2023-09-20 03:36:16It was a great night out in a while. The restaurant, on the first impression, already exceeded our family’s expectations. The store is small, but the seating was still spacious, and the ambience atmosphere was exciting. We felt like we finally a date night after 2 years, but this time with our little one.The ramen was great. I have had a few ramen at my downtown, but none was good in my opinion, except that one served in Yayoi restaurant.We both ordered the Special Tonkotsu ramen, one spicy and one not. Both were very delicious.

2023-09-03 21:05:47We have been here a few times but this time the food wasnt as good as earlier.The chicken leg was either reheated or overcooked, it was very chewy, difficult to eat. The veg ramen used to be delicious with thick broth and now the quality has gone down. It wasnt much flavorful either. Overall, the prices have gone up significantly in less than 2 years but the quality of food has gone down. This was our go to ramen place but wont be any longer.

2023-11-22 03:06:58The vegetable ramen here is outstanding, bursting with flavors, and the lychee soda is a delightful refreshment. The ambience of the place added a special touch to the dining experience with the seats and the ethnic drapery around the restaurant. Highly recommend for a ramen craving!

2023-07-22 19:36:53I recently visited this restaurant and had a Great taste, but lacking in substance.generally good experience. The food was quite tasty 😋, particularly the soup and noodles which were flavored perfectly. The egg added an extra depth to the meal which I appreciated.However, my main critique lies with the meat portion size. It seemed as if there was only a small piece of 8 cm meat that came with my dish. This made it seem as though what I was really purchasing was mostly the soup and noodles, rather than a complete meal. Considering the price I paid, I expected a more substantial serving of meat.Im not sure if this is due to increasing food costs or just their standard portion size but it would be great to see them improve on this and provide better value for money.Overall, while I enjoyed the flavors of my meal, I left feeling slightly underwhelmed by its lack of substance

2023-07-06 18:22:02Stumbled up Ramen Izakaya Yu-Gen off of yelp! We were seated outside via yelp waitlist.We ordered:-geso karaage (Squid legs) $11-kakuni ramen $17-tonkatsu deluxe ramen $20-house sake (hot) $9 each-pitcher sapporo $18.75Food overall was good. Ramen is a bit overpriced compared to competition. Nonetheless, still good eats.We parked in the lot closest to the strip. I didnt realize MV still had street still completely blocked off from traffic. Cool to see!

2023-10-08 21:33:38I had the Chicken Katsu Curry that includes a nice salad. When you order you specify the spice level. The spice is not so much a hot, burning peppers, but a mix of curry spices. The chicken Katsu was moderately sized and freshly fried. The curry sauce is served in its own container, so you can pour it on as you like. Tonkotsu ramen here is also very good. Wait staff here are friendly and efficient. Payment is done table side with a Toast unit that makes it easy for individuals to pay separately.

2023-05-29 22:55:25It lives up to the hype (and the prices). We had the tonkatsu deluxe, the tori paitan deluxe, takoyaki, and a peach soda. All of it was so delicious and filling. The standouts were the tonkatsu broth, the chicken leg, and the peach soda (the packaging was a nice touch, like it was a Capri soda). Great spot for a date night or an outdoor lunch on a lovely day. I will definitely be back.
