Our Story

Where East Asian fusion meets Midtown flavor flair.

From Brooklyn Dreams to Manhattan Flavor

From Brooklyn Dreams to Manhattan Flavor

Yum Yubu began as a spark in a small Brooklyn kitchen, born from Chef Ken’s vision to share something truly unique. With over a decade of experience as a sushi chef, he brought a bold fusion of Korean yuba and Japanese sushi to Midtown. What started as a humble idea quickly became a local sensation. Today, Yum Yubu is a celebration of culture, creativity, and culinary passion.
