This place has fantastic Asian inspired food in a hip casual atmosphere. The octopus was some of the best I have ever had, even when living in Spain. The sticky buns were great...try the soft shell crab. We sat at the bar and spoke with...More

As our hotel was in the Shoreditch neighborhood, we decided to grab something quick and we're glad we choose YUU! Everything we had was delicious (pork belly dumplings and soft shell crab were delish!) as were the tuna and sea bream. Try to get early...More

What a gem YUU kitchen is! Could not find anything negative about our lunch here. Some cracking tasty little dishes complimented by superb service and a cool atmosphere. Love the vibrant Japanese artwork on the walls. They even have Asahi and sparkling wine on tap....More

We had a wonderful dinner as well as the service. The Prosecco on tap is great as was the softshell crab. I left my receipt at the restaurant but when I emailed the restaurant they quickly sent me a copy. I'll definitely be back!

We had a very nice evening and very delicious food at YUU Kitchen. It's like Asian tapas, we ordered two small dishes per person and a bao (sort of bun). This was enough to leave room for dessert! Literally every dish we ordered was delicious!...More

Description
Yuu Kitchen is inspired by the fun, and freshness of flavours of South-East Asia and the Pacific Rim. Step through our doors and you'll also be embraced by a funky, fresh homage to comic-book and modern-manga style pop art. Fill your table with bao buns, bursting with buttermilk chicken, crispy tofu or 7UP-braised pork belly. Savour a poke bowl or salmon and jalapeño tostadas from the raw section.

*Please note the kitchen closes 45 minutes before stated closing time*
