Woke up feeling stuffy and blah. Gray skies. Cold office. Back-to-back Zoom meetings. I needed a warm, comforting bowl of ramen in the worst way. Thankfully, Yujo Ramen & Boba Tea was right up the road. It's tucked into the commercial strip off Meridian and 96th--you could almost miss it if you're not paying attention. I'll be honest: I arrived around 1:30pm and it was completely empty, which caught me off guard. But the vibe was nice and calming, the menu was extensive (ramen and boba options for days), and I landed on the spicy miso ramen--exactly what I needed to warm me up. Nailed it. The broth was rich, savory, and comforting with just the right amount of heat. Every ingredient tasted vibrant and fresh. The green onions, tender pork, and perfectly marinated soft-boiled egg were the ideal companions swimming in that spicy miso goodness. On a gray, cold Indianapolis day, this bowl absolutely hit the spot. Can't wait to come back and try the boba. read more

rice bowl: hits the craving every time! rice, karaage, corn, onion, house sauce, nori, scallions, and egg. it comes with menma as well but i order it without. passionfruit mango fruit tea: super fresh and yummy! if you've had chi cha sen chan, the tea tastes just as fresh. the sweetener/syrup isn't my favorite but still yum! gyoza: 8/10 this crisp was sooooo perfect but the filling was a little salty. read more

I came here for lunch, it's an order and sit down restaurant. I ordered the spicy ramen, and I ordered extra pork, because usually there's not enough protein for my liking. The pork was very tender and flavorful, with a decent amount of fat. The vegetables on top were very fresh. The broth though? Wow! So rich and flavorful! The spice was good too. The noodles were really good too. It was so filling, I couldn't finish it, which is kind of rare for me, because if something is this good, I'm determined to eat everything. The service was good, though there's not much interaction. You order on a touch screen, and they bring it when it's ready. You leave your bowl and drink on the table and leave. They're really quick to come by and clean off the table. Broth is kind of the make or break for good ramen, and this place is definitely worth the trip. read more

Yujo - Spicy Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

The best ramen in Indy! I got the yuzo signature and it was like your traditional ramen. My husband got the chicken rice bowl and said it had a lot of flavor. You order at the register and they give you a number and bring your food to you. Doesn't take too long either. The inside is simple and modern giving a clean ambience. read more

A friend suggested this place, and I wasn't sure at first. I don't eat meat, have a nut allergy, and a sesame sensitivity. I love ramen, but those things make it hard. Yujo made all of that easy. I told the cashier it was my first time, and she helped me pick out a popular dish that was similar to Shoyu. I ended up getting the Spicy Miso bowl and a strawberry milk tea with strawberry popping boba. Everything was DELICIOUS. I left perfectly full - which doesn't happen often. It was a cute little place off Meridian with phenomenal food and even better service. She checked on us a few times and even snagged our straw wrappers. I'll definitely be back! read more

As a ramen-lover, I recently came across Yujo and was happy I did! It's located in the same strip area as Starbucks & Another Broken Egg Cafe on Meridian with a wide variety of affordable ramen & bubble tea options -- including delicious vegan & vegetarian options. First, this strip area is quite large so there's ample parking, unlike some of the ramen spots downtown. Next, it's open later than some spots (until 8:30PM!) and is also available on DoorDash for pickup & delivery. Yujo also offers a rewards program via Toast which is great for frequent boba & ramen lovers like myself. I enjoyed a Lychee Mango Green Tea (didn't make it home it was so yummy ) and the Miso Vegetable ramen with egg & a bunch of added veggies to-go. Everything was packaged well and made the journey safely. They offer a straight & wavy noodle (but not the thick noodle like Jinya in Fishers which is my fav) but it was absolutely delicious. Next time I'd only change getting extra noodles because I had a lot of broth. Though there were diners and those grabbing to-go myself, the dining ambiance was calm, clean, and comfortable. It would be nice for date night, family dinner, or a quirky lunch spot. Definitely don't miss out on Yujo next time you're in the area! read more

