“ My brother often raves about how delicious the ramen is here (it's next to his work) and it took a bit of convincing since the interior has a casual, food court vibe- $14.99 lunch special ramen+boba. Wow, the flavors remind me of my neighborhood ramen shop in Taiwan... I'm glad I decided to come! The service was casual but the lady was nice! ”

“ Got classic tonkotsu ramen. Delicious! Great value and good ingredients. Coming back for sure! ”

“ Fantastic value for the food! This will be my go-to spot if I'm in the area, and do want to come back for their weekday lunch specials, which come with milk tea. I had the shrimp bowl and my partner got the veggie ramen. My bowl came with seven pieces of perfect shrimp, two pieces of broccoli, two carrot slices, onions and a lot of rice. Could not finish the rice! The veggie ramen had balanced flavor and packed with edamame, mushrooms, egg, scallions, etc. It wasn't too busy on a recent Friday evening around 8:30 after the movies. ”

“ I can't even explain the way I felt while eating this delicious ramen bowl. The flavors all complemented each other. I wish they were here in Jacksonville FL ”

“ Without a doubt one of the best boba spots in the neighborhood. You can't go wrong with any of their drinks and everything is done well, but my personal go-to's are the fresh grape tea (SO refreshing and addicting) and the classic milk tea. ”

“ Came here after work for a quick meal on a weekday. Quick and easy, this place is pretty solid. The space has ample seating for groups of 4. Gyu Don - Juicy beef over rice is always great. The flavor soaks right into the rice. I wish there was more variety of flavor in this dish (maybe an optional sauce or something), but it was still good and hit the spot.

“ DELICIOUS RAMEN AND BUBBLE TEA TODAY-MY FIRST VISIT, WITH MANY MORE VISITS HERE IN THE FUTURE, FOR SURE! PRONOUNCED: YOI, as in just put a Y-sound in front of OY!! Spelled YOI. Directly across from the AMC Kips Bay Movie theatre ON Second Ave, near 33rd Street--I just enjoyed a generous-sized CHICKEN RAMEN, and a Black sugar Milk Tea. TOTALLY GREAT MEAL!!! See my photos, please. Very nice staff. The chicken broth was delicious along with sliced white meat chicken, and the seasoned egg was PERFECTION!!! Martha Stewart would be proud ...for those who have her very first Entertaining book, with an easy tea egg recipe; altho the yummy egg in my CHICKEN RAMEN, was marinated in soy sauce, it really gave just the PERFECT added hint of seasoning, truly, the egg was perfection, with a creamy yolk. See my photos. My CHICKEN RAMEN ($17) also had plenty of wonderful ramen noodles, fresh corn, scallions, seaweed/Nori, bamboo shoots, and more. I enjoyed all of it. Even pouring the last bit of broth into my wonderful ladle-like large black spoon. This was all delicious. My Black Sugar Milk Tea was great ($7), and it is in a nice, tall and slender, reusable, covered cup, enabling me to shake the tea several times. I can even use this when I'm home to mix a breakfast drink. Win-win!! I shall keep YOI Ramen & Tea in mind whenever I'm going to the Kips Bay AMC movie theatre right across the street, or for any medical visits at NYU LANGONE Medical Center on First Ave/33rd Street. The UNISEX bathroom was clean and spacious. It just needs a few hooks in the back of the door for a tote bag/purse and jacket or coat. I'm told they plan to put hooks there. YOI has been open about 6 months. There are 2 tables to seat 4, and 2 tables to seat 2, PLUS About 9 additional stool-seating against the wall. Yes, you should enjoy some RAMEN AND TEA HERE, along with some appetizers, too. Next time, I look forward to trying the appetizer chicken karaage (fried chicken) and some dumplings or edamame. Oh!!--I even see DESSERT on the menu--Mochi Ice Cream 2 PCs) in green tea, vanilla, strawberry) $7. I will definitely be back!!! ”

“ Fresh made tea with real fruit. They are a bit more expensive than other bubble tea places. I went there during lunch time and was surprised to see the place empty given they also do Ramen. I ordered my drink with no sugar the way I usually do with other places because the fruit syrup is usually plenty sweet as is the boba. The woman behind the counter warned me that the drink may not be sweet, but I went ahead anyway. I should have listened to her as it was not sweet. That's my fault, not theirs. ”
