My family visited Newport, Rhode Island during December and Yagi Noodles was one of two ramen restaurants that I looked up close to where we were staying. Since it was our first restaurant stop, we didn't know better and spent $10 parking lot. There was plenty of free street parking during the winter time in Newport. Not being from the area, we did not know any better.
For appetizer, we ordered the chicken karage with the spicy Korean gochujang sauce on the side. It was plentiful, and in retrospect, a good decision to keep the sauce on the side.
My husband and I both ordered the tonkotsu ramen while my son had the duck version. The broth was very rich and delicious, I ate to the very last drop. The micro green garnishments was a nice touch, however, the mushrooms were amazing. It added such a nice earthy taste. There should be a mushroom appetizer dish made of just these mushrooms! I liked it that much! The pork meat was very much to my liking as well, nice thick cuts with a chewy/bouncy texture. Most ramen restaurants that I have been to, the pork slices are either too thinly sliced, or they are huge chunks of melting fat.
The drinks menu was the deciding factor and what made me picked this ramen location over another location I was looking at in the area. The matcha strawberry latte with added lychee jelly was amazing. I highly recommend this! We also ordered the brown sugar milk tea boba and that was good as well.
Overall, the service was excellent, and the food and drinks were great. The interior was very clean and had comfortable bench seatings with pillow cushions for your back, which was nice. I highly recommend this location if you are in the area or just visiting Newport, RI. See my pictures!