I can't believe I haven't been here and it's so close to me. We finally popped in to try it and I ordered at the kiosk so I could read the details and not hold up anyone who came in behind me who could order from the cashier. I ended up getting the Hokkaido miso ramen and my husband and I split the pork gyoza too. Both were so good! But, also such a large portion of ramen! My friend took mine home for leftovers. I did try a tea, without the boba, but even at 25% sweetness, it was too sweet for me. I would try something different in the beverage arena next time. Hubby got a fried chicken bowl and he really enjoyed that too! read more

Best ramen in Indy, hands down!! My husband and I love ramen and have tried several places. We keep coming back to Yujo! The Black Garlic is the best I have ever had.

The spicy ramen is superb!! It is not too salty and has a rich flavor profile. It is also not super spicy, but definitely has a kick which really suited my taste. The toppings also paired well with the ramen. Their soft boiled egg and pork chashu are the best! The service is also really fast, my food came out within 10 minutes of ordering.

They have a great selection of teas. Milk teas and regular iced tea options. Their milk teas include a non-dairy milk option. They have traditional tea flavors or fruit flavored ones. They have more add-ins to the drink than just boba, like grass jelly (my favorite), Pearl boba, aloe vera. Their popular teas include the peach iced tea and the brown sugar milk tea. Their dining area includes about nine tables with chairs. Employees are really attentive and friendly. Parking is easy to find as they're located in a big shopping center. read more

This place tastes amazing, however, I didn't know that some of their food has garlic in it and i had a small reaction. Even though it was really good, because of that experience I can't return. Again, it is really good! read more

Needed a ramen fix and decided to try another ramen spot in Indy. The fast food vibe was nice, and less stressful when I was trying to get my kids to eat outside of their comfort zone. Service was nice and polite, won't say they were great listeners since we had a few errors in our order. Ramen is salty to begin with but this seemed super salty, none of us finished our broth. The noodles were good and so was the pork. Doubt we would go back again with all the other options in the area at the same price point. read more

Heard the the owner previously worked at Ramen Ray- so I was very excited to try this spot out! I ordered the spicy ramen to go. Thought it was perfect how it was packaged in two separate containers so the noodles wouldn't be soggy by the time I got home. Flavor was good- but I wish it would have been a bit more spicy. All the boba cold teas looked delicious and I'll be getting one next time! I was just a bit too cold today! read more

I would say this place is a hidden gem, but based on the reviews, it's not very hidden at all. Located in a strip mall off Meridian and 96th, it's easy to miss. I got Hokkaido miso and brown sugar genmaicha boba. My husband got the spicy ramen. Both tasted delicious, although completely different. The atmosphere is nice and quiet with some music playing in the background. It's a fast casual restaurant so you go up to the counter to order, but they bring you your food to the table and check in on you. Great spot dangerously close to my house! read more

This place is so good! You order at the counter and then get a number and take a seat. Very swift delivery of food and drinks. I got the Hokkaido miso which was warming and comforting. The chashu was some of the best I've ever had. A friend was able to substitute out the chashu with extra eggs, so that's always an option. I also got a roasted oolong milk tea with 25% sugar, and I added boba and egg pudding. The milk tea was also some of the best I've had in the Indy area so far too! Everything was fresh and tasty! The ramen broth was rich in flavor. The milk tea tasted fresh. The restaurant has both ample indoor seating and outdoor seating options too. Very light and bright! read more

This place has trumped any other ramen place that I have been too or will ever go to. I've been here twice in the past two years and omg... I miss it so much I wish we had one in TN! Worth every penny!!!! The food is actually so good, the first time I went I had the Creamy Tonkotsu Ramen which I had ended up clearing my bowl, pork was tasty and had its own flavor. My partner has the Hokkaido Miso Ramen, his only opinion was that it was very strong and intense. I completely agree I had it my second time around and it does get a little tiring once you get close to finishing your bowl, love the flavor, it's just too rich the few times we had it. I also had the Fried Chicken Bites and they were good but a large portion of the chicken pieces were dry and over cooked/fried. I also don't think the price is fair for the small pieces of chicken you get. Granted that's not what you go for. Boba and any drinks here are pretty standard but I did get confused what 100% sugar meant, which literally just means standard sugar amount, LOL. Service is great, the staff was really nice and were patient with us! Ambiance was a chill and quiet, not very many people in at once the times that I had went. Overall would highly recommend! If I'm ever in Indiana again I will always make it a goal to stop by. As always don't yuck anyone's yum! read more

