    One of the best Japanese restaurants in Long Island! Went for a weekday lunch as soon as they opened. Place filled up quickly after an hour. The restaurant ambiance is cozy and welcoming. We ordered: - kanpachi carpaccio (5/5 - super fresh) - tori karaage (4/5) - youta gyoza (5/5 - must get) - spicy tonkotsu ramen (5/5 - hearty broth with some of the best pork chashu) - black garlic tonkotsu ramen (unfortunately the person I went with who ordered this started feeling ill symptoms about an hour after we left the restaurant. From their perspective, I understand why they wouldn't return here) That being said, I was fortunate to have a different experience, but their experience is something I felt important to note. Based on the food and service, I do look forward to returning to Youta Ramen to try their other dishes like the tempura don and their dessert parfait.

    Fantastic restaurant!! Staff was welcoming and friendly. Really mimics the Japanese ramen restaurant vibes. Good was absolutely delicious and fairly priced. Loved it!!

    Best ramen in long island area! The restaurant is small similar to Japan. I got the tonkotsu and the broth was flavorful. The karaage pieces were huge and juicy. The fried oysters were also great but a little pricey for what it is. Enjoyed my meal here and would definitely come back if I am in the area :)

    This is a most go ramen spot! The soup is so rich and flavorful! Absolutely loved it!

    I've been wanting to try Youta Ramen for a long time as I saw all the great reviews over the years. I think this is the highest rated ramen place I've seen on Long Island so far, but I'm always a bit skeptical even when a place gets universal acclaim. I came to try this place out on a weekend evening recently. It was cool to see that this place has a seemingly authentic ramen shop aesthetic to it from the outside. Place was packed out for dinner time but I was able to grab a spot thankfully as a solo diner. Inside, the decor was pretty lively, cozy, and well lit. Atmosphere is probably catered toward a younger crowd that appreciates Japanese culture and I liked it. The servers had their hands full with the dinner crowd but seemed pretty warm and attentive. I decided to order the gyoza ($12) and black garlic tonkatsu ramen ($18). The black garlic tonkatsu ramen seemed like one of the most popular choices so seemed like a safe choice. I paid about $37 total with tax and tip included. I received my food and have to say that their presentation was on point. The gyoza had the crispy skirt thing going on very well. The black garlic tonkatsu ramen also looked beautiful, with appetizing pieces of chashu laid out nicely and nice glow / color on the yolk of the half egg. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food itself for the price I paid. The gyoza wasn't bad but the filling wasn't very substantial and it ultimately tasted similar to some potstickers from Costco or something. There wasn't any strong meaty flavor to the gyoza and they were so tiny. I can't believe this place charges $12 for six of those tiny gyoza's; thinking about it kind of makes my blood boil. The ramen had good flavor overall; I liked the broth cause it seemed fairly rich but not overly so. Went down pretty smooth. The chasu pieces also tasted really good. The noodles were pretty good; don't think anything stood out about it too much but it was solid. Though the ramen was good, it didn't seem mind blowing to me and it was a very small portion for $18. Ultimately, I'm glad I got to try Youta Ramen but I think the place is overhyped and overpriced based on my experience. I will give it points for its cool aesthetic and friendly customer service but there are probably better ramen spots on Long Island that deliver a better quality to price ratio.

    Great food and great service. If you're looking for authentic non sushi Japanese cuisine this is the place to be. It's small and not the best for groups over 10 BUT it's a must go. Worth the wait if there is one or the drive. A local neighborhood gem with a Japan street food vibe.

    Excellent food -- good service -- reasonable prices for Nassau County -- great atmosphere with authentic Japanese pop-culture decor and music. Limited street parking and limited tables could be issues at peak meal times.

    This was a first for me the salad that is. The flavors are so good together. I will definitely order this again. I am never disappointed with the food and service here.

    I've been here a couple times. Small space but nice and cozy. We came more recently the day after Christmas. It was super busy. The appetizers are always great here. My favorite is probably the ika geso. Both the assorted mushroom and aburi salmon salads are good. I got the black garlic tonkotsu ramen and I enjoyed it. I'm normally a wavy noodles guy but the straight noodles here are really good. We capped off the meal with the two parfaits. My nephews and nieces love the mango but I lean towards the matcha. The matcha ice cream is super delicious.

    This place is super tiny but has a cute aesthetic. The servers are friendly and efficient. I think it's a great place to order takeout from because it gets very busy around dinner time. The food is wonderful, well made , served piping hot. It's authentic and made with care, they were consistent with garnishes and plating.

