Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited but doable on 39th Ave and surrounding side streets; expect metered spots and moderate turnover during lunch. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Casual and comfortable—most guests come in everyday wear, especially given the counter-style format.
Noise level: Moderate during peak hours; still easy enough to hear conversations at the small tables or counter seats.
Weekend wait: 10–25 minutes depending on weather and dine-in rush, especially during cold evenings.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait, with quick turnover due to counter service.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—some broths and toppings can be customized for a lighter, semi-vegetarian bowl, but this is not a dedicated offering.
Vegan options: Very limited—most broths are animal-based and noodles may contain egg.
Gluten-free options: Not ideal—no dedicated gluten-free noodles or broths, and cross-contact is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if the date appreciates minimalist, counter-style ramen shops. The space is functional rather than atmospheric, so it’s better for casual meetups than romantic first impressions.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—Yasubee does not take reservations, and counter seating turns over quickly. Arrive slightly off peak if you want immediate seats.
Is it kid-friendly? Generally yes for older kids who enjoy ramen; seating is tight and portions are adult-sized, so it may not be ideal for toddlers or strollers.
Best For
Better for: Focused tsukemen with customizable firmness and richness, plus deeply concentrated broths that outperform broader-menu ramen shops nearby.
Skip if: You want a full-service ramen restaurant with wider appetizer options, more spacious seating, or strong vegetarian/vegan accommodations.
