    Great amount of options! Everything made fresh. Service was pretty speedy. Ate inside. I liked the grocery shopping videos they were playing on the TV. Prices were a little high and I felt like it could be more filling.

    The [CUPBAB] Chicken Teriyaki bowl is to die for!

    Food was very delicious! Staff is very kind! And i felt very welcomed here! Will come again and I encourage everyone to! I LOVE UBU UBU!!

    I have been to a couple self-serve ramen shops and this one always has me coming back. It's much more than just an instant ramen shop, they also have a wide selection of fresh prepared foods such as ubus, onigiri, and cupbops. The ramen + ubu combo is my go to and you can't go wrong with the fresh salmon ubu. The salmon is seasoned perfectly and it goes so well with the wasabi on top, it's a nice fresh pairing to go with the ramen! There is also a wide variety of drinks to try as well as ice cream, my only wish is that they added the Korean ade drinks + ice cups! It is a tiny shop with a couple tables and counters to sit at, we have never had a problem finding seating. The staff are always super friendly and are glad to help you if you don't know how to operate the self-serve ramen machines! I absolutely love this place, it's one of the best of its kind (:

    This is a very small shop next to the tattoo and barbershop on harbor boulevard. I came here while my bf was getting a tattoo. They have plenty of options, but was recommended the Ubus by the artist at the shop. I decided to get a crab meat and a salmon one. The girl at the front was very nice and patient with me while I decided what I wanted. The Ubus came out pretty quick in a cute packaging with napkins and chopsticks. My favourite was the crab meat one but the salmon was also very good with some seasoning that was absorbed by the rice on the bottom making it very tasty! I would highly recommend the Ubus as a quick snack or meal.

    I was craving tteokbokki and I was satisfied here! The cashier was very nice to let me know that there was a combo deal of tteokbokki and one Inari for $12! That's a steal if you ask me. Food was absolutely delicious. I'll be back.

    ~ Basically like. Korean 7/11 ~ I went during their soft opening. They provide discounts to students. The salmon is my favorite one! They also have that self service ramen that went viral on tiktok. There's lots of seating inside and other food than the sushi pockets.

    5 piece yubu
    Sara H.

    Located in downtown Fullerton, parking could be a little bit challenging during busy times. This place is small with limited seatings, and you place your order at the counter before finding a table. We tried the five piece yubu special, which was fine, but nothing stood out. They also offer self serve ramen, cupbab, nigiri, snacks, and more but we didn't see anything on the menu that would draw us back for another visit.

    Combos!

    Solid lunch spot! I love their combo deals. It's so worth! Their yubus are pretty big with a decent filling to rice ratio! I tried the fresh salmon, unagi, and crab ubu! The eel was a little boney which made it a little hard to eat. Overall solid!

    Entrance
    Tamara T.

    Ordered through the Yelp app from here. I was having a late lunch and had dinner plans and tried a chicken teriyaki ubu and a salmon ubu. Each one was $7.19 and they were good but not filling. I would recommend this for a light snack where you leave feeling like you respected your body's wishes for not overeating or eating junk food on your lunch break. It delicious and it's just enough, but for $7.19 you could get more elsewhere, especially if you're feeling super hungry. Parking is located behind the store, but you have to walk all the way around to the front of the store to enter. There's no entrance in the back. This place also sells Asian or Korean & Japanese snacks and they have ramen stations where you can buy a pack of ramen noodles and make it right there in the store.

    bulgogi sandwich
    Darelle A.

    We ordered the 5-piece special -- fresh salmon, eel, two spicy tuna, and crab -- and everything was super fresh! Honestly one of the ubu I've tried in SoCal. We also got the bulgogi sandwich and wow... total hidden gem! So flavorful and surprisingly filling. The staff were super nice too. We opted to grab spam musubi and onigiri on the way out because of how nice they were. Can't wait to try it at home! Can't wait to come back and try the ramen self-serve bar and tteokbokki next time. Ubu Ubu is definitely a new fave spot!

    Inari
    Clayton Y.

    Really enjoyed this small spot off Harbor blvd. The 5 for $25 Inari deal was really attractive and everything tasted so good! We shared the Eel, tuna, and buldak chicken inari, they were pretty huge. Five pieces were more than enough for 2 people to share. The eel was definitely the standout, melts in your mouth. The instant ramen selection is quite extensive. It's fun to pick out your own and use the cooker to make your own, my wife liked that a lot. There's limited seating, so it may get a little crowded, but lunchtime wasn't too bad. Will definitely come back for more!

