I haven't been to a restaurant like this before. Trendy Asian fusion that defied description. Preparation and presentation were exceptional.  We were there on a early Friday evening.
Three of us had 6 sides and a bao each. We loved the salmon rice cakes and all the other dishes were equally good.
Our server was exceptional and took very good care of us.
We wanted to visit again on Sunday but they are not open Sundays.

The vibe here was immaculate, very quirky and cool. We sat at the bar and had a few tapas and the service was great for a weekend. Id recommend everything i tried from the ube margarita to the wagyu bao. A neat touch on the bao is that each one has a edible portrait stamped on.

Trendy Asian fusion restaurant bar in buzzy area. Stopped in around 8:30 on a Friday and it was in full swing. We 4 got high top seats with great views all over. Being 4 ladies we didn't think to get the whole menu but went w several sides, a bao each, a fish dish, and 2 rounds of drinks

Big likes for fast service, good flavour and decently priced.

This place is a very trendy Asian fusion place with a hip decor and cool designs on the walls. The tables are high, and there's also bar style seating to watch the chefs cook which I thought was nice. The food was pretty good, I loved the sticky eggplant and they have some really good Sake here. I didn't like the grilled cauliflower pr grilled broccoli, it was too sour for my taste and had to eat it with mayo to make it easier. The salmon tataki was good, although sliced very thin compared to what regular Japanese restaurants do, too thin for tataki. The service was good and the atmosphere was very chic. However it was extremely expensive and the food although looked good, did not taste that great. My partner ordered ribs and there was very little meat on them as well. The menu is quite limited. 

Overall a chic and trendy Asian restaurant with good service but very expensive and not too great for taste.

Quirky restaurant serving asian tapas. The bao was nice but a bit expensive. The tuna on cracker was delicious but seeing the chef mix the raw tuna in the same bowl each time someone ordered the dish made me feel some way as I would prefer a fresh bowl since the warm bowl is sitting out. The wings and pepper salad squid were very salty so I suggest eating it along side with the bao.  

Service was friendly. Staff and chefs all had masks, there were also plastic shields between tables to help with social distancing.

Came here for a late dinner a few weeks ago and had a good time. After playing crazy golf, our very hungry group of ten tried to find a place nearby that could seat all of us. The staff was super friendly and did a good job putting up with us (we could've done better on the order synchronization). First, we ordered drinks. I had the Lychee Green Bubble Tea, which I really enjoyed. They only make it iced and the bubbles pop in your mouth (they aren't tapioca), but it was tasty. And then, I had a ton of food.

We ended up ordering almost everything. I tried the Twice Cooked 7Up Braised Pork Belly Bao and Crispy Soft Shell Crab Bao. The baos were tasty. The pork, which was oozing of goodness, and crab were both cooked well. The dough itself was mediocre and I could've used more flavor in the crab bao. For other dishes, I loved the: Wok Fried Kale (probably not surprising to those of you who read my other reviews and have learned that I'm super basic); Poke (again, not surprising); Jerusalem Artichoke, Lotus Root Crisps (light, airy and crunchy); Sweet & Sticky Eggplant (this was so so so good! Such great eggplant flavor); and Baby Back Ribs (well-cooked and flavored). For dessert, I had the Cilantro Ice Cream, which was kind of weird and not really my thing, but it was refreshing to have after all the other food.

They were open late so we spent several hours there. Had a lot of fun, would definitely come back!

This is going to be a long one so grab a snack. 

I was sent here based on a recommendation because the owner of the restaurant is a relative. We sat at the bar and watched the chefs prepare the ingredients for the day. We were recommended some of their popular dishes, which we ordered, alongside their cocktails. 

We started with their baos. We each ordered the 7Up braised pork belly bao. It looked delicious and had a picture of a manga printed on it. Presentation: 10/10. Taste: divine. The pillowy goodness of the steamed bun combined with the delicate perfection of the braised pork belly sent me to the heavens with each bite. It was nearly heartbreaking when I discovered that I had finished it. 

We had the lechon kawali next with steamed rice (topped with black sesame seeds) and a fried egg. Not your typical Filipino fix or presentation. No. This was presented to us with art matching the likes of Michelangelo. The taste paralleled the looks. Each bite was hit all the right spots..just enough crunch, sweet and savory. It was as if the dish was designed to make each bite a masterpiece. 

We also ordered the cheese and ube puto. In the typical Filipino sense, I was half expecting the dessert. I was wrong. What sat on the plate in front of me were these cute little puto sliders that were so delicately put together that could have only been touched by angels. The puto and the chorizo were made in house. You can only sit and appreciate all the thought that went into the makings of this gift from the heavens. 

We ended our food journey with the grilled broccoli and grilled cauliflower. I'm a fan of vegetables both cooked and raw but never in my life had I been given the pleasure of enjoying vegetables in this manner. The broccoli was superb but my favorite was the cauliflower. The sauce married well with the texture and taste of the cauliflower that despite being so full from the food I had eaten, I couldn't stop myself from putting another piece of cauliflower into my mouth. 

Along this sensational journey, I also had a couple of their cocktails. I started with the drunken calamansi. Sweet and refreshing. Definitely something I can keep drinking for days on end. I also had the ginger ninja. This was also delicious with a floral hint but the drunken calamansi was my favorite. 

The restaurant itself is decorated cutely with birdcages hanging from the ceiling and beautiful artwork around the room. 

If you ever find yourself in London, please please PLEASE make some time to drop by. You won't regret it.

Note: Learned on a return visit that some of their meat items happen to be zabihah/halal, so if you observe those restrictions be sure to ask your server!  Extra bonus to be able to eat the meat dishes here-- all tasty!

The food was outstanding. Went on a Friday for lunch and was surprised it wasn't more busy. I would recommend this to anyone in the area. Absolutely delicious!

I was fortunate enough to be staying three doors down from Yuu Kitchen earlier this month and was able to eat there on five separate occasions.  Every time I went there I was treated to a new set of delicious dishes.

I was usually there by myself and was seated either at the bar or at the counter overlooking the kitchen.  I enjoyed those locations because I was able to observe the staff preparing the food.  All of the kitchen staff seemed competent and looked like they were meticulously putting together the plates to be served to the customers.

I was eventually able to 15 of their menu items.  My personal favorites were the Grilled Broccoli, Raw Kale & Wakame, Chicken Inasal, Vietnamese Ssam and Spicy Tuna Tostada.  I also really enjoyed their Bao because the bun was so soft and had great flavor, but I still preferred other dishes.

I think the reason I enjoyed their food so much was because the dishes always seemed so well balanced.  They all seemed to bring in elements of the full flavor spectrum in a very harmonious way.

I ended up ordering three dishes most of the time.

If you are anywhere near a tube stop that easily gets you to Aldgate East it would be worth your while to make a trip to Yuu Kitchen for some great food.
