Ever crave an Izakaya night but find yourself miles away from Japan? Worry no more—Yabe Izakaya brings that authentic Japanese vibe right to us. With a menu packed full of Izakaya favorites and a standout ramen selection, it’s a must-visit for any ramen enthusiast. Conveniently located in the Paskal area, we found it perfect for a pre-club meetup or a late-night food fix after hitting the town.
The Well-Known Best Ramen
We started with the Signature Chicken Ramen, a comforting classic with its rich, savory broth, a hint of sweetness, tender chicken slices, and perfectly cooked noodles. Topped with scallions and a sft-boiled egg, it was a well-balanced bowl that warmed our souls.
Next, we tried the Chicken Truffle Ramen, which took things up a notch with a touch of luxurious truffle oil. The creamy, umami-packed broth was velvety and indulgent, making it a gourmet treat that was hard to resist.
For those who like it spicy, the Spicy Prikara Ramen was a hit. The bold, fiery broth had just the right amount of heat, and the tender chicken and crisp vegetables complemented the robust, invigorating flavor, making it a thrilling choice for spice lovers like us.
Ramen's Perfect Companions
Yabe Izakaya doesn’t stop at ramen—they’ve got fantastic side dishes that were perfect before or alongside our noodles. The Fried Enoki mushrooms were crispy and savory, offering a delightful crunch in every bite. The Chicken Gyoza delivered juicy, flavorful dumplings that made for an excellent appetizer or the perfect ramen sidekick. The Tori Smoked Yakitori stood out with its smoky and savory flavor, while the Chicken Thigh - Tare featured juicy pieces of chicken thigh glazed with a sweet and savory tare sauce. If you're a fan of crispy textures like we are, the (Kawa) Chicken Skin - Tare was crispy and flavorful. Our personal favorite was the Beef Casiu—tender, flavorful beef that paired perfectly with the ramen.
Refreshed and Sweet Treats
To round out our meal, we tried some of their refreshing drinks like Probiotik+, Kyuri Desyo, and Matcha-Chan—each offering a unique and invigorating flavor. For dessert, we indulged in the Brownies Matcha Mochi with Ice Cream—a rich, creamy treat blending matcha and sweet brownie that was simply irresistible. We also couldn’t resist the Creamy Pudding Kuromitsu, with its silky texture and a touch of caramel sweetness for a delightful finish.
Yabe Izakaya offers a unique and satisfying experience that’s perfect for ramen aficionados and casual diners alike. Whether you’re dropping by for a pre-party bite or winding down after a night out, Yabe Izakaya promises a memorable and delicious ramen adventure that we’ll definitely be back for.