Go quick before the seasonal drinks change! You don't want to miss out on the Passion Fruit Jasmine. This is insanely flavorful. I went for 50% sweetness and it was spot on, didn't even need toppings. For the ramen, I went with their signature option: Yuzu Signature. I'm a Tonkatsu/pork girl through and through so this was definitely branching outside my comfort zone, but I'm glad I did! First of all, the tender cuts of chicken look as appetizing as pork! They are packed with juicy flavor, and I wasn't at all feeling disappointed I chose chicken over pork as something new. The noodles had the perfect chewy bounce. This dish had me missing the back alleys of Japan! Oh, and the marinated egg is a showstopper. read more

Very good service and very friendly. The jasmine milk tea was amazing. The Ramen was plentiful and rather good. The spicy garlic was neither. I did enjoy it and will go back again. Very clean and great location. Like most Ramen restaurants it takes a little time to get your dish but we'll within acceptable parameters. read more

Goodness, this was a dangerously good delivery and Ramen experience. Having a seafood allergy my options with Ramen and Japanese cuisine tend to be limited. Luckily, in the case of Yujo, their staff was well-informed and great at navigating allergies. I was even able to order my first pick on the menu: Garlic oil Ramen and it did not disappoint. Goodness, the broth was packed with flavor and I thoroughly enjoyed the wavy noodles (substituted the straight noodles). I also ordered the brown sugar tea to pair with my lunch and it was equally delicious. I look forward to working my way through the menu on future delivery experiences. The Downtown Ramen scene is lacking which makes delivery from Yujo all the more enticing. Big thanks to their team for helping me navigate my allergy and the great customer service on the phone. Can't wait for many more orders on the horizon! Thanks to Niki B and fellow Yelpers for the recommendation. She shared with me that the owner attended the Tokyo Ramen Academy- talk about street cred! read more

Came for boba tea for the first time. I had the peach oolong with no sugar.

He loved it but was not a fan of boba pearls... oh well!

Yujo - Hokkai miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Their spicy ramen and their Hokkaido style ramen are phenomenal! The Karage and Gyoza were also phenomenal! My sister studied abroad in Japan for a year, and she said this place was the closest she's had to the ramen in Japan. Yujo was the first ramen restaurant I'd been to, and I've tried several others since then, and none have come CLOSE the depth of flavor that Yujo has achieved. I'd rather drive 20 minutes to get the best ramen I've ever had, than walk across the street to the new ramen restaurant that just opened. Yujo really is THAT GOOD! read more

Creamy tonkotsu...not Good flavors, but water down tonkotsu soup would be how I describe our experience. Honestly, should be much richer if you're gonna advertise as authentic/creamy. Fried chicken appetizer was solid. Mix of dark/white pieces. read more

Real good food, good customer service. I think they need to work a little bit on the ambience. I guess since the place is new there was still some construction going on. And is fairly small inside too but was large enough to hold my group of three. I will be back especially for the Boba! read more

Ramen isn't always what I go for on a hot summer day, but umami and hot soup seems to be good for the soul any day. This is a counter service ramen and bubble tea restaurant where ordering is done upfront, and staff will bring food to you. It was clean and not super crowded on a Saturday afternoon. They offer some seating outdoors as well. It wasn't the best ramen I've ever had, but it certainly hit the spot. I thought the bamboo wasn't as soft as I've had at other ramen shops and the black garlic wasn't as intense in flavor, just more salty and garlicky than the tonkatsu. The tonkatsu seemed to be sweeter than others I've had, with a nice milkyness to it. The broths did seem to be quality with the good pork collagen milkyness. The eggs and noodles were also cooked al dente and not overcooked, key to great ramen! read more

