It was a cold day in NY and we wanted soup! Service was nice and friendly. Establishment was clean and orderly. However the dishes we ordered, dry and soup ramen, wontons and extra meat, fell short. The ramen broth wasn't rich. The tsukemen broth wasn't thick as it should be, and they used the same noodles as they did for the soup ramen. Typically tsukemen ramen has thicker noodles, and a thicker broth for dipping. The wontons were definitely frozen and tasteless. Also the egg wasn't as good as the typical ramen egg you would expect. It was overcooked. The pros- great tasting pieces of pork. Overall, it satisfied our need for a warm meal. However there is definitely room for improvement.
This was our first stop once arriving in the area. The restaurant was clean, and modern, easy to find. We were seated immediately, upstairs and helped by two people throughout, both super nice and thorough. We were able to order appetizers and had them delivered rather quickly. Food came out hot and fresh and full of flavor and all reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.
I ordered DoorDash from Yasubee Authentic Ramen and I was honestly so impressed. Everything arrived fresh and perfectly packaged, but the real star was the broth. It was hands down my favorite part -- rich, flavorful, and incredibly fresh. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into it. The entire bowl was delicious and so satisfying. I'll definitely be ordering from here again. If you're craving authentic, comforting ramen, this place does not disappoint!
Was trying to find a place for ramen on a cold night and thanks to google we landed on the doorstep of Yasubee. Staff were helpful and polite. There are several tables to choose from in this brightly lit establishment. I will say that I am a fan of spicy but this was spicy on a whole new level when trying the ramen....proceed with caution if you choose to go that route. We weren't able to even eat half of the ramen due to the intense heat (no fault of the restaurant I did elect to go spicy). The karaage (pieces of fried chicken) was superb, very hot (right out of the skillet) and nicely spiced and lightly battered.
The food are all amazing! I've never had ramen like this before; the miso soup base is delicious and the pork slices are not stringy and full of fat like every other ramen restaurant does it. Their cheesecake was the best I've ever had, as well; creamy and divine. Our server, Ventura, is the best! He is knowledgeable and personable. Me and my family will be coming back soon!
They have a good lunch special for under $20! I wasn't a huge fan of the ramen but it honestly wasn't bad. The lunch special comes with your choice of a bowl of ramen or tsukemen, plus a starter (gyoza or karaage), and an iced drink (lightly sweetened iced teas and even milk tea). I enjoyed the pan fried pork gyoza to start, which was good but pretty standard. We also ordered the karaage which was nice and juicy. The ramen didn't wow me but it wasn't bad - the chashu was very nice and tender though. They offered me hot broth to start which was delicious and a free mochi dessert. Service was great and friendly. We walked in without a reservation just fine (no one else was there). Overall, a good deal lunch for midtown!
Since it's the time of the year to have some ramen, Yasubee in Chelsea came to mind. The place boasts a two-storey restaurant and looks like a fast food place, but don't be deceived; they offer full table service. We chose to dine on the second floor. The menu is simple, with two pages: one for food and the other for drinks. We started our dinner with chicken karaage and some local beer. We found the karaage moist and delicious. For our main entree, my partner had miso ramen and shoyu ramen for myself. To be very honest, the ramen experience is just okay. We had better ramen noodles and broth somewhere else. Although the customer service was awesome, that won't be enough for us to consider coming back here.
It was absolutely freezing in New York tonight so I thought I'd pop in to have some ramen after a work event in Chelsea and I'm so glad that I did. This place was everything I needed it to be. I was seated quickly. Since I was solo this time, it was easy to see that Oresti (sorry if I spelled it wrong :) ) was managing the floor by himself, all the while, being super attentive to the customers and noticeably kind to customers, staff, and delivery people that came through. It wasn't super busy for a Tuesday night, but was certainly busy enough to have been overwhelming for one person. He stood out in that way. It also helped that the food was great and arrived quickly. I'm a big ramen fan and have tried many. The miso ramen ($16) was salty and hearty. I was very happy. This place also has ample seating, with an upper level. It was great!
Was walking around and stumbled upon this new spot. Cozy interior and really nice people working there. We had the Gyoza small plate to start who co was great! Crispy and well seasoned especially for the price point. For entrees we had the Tsukemen and a Chashu Don. Both were good but wish there was a bit more meat in the Chashu Don as it felt like I was eating a veggie bowl since there were more veggies than meat.