    Bulgogi Bowl

    This place was delicious! My friends and I stopped by here after going Axe throwing next door. We were all pretty hungry and were delighted to find a yummy looking restaurant within walking distance. It seems to be a new(ish) spot & family owned. The cashier was really nice and what seemed to be either the owner/ manager was very nice too. He was very smiley & accommodating. It does take a little bit for the food to come out but my friends and I were busy talking to really notice. The wait was worth it though, the food was so good! I've never had yubu before but I was pleasantly surprised with how flavorful and savory it was! I definitely recommend the eel yubu! So so good

    Very pricey for pretty average yubu. $6 each meaning 2 rice pockets costs almost as much as a chipotle bowl (with guac lol). The spicy meat toppings are actually pretty spicy. But the meat quality could be better. Rice to topping ratio was disappointing especially for $6 each I expected more.

    I found my new favorite ice cream spot!!…read more As a self-proclaimed ice cream enthusiast, I frequent ice cream spots at least 1-2 times a week (probably more than I should). I happened to come across this place on a Friday night right before a bar-hopping night with some friends. I just ate so ice cream sounded good. I walked in and it's a pretty small spot with only 2-3 small tables and 1 guy working. The menu looked pretty interesting, and immediately sampled 3 of the flavors that intrigued me the most: mango sticky rice, banana cream pie, and matcha strawberry. The worker was really nice and helped me out quickly. I asked him what the difference was between the small and the large, I thought it was just size of the scoop or bowl, but he said that small comes with 2 scoops, large is 3 scoops, and you can get a combination of flavors. That was perfect because all 3 flavors were some of my favorites I've ever had. I'm not usually one to hype up a food spot without good cause, but the price point for each size was really good compared to other ice cream spots that charge $1-2 more for the same thing. Not only that, these flavors were some of the best I've had. I'm excited to come back and try more flavors. Highly recommend this spot for any ice cream lovers, and I think I'm probably going to come back every weekend as part of my weekly routine haha.

    It's hard to find ice cream that has Asian-inspired flavors, so this place set my expectations…read morepretty high! And I was not disappointed! They have a great variety of flavors, and you can even get a sample to taste before buying. Their ube is delicious and their mango sticky rice one has such an incredible taste that replicates the dessert so well. I ended up getting their cookie butter flavor since I am a big fan of biscoff and it was so creamy and delicious. You get small chunks of the biscoff cookie as well, which is great. For the price itself, you get a good amount of ice cream too! The shop itself is pretty small with only a table or two for seating and parking is slightly difficult when it gets crowded. But the service was great and they play great music as well. Try out their ice cream!

They have a variety of drinks and food with different flavors for those who are particular. Along with the matcha flight which is great to share (or have alone if you want ). Service is pretty solid and standard for a cafe. Interior is spacious but seems to be filled up by the popularity during peaks hours. There is a diversity of seating arrangements as well for varying occasions. Highly recommend just based on the drinks alone but also a plus for the seating inside.

    My second time here…read more Drinks: underwhelming. Not well proportioned ingredients between the chosen flavor, milk and matcha. Waterdowned with plenty of ice. Price: overpriced for both drinks and sandwivhes. Although I don't mind paying extra for a satisfying drink, this one is not one of those. Ambiance: the walls, decor, plants and furnitures needs plenty of improvement. It looked like they were going for a minimalist look but it seems too bland and all over the place. I appreciate the music but the overall ambiance is not very inviting. Service: self serve to order and they ask for tip? The customers are expected to clear the tables and put away food and drink containers. It doesn't make sense. Parking: it's downtown fullerton, unless you know the area, it might be difficult for you to find parking especially during peak hours. But there's a couple of parking structure nearby which is a plus because it's covered and free. By the way, I initially ordered the classic strawberry matcha for comparison to other matcha drinks I've had from other cafes and I came the 2nd time to try the matcha flight to give it a chance but I was underwhelmed on both times. On both occasion I ordered my drinks with coconut milk and it was so overpowering and matcha flavor is very mild and with addition of plenty of ice, it taste like a waterdowned green drink that's milky in flavor.
