Really delicious spot for ramen :) the broth isn't too heavy or salty and the noodles are chewy. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a yummy and satisfying bowl of ramen.
I got the tsukemen here and thought it was really good! The ramen is a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and portion is good. Compared the other ramen restaurants, the slices of pork here are thicker. They also allow a lot of customization for your ramen which was nice.
I found Yah Yah Ya Ramen as I was around Capstan way in Richmond and craved some ramen. The store itself its simple and clean, the area is spacious and there are some cute decorations. The staff were really attentive as I entered the store, being seated quickly at lunch time. I ordered the black garlic miso ramen and shoyu ramen combo with gyoza. The gyoza arrived quickly and was tasty. The main dish of black garlic miso ramen was really tasty, the broth wasn't too salty and flavorful. A quality dish for sure as the noodles was cooked just the way I liked it. I went for the hard noodles and normal broth and oil levels. It really hit the spot on a colder day outside. I also had the shoyu ramen combo, it had a heavier flavor and was definitely on the saltier side. Yah Yah Ya Ramen really hit the spot I wanted for ramen and I enjoyed my meal and time in there, would return whenever I'm in the area and craving a ramen. For the price point it's at I also encourage you to do so if you need a ramen fix!
Large shop with friendly staff! Food was good. Enjoy the texture of the noodles. Broth was ok. The ambiance of the shop was clean and spacious
My friend recommended Yah yah ya Ramen so i decided to come here for dinner. When I arrived, the place was packed and there were people waiting in the front entrance. They have a waiting list with pen and paper where you put your name and the number of people. 5-7 minutes later, our name was called and we got booth seats. The booths and tables were all wooden. The tables themselves were well cleaned. The downside is I felt the tables between the booth chairs were slightly cramped as a bigger person. The side walls are orange-yellow with large Japanese characters written on them. There's catchy Japanese pop music playing in the background. The wait staff are pretty average in terms of service. I asked questions about the menu and they answered me in a monotone and nonchalant kind of way. Later, my friend had to flag the staff a few times to order more noodles. They seemed too busy to notice. Some good things are that I got my ramen within 5-7 minutes after ordering which is pretty average for a ramen place. Later, the wait staff noticed our cups of water were low and quickly offered to refill it. They were also very quick to pick up our empty bowls and get our bills when we were done. I ordered the large shoyu ramen with a side of extra noodles. The large shoyu ramen has two pieces of chashu (braised pork belly), seaweed, spinach, and flavored egg. You won't be disappointed with their ramen. The chashu pork is tender and flavorful. The egg goes really well with the broth. The broth after finishing all the toppings in the soup was a delight to drink. I wasn't totally blown away by all the flavors but it was very good for ramen. (For the record, I have yet to be blown away by the flavors of ramen from any restaurant.) As for portion size, the large sized portion is definitely enough to make anyone full. They also have regular sized bowls. I had plenty of broth left over so I ordered extra noodles for $2.50. It's worth it if you are still hungry and want to fill up on a small bowl of noodles to enjoy with the leftover soup broth. My friend ordered the volcano ramen which is the spiciest ramen available. It includes chashu, bean sprouts, kikurage (wood ear mushroom), flavored egg, and chives. He loved it. He also ordered the mentaiko don which contains salmon roe, seaweed and rice. It was just OK. The salmon roe was noticeably very minced. One thing that's unique to this ramen restaurant is that you can choose how tough your noodles want to be, the intensity of the flavor (taste), and the amount of oil in the soup. I chose soft noodles with a normal taste and oil. I think this is the best option. Prices are fair, with the ramen soup bowls hovering around $15-19 depending on the type of ramen and size you choose. Overall, I would definitely come back to Yah yah ya in the future. I'd like to try their other ramen and possibly a side dish. Their most popular dish is the black tonkotsu ramen. It looks really good in the menu picture. I say it's worth trying out this restaurant if you're in the mood for ramen in the Richmond area. 4 stars out of 5.
Being from Yokohama, I knew I needed to try this place to see if it fixes my craving for ie-kei ramen that I ate since I was 5 years old. In Canada, this place is the closest to ie-kei ramen that I have tried so far. TIPS: Get hard noodle, heavy taste, more oil Then why was it 4 stars? -It was near closing time, and the waiter was just pacing back and forth infront of us -The extra spinach that I got did not look like it was extra at all -Karaage (fried chicken) was not very well marinated and not that juicy. I wish they had some sauce to compensate for the lack of flavor
