Came for the Ramen (since it was so highly rated) expecting good food! Pleasantly surprised to not only get really tasty food (I ordered the black garlic ramen) but really thoughtful and attentive service. The waitstaff overheard that we had a birthday in the group and they brought out dessert AND sang happy birthday TWICE! It was so fun and I could see that my husband was so happy to be sung 2 rounds of the birthday song along with being very friendly and readily available to help, they were great at answering questions we had about the menu items. The food was delicious, of course, but the employees/team made the biggest difference in the overall experience Also great ambience! We visited on a weeknight and the vibes did NOT feel monotonous or boring! It's clearly a popular takeout spot too because there was a long row of deliveries waiting at the front read more

It's our first stop for Ramen in San Antonio. The overall is not too bad, but it could be better in our opinions. 1. The Tonkotsu ramen is a bit blend 2. Black Garlic ramen is a bit too salty 3. Karage chicken can be more tender and juicy Overall, not a bad experience. The waiter was nice and polite. You get ice cream as free dessert too :) read more

The ramen and prices here were amazing. We were especially drawn to this restaurant because we saw that they give complimentary ice cream after the meal. I got the karaage ramen, and my friend got the black garlic ramen. We both enjoyed our meals, and I loved how the broth wasn't too salty. The chicken karaage was so delicious with a tasty sauce. The portions were filling, and my ramen was $14 before tip. The service was far beyond what we expected. They let us choose between chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream. It came in those little pre-packaged containers with a little wooden stick one would get in the hospital. They gave us our checks with lollipops. The staff were so kind. read more

It's not much of a looker on the outside and it's in what I think can be considered a sketchy part of town but don't let that fool you! It's very clean and the servers are very attentive and fast! We were shown to our table quickly and our server explained the menu. What we ordered: Ramens: - Tan tan ramen: the broth was very good, it definitely had a kick with the addition to then jalapeño in it! It was just the right amount of ramen! Don't let the bowl deceive you, it looks smalls but it is deep and mighty! It doesn't state it but it does have bits of pork in it. - miso ramen: my son loved it! Definitely lots of umami flavors, along with the miso. He said it's similar to the soup you get at a Japanese restaurant. He devoured it and ate it all. - kimchi beef ramen: a definite must! It's not my kimchi jigae at a Korean restaurants but it's close! I will definitely be getting it again! Sushi: - Godzilla Roll: lightly fried with seaweed on top, a great flavor and extra crunch on top gives it a ok texture combination - Texan roll: it looks like it's only 4 large sushi rolls but it's really 8 and they are together. It was so good I ate it way too fast! lol! - salmon tango roll: my son devoured this!!)3 loves salmon and with it being on top you couldn't go wrong! Their sushi is pretty good and held up well. It didn't come apart and was tightly rolled! They also have boba tea but the mango slushie!! Hello all you mango lovers! This was so refreshing! A definitely yes! Love this small restaurant! Great flavor, great ramen and great sushi!!! I would recommend this place for certain! read more

The service here was great and I love that they give complimentary ice cream at the end of your meal! I got the 5 pieces of sushi and black garlic ramen. The sushi was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The ramen was hearty and had great flavor as well. The bowl of ramen was only $13, which I thought was a steal. The pork in the ramen could have been more tender and flavorful, but it was still good. All in all, I would come back here for sure. It's a cute restaurant that isn't huge but also not cramped. We got seated immediately during dinner time and had a great dinner before heading to HEB next door. read more

I was really disappointed with my meal. I FOUND 2 PIECES OF HAIR IN MY RAMEN. Unacceptable

Visited as a party of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) on a Thursday evening. We were sat right away. Service was very friendly! Our server was so sweet. Shumai was delicious, we also ordered beef noodles, it was a little sweet, flavor was okay. Miso ramen, the broth wasn't too flavorful. Chili oil on table was great and spicy. Mango shrimp roll- would not order again the mango wasn't sweet- didn't give that contrast flavor I was looking for with sweet and savory. Blazing hot roll was yummy. Server made up for food being just okay. She brought free ice cream cups to table for the kids. read more

Decent takeout experience for lunch. My husband went inside the restaurant to order our food. I had the two rolls lunch special with miso soup. The spicy yellowtail & salmon rolls were delicious, BUT diminutive. The male cashier made a mistake & gave us chicken karage ramen instead of the appetizer. The ramen was tasty, but unnecessary, lol! My husband had the chicken katsu lunch special, which was yummy with a hint of curry flavor in the chicken seasoning. read more

All right I had Ramen. It was delicious. I will be going to eat at the restaurant when I get a chance, excellent food. read more