cute and pretty spacious ramen/tsukemen place in chelsea -- the staff is super friendly and on top of checking in on their customers regularly. decor is cute (all the way to the bathroom) and there's a second floor with extra seating i didn't notice at first. my partner and i ordered the shoyu ramen and tsukemen, plus the wasabi chashu. the wasabi chashu was pleasantly tender and rich with a bit of a bite from the wasabi. both shoyus were flavorful and savory, plus the noodles provided were thicker than your average ramen noodle and were plenty springy and nicely chewy.
Eh, how do you say "this is a bit mid" but in AI hallucinated Japanese and a Taiwanese accent? かなり平凡です Canary Heybondes. I average one Japan trip each year so I inevitably run across various forms of ramen. The flipside of this is that I have quite a bit of experience when it came to ramen, may it be abura (mazesoba), tsukemen, and other various regional styles, so I should be thrilled when Yasubee from Tokyo came over to the states...right? Honestly, I've never heard of them (unlike Mita Seimenjo which is a national Tsukemen chain with 55 restaurants) - Yasubee.us site claims their lineage from a ramen shop founded in 1950 at the tourist trappy Omoide Yochoko 思い出横丁 (Nostalgia alley) in Northwest Shinjuku, and it supposedly grew to 80 "beloved" stores across Japan. A red LED went off in my head. Yasubee is a popular name for salaryman restaurants in Japan due to the heroics of Horibe Yasubee 堀部安兵衛, a ronin warrior involved in the Ako incident (look that one up)...except on their logo it was rendered in Hirgana as やすべえ instead of kanji as 安兵衛, and one of the links on their site points to yasubee.com in Japan. That's for Tsukemenya Yasubee つけ麺屋 やすべえ, a small chain with 8 stores across Tokyo (not 80 across the country). They are a shop specializing in Tsukemen and there's no mention of their history there. You can say that there are lots of eateries named Yasubee in Japan and some are ramen shops. Was there one at Omoide yochoko dating back to 1950? Yes, but the name is rendered in Kanji, and considering that Japan is still under US occupation until 1955 with noodle flour not being easy to come by back then, in a location that was still rebuilding from rubble, the place (an izakaya) served yakitori and motsunabe (offal stew) with booze. They are still around today (shinjuku-yasubee.com) and they don't serve ramen (that's considered a Chinese import adapted for local tastes so traditional izakayas won't have it). Tsukemen wasn't even a thing until 1965 when it was made public (it was a staff meal of noodle scraps and leftover soup before), but it didn't get popular until the late 90s. So is there a Tsukemen Yasubee in Shinjuku? Yes, it opened in the mid-2000s in the Southwest when the Tsukemen style took off, but closed down in March 2025 due to that location being redeveloped. The other 8 restaurants in that chain are all between 5 and 15 years old. So okay, the lineage claim is bupkis, and they are a ramen franchisee owned by Kung Fu tea (founded in early 2000s Flushing by Taiwanese immigrants). How was the food? Well, the apps are basically a variation of what was served at Taiwanese tea joints with snack counters (like Quickly or Vivi Tea), what with the dumplings and fried chicken. Their gyozas were nothing special and their karaage is certainly very "popcorn chicken" (鹽酥雞) like. What about their noodles? It's very much phoning it in. How do you feel about a small-ish portion of thick Chinese stir-fry noodles (油麵) served chilled with a salty but watery soup on the side, with bits of pork belly and Katsuobushi (dried tuna flakes) on top? If you want the soup version they'll dilute it and throw the noodles within so it's...edible (but lacks personality). At 62 bucks for 2 people with 2 apps, a lychee highball (really just a can of Kungfu tea with some "well" sake) and the usual 19%, it's not expensive by midtown west standards. The service is decent (Mellie is hilarious) and quick, and the spot is chic and comfy. But damn the food is *meh*. The apt metaphor for Yasubee is the AI hallucinated "painting" in their restroom. Sure, it contained some generic Japanese words but you sure as hell can't nail down where the original subject matter was, and anyone who has been to Japan will pick up on how it's almost, but not quite like Japan itself. I guess you can say that about the food here itself.
I came during their soft opening in September! The staff was super attentive. The space has 2 floors which is nice with plenty of tables. The ramen/ tsukemen was good but I wouldn't say mind blowing. We got the karaage which was surprisingly really good - crispy and not dry! The edamame was light on the flavor. Just note this spot is part of the Kung fu tea brand portfolio so they sell the canned beverages on the menu too which I enjoyed!

