Wen's Yunnan Noodle & Ramen

10/10 fast, convenient. Just go in, scan the code, put your order in, the food is good and comes out fast, the staff keep an eye out if you need anything, you can just pay on the same app at the end. I got the Chicken Curry Ramen, was a good portion and tasted nice.

I stopped by on a weekday lunch and was seated instantly because I was their only customer. Right when I was seated, more customers came in. Ordering is done by scanning the QR code on the table and ordering in the webpage. Make sure to choose either ordering for one or as a group. Right after I ordered, my ramen came out almost instantly. It was crazy how fast my food came out!The ramen was okay, nothing too special, but serving size was generous. Overall, it's not a fancy place but if you want fast service, this is the place to go!

I went to Wen's yesterday after the line for Santouka in Back Bay was too long. I have been to Wen's once before maybe a year or two ago and it was good so I decided to try it again (but did not know they only had 3.2 yelp stars). It was not super crowded but I thought it would still be okay. I got the shumai, salted fried chicken, and tonkotsu ramen, and my friend got the mala ramen. The shumai came out cold in the center which was kind of gross and I asked them to be heated up a little more and they were better but clearly tasted frozen and not fresh. The salted fried chicken was surprisingly really good and was like Taiwanese popcorn chicken. Tonkotsu ramen was not great at all, broth was not flavorful and had a weird aftertaste. The noodles were thinner than I would like and were overcooked. Mala ramen broth was more flavorful but nothing special. Overall, this spot was highly disappointing. Below average ramen and I would not go here again. (I accidentally deleted my photo of the ramen but it was nothing special anyways).

Delicious rice noodles, but very slow service. The outdoor seating right on the street was nice, but it was a little crowded.

Ordering is done via QR code directly to the kitchen, but you pay at the end via the server. Our food came out extremely fast - maybe in 2-3 minutes after ordering.We had the Beef Rice Noodle and the Beef Flank Rice Noodle. Portion sizes were very large. I loved the rich flavour of the broth - definitely much better than some other rice noodle restaurants I've been to in the area. The beef slices (shreds?) were very well-cooked - juicy and not too chewy - and the beef flank, too, had a wonderful rich flavour. I really liked the veggies in the soup as well - generous helpings and paired very nicely with the broth and noodles.Overall a very good lunch and I would love to come again soon! They have a lot of different noodle options and I'd love to try something else next time.

I visited for a weekend lunch and was really excited to try this spot as I've passed by it countless times before. I've tried many ramen restaurants in the Boston area and this one was a pretty average experience - nothing spectacular but not bad at all. This restaurant highly suggests you to place your order online (although you can order with your server if you'd rather), which can make for a pretty hands-off experience. They have all the usual menu items for a ramen/noodle restaurant, so I went with ordering the Tonkatsu ramen which is typically one of my favorites. The noodles and toppings were good but the broth was lacking in flavor for me. Luckily the tables have some chili oil which I added to the broth which made it a lot more tasty. I'm not sure if I'd rush to come back here, but it's nice to have another ramen place in the heart of Back Bay.

Ordered door dash from here. I thought the food was just okay, but a bit cold when it arrived, which probably affected the taste a little bit. The crab rangoon and squid was a bit bland. We also tried the scallion noodles and ramen. I thought the ramen broth was pretty good and the eggs were solid in both the noodle dishes.

Stopped by for a quick lunch on a chilly winter day. It's an unassuming store front on Newbury Street, but I'd heard good things about the noodles here and that's just what we wanted / needed to warm up.The ordering process was very easy -- you scan a QR code and submit your order online. The food came out within 5 minutes of us placing the order!I got the classic Yunnan Beef Noodle Soup, which came out piping hot with a large portion of noodles, beef, and veggies. The broth was nice and light, which complemented the smooth rice noodles. My partner got the Tonkatsu Ramen, which was also delicious -- I think I actually preferred the texture of the ramen noodles to the rice noodles, but the ramen broth was much saltier than the beef noodle soup.Price-wise, this is also a pretty good deal on Newbury Street, though not too far off from the other ramen spots nearby (Santouka, Red White). Food:1. Beef Noodle Soup (3.5/5)2. Tonkatsu Ramen (4/5)Drink:1. Taro Bubble Tea (4/5)

It could be that we had the tonkotsu ramen on a nearly empty stomach and -5 degree weather, but it was easily one of the most satisfying bowls I've had in a long time. Nothing special about the noodles themselves, but the broth was rich and hearty. The meat and egg were slightly over cooked, but overall the flavor was spot on. Taro bubble tea on the side was to die for although not enough boba for me.Drinks:1. Dark Bubble Tea - 4/5Main:1. Tonkotsu Ramen - 4/5

I can't speak for their ramen, but if you're going to dine at a Yunnan Noodle place, you have to try their Yunnan-style noodle soups!! I was bedridden with COVID, and the only thing I wanted was chicken noodle soup. I could not have been more ecstatic that Wen's was still open at 9pm on a Sunday. I ordered on an app and less than 30 min later, was slurping down their Chicken Yunnan Rice Noodle Soup! The rice noodles were supple and slippery. The bowl was packed with thinly sliced chicken, scallions, marinated shiitake mushrooms, and salted bamboo. I opted for extra bean curd skin as my add-on. My favorite part though had to be the broth. It was soo rich and flavorful. I was surprised that the broth continued to be piping hot despite the travel time from restaurant to apartment. For someone who was heavily congested, that broth tasted like liquid gold. I can only imagine how it might taste when I'm not sick. Thanks so much, Wen's, for soothing my soul and helping me perk up if only for just a meal.
