Yugiri Ramen Project 212 West 1st Street, Sanford, FL 32771

"I’ve eaten here tons of times and everytime has been so wonderful! But what I really need to rave about here is the staff. Mike and his staff are top notch. We recently had them cater our rehearsal dinner and it was the best decision we could’ve made for the dinner. They were so professional, fun and all of the food was absolutely incredible as always. Whether you live close by or not, this is the place to go for top notch ramen."

"Ramen has long been a survival mainstay of college students for years, but Yugiri Ramen is not your son’s or daughter’s ramen. This is ramen done right, but on an adult’s budget. Yugiri is located in Henry’s Depot, a food hall in Sanford FL. Open since November 2022, Yugiri is a nice complement—and alternative—to the pizza, BBQ, fish, and other items sharing kitchen space. Order at the handy kiosks, and find a seat. They’ll text when your order is ready. We went with the Vegan Spicy Miso Ramen with tofu, although the standard version comes with seared pork belly and Soft Boiled Egg. It packs a spicy punch, good enough to get the sinuses activated. Other menu items range from familiar apps like edamame, dumplings, chicken nuggets, and something I want to try next time, the Addictive Cabbage. Entrees include a variety of ramen bowls, as well as Japanese Stuffed Vegetable Pancake. Vegan options are available on two of the ramens. Like most food halls, tenants come and tenants go. A couple of our favorites have found the exit. We hope that Yugiri is here for a long time, because their ramen is a fantastic step up from university days."

"I have been craving for good ramen and okonomiyaki, as they are part of my culture and finally found this shop. Honestly, they were delicious! The rich and flavorful broth, noodles were perfectly cooked, combination of flavors in the ramen soup was simply divine. And I have to say… the okonomiyaki and Korokke were the best I ever had in Florida. Especially Okonomiyaki… after so many disappointment at several Japanese restaurants in Florida, I finally had the one that tastes and cooks perfectly right. Too bad I could not try onigiri, but definitely next time for sure when I come back!"

"Easily the BEST ramen in Central FL, if not the whole state. The yugiri team clearly cares about their craft from expert precision to constantly coming up with new ideas. If you're in the area, get some! Never disappoints. Think I had a special spicy garlic one. All are awesome!"

"Ordered Tantanmen with extra Ajitama and a Miso Ramen. Everything was perfect! Tantanmen had the right amount of spice. Noodles were perfect. Broth was nice and thick. I'm definitely coming back for round 2."
