Yaba Kitchen

Let me start off by saying it wasn't bad in the typical way restaurants can be. There a few things working against them. 1. The prices here are absurd. $80 for 2 people for bland , pre-packaged Cisco food. The shrimp is imported and the chicken was dark meat. Everything tasted cheap and oily. The boiled seafood prices start at $115.00 and go to almost $200. . . So be prepared for that. 2. The staff is run by the most uninterested, uninformed people ive seen in a while. They had no idea what kind of fish they served , if the chicken was white or dark meat , etc... 3. The atmosphere was dark and quiet. I don't recall music being played. I could only hear the staff talking and laughing it up in the back. Over all, this was a strange experience, not terrible, just didnt like the vibe,

I love going to yaba. They have great seafood bags and It is one of my favorite places to get ramen. So I always end up spending just a little bit too much because I like to take seafood home with me. 🤣 But the owners and workers are freaking awesome and pay attention to their dining room and customers.

I was looking for a ramen place since my favorite ramen shop was closed that day. Google showed me Yaba kitchen. I dined in, was the only customer in the restaurant that day. Service was good, very quick (would hope so being the only one), and the atmosphere was all right. I got the impression from the menu and decor that seafood is their specialty, with everything else coming second. The food ranged from "good" to "okay". The spring rolls were small but crispy and had good flavor, and the side salad was decent. The ramen was honestly a let down, but I also have very high standards for my restaurant ramen bowls. The ingredients weren't bad, but everything was a step below expectation. The noodles were thin and had no heft. The broth was watery and did not have the robust flavor

The food here was so yummy! I first ordered from here on DoorDash then decided to eat here today and took some home for leftovers! Friendly staff and super attentive! Thank you to our waiter Hugh (sorry if i misspelled it) :)

Hugh was an amazing server! Gave exceptional service and the food was top tier. Got the seafood boil & beef ramen!
