Cute little shop for tofu pockets in Buena Park! Love the variety of flavors and even tho they may look small, they are super filling! Favorites were the eel, ginger tuna, and salmon. We received the food super quick after ordering as well.
Atoyubu offers cool pockets of rice-filled tofu skin topped with a wide selection of meat of your choice. We got the garlic butter crab (which is fake crab), salmon, bulgogi and eel. All were very good. This place is located right at the entrance in Ranch 99 which is a grocery store. These are great grab and go food to munch on for a quick bite or meal!
I was still hungry after eating at Marugame Udon (their regular bowls look like a kid's bowl now) and figured I could get a small snack at Atoyubu, inside 99 Ranch. The yubu is priced around $5-$6 each. I ordered a fresh salmon, based on their recommendation. It was nicely packaged (love the bag logo) and even came with a Dum-Dum lollipop. The yubu was large, though most of it was rice. I'd probably need to eat at least three for a meal, if not four. The yubu are for mostly for takeaway as there's nowhere to eat inside the market - though there are some tables outside. Atoyubu is open 11am-2pm and from 4-8pm.
This little stall in 99 Ranch plaza always look like it's not open because usually there is no one at the counter. I finally gave it a try and I really like all the different variety it offers! I got the spicy pork, buldak chicken, bulgogi and salmon. The rice is encased in a yellow tofu pocket. The flavor of all 4 were bold and delicious but the little tofu pocket easily falls apart after one bite. Next time I will try more of the different flavors.
So happy there's an Atoyubu in this 99 Ranch! It's a great spot to stop for a quick bite. Service was friendly and helpful, and they kindly let us know that the portions are actually pretty large. I wasn't super hungry so I just ordered two items from Atoyubu's top 5 menu: the Spicy Tuna and the Salmon. Both were incredibly flavorful, fresh, and generously portioned, so very filling and satisfying. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items! Ambiance is casual, since it's a counter inside 99 Ranch, although this a super nice and spacious 99 Ranch. Grab yourself some Omomo too for a great food and drink combo!
Atoyubu is inside the 99 Ranch Market in Aliso Viejo. I ordered the spicy Tuna. It was fresh and yummy. It's wrapped with tofu and rice and tuna. They have a lot of other options.
Atoyubu translated from Korean means "gift of tofu skin". Located at the enterance of the 99-Ranch Market in Aliso Viejo this place serves up a large selection of tofu skin pockets filled with seasoned rice and topped with a protein and some sauces. I settled on 3 to try out. This is a TO-GO place as there is no place to sit inside 99-Ranch. Spicy tuna ($5.39) - Made with freshly chopped tuna and a special spicy sauce. I could tell the tuna was fresh, however I felt the spicy sauce was too much and spicier than I expected. Garlic butter crab ($4.79) - This consisted of imitation crab marinated in garlic butter with fried garlic garnish. I loved the taste of the garlic butter with the freshness of the crab. It was my favorite out of all the yubus I tried. Grilled bulgogi ($5.39) - This yubu was made with Korean BBQ style sweet and savory beef belly. The beef was so tender and flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed the taste of each of these yubus. The sea food was so fresh and the quantity was larger than another yubu spot I visited. I'd skip on the spicy ones as I found the sauce to be too overpowering and it took away from the freshness of the ingredients.
Ranking: 1. Lemon pepper salmon- I liked the lemon pepper, salty and sour! 2. Bulgogi on fire - the spicy sauce on top is similar to the buldak sauce. There's a good amount of crispy things 3. Garlic butter crab - didn't really taste the garlic... Inari comes off so easily. As an inari conneuseur, the inari had the perfect bite, it wasn't too chewy or too soft, and it wasn't too sweet. The rice was soft and the flavor wasn't overpowering. They're huge, it's kinda difficult to eat unless you have a big mouth. It's inside the 99 ranch I'd come back again! It's kinda hard to find inari as good as this. The price is a little insane tho- $17 for 3.
I've had this place booked marked but another location for a while but I think this one just opened up near where I work?? I literally only tried the imitation crab one with the little fish eggs/popping boba thing (my boss said it was popping boba??? But it tasted like masago) It was so soft and fluffy and I inhaled it. I can't wait to come back to try the other ones!!!!
Awesome little diamond in the rough of 99 Ranch Market in Aliso Viejo. They have the most splendidly delicious Atoyubu! Would recommend in order of preference but all amazing!! 1. Lemon pepper Salmon 2. Fire Bulgogi 3. Salmon That's all you need to know. Very filling, fresh and full of flavor. The Bulgogi is spicy keep in mind for those with light pallets. Service is friendly, attentive and quick. Always stopping here when I come to the Ranch! Enjoy!
Right as you enter the 99 ranch, it is on your right. It's a cute little counter and you can see the yubu being made. Everything is made to order and costs about $5 each. Pricey? Yes, but they are deceptively filling (that's a good thing!). I got about 5 and shared it with my husband and we were stuffed afterwards! FYI Some of the yubus they will use the torch on it so you get that charred taste. The flavors we got: - Spicy Tuna (4/5): I was warned by the worker beforehand it was very spicy. He did not lie! It is spicy, but still tasty! - Garlic Butter Crab (5/5): Creamy and yummy, super stuffed! - Grilled Bulgogi (4/5): Def got that char taste, but didn't mind on this one - Spicy Pork (5/5): Loved this one. Not AS spicy as the spicy tuna. Enjoyed it. - Grilled Eel (4/5): A BIT too sweet/charred for me, but still good. They didn't have some of the flavors available, but will definitely come back to try them! This place is a hidden gem for now. Took about 10 minutes to get my order, might take longer if there is a rush.
The store is located inside the 99 Ranch. The two flavors we got were Garlic Butter Crab and Grilled Bulgogi. We enjoyed both, but if I personally like the crab one more. The filling to rice ratio was perfect (thin layer of rice at the bottom). We waited around 10 minutes to get our food after ordering. It takes a little while as everything is made to order. There's no seating inside. However, you'll find a couple tables outside if you'd like to enjoy them right away.
I stopped by the new Atoyubu location that opened in Aliso Viejo (it's inside the 99 ranch market) and I can confirm that it is just as good as the other locations! I came a little late so I was unfortunately not able to get my favorite, the lemon pepper salmon, but it gave me a reason to try a different menu item, the popping salmon. I thoroughly enjoyed all the different yubus I ordered. The eel had a wonderful char flavor that really elevated the yubu. I have a decent spice tolerance but the spicy tuna definitely had a kick. I'd say it's like a buldak level spice. Tolerable but definitely builds as you eat it. If you still want something spicy but don't have a great spice tolerance I recommend the popping salmon as the mix of the spice with mayo mutes the spice to an enjoyable level. In terms of the service, the people working there are very nice and knowledgeable about their menu. There is unfortunately no seating indoors but you can find seating outside around the corner near marugame or omomo.

