YUBU SoHo

"Yubu does one thing, and they do it really well. They offer 12 different kinds of rice-stuffed, sweet tofu pockets topped with Korean ingredients. The creamy crab salad one is our favorite, but the bulgogi is a close second. Get a couple pockets for a quick snack, or around four for a full meal. (They’re deceptively filling.) Be sure to add a refreshing “sparkling ade” like the one with slivers of fermented Asian green plum. This fast-casual place has a good amount of seating in their bright dining room—unlike their original East Village location, which is takeout-only." - Kenny Yang, Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Willa Moore, Sonal Shah

"Yubu does one thing, and they do it really well. They make about a dozen varieties of rice-stuffed, sweet tofu pockets, topped with Korean ingredients. The creamy crab salad one is our favorite, but the bulgogi is a close second. Get a couple pockets for a quick snack, or around four for a full meal. Be sure to add a refreshing “sparkling ade” like the one with fermented Asian green plum.
