    I've never had ramen like this before; the miso soup base is delicious and the pork slices are not stringy and full of fat.

    The food are all amazing! I've never had ramen like this before; the miso soup base is delicious and the pork slices are not stringy and full of fat like every other ramen restaurant does it. Their cheesecake was the best I've ever had, as well; creamy and divine. Our server, Ventura, is the best! He is knowledgeable and personable. Me and my family will be coming back soon!

    It was a cold day in NY and we wanted soup! Service was nice and friendly. Establishment was clean and orderly. However the dishes we ordered, dry and soup ramen, wontons and extra meat, fell short. The ramen broth wasn't rich. The tsukemen broth wasn't thick as it should be, and they used the same noodles as they did for the soup ramen. Typically tsukemen ramen has thicker noodles, and a thicker broth for dipping. The wontons were definitely frozen and tasteless. Also the egg wasn't as good as the typical ramen egg you would expect. It was overcooked. The pros- great tasting pieces of pork. Overall, it satisfied our need for a warm meal. However there is definitely room for improvement.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Shoyu ramen signature (not spicy) - good chashu!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

We only had to wait about 15 minutes before getting seated. They definitely get crowded though, so it's best to have a reservation! During "lunch" hours, the place is brightly light. Once "dinner" hours comes around, they set out candles on the tables and dim the lights for a different ambiance. The service was a bit off at first, since we waited a while to get our appetizers. This might have been due to the change in staff between lunch and dinner. The hostess noticed and checked on our appetizers, and got them right out. Afterwards, we had different waiter and he was very friendly and attentive. We did the Pick 3 appetizers: -Kyuri (cucumber): love the mix of flavors with the onions, vinegar and salt. The kyuri has a good bite to them -Kimchi Mushroom: the mushrooms also had a good bite to them. Not too spicy of a kimchi sauce, which I liked as it did bot overpower the mushrooms. -Shishito: I enjoyed the saltiness of the kelp with the char of the shishito. I went for the Tsukemen, which I loved at the Brooklyn location. This was just as good! The noodles had a good bite and the right thickness for the rich broth. I like the lemon on the side to help cut some of the richness. The egg is well marinated and perfectly jammy. The Hassaku Grapefruit Juice is a nice non alcoholic option. Very grapefruity and too sweet. We ended with the Tokyo Banana, which had a deliciously bruleed banana. They wrote Happy Birthday on the plate and had a little candle on the side. We only put it in the reservation, so it was nice of them to do. Overall, a great ramen spot to check out!

I got the Spicy Tan Tan Ramen because I love to have spice in mine, but wish I was able to adjust the spice level. It was definitely super creamy, thick, and filling.

For those who were afraid of getting the Spicy Tan but still wanted the spice, they suggested getting Classic Tonkotsu and having chili oil on the side to put in. I really debated which one I liked more!

We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.

This spot delivers the kind of authentic paitan that reminds you why people used to line up on cold sidewalks just for a bowl. I ordered the Paitan Ramen Deluxe, and it genuinely lives up to the name. The broth is silky, rich, and comforting without being overly salty which is exactly what a proper paitan should be. The bowl comes loaded: tender shredded chicken, seared chashu, marinated soft-boiled eggs, fresh scallions, bamboo shoots, and a sheet of nori that ties everything together. Every topping tastes intentional, not just filler. The texture balance is what really stands out fatty chashu that melts, shredded chicken with real flavor, and noodles that hold up beautifully in the broth. You can taste the care in the soup base; it has depth, not just heat or salt. If you loved Totto Ramen back in the day, this feels like its modern successor same spirit, new precision. Toribro isn't trying to reinvent ramen which they're just doing it right. And in NYC, that alone makes it worth a visit.
