I rarely post reviews, but I have coming to this place for a long time since it opened if you’re looking for a good tsukemen spot in Queens this is the place for you. I always get the same thing spicy shoyu and it always hits. it comes with the free can of green tea and it’s only $13. What a deal!

I got lunch here before a movie at Regal. We tried the shoyu tsukemen and miso tsukemen with warm noodles. When we visited in November, they had a promotion for $2 off tsukemen orders for dine in.
There was only one staff member working and food seems to be made to order so expect a short wait. It didn't seem like there were too many orders yet as we got there before 12. The staff member was also nice enough to give us 2 cans of KFT's green tea on the house which was nice of them!
We sat at the counter seating which is where most of the seating for dine in seemed to be. The shoyu dipping broth had a very clean flavor and it also came with boiled charsiu pieces. I got the miso version which came with minced pork. The flavor of this one was richer and sweeter because of the addition of miso. The noodles started to stick a bit as they cooled down so I added some of the dipping broth to the bowl to keep them from sticking together.
All in all, a super filling meal in the Queens crossing food court!

Delicious, excellent value, and even better service. I've been converted to Japanese cuisine!
I met a co-worker here for lunch. Ramen is never my choice for lunch, but it was his turn to choose. I had the chashu don. The flavor was incredible! Perfect blend of umami and savory! Try it with the Matcha IPA imported from Kyoto. A unique beer that complements the flavors.
The owner, Steve, greeted us after our meal. He was so pleased to hear how much we enjoyed our food that he brought us other things to try. I was so impressed with the food and service that I'm bringing a group of 20 when I return to the city next month.
Don't miss this awesome new spot!

Pretty good Tsukemen. The broth tasted pretty clean and the cha shiu that came with it was very flavorful.

Yasubee specializes in Tsukemen (dipping noodles), offering a supremely satisfying and highly customizable noodle experience that separates it from standard ramen shops. The rich and savory pork and seafood (Tonkotsu-Gyokai) broth is served hot and intensely flavorful, made specifically to coat the thick, perfectly chewy noodles that are served chilled on the side. Customization is encouraged, with counter additions like diced onions and bonito powder to perfect your personal bowl. For a classic finish, ask for Soup Wari at the end—a shot of warm dashi broth added to your remaining dipping sauce to create a lighter, drinkable soup.

Yasubee is a solid, no-frills destination for authentic Tsukemen, the Japanese style of eating thick, chewy noodles dipped into a separate bowl of rich, concentrated broth. The appeal here is two-fold: the thick, springy noodles have an excellent, satisfying chew (often served cold, which is traditional) and the savory, tonkotsu-gyokai (pork and seafood) dipping broth is deep in flavor without being overly salty or heavy.
A major draw is the great value, as they often offer small, medium, and large portions of noodles for the same price, a dream for those with a big appetite. Popular orders include the original and the spicy miso Tsukemen. The experience is enhanced by the available counter toppings like chopped onions and fish powder, which allow you to customize the broth's flavor.
The only minor common critique is that the dipping broth can sometimes be served lukewarm, which cools down quickly when you dip the cold noodles. However, they typically offer a soup-wari (extra hot dashi stock) to thin out and heat the remaining dipping broth into a satisfying finishing soup. If you're looking for quality, customizable, and filling Tsukemen, Yasubee is highly recommended.

Ambiance (4/5): It is a classic Japanese vibe of sitting at the bar countertop and watch as the chef prepares your food. In this case, it was a high schooler following instructions posted on the kitchen wall… Stools do not have a backing so you can't get too comfortable.
Service (N/A): You order via a QR code assigned to your seat #. The 1 manned kitchen was servicing 3 guests during his shift and would have struggled to keep up if there were more. However, when asked for additional requests (napkins, to-go containers, etc), he was very quick to help me. Server also gave me a FREE Kung Fu Tea green tea can!! [Only later did I realize that you can get one free for writing a review… but I did not know this until after I visited so he gave it to me for free slash without writing a review]
Tsukemen Shoyu Ramen (5/5): Typical that tsukemen broth can be a bit more salty than your standard bowl of ramen, which it was. Broth was full of flavor, depth, but also a smidge too salty. I found it nice that you can order the noodle temperature to be customized as it is typically consumed (cold) or warm (to your preference). There was plenty in portion size for the price point and comes with minced pork, and a half seasoned boiled egg! I added an order of $4 charshu since the meal did not come with it. The meat is a good mix of fat to meat, charred/smokey taste. The noodles were chewy and similar to that of lo mein, which I enjoyed because of the bounce and how easy to was to dip into the ramen to soak up the flavors. The bowl came with a variety in toppings. All around great in taste, price, and quality!
Public bathroom located inside the ground floor just outside the food court.
