Arrived at 11am, took my time, and was out by 1120am.
It was so nice that their thermostat was at a more comfortable temperature than the typical NYC eateries thermostats being on the Hades setting all winter long.
I enjoyed 4 and really should have eaten 3 since the yubu are pretty filling. FOMO won this time, but if I could go backsies in time, I would order the tuna mayo, imitation crab, pork jaeyook, and omitted the bulgogi. The pork jaeyook is tastier than the bulgogi, IMHO. I prefer the maillard reaction on typical bulgogi so this just wasn’t my jam. Random note, the chopsticks are so pretty!
The person in the kitchen did a great job with presentation. The rice had good texture and I felt each grain. I read others found the rice mushy, but that was not my experience.
The matcha latte with oat milk had just the right sweetness and not over iced.
The gentleman at the register was very well groomed, simply took my order, didn’t try to upsell, and overall wasn’t engaging. This isn’t a knock on him, if that’s the style of experience that is preferred and intended. A kiosk would serve a similar purpose and may be more cost effective in the long run if this is the case. Unless the cashier is the owner, then disregard that suggestion.
A steady stream of Dashers were in and out. One couple occupied a table when I arrived, and 2 other tables were occupied by the time I headed out.
Outlets are available if you want to charge, but they do not allow laptops, which I appreciate.

These tofu pockets are an absolute flavor bomb in the best way possible. Each tofu pouch is perfectly seasoned—slightly sweet and savory—providing a soft yet lightly chewy base that pairs beautifully with the toppings. A must-try if you are looking for something both traditional and playfully modern.

This spot in SoHo is perfect for a quick snack. I tried them for the first time and honestly they were really good. Each one of them was packed with bursting flavors. The beef one was my personal favorite and definitely for me this place is a must-visit whenever I’m in SoHo.

Found this spot while shopping in the area. Was only looking for a quick bite nothing too filling. Yubu served with their delicious Korean flavored inari rolls. My favorite was the seared salmon, very yummy and savory. Only complaint was the rice was too mushy

I love yubu especially the SoHo location. Amazing service from staff. Drinks and food are always top notch. The dalgona matcha latte is my favorite. The beef bulgogi, fish roe, and avocado yubu are delicious!

I tried 8 different yubus. Jaeyook, spicy chicken, spicy chicken cheese, bulgogi, salmon, torched salmon, spicy salmon and spicy mayo tuna.
Jaeyook and spicy chickens were a bit too salty for my taste. I recommend bulgogi, torched or spicy salmon.
It is very reasonably priced, simple and quick to grab. I would definitely get again if I am near and want something quick.

Nice little place with bite sized pieces that could serve as either a light snack or a full meal. The Haribo gummy bears that they gave me along with my plate was a cute little touch. Overall, a solid choice!

Lots of fun flavors of tofu rice balls Ive never had before. Rice was packed and sticky, avoiding the usual problem of it crumling apart. Definitely worth a try!

YUBU is a small Korean restaurant located in SoHo specializing in the tofu pockets its name is based on.
The atmosphere is like a smaller cafe, with many smaller tables sprinkled throughout the restaurant and quick and efficient service. The menus are plastered on the walls as well as at the counter, so it’s easy to determine what you want.
We tried the Bulgolgi, Pork Jaeyook, Spicy Chicken, Spicy Tuna Mayo, Seared Salmon, and Spicy Salmon Yubus. The rice was compacted into the tofu skin wrap, with it being a bit mushy and easy to fall apart. However, the rice ratio to the toppings was good, and the flavors overall was pretty decent. The spicy ones weren’t too spicy, but still had a bit of a kick. It was $25 for 8 of them, so decent price for the portion and number you get.
Overall a great place to grab a quick bite in SoHo.

This was my second time here. Food is always prepared quickly, and though the fella at the counter could be cold, he was super informative and patient when I asked questions. The restaurant seems like a cross between a fast food joint and a regular restaurant with service (to be sure, there’s no table service at Yubu); it doesn’t have much charm and is uninviting in general, but we’ve been able to enjoy our food comfortably. This stuff is better than sushi imo. More flavors and definitely more filling. I love the beef and spicy chicken! Go and enjoy!
