Reviews Summary
Yasubee is praised for its affordable and quality ramen, particularly the tsukemen, and its extensive sake selection. Diners appreciate the helpful, English-speaking staff who go the extra mile to assist customers. While some find the ramen itself to be average, the overall value and experience are highly regarded. The spacious interior offers a comfortable atmosphere, though some mention initial staff greetings can be lacking.
"Very helpful staff! We don’t speak Japanese well, but one of the staff members kindly helped us use the ordering machine - super helpful and much appreciated. The food was also incredibly delicious, we’re already thinking about coming back! Definitely give this place a try if you want to experience something new from Japanese cuisine."

"there was a queue so i was curious about this place and decided to join it! i ordered the medium size, look at the amount of noodles! it was crazy. would recommend getting the small/ regular size to avoid food waste. the thick udon was very yummy and chewy, and it went very well with the rich soup!"

"I ordered a shoyu ramen (although this restaurant seems to specialize in tsukumen). Plentiful noodles were thick and straight, menma, green onions, and a slice of round chashu. I added complimentary chopped white onions. I enjoyed the open kitchen atmosphere. The meal was very filling and tasty. Thank you!"

12 best restaurants near Shinjuku Station
With its spacious and polished interior, Yasubee’s main store by the train tracks on the outer side of the yokocho doesn’t seem as though its been there for long, but the restaurant has been running in Omoide Yokocho since 1951. Apart from providing the most elbow room in the vicinity, Yasubee’s list of nihonshu is the most extensive on the scene, making it a heavy hitter when it comes to the art of pairing food with sake. Here, you’ll find rice wine from sake breweries all over Japan, each with unique aromas and flavour profiles.

In the cramped alleyways of Shinjuku where the paper lanterns brighten up the nostalgic restaurants of Omoide Yokoche, we would recommend you to sip sake at Yasubee. While you are at it, ask for motsu-nikomi, the beef stew filled with collagen. Pick anything from their long list of rice wine and izakaya items and be sure to amaze yourself with their extraordinary and tasty offerings.

Tsukemenya Yasubee is yet another store that specializes on ramen, but not on the usual ramen, but on tsukemen. Tsukemen means eating dipping the noodles in the soup that is served next to them. The soup has a deep and rich flavor and there are several toppings you can choose from.
