      We had an exceptional evening at Yukashi. Chef was very entertaining and answered all of our questions about the ingredients and Japanese cuisine. Everything was creatively presented and flavourful. We enjoyed the sake pairings and trying the chef’s own sake creations. The service was excellent and the restaurant had a wonderful ambiance. It was fun and elegant.

      If you want to awaken your mouth to delicious tastes that you’ve never experienced before… then this Michelin Star restaurant should definitely be on your bucket list. Wonderful food that is prepared & presented with the utmost artistry. And absolutely unique sakes to pair seamlessly with the food. Owner / chef is delightful. Serving staff attended to everything we needed and some needs we didn’t know we had. We will definitely be back. Loved the full experience.
