YOI Ramen

A friend from South Korea recommended this place to me. I first tried it two years ago with her and have been coming back regularly ever since. The food and service are outstanding, the prices are reasonable for Dublin, and the staff are friendly and easy to talk to.

We visited on a busy Tuesday evening after work and were seated outside. Unfortunately, the outdoor area lacked charm, feeling small and situated on a busy street with limited, somewhat cluttered seating. Despite the less-than-ideal ambiance, the food quality was good. The sushi pieces were impressively massive, and the octopus dish was delicious. However, the large sushi portions were challenging to eat with chopsticks, and we struggled to get our server's attention to gain a fork due to how busy it was. We doggy bagged quite a bit of food, but the quality truly stood out. Back again months later I tried their Gyuniku Donburi in the evening and found it quite heavy, the full dish was dry from the rise to the beef to the egg, a choice I would avoid.

An absolutely great little place!

The ramens are excellent with great taste!
The service is outstanding. Fast, kind and polite.
The atmosphere and everything feels very authentic.
A little piece of Japan.

I would recommend them from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for making this world a better place!

Went in literally an hour ago, asking for a table for one and the staff told me i need to wait for 20min, I don’t want to wait that long in the cold weather as they have no space for customer to wait inside the restaurant. After I placed my order, I saw two table of customers left so I asked if I can change my take away order for dine in, the staff told me I can’t because take away and dine in is different, I said I don’t mind to pay for the difference, then she told me actually there is no price different between dine in or take away and she can’t changed my take away order to dine in, I told her I placed a take away order because the staff told me it’s takes 20min to get a table but obviously it’s not, so why I can’t have my food in the restaurant with the same price? She offered me to sit outside to have my take away, while somebody came after me got a table? That was absolutely a joke! When I was home, the lid of the soup container wasn’t closed properly and the soup spilled in my car! The only taste I got from the ramen is “salty”, and it’s cold! Have to drink two glass of water after eating this salty ramen! I paid the same price while somebody else can sit in the restaurant to have hot dinner, it’s not tasty but at least hot, but me, have to reheat the food yet have to clean my car! There is no atmosphere at all as the place is small, food not great, but at least all the staffs should be well trained on how to manage table turnover and tell the exact information to the customers! Oh ya! And how to pack take away order!

I tried the Kimchi Ramen.. Very good price to quality ratio! Staff is nice and kind.. Interior looks like a small cafe/restaurant in Tokyo or Seoul.. I would highly recommend
