YUBU

Been wanting to try YUBU for some time. I’m glad I finally got around to swinging by one of their locations. I was a little disappointed at how tiny the shop was (only one tiny table and chairs), but that isn’t the most important part. The woman that took our order was nice, the food was delicious, and the drinks were quite nice, too! I was particularly impressed with the dalgona coffee. Be sure to mix it up and let things dissolve, though. That is when the coffee really gets good.

Tried salmon inari from here which is essentially sushi or poke wrapped in Tofu - which means extra protein. And it was so so good! Small shop, there is some outdoor seating, good for a quick meal or snack.

Great location. Cozy little restaurant with outdoor seats for 2-4 people max. Clean looking. Food is delicious. The torched salmon was my favorite. Everything is delicious and made fresh.

Yubu is an absolute gem! This fast and casual spot serves yubu, tofu pockets filled with a variety of toppings like bulgogi and tuna mayo, all over warm rice. The concept is both adorable and super fun to eat—each bite is packed with flavor and texture, thanks to the crispy-soft tofu and savory fillings. The bulgogi was perfectly seasoned, and the tuna mayo added a nice creamy kick. It’s a unique twist on Korean comfort food that’s both satisfying and playful. Great spot for a quick, delicious, and memorable meal!

Yubu is a small shop in the East Village where you can stop by for a quick snack. There is only one table inside for seating, but service was quick and friendly. The yubuchobap / inari has a good balance of sweetness, with a variety of toppings to choose from. Ordered four and I was stuffed. My favorite was the salmon and spicy crab.

I was looking for a lunch spot in SoHo area, and I found this spot. It is a small Korean casual eatery, and they focus on Yubushobap, which is a Korean style inari sushi. They have a few different box set you can order. You choose the number of Yubu in the box, and then choose the toppings. We went with the YUBU Box of 8. They have total of 14 different toppings, and chose top 4 toppings that we wanted, and ordered two of each. Beef Bulgogi was juicy with sweet beef bulgogi. The bottom part is filled with sushi rice, which is sweet and vinegared rice. It was quite tasty. Spicy Chicken Cheese had a nice kick to it, but not too spicy. Didn’t get much cheese flavor, the sauce overpowered it I think. Pork Jaeyook was very similar to the Spicy Chicken Cheese, I wonder if they use the same spicy marinate? It was a bit difficult to distinguish between the two. Salmon (Torched) was really good. Torched just right, moist inside, not dry. It was really tasty. We enjoyed our experience at YUBU. The staff was friendly and efficient. People kept coming in while we were there, seems like a popular spot among the locals. The spicy marinated meats kind of tasted the same, so I would like to try something different the next time.

Very small storefront with a table outdoors. Service was kind. It was okay personally. Quality of fish is decent. Maybe I had it on an off day but it wasn’t very appealing to me. Tuna tasted like canned tuna.

Very clean and friendly establishment. The food was delightful and the seared salmon was my favorite. Every bite is flavorful and delicious. I definitely over estimated how much I can eat but 4 per person seems like the perfect amount. They even gave us some candy with our order.
