NAMI REVIEWS

Went for the Omikase (Chefs Choice) 16-course meal for a birthday celebration. Daniel, our chef, was incredibly knowledgeable as well as one of the finest Itamae (sushi chef) I have had the privilege of being served by. His quiet, humble approach was perfect for allowing his cuisine to stand out, taking the time to explain every dish and its ingredient's origins. All around best Omikase I have had stateside. Reminded me of being served in Okinawa itself. I highly recommend a bottle of Dassai-45 along with your meal. Perfectly done. Looking forward to going back ASAP.

Excellent, attentive hostess and servers, fun vibes, and delicious food! Tons of options on the menu but we ordered the chicken wings (which were some of the crispiest I have ever eaten!), cucumber roll, sweet potato tempura roll, and evil angel roll. Everything was great! My boyfriend and I were just visiting Providence for a few days, but if we lived here I could definitely see this becoming a go-to sushi spot.

Great restaurant with a fun vibe and an amazing waiting staff. Came here for a birthday dinner with a large group and everything was delicious. Would highly recommend a scorpion bowl and some of their classic sushi options. Everything came out in an orderly fashion and all dishes were fresh. Would definitely come back again.

WARA WARA JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

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.

This place is so wonderful. It's a little small so it can be busy in the evenings but the staff are always courteous and quick. The food is aaaamaaaazing especially the fried chicken skin which I love. I've never seen that served anywhere else. The ramen serving sizes are very generous in my opinion and wonderfully rich in flavour.

Nice hearty, fresh food. Very delicious and plenty of vegan dishes too. I love the ramen here. Sadly no.soju however they have unfiltered sake so all.is not lost. The bento box meals.are also very good.

EBISU PROVIDENCE REVIEWS

This restaurant is exceptional! Always amazing experience regardless if you dine in or take out. The quality is always the same and taken into great consideration. I’m always so happy with how delicious their food is from their appetizers, dishes and of course savory ramen! Best ramen you’ll find in RI! We are so lucky to have Ebisu in our state. I’ve been going here for 5 years now and I’ll always recommend.

Absolutely delicious food! My wife, daughter, and I ate here for lunch and we had a wonderful time. The atmosphere and was relaxing and inviting. The service was exceptional, the waiter gave us great recommendations, and the food came out surprisingly fast. We will be eating here again very soon.

My only regret is not coming here sooner. Everyone is super friendly, it’s a very warm and cozy atmosphere, and the food is delicious. The prices are fair too. 100/10 and get the miso donuts when you go.