Got the 3 flavors from Atoyubu: fresh salmon, garlic imitation crab and grilled eel! Services were great and fresh and it is located in the 99 ranch so it was quite busy. For $16 for all 3, I would say it is more on the expensive side so I'd only get this as a snack Fresh salmon 5/5 this one was my favorite, it was fresh and loaded with lots of salmon. I do wish it has a bit more sauce for the flavor since it was very subtle. However, still good :) Grilled eel 3/5 this was my least favorite as the sauce is a bit on the sweeter side which I don't usually like for my eel. The eel was also very bony? Definitely my least favorite, not sure if I'll get this again Garlic imitation crab 4/5 the garlic paste on top was good at the beginning but it began to taste very weird to be toward the middle? It kind of left my mouth with a tingly feeling and wasn't pleasant to eat at all. I do like the flavor but it became very repetitive afterward read more

Located inside the new 99 Ranch supermarket in Aliso Viejo. Pros: - Made to order, you know that quality isn't compromised. Perfect size for a snack or have several as a meal. - Variety of flavors from cooked to seared to marinated raw. - Excellent service. They were more than happy to recommend and explain for those who haven't tried! This is my 1st time here, but I'm not unfamiliar with the food. - Price is reasonable for the kind of filling that they offer and they make sure to stuff each pocket generously. Cons: - Parking might be a pain if you go during peak time..but that's normal with the town center in general. - Since it's made to order, I can see that wait time might be a con in the future. - Eating it can get messy. Don't be fooled by the cute pockets. Tip: Get the myungran crab. It's the perfect amount of creamy, not too sweet with a toasty note from the scorching. read more

If you like inari, then you will be pleased with the assortment of choices at Atoyubu. I need to go back and try other options! The staff is very kind and explain their menu well. It's a small area in the corner right as you enter 99 Ranch, you can't miss it! read more

Finally got to try this place and see the new plaza. They've definitely invested a lot into building out this plaza and who isn't glad to have this Ranch99 and food court inside! Our favorite flavors were the grilled eel, bulgogi, and lemon salmon. I think the beef lamb one was too Mediterranean for me while eating tofu skins. The spicy ones are definitely spicy if you can't handle a big spice kick. They're pretty filling since there's a good amount of rice below but they definitely give you enough topping to be satisfied. Overall, definitely would recommend trying if you're in the area. read more

