“If there’s anything that is as filling yet light on the calorie scale as salad, it is ramen. A hearty bowl of broth, noodles, protein, and veggies leaves you feel like you ate a ton, yet in reality, it’s just the north doing all the heavy lifting.

And thanks be to the weather Gods for an overcast day—finally!—after an interminable heat wave, a bowl of piping hot ramen just sounded good. I don’t have to wait for winter to eat what amounts to an amazing bowl of soup.

A successful Google search yielded Yanagi on the far south side of Lubbock, yet another city in this region that is growing toward the prevailing wind. It’s a tastefully decorated restaurant with modern sensibilities, although the Buddha in the corner did not go unnoticed.

I opted for the Vegetable Ramen Bowl. It’s built on a base of vegetable broth, and filled with a serving of tofu (14g of protein if you are counting!), bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, edamame (more protein!), sweet corn, and spinach. The noodles (wavy or straight, your call) may push you into carb no-no land, but if you’re not counting carbs, it’s all good. Besides, you can burn them real fast with a good workout.

My bowl was just as I like it—steaming hot, enough to activate the sinuses. The spice level was on the mild side, so don’t worry about burning the roof of your mouth. It was pure taste sensation, and if proper etiquette didn’t dictate otherwise, I would have lifted my bowl to my face to finish the last few drops.

It was that good.

The Place was busy on this Friday lunch hour, and rightfully so. Service was fast for those on a time budget, but if you’re just plain starving as I was, I was thankful. Get in here. This place deserves every one of its Google stars.

Vegetarian options: It’s easy to build your ideal vegetarian or vegan ramen bowl here!“
