Good service, affordable prices. It was a fun place to meet after a long walk. Meet you there.. read more

The Dan Dan noodles were great, though perhaps just a bit overpriced. They have some cool fusion and drink options. The service was a bit slow for my party of six, as there only seemed to be two people working, so keep that in mind! read more

White Owl - Dan Dan noodles - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

Still my favorite burger in Providence. And a peaceful time overlooking goings on at the the near-Pawtucket end of the Boulevard.

We tried out this place tonight for takeout. My love and I shared four dishes: street corn ribs, fish cakes, birra melt and Dan Dan noodles. My favorite was the fish cakes which are kind of more like a fish filled hush puppy served with a delectable mango sauce. I also enjoyed the street corn ribs with a spicy mayo sauce. The birra sandwich was good, especially when dipped in the accompanying sauce. The Dan Dan noodles were my least favorite item because the beef was like a giant knot that wasn't well distributed in the noodles. It tasted good but was kind of frustrating to eat- they need to prep this better. Definitely interested in returning here to sample more of the menu items. The place definitely promising and it's nice to have another local eatery in the area. read more

5 stars!!! The staff is so delightful and the food is fantastic. Dan Dan noodles might be the best in town and the sandwiches (all of them) are so delicious. Can you tell I live a few blocks away? :) Just an amazing local Providence joint! A must see for I rarely give 5 starts. read more

Always solid. Get the po' boy. This should be considered a neighborhood institution. I haven't tried brunch yet, but I'm looking forward to. Dinner and lunch are always a treat. read more

Went to pick up a Po Boy for myself and the Mrs. and was incredibly satisfied by the flavors. Spent some time trying some beers with the owner while I was there and they were incredibly kind and friendly. 10/10 would go back to dine in person. read more

Outstanding food - the Dan Dan noodles are spicy and filling and the ingredients are top notch. Good parking behind the building. Lots of seating in a pleasant modern interior. read more

We ordered two chicken sandwiches with fries to go. Both were awesome! Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu soon.

Excellent Chicken Sando & fries. Things at other tables looked good too. Two parties walked out before me and apparently enjoyed their meals so much that they complimented the kitchen on their way out. read more

Overpriced for below average food. Get your own water from a water fountain with a disposable plastic cup, disposable plates if you need extra plates. No service. Disappointing since wara wara is so good. read more

Popped in a couple of weeks ago and had their burger and amazing bread pudding! Both outstanding! Had another burger today, with their queso and chips, amazing! Taking home beignets for dessert! Great neighborhood spot, if you haven't been, I highly recommend it! Worth the visit! read more

Really great Birria melt, interesting beer selection and fantastic service! Quiet little place next to three sister ice cream!

Great Meal at the White Owl. In this restaurant you will order from the stand and they will bring the meal over to you. Good selection for beer and my wife enjoyed the rose' in a can but a good quality wine. This is a new business so it was not busy but with the farmer's market coming soon they will start building. I had the chicken sandwich and my wife had a shrimp sandwich and both were excellent. We will be coming back. read more
