About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Fancy
Romantic

Yugen redefines dining after dark. A promise of an experience where food, drink, and music continue well into the night. A subterranean setting with a refined industrial feel, offering dishes and beverages influenced by the cultural richness of Asia. Tradition met with the intuition of a contemporary flair.

Food was amazing, the ambience was incredible the lighting beautiful. Tables are a little close together so it feels like you’re dining with others. That’s really the only negative that I have. The wait staff were wonderful.

The staff were very accomodating and gave us the best table in the house! One of our guests were late and they were very understanding, allowing us to postpone our reservation!

The place is good for photos, the service is decent. However, the food quality is not worth the price. We ordered the John Dory, it’s not fresh; the wagyu is dry and salty. It’s a bit disappointing.

Ambience is amazing the way the whole restaurant layout has been done is next to none. Service was 10/10 and the food is on the pricy side but worth it. Will be coming back again to try the different options such as the chefs special menu or the sushi. Overall experience was amazing.
