    3. Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen
    Amanda L.

    I enjoyed this meal! I got the spicy tonkatsu and tried the curry ramen. Both were pretty enjoyable. The meat was nice and charred and thick. My only thing is that the soup could have been slightly warmer and with a smidge more broth. I usually don't like a tone of broth but this was a little lacking (see photo). My friend got the seafood ramen and it looked really bad. He said it came cold which was confirmed with another person who tried the soup. The shrimp looked very overcooked and the scallops were tiny. We also tried the calamari and the takoyaki. The takoyai wasn't very good and the calamari also wasn't great but the sauce saved it a little. We also tried the white peach sake which didn't taste like alcohol at all. The hot teas and sodas are refills as well. Service was nice and the interior is very pretty and modern.

    We were hungry for some asian food for dinner. We ordered Ramen, hibachi chicken and chicken nuggets for my son. They were all very tasty. Nice ambiance and great customer service. Will be coming back definitely.

    Edamame $4.99 (7/20/2024)

    Yanagi Ramen made fans of me and my girls back on July 20, 2024. This modern Asian restaurant is in a newer plaza of Lubbock, TX. We were seated right away and had very nice, fast service. We ordered: Edamame $4.99 Black garlic ramen $13.99 Seafood ramen Edamame $16.99 Build your own ramen $14.99 I liked how they served an empty bowl on top of the little green boiled soybeans. This not only kept them moist from the kitchen to the table, but instead of using the same plate upon which they were served we used the bowl to discard the empty shells. I highly recommend the black garlic ramen. I had pork with mine. Their pork was very tender and delicate. The bowl was quite the chore for me to finish so I'd probably skip the edamame next time. Lol. The only thing that disappointed me was the women's restroom which was a single room with the toilet and sink. I do not think a single restroom particularly for women was enough especially when I simply needed to wash my hands. Great stop for lunch. Free, ample parking out front.

    9. Seafood Ramen

    Ramen 10/10- packed with flavor, perfect heat. If I returned it would be just for the ramen only Jalapeno bomb 2/10- lacked any flavor and hard crunch jalapeno. Zero crab taste and only cream cheese with no flavor. Pork buns 6/10- lacked flavor and minimal amount of meat for nearly $10 for two buns. We each had one slice of meat. Cups- the cup I had still had lipstick on it, husbands had food on rim. Clearly thrown in dishwasher and not actually scrubbed. Forks had food stuck to them. Bathrooms were yucky. It was cold outside but so hot inside it was uncomfortable with people fanning themselves.

    This is hands-down the best Ramen in Lubbock. Talk about authentic! On my first visit, I didn't actually have ramen. Rather it was the chicken katsudon that really called to me. That wasn't bad. The rice was high quality, but I knew I had to give them another shot to try out the ramen for an honest and true assessment. Cue visit number two. I led in with the perfectly pan-seared gyoza, the best way to start any ramen experience. These were absolutely incredible. Then the ramen. I had the spicy curry ramen and it was flawless! All the right ingredients and proportions. A perfect broth with the right amount of creamy and oily to it. The only thing that would have improved it would have been a bottle of shichimi togarashi on the table. Their menu also features a ton of other sides, starters, hibachi, and sushi. One particular roll had me very interested, so I'll be back for that, never mind the ramen. Prices are average and well worth it for great food. Staff was also great and friendly. Highly recommended for your ramen fix!

    Yanagi's is a nice, new place with subtle asian decor. The menu was full of options. The server didn't get the build-your-own ramen bowls correct, but the other food was delicious. Not everybody in my party liked the food, so I'll have to return on my own for a chance to try some more tasty food.

    Katsudon, omelet beneath is so soft and flavorful
    Paul L.

    This review is from a visit in December of 2023. Solid ramen option in Lubbock, been consistent since the last time we came. BMW roll hits, and chicken katsudon is delicious with a nice fluffy omelet underneath. You know when you go to a restaurant a couple times and then it starts to become a staple because you can vouch for its consistency and quality? That's where we're at with Yanagi-- great Japanese food for a good price that'll always hit on a rainy day. Competes well with Asian hotspot ramen places in LA or Dallas. We haven't had that ever in Lubbock, so I'm very happy with this restaurant.

    Nice place, great service, and decent food. Plenty of parking, easy in and out. Definitely worth a dining experience.

    Gyoza

    The order came out at a decent time, and our server was very attentive and nice. My friend and I both enjoyed our meals! I really liked the beef on mine.

    Bento box!

    Nice clean, modern environment! The selection menu was very diverse! I got the bento box which has a variety of foods! Others ordered the Ramen bowls and they were very tasty. Food is a little pricey but well worth the cost! Waitress was very attentive!

    Yellowtail jalapeño
    Britney F.

    Food was delicious. The yellow tail was THICK & the BMW roll had a ton of fish in it, which I like. I enjoy my fish to rice ratio to be mainly fish. Gyoza was perfectly cooked. Highly recommend!!

    Steak was cooked perfectly and had so much on the plate. Definitely worth the $15! Comes with soup before as well!

    I love just how clean and immaculate this place is maintained by the staff! They always appear…read morehappy and courteous (accepting/returning cash/cards with two hands!) and on the go; arranging, helping and cleaning. They obviously take price in where they work. They do not carry a huge variety of fresh vegetables but it is sufficient for me. They have the usual fare of Gailan, Bok choy, long beans and others and because of the smaller volume they deal with, they always look fresh and clean. A good business strategy! They seem to rotate and keep their inventory well. The frozen bao and dim sum items do not show freezer burns. Most definitely a grocery stop that I have come to trust the quality of their items!

    This is the best Asian market I've been to in 30 years of coming to Lubbock…read more Back in Dallas, I love my H Mart, SF Supermarket, 99 Ranch, Jusgo, and Mitsuwa markets. I don't expect the same level of selection and Pan-Asian offerings as I can find in DFW in Lubbock, but 98% of what I buy most frequently at home can be sourced in Lubbock now - and that blows my mind! This market is small, but very well organized. Aisles are wide enough to allow 2 shoppers and carts to pass each other. The market makes sense - with like items from all cultures together. We came looking for some favorite snacks and left with instant pho, several kinds of snacks, a cool new bento box, some replacement chopsticks and utensils, two kinds of sesame oil tuna we have not seen in DFW, awesome octopus and seaweed snacks, Japanese chocolate, and spiffy cookies. Nothing too weird to freak out the in-laws (although you can find that here). Checking out was quick and efficient, and there are lots of employees here to assist with finding things and restocking quickly as shoppers load up on their favorites. 5 Asian food lifeline in Lubbock stars!