Their quality improved from the last time that I've had it! ~ Shoyu Ramen $11.50 Yakibuta $3.25 Abura Soba $11.50 Takoyaki $5.75 ~ Haven't had takoyaki in so long, this tasted super yummy! The crispness of the outer layer, the soft batter inside and then that chewy tako in the middle . Just perfect! The Shoyu ramen kept with their standards and still taste great! That crispy chashu definitely enhanced the ramen together! The Abura soba was very flavourful as well. I've chose spicy but I guess they forgot and gave me non-spicy instead which was fine too. The noodles were soft and tender and it was well blended with the perfect soft boiled egg.
This place is famous for its ramen, but did you know they have smaller fare to make a budget combo? The spicy chashu don is $7.95 while the takoyaki is $6.95 The spicy chashu don has pulled chashu pork covered in a spicy but savoury sauce on steamed rice. The takoyaki is perfectly cooked with a light crispy coating and the doughy octopus filling inside. Great option for a quick weekend bite
I came here for lunch recently and tried their Shoyu Ramen with thin noodles. Overall, the soup is flavourful and the ramen is good and it's a pretty good value.
Any time we're out in Richmond, we have to take advantage of trying restaurants! Yah yah ya ramen is one of the restaurants I searched that had higher reviews than most. I don't like to base my opinion on a restaurant solely by reviews, since everyone has different tastes. I usually like to look at the pictures because we eat with our eyes! The pictures looked really yummy and it didn't hurt that they have good reviews as well! I got the tsukumen since not all ramen restaurants have this option, I felt that I should try it out. It was more soy based and clear than ones I had in the past. Quite salty but I enjoyed it! Noodles were cooked perfectly and charshu was tender and came with big pieces. My fiancé got the garlic miso ramen. It wasn't as thick and rich as other places, which I enjoyed! We love when we get combo options to try a small portion of appies they have!
Shoyu Ramen - housemade soy sauce (R $12.25): I got a light taste for the broth so it wasn't too overpowering or salty. I would suggest getting less oil as well. The regular noodles were nice and chewy, not too firm either. Portions are okay for the price! Black Tonkotsu - strong pork broth & black garlic sauce with thin noodle, large $16.25: Didn't adjust this one for anything so it had a very strong garlic taste and it was very salty. The thin noodles was perfect for this broth! The large bowl gives you an extra egg and more noodles. Seaweed, spinach, chashu, and egg included. The bamboo shoots were included for the tonkotsu one. The egg was cooked really nicely and the chashu is tender with the thick cut. This is how you can adjust your bowl! Noodle texture - hard, normal, soft Taste - heavy, normal, light Oil - more, normal, less Their ramen is pretty standard so nothing stood out to me, but I would still go back! They only have around 5 tables available and they are busy during peak hours. The server was really efficient and friendly too! Me and my family got in and out within 40 mins.
This was probably my 4th time here since they've opened in Richmond. To be fair, I've given them plenty of opportunities to redeem themselves in my mind but... I think this would be my last time here. Yah Yah Ya is an actual ramen chain from Japan. The exterior of the restaurant resembles the ones found in Japan. There's usually a line up during meal times. You'd go in the restaurant and write your name and wait for your turn. As usual, the service from Japanese servers were always polite and courteous. We ordered: 1) Black tonkotsu ramen, 2) cold ramen bowl and 3) spicy miso ramen with mentaiko bowl. For the two hot ramens, we found the broth wasn't very rich. I had asked for strong flavor but it was still not rich enough. The chashu was a little on the bland side but what really discounted the points, in my mind, was the broth. The cold ramen bowl was ok. They didn't put enough sauce in it and the chashu that came with it was also bland. In conclusion, I think Yah Yah Ya is a decent place for ramen but I'm just extremely picky about my ramen. The ramen broth is everything to me. However, if you're craving ramen and don't want to drive all the way to Vancouver or Downtown, this would be a closer option, for those who live in Richmond.
I was visiting Vancouver for work and got to see my close friend as well. For dinner, she read great things about this place, so she suggested that we go here. I love ramen, so it was an easy yes! Our visit was on a Saturday evening, so it was very busy and lively. We were warmly greeted by a young waitress and she took us to our seat (which was in the middle area of the restaurant). Then she brought us water to start and left, so that we can settle in and pick our order. For our order, my friend chose Shoyu Ramen and I picked Tantanmen. A few minutes later, our order arrived and it smelled so good! My friend said she enjoyed the ramen- the two pieces of chashu were juicy, the noodles were chewy and the broth had just the right amount of salt. I enjoyed my ramen as well- the blend of noodles, pork, and veggies in the rich broth was delicious. We enjoyed our visit, it was a great way to end our day with a warm bowl of ramen! If you are in the area, check this place out! read more

