Crunchy Tofu Ramen
Alexandra E.

This was our first stop once arriving in the area. The restaurant was clean, and modern, easy to find. We were seated immediately, upstairs and helped by two people throughout, both super nice and thorough. We were able to order appetizers and had them delivered rather quickly. Food came out hot and fresh and full of flavor and all reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Was trying to find a place for ramen on a cold night and thanks to google we landed on the doorstep of Yasubee. Staff were helpful and polite. There are several tables to choose from in this brightly lit establishment. I will say that I am a fan of spicy but this was spicy on a whole new level when trying the ramen....proceed with caution if you choose to go that route. We weren't able to even eat half of the ramen due to the intense heat (no fault of the restaurant I did elect to go spicy). The karaage (pieces of fried chicken) was superb, very hot (right out of the skillet) and nicely spiced and lightly battered.

Since it's the time of the year to have some ramen, Yasubee in Chelsea came to mind. The place boasts a two-storey restaurant and looks like a fast food place, but don't be deceived; they offer full table service. We chose to dine on the second floor. The menu is simple, with two pages: one for food and the other for drinks. We started our dinner with chicken karaage and some local beer. We found the karaage moist and delicious. For our main entree, my partner had miso ramen and shoyu ramen for myself. To be very honest, the ramen experience is just okay. We had better ramen noodles and broth somewhere else. Although the customer service was awesome, that won't be enough for us to consider coming back here.

It was absolutely freezing in New York tonight so I thought I'd pop in to have some ramen after a work event in Chelsea and I'm so glad that I did. This place was everything I needed it to be. I was seated quickly. Since I was solo this time, it was easy to see that Oresti (sorry if I spelled it wrong :) ) was managing the floor by himself, all the while, being super attentive to the customers and noticeably kind to customers, staff, and delivery people that came through. It wasn't super busy for a Tuesday night, but was certainly busy enough to have been overwhelming for one person. He stood out in that way. It also helped that the food was great and arrived quickly. I'm a big ramen fan and have tried many. The miso ramen ($16) was salty and hearty. I was very happy. This place also has ample seating, with an upper level. It was great!

Shoyu ramen signature (not spicy) - good chashu!
Tansy W.

They have a good lunch special for under $20! I wasn't a huge fan of the ramen but it honestly wasn't bad. The lunch special comes with your choice of a bowl of ramen or tsukemen, plus a starter (gyoza or karaage), and an iced drink (lightly sweetened iced teas and even milk tea). I enjoyed the pan fried pork gyoza to start, which was good but pretty standard. We also ordered the karaage which was nice and juicy. The ramen didn't wow me but it wasn't bad - the chashu was very nice and tender though. They offered me hot broth to start which was delicious and a free mochi dessert. Service was great and friendly. We walked in without a reservation just fine (no one else was there). Overall, a good deal lunch for midtown!

Miso Ramen

I ordered DoorDash from Yasubee Authentic Ramen and I was honestly so impressed. Everything arrived fresh and perfectly packaged, but the real star was the broth. It was hands down my favorite part -- rich, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into it. The entire bowl was delicious and so satisfying. I'll definitely be ordering from here again. If you're craving authentic, comforting ramen, this place does not disappoint!

Shoyu Ramen
Athena L.

cute and pretty spacious ramen/tsukemen place in chelsea -- the staff is super friendly and on top of checking in on their customers regularly. decor is cute (all the way to the bathroom) and there's a second floor with extra seating i didn't notice at first. my partner and i ordered the shoyu ramen and tsukemen, plus the wasabi chashu. the wasabi chashu was pleasantly tender and rich with a bit of a bite from the wasabi. both shoyus were flavorful and savory, plus the noodles provided were thicker than your average ramen noodle and were plenty springy and nicely chewy.

Tsukemen
Ted P.

