"Disappointing Experience — Underwhelming Food and Service"
I was really looking forward to dining here, but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The food was mediocre—bland and overpriced for what was served. Service was poor; we were oddly moved to a different table just as our food arrived, and from that point on, it felt like we were forgotten. Overall, it was a very disappointing visit.
"A Must-Visit Gem: Incredible Food and Vibe at Yuki Bar"
We had an incredible dining experience at Yuki Bar! The food was absolutely outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We tried the beetroot, pak choi, John Dory, beef, dumplings, and steamed monkfish, and every dish was delicious. The service was impressively fast, and we all felt satisfied yet light after the meal. Highly recommend booking a table in advance, as the space is quite small and might not suit large groups. That said, the atmosphere is cozy and has a great vibe overall.
"Overpriced for What You Get"
The food was average at best and certainly didn’t justify the extremely high prices. Overall, not good value for money. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re going just for the name.
"Unforgettable Solo Dinner Experience — Exceptional Food, Wine & Hospitality"
This was my second visit—my first time was sharing wine with a friend, and this time I came solo after work, looking to unwind with a good meal. The server handling the wine was incredibly knowledgeable, walking me through the "by the glass" options. She recommended a red that perfectly matched the hot, humid weather—juicy with a sparkling acidity (despite not being a sparkling wine). It was a refreshing and unexpected shift from my usual orange wine, and absolutely spot on. For food, I left it in the chef's hands. After asking about my appetite, they curated a selection tailored to me. Every dish was simply but expertly prepared, using high-quality ingredients that shone through. My photos didn’t do the meal justice, but the highlights included egg mayo, aubergine and potato, seabass with mustard greens, dumplings, hake with lentil stew/curry, and a grilled onigiri in dashi. Each course flowed beautifully into the next, and by the end, I was absolutely full—and that’s saying something, because I’m a big eater. Huge thanks to the entire team. If you’re still reading—go. I truly can’t recommend this place enough.
"Interesting Natural Wines, Great Service, but Food Lacks Depth"
The restaurant offers a unique selection of natural wines, which have kombucha-like qualities—so they might catch you off guard if you're not expecting it. While the food is beautifully presented, it didn't quite deliver in terms of flavor complexity. That said, the service is excellent and the overall atmosphere is warm and inviting.
