YATAI Ramen + Yakitori

How someone who loves ramen and understands about it, I was hoping a little bit more. I tried the place twice (Wednesday and Friday). Both times I asked the same thing: Miso Ramen with pork belly. They were pretty different between each other. On Wednesday it was a light and almost white soup. The soup was warm, almost cold. The pork belly was not so fried. On Friday it also was warm, not really hot. The egg was far away of the right point for Ramen’s. Cheap price. Fast service.

First-time visit and overall a pleasant experience. Given the cold, snowy weather, it was a good day for soup. We ordered soup bowls and edamame, and everything was solid. The flavors were good, though they could have been a bit more vibrant. My grilled chicken, however, didn’t seem grilled and tasted more like boiled chicken, which was a bit disappointing. The restaurant had a fun, lively atmosphere with a good mix of kids and adults, though it was chilly inside and fairly noisy. While there are other noodle shops I personally prefer, my companions felt it was about a 50/50 chance they’d return. Not bad overall, just not especially memorable.

The restaurant was very cute and aesthetic, great for taking pictures and it elevated my eating experience a lot! There were multiple TVs playing different animes and a lot of anime related decorations up. Atmosphere - 5/5 The food itself was reasonably priced, except it lacked the flavor I expected for japanese dishes. Specficially, I order spicy miso chashu ramen, the noodles were obviously storebought / not handmade and lacked texture, and broth wasn't bad but it wasn't thick enough not flavorful enough for my liking. My friend ordered the creamy garlic steak ramen and had the same complaint for the broth. The meat for chashu and steak were good though. As for the pork belly buns, they unfortunately did not taste good at all, I could barely taste the pork and it wasn't even hot when ser

It was freezing out when I went in, and this place absolutely hit the spot. The food was perfect for the weather. I ordered the udon and it was on point, especially with the red miso base, which I’d highly recommend. The tofu was also really good. Add in friendly, attentive staff and a fun, lively atmosphere, and it made for a great meal. Definitely a place I’d go back to.

Anime movies are playing all around you as you enjoy warm bowls of ramen. Wonderfully decorated and catered to anime fans. They even have Labubus on sale. You make your own ramen adventure - choose a broth, noodle type and your protein of choice. Staff was nice and the food was good. Would eat here again.
