Sushi was delicious but tempura dishes were not. We left most of it and the staff didn’t ask if it there was a problem or not

2nd visit and even more impressed this time - just a high quality, low key environment with attentive and unobtrusive service. Will definitely be back.

The first time that we visited Yakatori1 after a recommendation from a friend and as a family of 15 we weren't disappointed. Loved the food and the setting. Staff were fabulous, and I would definitely recommend it. Loved it! It made both my son's and my mum's birthday very enjoyable and memorable. Thanks so much, Louise x