We've driven from Washington state (USA) to Richmond twice already just to have this ramen. If you're looking for flavor that matches an experience you had in Japan or would like to try authentic ramen this is the place! Their broth is soooo strong and packed with flavor. The noodles can be customized to your liking if you prefer a soft or more firm noodle, you can even just do normal. I've tried the shoyu and shio, both are great choices! Their side dishes also taste wonderful. The karaage has a perfect crispiness on the outside and is juicy once you take a bite. Their pork karaage melts in your mouth it's so good. Most recently we visited closer to the end of lunch service and there was a bit of a wait but the servers were quick with cleaning tables and providing wait times. We saw how accommodating they were to even later joiners, letting them know that the kitchen was closing soon and providing them with menus to give time to decide. Dining experience has been consistently pleasant so far and the location is right next to very popular milk tea places for a dessert right after! read more

Great ramen, dependable quality, flavor, and quantity. The service here is awesome, and even though they get full pretty quickly, the lineup moves relatively fast. All of their broths are flavorful and done well. read more

The broth could use some work; but also could be because we picked "normal" for broth thickness. It turned out to be way too light and thin. The flavoring is mild, the soy taste is a little strong for my liking. Inside seating is available; it's very limited. They encourage take-out. Prices are reasonable (it was $11.50+tax for regular shouyo). But after I had the ramen, i understand why this place has cheaper prices than other ramen places downtown. Service was lovely. They have single stall bathrooms available inside. read more

Got a regular sized shio ramen ($12.25). You get to choose soup richness (heavy, normal, light), noodle texture (hard, normal, soft), and oil level (more, normal, less). I got normal, normal, and less. Broth wasn't too salty, egg was cooked just right, and noodles were great but there was something off about the meat, it didn't exactly taste like chasu. It was tender but the flavouring wasn't it, I think they need to roast it more. The regular size isn't a whole lot but fine for me (they also offer a large size). read more
Tgis is a small place, nestled in-between Richmond Sushi and Super2000 grocery store. I ordered the black tonkotsu ramen. When you order, you have options for the softness of the noodles, richness of the soup and amount of oil. Options: Noodle: hard, normal and soft Soup: heavy, normal and light Oil: More, normal and less I asked for normal noodle, normal soup and less oil. The soup was rich, flavorful and thick so maybe next time, I'll try 'light'. I'm not sure how "heavy" would be as normal is still rich in my opinion. I also asked for thin noodles instead of thick. The noodles I got were different than the noodles my friend got. She ordered the shiro ramen. When you go, you out down your name and party size on a clipboard that is hanging near the door. read more
"Do you like ramen?" "Yah yah yah-betcha I do!" Here at yah yah yah ramen, they are notorious for their sets! We got their garlic miso ($12.95), regular miso($11.95), and paired them with the chicken karrage, and gyoza dumplings! (3.75 with pairing each). * The garlic miso ramen was super delicious, a bit heavy in flavouring but that's what's amazing about ramen! The garlic was on point but my breathe wasn't after this. The noodles were chewy and the meat was tender * The regular miso ramen was still delicious, flavourful, and rich was well. I personally love the garlic miso more but that's cause I live for garlic . * Their chicken karrage was well seasoned and juicy, and the gyoza was super juicy and the filling was soft! Perfect pair for the ramen combo. * If your looking for some warm and rich ramen on a cold night or day this is an amazing place to do so! read more

