Pork ramen broth was pretty bland and nothing special. A pack of store bought ramen has more flavor than their broth.Pork was tasty and the veggies were pretty good. The egg is a little too soft.My favorite were the pickled mushrooms which is a dollar extra but was worth it. If they could make a better broth, this review would be 5 star

We've only done takeout from Yoko, but the food was wonderful! The gyoza is homemade and DIVINE--don't miss it! The chicken ramen is also stellar. Although the pork was the low point for us, it was still well above average by the standards of ramen in the U.S. We arrived at close so the staff was pretty distracted. Wish there'd been a bit more warmth in our interactions, but can't wait to go back and get the full (dine-in) experience soon!

Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of my cubano sandwich made by Mateo. I highly recommend YOKO RAMEN and YOKO TACO. You will be so stoked to try this SLC gem of a restaurant.

I ordered the chicken ramen. The ramen came with a good amount of meat and grilled cabbage and an egg dropped egg ( not the usual boiled egg). I didn't find the ramen too good, it was different from the classic ramen, but it tasted too buttery and the cabbage was charred. The smell and taste of the broth made me not eager to finish it. The aftertaste is not pleasant either. Parking is a little bit hard to find too. There's the parking lot that's apparently for Other Place, computer repairs, and etc. Don't know if you can park there since Yoko wasn't on the list.

5 star every time! This is hands down my favorite vegetarian ramen in Salt Lake City. Even with their small menu they have plenty of options and customizations, including vegan and vegetarian choices. Daily veg ramen + vegan gyoza is my go to order. The ambiance is the cherry on top, it’s quaint and always packed, for good reason.
Some aspects of the ramen surprised me. The pork had some crisp to it which I haven't come across before. The broth did seem slightly bland, but for going out for simple ramen it's great.

I’ve been looking forward to trying this place for months. And I’m going to say I’m extremely disappointed.I’ll start with the pros. The wings. They’re crispy, have a good amount of chicken and taste well.The atmosphere is also very nice.Cons. The menu. It’s small. I mean if you include the alcohol it’s large but there’s three ramen items?!Going with the wings i want to talk about what I’m guessing is homemade ranch. Tasted nothing like ranch and is thick with veggies, it’s damn near a Cole slaw.Now the ramen. I’ll say the chicken has good seasoning. That’s it. The broth was sooooooooo bland. I asked for chili oil because that’s usually the savior but look at the picture. It’s 97 percent oil and like a smidgen of chili. THAT IS NOT CHILI OIL. And it didn’t add much in terms of flavor or spice. And the hot sauce they had didn’t even save it. It was so lackluster. Now the noddles were okay but a little stiff. And the egg. Where have you had ramen where they give you a poached egg for your ramen. It was not it. The overall ramen experience was carried by the chicken but it does not make it worth it.
Ill be real, I think this place kinda dropped in quality as of recent. A real shame, this used to be my top spot to go weekly.

the bowls of ramen get smaller and smaller every time we go and it's just not as worth it anymore. Really good ramen but there are better ramen places in

Ordered my food to go. Rude customer service. My food had apparently been ready for awhile because it was warm and I had to reheat it when I removed it from the bag even though they gave me a pickup time of 30+ minutes from the time I ordered it. The pork ramen was mostly noodles and juice. The little bit of meat and cabbage was at the bottom. The amount of pork I received did not even match to the amount of pork in the pictures on other reviews. Everything tasted greasy. I don't have pictures but I wish I did.