    Heard so much about this place and finally made a trip to visit. There's a small parking lot along with street parking and one bathroom. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful. There's so much attention to detail here from the artwork on the menu, strips of manga hanging on the walls, to fast service. Don't be alarmed if you end up sharing your table with strangers, it's very communal yet separated by a divider. It can feel cramp at times and people might bump into you. We ordered the: * Mentaiko Pasta ($19) * Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen ($18) * Youta Tonkotsu Ramen ($18) * Strawberry Soda Mocktail ($8) * Genmai Tea ($6) Total came out to $69 before tip. The mentaiko pasta was delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had a savory spicy cod roe sauce (slight heat at the end but not unbearably spicy). The fish roe and nori created the ultimate savory oceany bite. You have to order it. As for ramen we ordered the Black Garlic Tonkotsu and the Youta Tonkotsu. Definitely make sure you mix the tare/oils well in the black garlic tonkotsu. Both ramens were delicious but the real stars of the shows are their toppings. Their cha shu was incredible. It was so tender and soft, makes me wonder if they sous vide their pork because it fell apart. Their ajitama/soy egg was nice and jammy and not powdery at all. The bamboo shoots in the Youta Ramen was chef kiss. They had a nice snap and it's nothing like the bamboo shoots you get from a can with no weird taste. Overall, we've definitely had better ramen with better noodles but we got won over by the toppings. We would love to come back and try their shoyu truffle ramen. We came in about 30 mins after they opened on a Sunday and they were out of shoyu so it might be a limited batch.

    Went here with a friend because they said this is their favorite ramen place. I was thinking, how good can it be? Because I been pretty disappointed about the quality of most of the ramen served in Nassau & Suffolk county. Because the soup tends to be artificial and the noodles aren't that good. Well I was definitely proven wrong. The second you walk into this place the staff is really warm and friendly and they greet you in Japanese, one of the signs you can tell that it's a really good ramen shop, is that it was full of Asian people. We ordered the dumplings, and each got ramen. The dumplings had this crispy skin on the bottom and it was so good. It tasted very fresh and made with lots of love. The menu says the broth is simmered for 16 hours and it really shows the broth is very rich, smooth and full of so much flavor. The soup was like a nice warm hug. The noodles had a good chew to them, and they give you a very generous portion of noodles and meat! They gave us 3 very large pieces of braised pork. The soft boiled marinated egg, green onions, and bamboo shoots. I love the way they slice the green onion so thin, they complement perfectly with the soup. My friend got a green tea ice cream parfait, and they really enjoyed that. Would definitely come again. We spend such a long time deciding what to order cause we just wanted to order everything on the menu!

    This place is small and fills up fast. I enjoyed the Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen. But the ramen was a bit al-dente for me. Didn't love the pork dumplings, that I was really looking forward to. But I will say the mushroom bun had incredible flavor. And the karaage fried chicken was really good too! I would try this place again. Very chill atmosphere

The char siu (roasted pork belly slices) melted in the mouth and the marinated egg was done well, but the broth was somewhat bland -- perhaps we should have tried the spicy version instead. The dish included some bok choy, and a generous amount of bamboo slices. - Two Rolls Lunch Special: $10.95; $11.92 with tax. We ordered an Eel Avocado Roll and a Salmon Avocado Roll. The eel was chewier than expected, the salmon could have been fresher. Complimentary water was provided. Service was OK, and the dining room was bright and pleasant. The restrooms could be better maintained. The women's restroom was out of service when we visited, so the men's restroom should have had more toilet paper and paper towels. I hope Miso Ramen and Hibachi considers revising its menu, as Youta Ramen down the road seems to have more contemporary and interesting offerings. I would have liked a Black Garlic option. There is a credit / debit card surcharge of 3%. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals, assume credit / debit card payment, and start at 15%

The noodles have just the right bite, and the chashu pork is tender, flavorful, and generously portioned--melting into the broth with every bite. Simple, classic, and done right, which is harder to find than it should be. Everything arrives artfully plated, and the pacing is perfect--never rushed, never slow.

The waitstaff were attentive and helpful. Only complaint about the setting is that every time someone went in or out, a rush of cold air would enter. Try not to sit too close to the door. As far as the food, daughter and I just ordered soon dubu (soft tofu stew) and ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes). We're Korean so flavor profile wise, it seemed to cater to non Korean palates. The soon dubu was not spicy and had too much of a sesame oil flavor and the ddukbokki was sweet with no spiciness at all. I think if you are non Korean, the seasoning was good and the food flavorful, just not the flavors we were expecting. Also, although the menu makes it seem like you have to pay for the banchan (appetizers), we did not, it came with the staple kimchee, and a couple other dishes. Not sure why they had prices on the menu unless they charge for refills? They also gave us this yummy ice cream bite for dessert which is usually unheard of in Korean restaurants. Having said all this, I do want to recommend this place, it was a nice local restaurant to get some Asian dishes with a great waitstaff.