Did a private party on the mezzanine level and it was a HIT! Everyone had a great time and the service was exceptional. I planned my party with the Manager - Ventura and on the day of, our waiter was Stephen who worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly. Ventura was very responsive to my queries and patient with me. There were tonnes of food, no one walked out hungry. Kids also loved the dessert - their ube cheesecake was out of this world. Recommend this place to consider for small parties - there's a TV upstairs for entertainment. read more

Very nice staff and ultimately good Pulsd deal. However we almost got overcharged because they changed the terms of the Pulsd deal so we ordered based on what the app said and it turned out that wasn't what we actually could get. They also messed up our order. We got a miso ramen and a spicy shoyu. They gave us spicy miso and shoyu ramen. Also our drinks didn't come til after our food. Everything tasted great and staff was very nice. The pulsd deal being different was just annoying and the service was obviously mediocre. read more

Came here with friends on a Sunday night. The interior of the restaurant is nice and cozy. The servers were quick to come to us. Prices weren't expensive like a lot of ramen places. Unfortunately I will say that the ramen itself was pretty mid. Not much to say sadly. It was fine, I recommend getting it spicy for extra flavor. My friends weren't impressed either. It was just ok, I wouldn't mind coming back though. read more

I've been wanting to try their ramen out and finally stopped by with my husband and friends and was very satisified with my experience! Tons of seating as there's an upstairs space so it'd be great for large group. Our server Jun (I hope I'm spelling correctly) was really friendly and kept checking in on us. We ordered edamame, three orders of gyoza, four orders of chasu, potato salad, two shoyu ramen, a miso ramen and a tsukemen ramen which was a lot but everything was so good we easily wiped all the plates clean. The ramen were all really flavorful but the star of the meal was the chasu topped with the most delectable wasabi marinade sauce(?). It is an absoluteeee must! They also had a matcha beer which I couldn't try because I'm pregnant I will be sure to try next time when I can! read more

The service at this spot is amazing but the food isn't so great. There aren't many options so If you do not eat pork, this is not the spot for you. Nice background music and paintings. read more

My 3rd time at Yasubee Chelsea location. Ramen noodles are so delicious and chewy. And the broth is good as well. ***Definitely try the appetizer chashu wasabi. It is the best appetizer I've ever tried at a ramen place. The sauce is made in-house and it's a perfect pair with their yuzu or matcha beer!!! They also have great happy hour deals & resident deals! Such a gem, can't wait to go back again soon. read more

Perfect ramen spot for a cold winter day! Went in for lunch on a Monday and it was super slow. The waiter was super attentive and even brought the little heater closer to our table and a shot of hot broth. We had a pulsd voucher so that included one appetizer, we chose the soy wings which were okay, more to the sweet side. I also tried the matcha IPA, and if you enjoy matcha you definitely enjoying this! Two entrees and we chose the shoyu and miso. I really enjoyed the miso broth better than the shoyu but they were both very tasty. You have an option to make them spicy which I really recommend because they have some amazing chilly oil. For dessert we got the basque cheesecake which was so creamy and light! Overall great experience, service and ambiance for an inexpensive place. Super recommend. read more

Stumbled upon this place today as I was exploring NYC and to my surprise it was their Grand Opening weekend. This Japanese Authentic Ramen Restaurant has landed in Chelsea. The restaurant has two floors, a bar and a great staff. I was served by Adrian and he provided a 5 star great guest service. Adrian recommended great drink options and food options. I ended up getting two appetizers, the Shoyu Ramen and Pork Katsu Donburi. For dessert, I had their vanilla ice cream. Had a beer and the Lemon high ball was good. I look forward to coming back to this location with family, friends, colleagues and anyone interested in Japanese ramen and food! read more

Insanely great experience! We took two ramens, and could finish only half of it. The King Fu Tea they offer balances the saltiness of the broth very well. The guy serving us was very welcoming, and offered us two extra cans of complimentary tea to go for the wait (which wasn't even long). Loved the music and the cozy interior! read more
