The food was so delicious we loved every part! We also had the shumi and the gyoza for appetizers and they were so good they were gone so quickly. The service was great too, our server was helpful answering questions and checking in on us at an appropriate amount. The ambiance is okay low key home like vibe so dress casual and comfortable. We got full and still enjoying the food. Definitely recommend! Local favorite
This was our first time visiting and we are so glad we made the trip! For our appetizer we got the pork belly buns & scallops wrapped in bacon!! They were prepared to perfection. We also created our own ramen bowls, which was a first for us. The menu was very easy to navigate and the service was fantastic. The broth is so delicious and the option to add extra noodles hit the spot. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back!
Decent food here! My friend just got the karrage and it tasted great and paired well with the sauces provided. My other friend and so split shabu shabu (hot pot) and it was just decent. We got the meat combo and the portions were good, and the veg add ons were good too. I wish the broth was a little more flavorful and there were sauce options for dipping but it was otherwise good. I wish I ordered ramen, it looked great at some of the other tables.
Food is decent, service is good. Overall vibe is great, brought the kids over and they were enjoying.
Great atmosphere, service and most importantly food! Pictures speak 1000 words but the dumpling and ramen were amazing. The Shabu shabu was a fun experience, and tasty!!!
I've always been a huge fan of Ebisu. I started coming here about 13/14 years ago. I introduced my husband to this restaurant and we usually get take out. We decided to dine in for dinner on 7/24/2024. Our server was incredibly enthusiastic, friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. I wish I remembered his name. He made our experience an absolute delight! For drinks, my husband ordered a Japanese beer (I forget the exact one) and I ordered the Spicy Thai martini with Thai chili infused vodka! It was a very well balanced cocktail and I would order it again. I'm excited to try their other cocktail offerings during future visits. We started with the Geso (sauteed squid tentacles in teriyaki) and Korean pork belly with spicy miso sauce & kimchee. They both came out quickly and were delicious. My husband is a chef and was raving about the kimchi. He says it's some of the best he's had and I agree! For entrees, we both went with the 'build your own ramen' option. We always get their ramen here because it's so good. I love that they offer gluten free options as well. There was an abundance of toppings. Their portions are huge too! My husband almost finished the entire bowl in one sitting! We both got the 30+ hour Tonkotsu broth. It's seriously some of the best ramen and broth I've ever had. In the past I've also tried their shabu shabu (hot pot) which is so fun to do with friends and is absolutely delicious. For the quality of food, drinks and service, we expected a decent sized bill but their prices are so incredibly fair and well worth it! Their quality of food is very fresh and flavorful. You can tell that the chefs know what they are doing and care about their craft. I'm considering coming back this weekend to try some more apps and entrees! Their ambiance is very relaxing. I love that they don't have blaring lights. It feels like a cozy lounge where you can hang out and enjoy assorted apps with friends without the hustle-and-bustle that a lot of other restaurants tend to have. The music is the perfect level to hold a conversation as well. Their bar is set up nicely and it seems well organized overall. I would highly recommend Ebisu. They have some of the best Japanese cuisine I've had on the East Coast. They have remained consistent for over a 13+ years I've been coming here whether you dine in or order take out. I used to have to travel to Boston for ramen and hot pot but I'm so happy to have a local go-to spot that never disappoints!
Absolutely fabulous. Outstanding food, flavors and service in a tranquil ambiance. Miso Seafood Ramen is heavenly, shrimp Shumai as well. Flavors are incredible, beyond special, what a wonderful surprise to find this gem. Excellent menu options to explore, we love it and will come back! Happy, thank you!
Perfectly situated between PVD airport and Providence. It's a must stop on the way to Providence after you land. I'm a bit hesitant to say this, but this might be the best ramen I've had in the US. The smokey flavor, long simmering broth, perfectly cooked meat and noodles. There's nothing I would improve here. On top of that, the service is amazing. I'm a fan and will be back.
Ebisu is a hidden little gem located in a very unassuming area. While visiting a relative, we went here for lunch. The inside is small and intimate. The service was friendly and efficient. Our food was really good. We ordered the Crab Croquette, Steamed Shumai, Yakisoba, Pistachio Crusted Salmon, and Seared Sesame Tuna. All the food was freshly prepared and tasty. None of us left a morsel behind. If I'm ever in the area again, I would not hesitate to make a pitstop at Ebisu.
I'm hoping to get back to Ebisu soon. Great food, friendly atmosphere, courteous staff. This place has an extensive menu, so there's something for everyone. My daughter and I stopped by prior to attending a concert. We had a wide variety of appetizers and some unique cocktails. One of the reasons I have to get back there is to try more of their creative dishes. This place is the "real deal!"
