A Manga Feast at YouMee, CyberHub – Where Anime Meets Appetite I've often said that restaurants must tell a story — of food, of culture, of memory. But at YouMee, nestled in the always-buzzing CyberHub of Gurugram, the story isn't just told. It's sketched, splashed in colour, and brought to life in a riot of manga panels and umami-packed bites. Now, I'll admit: I'm not the biggest anime fanatic. I know my Ghibli from my Naruto, sure, but I don't lose sleep over cliffhangers. Yet, when I heard that YouMee was hosting a limited-time festival called Manga Matsuri, I was intrigued. "A place where anime meets ramen," the invitation said. Count me in. The Manga Matsuri is less a food festival and more a multi-sensory experience. Walk in, and you're immediately transported into a world where animated heroes slurp bowls of ramen and battle demons over dessert. The décor is unapologetically vibrant — manga cutouts, pop art wall panels, and themed table setups that would make even the most serious critic crack a smile. You half expect to see Goku walk in and order a plate of gyoza. But strip away the fanfare and cosplay cues, and what remains is still what YouMee does best: bold, unapologetically inventive Pan-Asian cuisine. Let’s talk about the food. We began with the Spicy Chicken Katsu Sushi — crispy karaage-fried chicken rolled tightly in nori, dotted with mayo, and sprinkled with togarashi pepper. It’s not traditional sushi, but it’s unapologetically YouMee — comfort food dressed in cosplay. The Spicy Vegetable & Chive Dimsums were another revelation. Vegetarian dumplings can often feel like an afterthought, but here, the fiery filling of chives, lotus stem, and water chestnut was balanced beautifully with black mushroom and fresh red chili. There’s bite, there’s depth, and above all, there’s flavour. Next came the Stir-Fried Chicken Udon Noodles, wok-tossed with Sichuan chili flakes and an assortment of vegetables. Udon noodles, with their thick and chewy texture, held their own against the heat. This dish, much like the entire festival, is a blend of comfort and chaos — in the best way possible. Go for the sushi, stay for the sass.
