I have been wanting to try Yagi Noodles for the longest time — the menu looked amazing, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We arrived around one o’clock and had a short wait, but it turned out to be worth it since it was Restaurant Week.
As a vegetarian, I really appreciated how accommodating they were. They customized my noodles with a mushroom broth, and I went for the tonkatsu noodle — absolutely delicious. For starters, I tried the dumplings, and they were some of the best I’ve had.
My husband ordered the same noodles with the bar buns, and he said it was one of the most refreshing and solid noodle dishes he’s had in New England — and let me tell you, he’s a total food snob!
The real standout, though, was their Moon Drink hands down the best drink I’ve ever had. It had this beautiful mix of mango, coconut, and jasmine, with a touch of sake that was so smooth you could barely taste the alcohol.
The only slight letdown was the dessert — the mango sago and chocolate chip cookie with puffed rice didn’t quite match the rest of the meal. But honestly, I’d happily skip dessert and come back for everything else.
Yagi Noodles is one of the best finds in Newport — cozy, creative, and absolutely worth the visit.
