I stumbled upon this spot when I was searching for food in the area after a doctor's appointment and the food and drink from here did not disappoint! This place is located inside the Smith Haven Mall so there's plenty of free parking, just make sure you park by the mall entrance where the food court is. Otherwise you'd be walking through the mall just to get to the food court. They had a good selection of food/drinks and I ended up ordering a Peach Fuji Apple Homemade Fruit Tea and the Grilled Shrimp 5 Course Bento Box. The bento box didn't look like it had much food: 8 small grilled shrimp, a few pieces of fried chicken, white rice, salad and a miso soup. However, despite not looking like much, I was pleasantly full and satisfied at the end! The shrimp was very flavorful as was the fried chicken. The sauce that came with the bento box was good though I'm not sure what it was exactly. The drink was really good too, with a few slices of actual fruit and the liquid had a fizzy taste to it. It was very refreshing! Once you place your order, you get a buzzer and once that goes off, you return it for your food/drink. I would definitely return to order the same thing again or to try other menu items! read more

Yume Ramen & Cake - Grilled Tofu Skewer(Vegan)(3) - Desserts Near Me - Lake Grove, New York

Here's the Scoop! Here today at Smithhaven Mall walking around and felt a little hungry. So I decided to try out this Ramen place. There was a line that moved quickly. As I read over the menu a host was giving out tasters. Yesss, they were delicious fried chicken nuggets. I ordered the shrimp ramen with egg bowl with a side of the nuggets. Oh yessss, very tasty. The ramen had some back heat but not over bearing. The shrimp was seasoned and grilled. This meal hit the spot for a rainy day. I enjoyed it thoroughly and definitely will try this restaurant again. My fellow Yelpers if you're ever at Smithhaven Mall and want a filling tasty meal check them out. The menu many great choices. read more

Yume Ramen & Cake - Desserts Near Me - Lake Grove, New York

Located in the food court at Smith haven mall in Lake grove, NY you'll come across Yume Ramen. Yume Ramen has been a fan favorite for quite some time now and now, it became my favorite. Today I have in front of you their Kombu chicken ramen with EXTRA eggs. Nothing beats the cold with a nice bowl of ramen. Sweet suckling chicken with their half boiled eggs, uuuuf! The ramen broth is perfect, not to griney from the chicken or eggs but it packs flavor! So delightful and delicious. Highly recommend giving their ramen a try because they also have Japanese fried chicken! That's going to be my next option when I return again and again! Truly addicted. read more

I was at the mall today with some friends. There was one young girl who was behind the counter today, about 20. She seemed annoyed then I asked questions and pointed to the screen menu. She was not very warm. As far as food, there WAS a gluten free ramen option, which I appreciate to see. It was $18.50 (the gluten free made it $2 extra so beware celiacs). I explicitly stated "only a little spice" twice to the unbothered lady. When it came out, the meal was hot... and VERY SPICY. As someone with acid reflux, about 4-5 hours later, I felt a sharp stomach pain. I connected the dots, since I got way over "only a little spice." Food was out in 5-10 mins. I would come back on the condition people cared about their job. Otherwise, good place. read more

Entered, very loud music, not necessary, would not be able to converse. Walked out. This seams to be very common, making dinning out unpleasant. read more

This place is like a gem in the rough, if the 'rough' was considered the mall cafeteria. It has quite a selection to choose from: ramen, bento boxes, appetizers, desserts. There's even a small selection of packaged snacks and drinks to add to your order as well! I ordered a Kombu Chicken Ramen with a side of Orange Ramune and Black Thunder bars. The ramen itself good! Noodles had a nice chew, everything was nicely seasoned. A stellar dish considering its origins inside the mall. No need to explain how Ramune and Black Thunder tastes but its nice to know there's a local place I can pick up my Japanese treats! Overall, I think it's at least worth a visit. If not for the friendly service and good ramen, come pick up some Japanese goodies! read more

Had the beef bowl and the flavor was plentiful. The price is what you'd expect in a mall; therefore, it was fair. The harmony of the flavors in the beef bowl worked very well. I wished to have slightly more beef, but I was also really hungry so maybe that's why haha. Having been to other spots like this, I definitely recommend it. It wasn't skimpy. read more

I've tried numerous ramen places around the island, so please consider that I know what I'm saying, when I say this is the worst ramen I've ever had. Both the broth and the noodles are terrible. Nobody in my group finished it, and some went to get better food elsewhere. read more

Loved this place UNTIL TODAY. I have eaten here 5 times. Never again. I ordered the egg fried rice and it was SO DRY. I simply asked for sauce. NOT soy sauce, a small amount of dumpling sauce or something equal. They told me NO multiple times. Even asked cook. Was told NO again. So I'll tell Yume Ramen, NEVER AGAIN. D**KS read more

I read about the opening and was anxious to try Yume. I have now been back twice. The quality and variety of Japanese dishes is rare for this area. It's your best option in and around the Smithhaven Mall. I will definitely return to try different menu items. There are so many intriguing ones; things like squid croquettes and cauliflower tempura in a plum sauce are exceptional. I haven't yet tried the ramen, but I know it will be off the charts. Run don't walk to Yume! read more

good food, good service. although it may be ramen from a food court in the mall don't knock it. it was a good portion of noodles, broth tasted great and was a hearty meal. also treat yourself to the popcorn chicken, the accompanied sauce was excellent. i got the shoyu ramen, it's my go to at all ramen shops. I was happy. must try if you are a fan of good ramen. read more

The fired chicken is all grease. I ate the food during the day at 5am I was throwing up violently and for the next 12 hours. I've never been so sick in my life read more

Don't fe fooled by the food court. This is great ramen prepared by a fantastic and friendly chef!! The vegan ramen and spicy vegan ramen are our favorites. You don't have to be vegan to enjoy them- we add an egg. Be sure to try the tofu buns - they are magical! These guys do dine in and take out options. Soooo good! read more

This place is amazing! The food is made fresh to order and you can definitely taste it. The guy at reg was super nice and the guy giving out samples was super chill and made me and my friend super comfortable. While it may be in a food court, the front is super aesthetically pleasing. Everything on display is perfectly lined and it all looks so good. The pricing of the food per amount you get is perfect. My friend and I got bento boxes and even after sharing, it left us full with a bit left over. We got the dango as a dessert afterwards and it slapped read more

pretty good food! the owners of this fine establishment were so kind and generous to me and my girlfriend!

fantastic!! was checking this spot out with a friend and the person handing out samples in front of the counter immediately caught our attention and was extremely nice and very personable. he gave us samples of some of their fried chicken (which was delicious), then after talking with us for a bit, he recommended we try the bento boxes, as well as a couple imported beverages from their fridge (which were absolutely excellent). my friend and i got the chicken and the shrimp boxes and shared them; they were absolutely delicious and perfectly portioned (especially for the price of roughly $13 each) so we were left satisfied and full and even had a little bit to spare! they came with a salad, miso soup, white or fried rice, shumai dumplings, and either the chicken or shrimp, all of which was top-notch. everything was made to order and you could definitely taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients. the person who was working the register and preparing the food was incredibly kind to us as well; when we went back to get a dango stick for dessert, he gave us an extra one for free, which was very generous and absolutely delicious. food aside, for a small storefront in a mall food court this place was visibly very clean and well-kept, and the general aesthetic and layout of everything gave off a great vibe as well. we will definitely be back the next time we're at the smith haven mall; i highly recommend you support this place and check out their wonderful food! read more
