“ Another insanely good bowl of ramen. The quality of this food is seriously exceptional. This is the spicy miso pork belly ramen special. You just cant go wrong. ”
“ Great experience. I got the fish donburi at market price. It was AMAZING! Reasonable too 20. My partner got the teriyaki chicken. Everything tasted fresh, and well seasoned and prepared. Excellent and friendly service, amazing food, and Oregon wine labs provides a serene atmosphere. Cant recommend enough! ”
“ The Butadon was incredible! Some of the best pork belly Ive ever had. Huge props for the locallysourced and organic ingredients. Portions rightfully somewhat reflect the higherquality ingredients, as they should. Support places like this that offer higher quality more nutritious food and often struggle with lower profit margins. ”
“ Yabai is now serving ramen every day! Our family had a great meal here recently. We always enjoy the Oregon Wine Lab and the Da Nang food cart that was at the Lab for so many years. Yabai is a great food cart to fill in. The ramen has a lot of different things that can be added so you can get a different flavor every time if you want. The ramen can also be made vegan! If youre looking for hearty and nourishing hot soup this winter check out Yabai!! ”
“ This cart has some delicious food and the woman working was so stinking friendly!! It was my first time here and she helped to navigate the menu. We got to talking about other fun places to eat in the region, too. I had the planet earth vegetarian ramen and added the pork belly. The broth was so good! The chili oil added a great spice to it. The noodles perfectly chewy. And the pickles throughout just really made for a well rounded bite. Maddy brought us some onigiri to try too SEE, SO NICE! The mushroom was fantastic, and my dining partner loved the tuna. Yabai Nikkei was at the Oregon Wine Lab, and honestly, Ill follow them anywhere. ”
“ The chefs have an amazing understanding of the perfect balance of flavours in their food paired with the skills for preparation and the eye for presentation, Yabai Nikkei is a joy for the senses. One of the best food carts in town, plus reasonably priced considering the quality of their ingredients and the absolutely mouthwatering dishes. Youll be blown away by their larger dishes, but you cant go wrong with the smaller items even the Onigiri and house pickle plates have had no effort spared. The service is great as well! The outdoor or indoor seating options at Coldfire are also very enjoyable. If I could eat here every night, I would! ”
“ Yabai is one of our favorite food carts in Eugene, their normal seasonally changing menu is great, as well as their specials, are excellent and all the staff is friendly and great, weve followed them when they moved locations and at their current location, Coldfire Brewing, you have access to excellent beers, ciders and non alcoholic options to pair with their dishes. ”
“ Its not everyday that you find properly seasoned food in a restaurant. Really tasty, simple, perfected flavors. Ramen was delicious, chicken juicy, chicken broth rich. The salad was lightly dressed with a balanced dressing and homemade pickles. I will definitely be back to try everything on the menu! ”
