Self-service place, pretty popular among locals, but since I had a much better ramen, I gave them only 4 stars. It is decent, hearty, but not just the best. But it filled the bill.

Cute place, poor ventilation. Staff is beyond indifferent. Ramen tasted like someone tried to make soup out of overcooked bacon. Left with my hair smelling like grease.

The ramen is too salty. The egg is not Japanese style. The noodles texture just like an instant ramen.

A quality noodle house like this is a treasure. Yoko is one of these.A simple menu that focuses mainly on Ramen, the food is excellent. The broth is hearty, the noodles well cooked, and it is brought to you quickly and hot. One of the few noodle houses that I'll completely finish the bowl.The place is small, and split between a traditional setting and a sit down area with more modern aesthetics. It is located right next door to a bar as well, making it a great stop beforehand.A lovely community cornerstone, this is a place to visit.

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.