This has been on my to try list for a long time and I wasn't disappointed. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by everybody and I was instantly back in Japan. Boy was I ready for some tasty ramen. The menu was simple and to the point. I was going to just get the Ramen bowl but was tempted by the set dinner that came with a bowl of ramen and a small bowl of Negi-Chashu Don. The Ramen You can choose from 4 different soup bases, noodle hardness, strength of taste and oil levels. I went with the Shoyu Ramen - normal noodles, normal taste, normal oil. The Ramen comes with half egg, seaweed, spinach and fatty chashu in delicious pork bone soup base. The soup base was rich, the noodles were just right and the chashu was fatty and tender. Near the end however, the soup did get too salty for me. I may have to go with a light taste next time. The star of the meal however was the Negi-Chashu Don. Braised pork with japanese mayo and onions on soft japanese rice. So simple but the combination was perfect. Not much else to say other than you must get the set so you can have some of this. I went back and forth with giving them a 3 or a 4 but I decided their Don and the very polite service pushed them over. They are a small little restaurant surrounded by many other good stores so it's easy to miss them. I encourage everyone to come try for themselves next time they are in the neighbourhood instead of your regular joint. read more
Recommended by a friend when I asked for ramen suggestions in Richmond. We went on a Saturday night around 7pm and I actually expected there to be a huge wait considering it was a weekend but it wasn't too bad. Servers were pleasant and provided us with menus while we waited to expedite things once we got in. My boyfriend adheres to a vegetarian diet and was pleased that Yah Yah Ya had both a vegetarian and vegan option for him. He went with the vegan option and said the spinach ramen was really good. I order the blank tonkotsu with a side of gyoza. I honestly found my soup to be adequate but not amazing or super flavorful. It was good enough to satiate my craving for ramen but I guess I was hoping for a more 'wow' experience or meal since Richmond and Vancouver are known for their food. Overall, Yah Yah Ya got the job done and we both left feeling full and happy we got ramen but the next time I visit Richmond I'll likely try another ramen place opposed to going back. read more

With the weather getting cold and rainy, I've been craving hot soup with noodles, which made me think of ramen. I thought that this place would be less busy than G-men, which had a 1 hour wait when I called Saturday afternoon. So we decided to try Yah Yah Ya. We were surprised to see that there was a line up here too! We quickly wrote our name down on the waiting list and was quoted a 25 minute wait time, which turned out to be quite accurate. Service is prompt and efficient. Water appears to be self-served after the first glass. For the noodles, you can choose soft, regular, or hard. You can also choose less, normal, or more oil. And for the soup, light, regular, or heavy. Other than these customizations, their menu is not that extensive, which I like. Spicy miso ramen ($11.25): A very spicy and slightly sour soup, with the spiciness being so overpowering I could not taste the miso. This came with two chashu pieces, lots of bean sprouts, and half a flavoured egg. Chashu don combo (extra $3.25): For the price, I definitely recommend this. It's a very tasty bowl of rice with shredded chashu on top, with some mayo and green onions. The chashu is soft and has this delicious flavour that I can't explain. It also comes in a meal-sized portion for around $6, and it's so delicious that I might do that next time! However I do like slurping my ramen then taking a couple bites of chashu rice and repeating. When I'm craving ramen and want to eat in Richmond, I will have Yah Yah Ya on my mind. They have take out too - and they pack toppings, noodles, and soup separately! Yum! read more
Yah Yah Ya Ramen is located at Union Square in Richmond, it just right beside Super 2000 supermarket. It opened for a while but I never have any intention to try it out. I suggested to my colleagues to go for ramen at lunch. We were there before they're getting busy. You can customize the ramen as your preference, choose the noodles - Hard, normal or soft, Pick the broth - Thick, normal or light, choose Char Siu - Fatty or Lean We ordered our own ramen, my ramen's charsius were cold and too fatty and broth was bland. We added the soft boiled egg like hard-boiled egg. Overall, all of us were quite disappointed. read more