Went out for Ramen with my friends, I got Peach Oolong boba tea and Spicy Ramen I loved how my ramen tasted, so flavorful and just the right amount of spice and perfect mixture of veggies. I will say, I hate that they only have pork and vegetarian options, I wish they had a chicken option. Service was fine, it was obvious the cashier didn't care for her job or want to be there for that matter. The vibes in the restaurant were fine, but it felt like they were trying so hard to be upkeep and relevant. read more

Had a taste for ramen today so I tried a ramen place near my office. Walked in and was greeted, didn't know it was like a cafeteria style based ordering (order your food, get a number, and find a seat) I ordered the spicy ramen as I do at any ramen place. The price was expensive for just two pieces of meat (pork belly) and there were no lunch portions. The ramen itself was pretty good definitely had the spice factor, but lacked flavor a little. The resturant was quite cold I was freezing even after moving seats. read more

I tried Yujo for the first time yesterday and it was great. I ordered the Yuzu Signature dish which is described as; Refreshing lemon zest with our slow simmered chicken and pork broth. I got my order to go. When I arrived home I reheated in the microwave and it was delicious. As I was waiting for my order I looked around at the dishes being served and the presentation was beautiful and appeared to be a larger portion than the takeout portion. I plan on staying and enjoying my meal on my next visit. Additionally I ordered a selection of four Mochi donuts and they were (NOTE were...eaten by myself in 2 days - well in reality one 24 hour span). They are so delicious, all 4 flavors. They are fun to eat too with the fun shape. The location is convenient, the parking lot is large - however there are several businesses sharing the lot so you may have to walk a bit. read more

I'm enjoying witnessing the growth of a ramen scene in Indy and realizing the flavors I can experience in an example of ramen at the top of the ramen game.... And Yujo is it! Though I've only tried two of their nine ramen offerings... We're off to a great start with the flavors in the creamy Tonkotsku and spicy ramen I tried today. The creamy Tonkotsku broth is so rich and filled with flavor very comforting and delicious on this chilly day! My husband had the spicy and enjoyed it as well. I lived the flavor but played it safe with regard to spice. Although it didn't seem too spicy so I might be able to try it on another visit. In addition to the ramen they have a few small plates - gyoza, fried chicken and steamed rice. A couple bowls that aren't ramen and BOBA TEA! they have milk tea, boba tea, etc the flavors I tried - brown sugar genmaicha and mango cream hojicha - were phenomenal. Sometimes milk tea or boba tea is so flavored or sweet I can't taste the tea but not here... The tea really shines through. Also, you can pick your level of sweetness and medium was spot on for me! Yujo shares a parking lot on the east side of meridian with the strip mall there so parking was plentiful. The service was quick and friendly and they offered dine in and carry out! read more

A cold, snowy Monday is a good excuse to get ramen takeout, right? (The correct answer is yes.) I mean, ramen is good all the time, but when it's cold outside, or when I'm sick, or when I have a hangover, ramen is the best thing in the world. Today, it was cold outside, so ramen it was. Yujo offers half a dozen or so different combinations of ramen, including vegan ramen, spicy ramen, and ramen with miso broth. Because this was my first time visiting, I chose the Yuzu Signature, which included pork and chicken broth, a soft-boiled marinated egg, nori, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, pork and, of course, noodles. I chose to add corn for an extra dollar. It was goooood, people. Super slurpable noodle goodness. My husband got the Tokyo Classic, which, when we compared each other's ramen, looked like it included all of the ingredients that came in the Yuzu Signature. I think the only difference is that the broth is different? Don't quote me on that, but from a layman's (laywoman's) point of view, the two seem very similar. We got our ramen to go, and everything was packaged nicely and securely, including the broth. Yujo offers curbside takeout, too, which is nice. I almost forgot: I also got a fruit tea boba: the Rose Garden. I got it on ice, without any sweetener or cream. It was great and refreshing. If you like floral teas, you will love this one. The boba were nice and chewy, too. It would have been great without boba, but the boba was a nice touch. read more
