Came during the soft opening where 21 seats are available for dine in. Tables have a QR code to order online, though there are physical menus on the counter if you want to peruse before ordering. The spicy tonkatsu is the regular Tonkatsu Ramen with the addition of hot oil, but minus menma. If you like spicy, you'd likely prefer this. It's not very spicy, rather enjoyable for the bit of heat, especially when it's cold out. The noodles are on the soft side, but that is actually my preference, although it may be softer than what a typical ramen customer expects. The portions are good, definitely worth checking out. A little odd to hear country music as the playlist on a Friday noon, but maybe that's what pumps the lone worker.
Glad to see new ramen spots opening. Cute spot for ramen at Harvard Ave. You walk right in, grab menu and they ask you to scan to order instead of going up to the register. You pay and they bring you the order. Tonkotsu ramen - broth is light, Cha siu is lightly torched, creates a smoky flavor. Noodles were Al dente curly noodles. Egg was perfect. Hatcho Miso Ramen - also light soup flavors, slow cooked chicken was ok. Nothing too impressive. Takoyaki was deep fried and delicious, could use more sauce. Tons of bonito flakes. I do miss previous boba shop Fruity that was here since they use fresh fruits in their drinks, but looks like this new place have basic smoothies, milk teas, lemonade options too.
Came here on new years eve in the afternoon right when they opened and was seated immediately. Pretty quiet through out the meal. Server was quick and brought menu and water. I pretty much knew what I wanted and you order by scanning qr code on table. I ordered and paid right in app. Ramen came out piping hot and fully dressed with expected toppings. Well marinated egg, with a good sake and soy sauce flavor. The soup was surprisingly similar to porter sw Sapporo, which is enriched with collagen so each spoonful threatened to fill you up quickly. The char sui was torched and has correct fattiness proportion anf not too thick a cut. The noodles were done perfectly, slightly al dente and the soup clung well to the noodles. I was actually barely able to finish since the enriched soup was so packed with collagen. Definitely will come back again.
Great server lady and man in the counter ! Clean casual room for ramen place Soup was hard to describe, bit strange flavor for miso soup. Chashu should be soft and tender, it was very chewy and missing flavor. For this price I prefer more portion on both soup and noodle. As I am ramen snob for more than 50 years since I was born in Osaka Japan, I get too picky about everything about miso ramen. This place is still new and I am hoping all improve. As ramen is my life achievement for my enjoyment, At first, To make really good ramen, you'd have to eat the best ones around if it's possible. and you adjust the way you like. Ramen shop should take this seriously and automatically shop will get waiting line. These ingredients in this shop were sitting cold until you get order and gets heat up for the bowl. First key I could suggest is heat up all items including bowl in proper temperature and make it very enjoyable. Ramen way is very long and fun.
New to the neighborhood Yukiya is a solid entry. Karaage- nicely seasoned batter gives the quality chicken a nice crunch and comes with a nice savory sauce 4/5 Gyoza- crispy and tasty with a nice ginger sauce 4/5 Beef curry udon- the curry here is awesome. Not to thick or thin and full of savory flavor. Fair portion of thin strips beef and awesome udon noodles. Will come here again and fits nicely in the neighborhood
One day after school, my friend and I were looking for a restaurant to eat ramen when we noticed this store. The inside is nice and comfortable and the menu can be seen online or they can provide a menu for you. The worked there was very kind when we asked him about the menu and if he thought we could split it! And the food came out very quick! We decided to save some money and order 1 ramen for the both of us, it was 15.99, and it sufficed! We also decided to split a strawberry lemonade, 5.99, and it was a pretty large amount! (We split that as well) The ramen was good, the broth was just a little strong with a lot of flavor, but the noodles were delicious! The strawberry lemonade was delicious and refreshing! Overall, a great experience specially if you want somewhere quick with good ramen.
Yukiya took over the Fruity location and they did a great job renovating it! The restaurant has a huge mural of cute Darumas right as you walk in adding to the ambiance. It's a pretty small space with around probably a dozen or so tables and each table has a QR code to scan and order. This streamlines the entire process as it even knows your table number! I wasn't sure if there is a fee to order via the QR code (there's not) so I tried to order at the counter which resulted in the hostess/server looking very confused so I just went back to my seat to order via the website. I ordered the Hatcho Ramen just to get a sample of the chashu and chicken and also the takoyaki just to try some apps. The ramen looked really good when it came out with 3 pieces of chashu and 2 pieces of chicken. Upon tasting, the chashu was very flavorful, but the chicken lacked flavor...although it was very tender. The noodles was also the perfect texture I liked. The soup, which should be one of the main components that make or break ramen lacked sodium. If you've eaten ramen from Japan, you know the flavor of that rich and high blood pressure inducing salty broth...but that's what makes it so good! If the broth was saltier it would definitely be a winner. The takoyaki on the other hand was decent, but you can't really mess up takoyaki. All in all, glad that there is another ramen spot in Allston. Hopefully they will season the broth and chicken a bit more, but I would come back to try their other items!