We tried the Shoyu (soy sauce) and Shio (salt) ramen and the broths were both rich and comforting. They allow you to choose the level of flavour/salt, and we went with the highest level, but if you desire a lighter broth, you can opt for that. The meat was a bit on the leaner side but was still extremely tender. I do wish it was more roasted on the outside. The egg was nicely soft boiled, but there was nothing special about the marinade--just a basic soy sauce. I did appreciate the side of fresh and fried seaweed with the Shio ramen. The Shoyu ramen had dried seaweed and cooked spinach. read more
Came on a busy Sunday, put our name down and to my surprise was called pretty quickly. Fast turnover. Small restaurants. Pretty good service. Cash or Debit only! I ordered the spicy ramen regular size, all regular. It was ok, I thought the soup could have more flavor. I tasted the spicy but no other flavors, I added extra seasoning that was on the table, didn't help. Too bland for me. I did enjoy the noodles and the pork. Overall it was ok. read more

This ramen place is in the same plaza as Richmond sushi. There isn't a lot of parking but there is some. My boyfriend really liked this place and I would say it is one of the better ramem places in Richmond. I really prefer ramen from downtown because I find it much better. One of the things I really like is that you customize your ramen, how soft your noodles , how much oil and how much flavor. And you can add additional toppings for an extra cost.Also you can make it a set as well. I ordered the shoyu ramen with normal everything and my boyfriend got the spicy miso ramen set with the spicy chashu. The noodles were too hard for the normal texture and the flavor of my ramen was a bit on my the lighter side but the pork was quite tender. I enjoy the flavor profile was much better for the spicy miso. It was spicy but not to spicy but the noodles were also hard. The spicy chashu rice was really good we both enjoyed it. I would come here again and try ordering soft noodle and more flavor. The place was small but cosy. read more

I visited this place on Saturday afternoon. I usually come this place for lunch when I have something to do in Richmond. I was so unlucky on that day as food was not properly prepared for me. When I took a first sip of soup, it was not hot at all. Then I tried my husband's soup, it's hot. Since I did not have time, I decided not to ask server to replace. When I had noodles, it was hard although I requested regular hardness. I found that the soup at the bottom of the bowl was hot. I assumed that the a cook add some soup from stock, which is not boiled yet. Also, as the restaurant was busy, the noodles was cooked too fast. When I left the restaurant, I mentioned about it for the restaurant to learn. read more
The ramen worth crying for! My 4 years old cried for half an hour when we got there but couldn't get in in time before their lunch break. It is our go to ramen place in Richmond. I think it's better than some of the downtown ones! You get to choose heavy medium and light for soup and oil, and soft medium hard for noodles. Feels like you are in so much control for your ramen! I like the spicy miso, my hubby like the garlic tonkatsu. My kiddie just steals all the eggs. My newest favourite is their veggie mountain. $3.75 for that big a bowl of veggie?! I am sold! And ramen always feels like not enough veggie for me, now I get my veggie quota met. And it's actually seasoned nicely. My tip is to get there early! Line up is usually long after 6pm. And they stop taking customers around 1:30 to make their 2:30 break time. read more

Customer service was top notch. Seated right away, with menus & tea served shortly after. Each server had a smile on their face, a rarity in any establishment. Ordered the large shoyu ramen ($12.75) which came to the table in less than 5 min & piping hot. The chashu was tender, the broth was rich (ordered it heavy), so much yummy chewy noodles (ordered them normal), the egg had just enough flavour, loved the 3 large pieces of seaweed. The chicken oil was a tad heavy even though I ordered it light & a little more spinach would've been better since it was a large bowl. These 2 things is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5; call me picky if you'd like...but if the rating had half stars, I would've given them 4.5. Be back soon! read more

It satisfies your ramen cravings but it's definitely not the best out there. I feel like the ramen broth is a bit too salty for all the ramens. I have been here way too many times because it's close to my house and work. No matter which taste selection I get it is still very salty. However, ramen will always be cooked perfectly as you request. Also the oil level is done right. It is average price for ramen and the side dishes from the combos are actually good. Overall it's an okay ramen place to go to but don't have high hopes. I feel like it is just very salty and it doesn't bring in the flavour. read more

Had dinner with a friend last Friday and the place was busy but no lineup. Service is friendly and prompt. I had the Black Tonkotsu ramen and not really impressed. Chashu was not tender at all and kind of tasteless. The half egg in the ramen was also not impressive. We also had an order of chicken karaage and it was decent but wouldn't order it again. read more