Such a fun way to have a snack before or after shopping at the supermarket! Fresh, delicious, and healthy for sure! They come in little big pickets of tofu packed with your choice of protein such as salmon, tuna, crab, and bulgogi. For a first timer, I went for the salmon. It came with rice and a light mayo (I think). The counter is located just at the entrance of the supermarket. It's plain you can almost pass it or even ignore it because it seems not even operational. The hours are limited. It is open from 11 am to 2 pm and 4 pm to 8 pm. It is worth giving it a try! read more
We had high hopes for this place and love another place with inari sushi but this didn't quite meet the hype. Don't get me wrong. The sushi was fresh but the actual rice and tofu combo wasn't that great. Probably won't go here again since there are way better places. Otherwise, the service was great and everything else was fine. This place is located inside 99 Ranch, which can be a little confusing when you pull up. Also, the spicy tuna was drenched with sauce and was much spicier than expected. read more

My wife and I had finished shopping at Ranch 99 when we decided to get a snack at Atoyubu. We're glad we did! It's a fusion Korean-Japanese snack of tofu wrapped around rice and topped with lots of fresh salmon and chopped scallions and some sesame seeds. It's served with wasabi, ginger and soy sauce. It's utterly delicious! They also have lemon-pepper salmon, spicy tuna, garlic butter crab, and grilled bulgogi. It tasted so good I'm sure I will get around to trying them all. The gentleman at the counter we ordered from was very friendly and helpful. Since it's a takeout only restaurant we ate at a nice, pleasant counter within the 99 Ranch store. I thought it was a great way to reward myself after a shopping trip, especially as the dish is healthy. read more

5/5 If you haven't tried ATOYUBU yet, you're seriously missing out on one of the most unique and addictive eats in OC! This spot takes the classic yubu pocket (tofu skin stuffed with rice) and completely elevates it with bold Korean-inspired flavors and gorgeous presentation. Every pocket is a mini masterpiece -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. I tried a variety box and loved every bite. The spicy tuna and bulgogi pockets were my top picks -- perfectly seasoned, with the right balance of heat and sweetness. Even the veggie options were packed with flavor, so it's a great choice for everyone. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and really care about consistency. The staff were super friendly and patient while explaining all the different options (there are a lot, and you'll want them all!). The shop itself is clean, bright, and modern -- perfect for a quick bite, a casual date, or grabbing takeout. Prices are reasonable for the quality -- especially since everything looks and tastes like something out of a trendy Seoul café. Trust me, it's totally Instagram-worthy too! Must try: Spicy tuna yubu, bulgogi yubu, and the salmon pockets. Location: Buena Park (easy parking, too!) Can't wait to go back and bring friends. ATOYUBU is hands down my new go-to comfort food spot! read more
Worker was very nice, showing us what they had and what wasn't available. There was no wait to order, and the food came out fairly quickly. The ones we got were very flavorful and surprisingly portioned. Can't wait to try more! read more

I was craving fish for lunch today, so I headed to Atoyubu -- my go-to spot whenever I want fresh, flavorful seafood. I'm so happy they're opening more locations, because everyone deserves to fall in love with this place the way I did. I visited the new Aliso Viejo location, which is much closer to my house than the Buena Park one. They're open from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM and 4:00 PM-8:00 PM. This new spot is inside 99 Ranch Market, right in the corner as soon as you walk in -- super easy to find. The staff is always kind, patient, and helpful when explaining all the different flavors. I ordered: * Spicy Eel Yubu * Fresh Ginger Tuna Yubu * Myungran Crab Yubu Let me just say, the Spicy Eel and Myungran Crab are my absolute favorites. The eel is incredibly fresh, melts in your mouth, and has such a satisfying burst of flavor. The Myungran Crab is also packed with flavor, and they never skimp on the amount of meat -- which I love. Now, the only downside today was the Fresh Ginger Tuna Yubu. The color was a little off, and the flavor didn't taste as fresh as the first time I tried it. The first time, it was amazing -- bright, fresh, flavorful -- but today, it just wasn't the same. So I might take a break from that one for now and try out other options. Overall though, this place is absolutely worth trying. With so many flavors on the menu, I'm excited to come back and work my way through all of them. Fresh fish lovers -- this spot is for you. read more

First time here. No expectations. I got the lemony salmon and its .. nothing. No wow for me. It's just like sushi minus the seaweed wrap. Pricey for me. Service was alright. Cashier was helpful. Ambiance? It's inside the 99 ranch store. No chairs or tables. You wait for your name to be called once your order is ready. Will I come back? I am not sure. I just tried it since it is something new. A little messy to eat if you pick it up with your hands. Use the spoon or chopsticks. I didn't know they have gloves for you to use.. oh well, I wasn't informed by the cashier about it. read more
