9.5/10We had a great meal at Yuu Kitchen. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and wine list - service with a smile! Everything we ordered was delicious. Fab decoration in the restaurant and love the hanging tables! We will be back next time we're in the area.

10/10Very tasty food and great service! Without the discount it would’ve been a bit pricey. They didn’t have a baby seat but we managed okay. Overall a very pleasant meal!

7/10It was my first time to have a meal at Yuu Kitchen. I was not welcomed when I arrived, the waitress was quite cold, aloof and distant throughout the whole time when I was there with a client. She doesn't smile, not much eye contact and lacked warmth in her presence and hospitality. She said I could sit anywhere until I said I wanted to sit there and she said no, it has to be 2 seats. I was amazed by inability to give clear instructions and rudeness. Fortunately the meals were delicious and the right amount of flavour to it, myself and my client enjoyed what we ordered that was vegan but I will not come back again as I can't stand coldness in customer service.

9/10+1The food was delicious. Our favourites included the aubergine, sirloin steak (cooked perfectly) and the kimchi fries. The rice was pretty dry though so my kids couldn’t eat too much. Service was very quick. We were in and out within about an hour. We didn’t try dessert as we were so full. Excellent value with the Fork discount. We’d go back again to try the other items on the menu.

10/10+4Awesome pan Asian food here! And I loved how the interior of the restaurant looked too! Come here for the food experience and the yummy sake, although the menu isn't very big. They still serve a wonderful range of options for you. Quality and taste was 5 out 5! No complaints
Yuu Kitchen • Owner
Dear Helen, Thank you for your lovely review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the pan-Asian dishes!

10/10Amazing food and service. I would recommend the pork katsu yaki, the chicken karaage, and the baos. The robata was a bit small for the price, but everything else was super tasty and at an affordable price. We also booked through The Fork App and we got a very good discount. The waitress we had was very attentive and took very good care of us, and the place is really beautiful. We'll definitely be going back!
Yuu Kitchen • Owner
Dear Lidia, Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the food and service, especially the pork katsu yaki, chicken karaage, and baos.

6/10The food tasted overly saucy and overpowering. Chicken karaage was not crunchy but soggy and tangy. Cabbage had nando's-like sauce on it. Bao buns were okay and quite fluffy. Service and atmosphere was nice though.
Yuu Kitchen • Owner
Dear Hayden, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your candid thoughts and are glad to hear that you enjoyed our service and atmosphere. At Yuu Kitchen, we pride ourselves on crafting a unique menu curated by our talented head chef, Mark. Each dish on our menu embodies a distinct Yuu Kitchen twist rather than adhering strictly to traditional recipes. Our intention is to offer a culinary experience that showcases high-quality ingredients and innovative flavours, blending the familiar with the unexpected. We understand that our bold flavours may not suit everyone and appreciate your input on the chicken karaage and cabbage. Your feedback helps us improve.

9/10Delicious food in a lovely setting, right next to Aldgate station. All dishes were delicious! Sharing plates of food was great for a group of friends. 50% discount was great but the food was very expensive for the portion size, so without out the bill would have been a lot! We spent £30 per person with one round of drinks.

8.5/10Food was very delicious, variety of options. I found it a bit expensive as portions were small but we ordered many options as we had 50% off on food. Staff were friendly too and good service. The ambience is not great, it was quite empty for a Saturday night.

5/10Price is very expensive. Portion size is very small. Not sure it is because it is 50%off (still not cheap) they cut the portion size. We ordered steak, pork and lamb rack. They all horrible. Steak is tough, ddid not look fresh, lamb only has 2 pieces, pork is hard and dry, taste like reheated in microwave. I have told my husband not to eat it in case it casuse tummy issue. Chicken karagee is the best so far, but still vy salty. Batter too thick. Wings is salty, only 2 wings. Horrible portion size Inside all high table and seat, very uncomfortable. It is now on my black listed list on google
Yuu Kitchen • Owner
Dear Irene, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. At our restaurant, we pride ourselves on the quality and freshness of our ingredients. All of our food is prepared fresh and cooked to order in our open-plan kitchen, where guests can see the cooking process firsthand. Grilled items, like steak, pluma, and lamb chops, are cooked directly on the grill, ensuring freshness and flavor without any reheating.Regarding portion sizes, our dishes feature 100-120g of pure protein, which aligns with our Japanese tapas concept. We encourage guests to share dishes, with a typical recommendation of 3-4 items per person to create a well-rounded dining experience. For example, our chicken wings are served as a portion of six, so it’s surprising to hear you received fewer—please let us know if something was missed, as this is not our standard. We take all feedback seriously, and we'll review your comments with our team. Team - Yuu Kitchen

10/10Ideally centrally located in the City of London. Close to Liverpool street station overground & Aldgate tubes. Attractively decorated, Asian mash-up fusion medium sized restaurant with open kitchen & chefs on display. Food steaming on open coals. Glad to see all the bird cages were MT. All waiters & waitress professional, polite & friendly welcoming & knowledgeable about food stuffs & drinks. From a series of plates - you are advised to select 3/4 dishes per person. I had tuna rice cakes, dynamite prawns & kimchi chips. All delicious. & priced under £10 each. I had my first bubble tea cocktail ever which didn't disappoint - a lychee oolong black tea with aloe vera bubbles priced under £7. Hot drinks are sensible priced at £3. Mocktails are £8 & cocktails around £13. Would return & recommend. TheFork discount easily applied.