Was walking around and stumbled upon this new spot. Cozy interior and really nice people working there. We had the Gyoza small plate to start who co was great! Crispy and well seasoned especially for the price point. For entrees we had the Tsukemen and a Chashu Don. Both were good but wish there was a bit more meat in the Chashu Don as it felt like I was eating a veggie bowl since there were more veggies than meat.

AI generated "Japan" street scene in the restroom.  Eeeh, seems to be the vibe for this place.

Eh, how do you say "this is a bit mid" but in AI hallucinated Japanese and a Taiwanese accent? かなり平凡です Canary Heybondes. I average one Japan trip each year so I inevitably run across various forms of ramen. The flipside of this is that I have quite a bit of experience when it came to ramen, may it be abura (mazesoba), tsukemen, and other various regional styles, so I should be thrilled when Yasubee from Tokyo came over to the states...right? Honestly, I've never heard of them (unlike Mita Seimenjo which is a national Tsukemen chain with 55 restaurants) - Yasubee.us site claims their lineage from a ramen shop founded in 1950 at the tourist trappy Omoide Yochoko 思い出横丁 (Nostalgia alley) in Northwest Shinjuku, and it supposedly grew to 80 "beloved" stores across Japan. A red LED went off in my head. Yasubee is a popular name for salaryman restaurants in Japan due to the heroics of Horibe Yasubee 堀部安兵衛, a ronin warrior involved in the Ako incident (look that one up)...except on their logo it was rendered in Hirgana as やすべえ instead of kanji as 安兵衛, and one of the links on their site points to yasubee.com in Japan. That's for Tsukemenya Yasubee つけ麺屋 やすべえ, a small chain with 8 stores across Tokyo (not 80 across the country). They are a shop specializing in Tsukemen and there's no mention of their history there. You can say that there are lots of eateries named Yasubee in Japan and some are ramen shops. Was there one at Omoide yochoko dating back to 1950? Yes, but the name is rendered in Kanji, and considering that Japan is still under US occupation until 1955 with noodle flour not being easy to come by back then, in a location that was still rebuilding from rubble, the place (an izakaya) served yakitori and motsunabe (offal stew) with booze. They are still around today (shinjuku-yasubee.com) and they don't serve ramen (that's considered a Chinese import adapted for local tastes so traditional izakayas won't have it). Tsukemen wasn't even a thing until 1965 when it was made public (it was a staff meal of noodle scraps and leftover soup before), but it didn't get popular until the late 90s. So is there a Tsukemen Yasubee in Shinjuku? Yes, it opened in the mid-2000s in the Southwest when the Tsukemen style took off, but closed down in March 2025 due to that location being redeveloped. The other 8 restaurants in that chain are all between 5 and 15 years old. So okay, the lineage claim is bupkis, and they are a ramen franchisee owned by Kung Fu tea (founded in early 2000s Flushing by Taiwanese immigrants). How was the food? Well, the apps are basically a variation of what was served at Taiwanese tea joints with snack counters (like Quickly or Vivi Tea), what with the dumplings and fried chicken. Their gyozas were nothing special and their karaage is certainly very "popcorn chicken" (鹽酥雞) like. What about their noodles? It's very much phoning it in. How do you feel about a small-ish portion of thick Chinese stir-fry noodles (油麵) served chilled with a salty but watery soup on the side, with bits of pork belly and Katsuobushi (dried tuna flakes) on top? If you want the soup version they'll dilute it and throw the noodles within so it's...edible (but lacks personality). At 62 bucks for 2 people with 2 apps, a lychee highball (really just a can of Kungfu tea with some "well" sake) and the usual 19%, it's not expensive by midtown west standards. The service is decent (Mellie is hilarious) and quick, and the spot is chic and comfy. But damn the food is *meh*. The apt metaphor for Yasubee is the AI hallucinated "painting" in their restroom. Sure, it contained some generic Japanese words but you sure as hell can't nail down where the original subject matter was, and anyone who has been to Japan will pick up on how it's almost, but not quite like Japan itself. I guess you can say that about the food here itself.