Yukiya took over the fruity bubble tea place and has changed into a small restaurant. There's a handful of tables and some seating at the windows as well. I came on a Friday night and we scanned the QR code to view the menu to order. We got the takoyaki to share and I got spicy miso ramen and passion dream tea. The takoyaki was crisp on the outside and was filled with a small octopus piece. The ramen looked very red, slightly artificial, had chili flakes in it, but was not spicy at all. The broth was sweet, more like tomatoish. The noodles tasted like the ones you get packaged from the supermarket to make stir fry noodles. The pork and chicken were good, not too dry and had a roasted flavor to them. The service is quick so you shouldn't have to wait long for your food. They also serve rice bowls, which I would consider trying if I decide to go back. Overall, not the best ramen, but good appetizers and bubble tea.
Yukiya Ramen is AMAZING!!! I find it much better than other ramen places in the area. It's a small shop, so I can imagine it's pretty packed on nights and weekends, but I went for a solo weekday lunch right at opening and was sat right away. I got the karaage chicken (SOOOOOO juicy and delicious and saucy), tonkotsu ramen (the pork belly was in a cute spiral and the broth was RICH and thick), and lychee lemonade (not too sweet, perfection). The staff were very friendly and helpful. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
Food (1/2): Ordered the shio tonkotsu. The broth's flavor are closer to chicken instead of pork-based and almost tasted like ready-made buillon. Not quite certain if that's what they're going for or not--I would've expected tonkotsu to be pork-based. Nevertheless, it was decent. The pork belly cut's thickness was slightly inconsistent with a much-smaller diameter than I was usually served in other places. The cut was also torched on one side only but the flavor was ok; it was well-seasoned and was the right tenderness. The menma was way overcooked and incredibly soggy, losing all of its crunchy texture. Further, the nori felt very limp and "wet" even the ones not soaked in the soup. It feels almost as if they bought some random packaged nori. The aji-tama was decent, though a bit too runny for my liking. The mushroom and noodle was good and standard, nothing to write home about. Noodle was surprisingly well-cooked. Service/wait-time/clean (1.5/2): The place has you ordering via a barcode on the table which is new to me--I didn't like the app requiring you to put your phone number (and/or email?). Nevertheless, the servers there were quick and helpful when needed. The place is still very clean but the place is new so... Price (0.5/1): Overall, mixed bag of experience. The price for the ramen seems decent as well as other "main-course" items but some items in appetizer or donburi (if you look at the menu) feels astonishingly overpriced. I would suggest this place if you don't particularly care about non-main dishes and you're fine with satisfactory ramen for reasonable price (which in my opinion isn't particularly worth it). The place is also new...so who knows...benefit of the doubt for now...
A perfect place for a rainy day! Visited recently to try this newer ramen spot. Even though there was only one server working the floor, they were attentive and quick to seat us and serve us. Scan to order was helpful as well. I was intrigued by the chicken broth based ramen and the half and half broth -- both were really delicious and helped cut the sometimes overwhelming richness from a pork broth. Noodles were well cooked. Also got a passion fruit boba with popping bubbles which was a perfect sweet balance to the savory meal! Would definitely recommend as a great ramen spot in Allston!
Yukiya Ramen is a new, small Japanese ramen restaurant in Allston, Brighton. It is located on Harvard Street. There are very few ramen restaurants in Allston, so Yukiya is a welcomed addition. I wasn't expecting to be blown away but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious the ramen was as well as the curry chicken Don. The takoyaki was delicious, on point. The chicken karaage was lightly battered. I wish it came with a little mayo dipping sauce. For entree, my son had the chicken curry don. The curry was delicious. My husband ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen and I order the chicken shio ramen. I usually go for the heavy tonkotsu ramens when I dine out at ramen places but was craving a light broth this time. The chicken shio was very tasty and I actually enjoyed it more than my husband's spicy tonkotsu. The noodles were cooked perfectly how I liked it. Overall, very small restaurant. Not recommended for large groups but perfect for small families or group of four or less. I highly recommend giving them a try. See my pictures! read more
For the price point compared the other ramens in Boston, this really is not a bad option! Quality wise, it's not my favorite ramen spot in town, but for $14.50 to $16, the ramen noodles and broth are tasty, but I really liked the chashu meat the most! Their donburi options are pretty solid too. Our favorite was the chicken don -- our friend got a LOT of kaarage chicken for the price! Service was quick and ambiance is very casual. Decent spot to casually chill at with friends. read more

Very cute and clean Ramen takeout and sit down restaurant. I enjoyed my bubble taro tea, gyoza, and my tonkotsu tamen. Everything was really good and the service was friendly. Restaurant is in a very popular area in Allston so was surprised it was pretty empty. read more

It's a pretty cool ramen place right in the heart of Allston. If you're looking for a decent ramen place with yummy appetizers and lots of drink choices, this is a solid choice. The customer service was great, and we love the scan to order option since we're introverts. But we can't wholeheartedly say that they have the best ramen in Boston. The broth needs to be a big more savory and the chasu could be a little more tender. Its a quite a challenge to find a parking spot around this place so be warned! read more

Got to check out this new spot in Allston and loved every bit of my experience. The food was delicious, the service was quick and friendly. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was so flavorful! I usually don't like spicy foods but I ate this whole bowl. I also loved how the hatcho miso ramen wasn't overly salty, and comes with both chashu and chicken. The gyudon was tasty and the appetizers were great too. Don't sleep on their smoothies! The ambiance is casual and there is a cute comic like mural on the wall. Definitely will be back! read more