I can't believe we haven't updated our review for this place since our first visit! Yippon has a very special place in our hearts (wife and I). Almost every waitress knows us as regulars, but there are two particular waitresses that know what we regularly order and provide extra napkins because it's what my wife likes to ask for. Which to us, it's the small notes that matter. The "itamaes" or sushi chefs would sometimes offer me something off the menu as a compliment. Which is crazy! Feel like VIP when we roll up there haha! It's not even expected each time we go, but when they offer it, man, the feeling is incredible! The ambience is welcoming, traditional decor setting for ramen noodle houses, booths have tables that you can adjust for my big back folks! Those things matter you know! Especially for my 6ft. 250lb. fams, we need space! Lol! For a yellow ramen noodle spot with pork broth, this place is the best! That says a lot for me because I'm particular when I rate restaurants, specifically ramen noodle houses. I've tried almost every ramen they offer accept the vegetarian because why? Lol. My go-to is the spicy miso extra spicy extra egg hold the sprouts! My wife goes for the karaage chicken ramen, which is divine or the shrimp tempura one which is incredible! The black garlic extra spicy or tonkatsu extra spicy are hard to resist too! They are so good! We can't leave out the top-choice sushi items they offer! You wouldn't expect it from a place like this, because it's not "in the city" like you dont have to drive into town to get good quality sushi. This place is it! From the toro and uni to their snapper and tuna nigiri! Wife loves to order their spicy tuna and spicy salmon hand rolls both extra spicy! They set the bar every time and the fact they take good care of us, we make sure we take good care of them with a hefty tip each visit! Yippon ramen is the best in SATX! read more

This place exceeded every expectation and was sooo good. The ambiance here it's really cute and laid back and our server was friendly and checked on us several times. We got the black garlic and fried chicken ramen (which are two of their most popular) and were blown away. Both very flavorful and large portion size. They also offered us chili oil on the side if you prefer to add your own spice. read more

We're back. This time I tried the Yippon Don. It's good but had too much sauce. I think it would have been perfect if I got the sauce on the side so the rice wasn't drenched with sauce. But overall it was a good bowl. AND as usual, service was excellent. AGAIN, this review is based on my taste pallette. Others may like their rice drenched in sauce. Give this place a try, it's a great Ramen spot. read more

We were sat quickly and drinks came out pretty fast. The ambiance and decorations were nice! You can tell they really invested in the look of their space. I got the Mango Fruit Tea with boba and it was very refreshing. My wife ordered hot tea and said it was bitter. Everyone else got water. My wife and my sisters ordered the tonkotsu ramen (x2) and the kimchi ramen. I ordered a Karaage ramen and shared a yellowtail jalapeño appetizer. The yellowtail came out at the same time as the ramen. The portion was tiny for $11. Other sushi spots we've been to have yellowtail slices that were double the size of what we received. I wouldn't call it shareable. Other than that, it was tasty with a bit of spice and complemented well with the ponzu sauce. We each had a sip/taste of the different ramens and I think we agree: karaage #1, kimchi #2, tonkotsu #3. They were all good, but the karaage had a deeper flavor. I would like a spicy option, but that's just my preference. The spice of the kimchi ramen was solid, I'm curious how much spicier the other spicy ramens are! The tonkotsu was still good, just not comparatively. Overall, it was good, just little things that docked points. I'd go back and try more of the dishees, ramen, and sushi! read more

My friend @roadtwoadventure will soon be moving to the DC/VA area. We met up @yippon_ramen for dinner as a little send-off and treat. We had Seaweed Salad, Salmon, White Tuna, Yellowtail, and Eel Sashimi to share. Hubby and I had Ikura Nigiri. Dad and I shared the Tonkotsu Ramen. Hubby had the same. Jenny and Tom shared the Black Garlic Ramen, and Eel Avocado Roll. The ramen, sushi, and sashimi were all good. Highly recommend! Great company to enjoy the meal together!

During our recent trip to San Antonio, we were in the mood for ramen and came across Yippon Ramen,so we decided to give it a try. We started with the gyozas and takoyaki. The gyozas were delicious, and my husband really enjoyed the takoyaki (I don't eat octopus, so I skipped that one). For our mains, I had the spicy miso ramen and my husband ordered the black garlic ramen. Both were flavorful and tasty, though we felt like something was just slightly missing, hard to put our finger on it. That said, we still had a nice time! The service was absolutely amazing, and our server was super friendly and welcoming read more

Absolutely fulfilling lunch. We ordered the Fried Chicken Ramen. I am giddy over the broth, so nicely balanced and rich flavor. The presentation got me before I even tasted my dish. And guess what? They have 'beef' egg rolls y'all! My co-worker doesn't eat pork and when we began looking at the menu, many dishes stated pork broth. Our host was quick to set the record straight...they have chicken broth as well (which can be used as in place of the pork one in their dishes). I'm sitting here struggling to stay awake, so full from lunch. From the seaweed, fish cake and egg garnish all the way down to the perfect fried pieces of chicken. My food was superb. And my host was readily available and attentive. The ambience was peacefully relaxing, it wasn't overcrowded at lunch time and the space feels cozy. This was 'love' in a bowl, just go get you some - thank me later when you too are struggling to keep your eyes open. read more

Tried Yippon with some friends over the weekend and I can say I would definitely try it again! The restaurant itself was cute and cozy, perfect place for a larger group dinner. The service was pleasant & on top of it throughout the night! I tried the Fried Chicken Ramen, recommended by a friend. It was a very solid bowl of ramen. The broth was flavorful and everything was cooked well! However I can't say I'm a huge fan of the fried chicken in the ramen, for me it just got too soft/soggy in the ramen. I would definitely go back and try a different style ramen to get a better feel! The flavors were there, the textures just didn't work for me. read more