I came during their soft opening in September! The staff was super attentive. The space has 2 floors which is nice with plenty of tables. The ramen/ tsukemen was good but I wouldn't say mind blowing. We got the karaage which was surprisingly really good - crispy and not dry! The edamame was light on the flavor. Just note this spot is part of the Kung fu tea brand portfolio so they sell the canned beverages on the menu too which I enjoyed!

Very nice staff and ultimately good Pulsd deal. However we almost got overcharged because they changed the terms of the Pulsd deal so we ordered based on what the app said and it turned out that wasn't what we actually could get. They also messed up our order. We got a miso ramen and a spicy shoyu. They gave us spicy miso and shoyu ramen. Also our drinks didn't come til after our food. Everything tasted great and staff was very nice. The pulsd deal being different was just annoying and the service was obviously mediocre.

Chris S.

Came here with friends on a Sunday night. The interior of the restaurant is nice and cozy. The servers were quick to come to us. Prices weren't expensive like a lot of ramen places. Unfortunately I will say that the ramen itself was pretty mid. Not much to say sadly. It was fine, I recommend getting it spicy for extra flavor. My friends weren't impressed either. It was just ok, I wouldn't mind coming back though.

The service at this spot is amazing but the food isn't so great. There aren't many options so If you do not eat pork, this is not the spot for you. Nice background music and paintings.

I will preface this review by saying I've had Ichiran at two locations in Japan, and one in Hong…read moreKong almost ten years ago, and when we booked our trip to New York, I knew we were going to visit the Times Square location- no question about it. My partner and I visited twice during our two night stay. The first day, we arrived on a Saturday at 3:35pm and I thought because it was mid day there would be no line. I was wrong. The line ended up taking about 15 minutes to order at the kiosks, and about another 10 minutes to be seated. The wait was very similar on the second day, even though we arrived around 6pm. The first day, we separated our tickets and the person behind the counter took our tickets. We ordered 2 Asahi Draft Beers, 2 Classic Tonkotsu Ramen + Topping Set Combos, Matcha Pudding, and a Premium Yakibuta which ran about $108.88. During our meal, we also added on 2 Matcha draft beers @ $12/beer. My highlight for this meal was the Premium Yakibuta. This is not something I would regularly order, but I'm so glad we did. It was tender, flavorful, and complemented the ramen really well. Another thing I really enjoyed was the matcha pudding. This was creamy, and had a great matcha flavor with a bouncy texture. On this day, I felt as though the broth tasted a little watery, but as I got down to the bottom it tasted like I had remembered. Maybe I just didn't mix it enough. On the second day, we ordered two Classic Tonkotsu Ramens, 2 draft beers, 2 eggs, and a matcha pudding. This ran us about $86. This time, I changed my customization to reflect a richer broth and it hit the spot! I'm thinking that's what I used to order when I visited Japan because it tasted exactly the same. I'm glad I was able to perfect my order, so that I can remember it for next time. Eating in the little cubby is its own experience. I personally enjoy how if you need something, you click the button and the staff comes to you. It's also nice to be able to open the partition wall if you want to eat with your party. Unpopular opinion, but I preferred to sit in the basement because they have little hooks to put your bags next to your legs rather than on the wall behind you. Overall - 10/10 experience and I will gladly eat here every day if I could!

I have a shrimp allergy and politely asked if the shrimp tempura could be substituted. The server immediately said no, without offering any alternative or showing much concern. He said I can remove it myself. I said so let the shrimp inside the bowl for me to remove? WTH. For a restaurant, especially one serving customizable ramen dishes, with a allergy list post on the wall by the counter where I sat at B1, a little flexibility or empathy toward food allergies would go a long way. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, which made the overall dining experience uncomfortable. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and sadly this visit fell short. The smashed cucumber was good. Spicy dumpling was good. Ramen broth was light, not as rich or flavorful as others. There are so many good ramen places in NYC, this Chinese Ramen place has lot of room to improve.
