This place was so good. I suggest going with a group to try different things. There is a lot to choose from. Make sure to look at the hard copy menu since there are more options than what is on the over head board. We shared a bulgogi, spicy pork, spicy grab and unagi yubu. We also got the rose toppoki. It has the right amount of heat and the rice cakes were nice and soft. The meal also came with miso soup that was also delicious. I wish there was one closer to where I live but glad there isn’t because I would eat there too much.

The food is really affordable and, most importantly, very tasty. The girl at the counter was very friendly and approachable she took the time to explain how to use the wrappers to eat the food, which was definitely a plus.
I tried 6 Yubu, each one with a different flavor, and all of them were good every one had its own unique taste.
The place has a café-style vibe. The floor could use a little more care, but overall it feels casual and relaxed. It’s very popular with young people, and you can tell it has a TV playing Korean music videos, which gives the place a cool, modern vibe.
There are several businesses in the small shopping center, but parking is limited, so plan ahead, especially during peak hours.
Simply put… I liked it and I’d come back.

The food selection is so big that there is something for anyone. The yubus are so delicious and affordable. In terms of yubus, I personally recommend the Philly cream salmon, spicy BBQ pork, and unagi avocado. It’s a good place to dine in and definitely one of my favorite quick bites in k-town.

Located in K-Town, I’ve been hearing a lot about this spot that specializes in yubu (inari) sushi — rice stuffed in a sweet tofu wrap with different toppings. I came pretty close to opening time on a Saturday, and it was already busy. Parking can be a bit tricky depending on the time of day.
I ordered the spicy salmon, lemon salmon, torched salmon, mentaiko crab, king yubu, and spicy tuna. They were all pretty good, but my favorites were the lemon salmon and torched salmon. The lemon really helped cut through the sweetness and richness of the yubu, and the torched salmon had a nice toasty flavor that made it stand out.
The pieces are decently sized and come packed with toppings, but they run about $6 to $10 each, so you’d probably need three or four to feel full. I like the concept and presentation, but the yubu itself does get a little too sweet after a while. Still, I’d definitely come back for a quick snack or to grab a few for a picnic or road trip.

Came here after seeing videos online about this place and left very happily full. A friend and I came around 3pm and it was pretty empty. We order just the yubuchobop, and got 6 of them, and the order came with a complimentary miso soup. I ate 2, spicy tuna spicy BBQ pork. My friend got 2 of the salmon kind but i forgot which ones, a beef belly and a bulgogi one. He loved his, and I loved mine as well. They were very stuffed and each one took more than a few bites to eat. The spicy pork one was my favorite that I ate, and my friend said he loved the salmon one and was glad he got 2.

I really bigbacked here after I was studying in the area aside from the cheese corn and Philly hand roll, I did buy 3 pc of yubu! onion mayo karrage, Philly, and the grilled bulgogi, which i downed asap, but next time ill get a pic. The 3 pc was ab 20$ total, but they have a lunch deal for a 3 pc with a drink for 16.99$!! Then the hand roll and cheese corn was also 20$ . All were delicious!! I was full just from the 3 pc yubu, but I couldnt resist i love corn cheese

Swung by the other day and it’s a solid, straightforward spot for Yubu chobop (Korean-style inari). We tried different Yubus and Cupbops. My faves were: Queen Mermaid Yubu, Grilled Bulgogi Yubu, Kimchi Spam Yubu, Unagi Avocado Cupbop. The Rosé Tteokbokki was nice too. They have different signature drinks as well, which I got the Shine Muscat Mojito Ade. The prices are fair and the lunch deal with 3 yubus and a drink for around $15 is hard to beat. Other items like hand rolls or cupbop are good to mix in if you’re hungry. Very convenient spot for a quick meal. Will definitely be back to try some other varieties I wasn’t able to this time around.

Yummy & cutesy! I’ve been to the place three times and had the lunch special twice. It’s surprisingly very filling. Casual and cozy vibes 🙂

First time trying Yubu and they were delicious—definitely worth every penny. Although the parking situation was a nightmare, that’s expected in such a compact neighborhood. The cozy little spot is tucked away in a small building

Ok, I’m embarrassed to admit that I never knew what Yubu was until today. I was in the area after taking my bike to a shop and decided I wanted to get some lunch. This place came up on my search and it looked good so I stopped in and ordered their lunch special (any 3 yubu and a drink) for $16.99. I ordered the Lemon Salmon, King, and Torched Salmon.
Ok, for anyone else who didn’t know, they’re stuffed tofu skin pockets. They looked small, but are actually pretty hefty and filling. Rice was spilling out as I happily bit into each piece. They give you gloves to eat them with if needed. I was already full after my second serving. Each flavor was very tasty, and I highly recommend the ones I ordered. Like eating sushi, but instead of nori, it’s fried tofu. Loved them!
The space is pretty casual and clean. Service was quick and friendly. Parking was easy- there’s a small lot right in front of the building. Overall, I’m happy I tried it. I will definitely get it again.
