Great tasting ramen, gyoza and spicy chashu rice 🍜 fast service and excellent staff. My niece's go-to ramen shop 😋😋😋
Clean place, great service and awesome food... what more could you ask for!
Shio ramen: The shio is the most simple so you can really determine if the broth is good or not.
I think we’ve found our new to go ramen place! The ramen was delicious – rich, creamy, and very flavourful. It was the perfect bowl of comforting ramen that nurtured your soul.
Yah Yah Ya ramen has been a ramen spot that Grayson and I have been frequenting lately. There are a few Yah Yah Ya ramen locations in the Metro Vancouver area but it is originally a chain from Japan. Since it came from Japan, Grayson and I expected a quality bowl of ramen noodles. Yah Yah Ya Mazesoba
One of my go to's for ramen in Richmond. It is a small joint and they accept no reservations..sign in sheet system only and they only seat whole parties. Expect a wait during weekends and during prime meal times.
Like how you choose the tenderness of noodles, strength of broth and amount of oil in your broth. Broth is flavourful and chasu is tender. Egg can be overcooked sometimes though. Gyoza is lightly pan fried and has good flavours.
Can get super stuffy on a hot summer day. Need to crank the air conditioning.
This is prolly my favourite ramen shop in Richmond. I come here once a week especially in the colder months. My go to is the black sesame tonkatsu ramen. And i usually order the chasu rice bowl set. Very affordable and authentic!
The only thing I would complain about is that it closes too early. Other than that, the food and staff were great. A great deal for downtown.
As the first Japanese meal we had after our trip to Japan, although the dining experience was very different from the ones in Japan, the ramen noodle bowls were quite decent at Yah Yah Ya. The ramen shops, especially the ones owned and operated by Japanese, are actually quite good in Vancouver, as taking pride of what they are doing and keep up with the quality is always part of their culture. However, the small items like mentaiko or onigiri, were not nearly close to what we had in Japan. Those are definitely the must-try things when you travel to Japan!
Very good ramen. I had the Black Tonkotsu Ramen with Mentaiko don set. The price is on the more expensive side for ramen, however the food quality is excellent. For the black tonkotsu ramen, I chose the thin noodle with heavy broth for a nice punch to the taste buds. I would come again.
Went here on a Friday night with some friends to try out this ramen place. I’d passed by here several times previously on the way to Richmond Sushi, but never tried it until now. I decided to try it this time at the recommendation of a Japanese exchange student I met. Gyoza – $5. I thought these gyoza were on the pricey side. They had a nice colour to them but otherwise they really weren’t memorable.
Yah Yah Ya is a overall a good ramen place. The staff are friendly and cheery, and the ambience is comfortable. I got the gyoza, which was actually really delicious. The gyoza bottoms were crispy and browned, and the rest of the wrapping was not too thick and starchy. The pork and veggie filling was really juicy which was nice. I also had the shoyu ramen with corn. I like that customers can choose soup base taste, noodle texture, and oil level- perfect for an increasingly health-conscious world! The soup was still a little too salty for my taste even when I ordered normal taste. The noodles were chewy and good though. The chashu was disappointing, if was way too bland. There are better ramen places in Richmond but Yah Yah Ya is still OK.
Authentic Japanese restaurant. I recommend getting the large option for the ramen! It's huge and will get the job done! Lots of customization like noodles hardness, broth richness, and amount of oil. If you're in Richmond this is the go to place.
We were looking for a good Ramen place and found this location. It's in a strip mall with lots of parking.
Small place. When u walk in there is a clipboard, add your name to the list. They work off that. No real hostess.
Menu is on the wall by the table. Good selection and they have some combo deals you can get.
We got 2 different Ramen, side dish of bamboo, seaweed salad, some chicken appetizer, and some kimchi. All were excellent and my girlfriend really loved the seaweed salad. I saw her eyeing mine. We also ordered a pork donburi which was average, taste a little bland.
Kitchen is fast and service good.
Price is $$ and would go back. Suitable for dates, and small family. Over 4 people and not sure they can accommodate a party that big.
Yummy!!! Service quick and friendly. Miso broth good balance. Not too thick. Noodles cooked perfectly with a little bite. Karaage on point.

Tasty classic Ramen flavor. Very fatty and good broth. The noodles were good but the egg wasn't amazing. The last time i went here i got curry ramen and it was really good.
They have options for customization for each bowl. I usually switch out the noodles for spinach noodles as they taste and feel better. The taste is consistent and good; never had a bad experience. I would say the broth isn't as flavourful as it could be, even at different richness, but that's just my preference. Service is good. The entrance is very small, though. When it gets busy, people usually wait outside. The wait can be long on the weekends so be prepared.
Overall, it is a satisfying meal. A good place to eat with your family.
I came here for lunch recently and tried their Shoyu Ramen with thin noodles. Overall, the soup is flavourful and the ramen is good and it’s a pretty good value.
My fav go-to ramen place, love that it came all the way from Japan so its got the validity of being authentic. Love that they don't just serve ramen but also tsukemen, tantanmen(?) and mazesoba, their triple combo deal is nice, I always get that, I'm digging their strawberry soda actually, their ramen is great and I love their small beef bowl.
Decent tsukumen. I am not a big fan of the dipping broth as it was quite sharp and lacked body, but the ramen noodle, charsiew and egg was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back but would try the soup ramen next time. It was pretty busy at even 4pm so come early.
