Very oily but had good flavorful and great noodle texture. The sushi just was very big and definitely felt like it was missing something major to balance out the flavors. Service was so so. As soon as we walked in, a younger white guy immediately greeted us and took our drink orders 10/10. After maybe 1 minute someone else came and asked if we were ready. We just sat down, please wait. This was how service was almost the entire time. I appreciate the attention but also it was a little much. Overall, maybe the ramen is better but wouldn't come here for sushi.

Yanagi Ramen is a solid addition to the area and a place I'd definitely return to. While it wasn't…read morethe most mind-blowing ramen I've ever had, it was genuinely good--especially for the location--and clearly hits the spot when you're craving something warm and comforting. I really appreciated the variety of vegetarian options, which felt thoughtfully done rather than like an afterthought. My bowl was flavorful and well-balanced, though worth noting: even after asking for heat, it wasn't spicy at all, so spice lovers may want to temper expectations. That said, the experience had a bit of a rough start. We arrived right at the posted opening time (11am) and ended up waiting outside in the freezing cold, unsure if they were actually open. We had to call to confirm, and only then did someone come to unlock the door. Once inside, I asked for hot tea--pretty standard at most Japanese spots--only to be told they were completely out, which was surprising. All things considered, Yanagi Ramen delivers a dependable bowl with good vegetarian choices and a clean, modern space. A few opening-hour kinks and missing basics kept it from being great, but the food itself was enjoyable, and I'd happily come back--just not for spice, and hopefully next time with hot tea ready to go.

My only thing is that the soup could have been slightly warmer and with a smidge more broth. I usually don't like a tone of broth but this was a little lacking (see photo). My friend got the seafood ramen and it looked really bad. He said it came cold which was confirmed with another person who tried the soup. The shrimp looked very overcooked and the scallops were tiny. We also tried the calamari and the takoyaki. The takoyai wasn't very good and the calamari also wasn't great but the sauce saved it a little. We also tried the white peach sake which didn't taste like alcohol at all. The hot teas and sodas are refills as well. Service was nice and the interior is very pretty and modern.

They do not carry a huge variety of fresh vegetables but it is sufficient for me. They have the usual fare of Gailan, Bok choy, long beans and others and because of the smaller volume they deal with, they always look fresh and clean. A good business strategy! They seem to rotate and keep their inventory well. The frozen bao and dim sum items do not show freezer burns. Most definitely a grocery stop that I have come to trust the quality of their items!

Almost everything was covered in way too much soy sauce, which overpowered the flavor of the meat, vegetables, and rice. If the seasoning had been lighter, I think the meal would have been much more enjoyable. Overall, I'd come back for the service, but I hope the kitchen cuts back on the soy sauce.
