    We came here for dinner on a Friday night. I like coming here because they have an extensive menu. We really enjoyed their shrimp toast. They have a great selection of drinks as well. Our rice bowl had too much rice and not enough beef. For The ramen, it was loaded with noodles and toppings. I'm curious to come back to try their other appetizers.

    Yuu's dineout deal can't be beat! For $20 per person you will have enough food for two meals! The portions are great and come with many appetizers. My fav was the hamburger steak and I highly recommend pairing with one of their many creative non-alcoholic cocktails!

    Came for the $20-25 dine out menu and it was such a good value! You got tons of sides and variety. If you got the unagi don then it's $25, otherwise the other entrees are $20-23. Only downside is it was sooo busy and crowded there and you definitely felt rushed to leave as soon as you finished your dessert LOL service was decent, nothing out of this world

    Randomly came across this place looking for somewhere to eat. Food was good, pricing was somewhat high for ramen. Overall I enjoyed what we ordered- charsui ramen and the volcano beef ramen W/ spicy miso broth. Service wise was okay, they were a bit busy but it took awhile to place our order. We had to try multiple times to get the attention of the waitress Definitely recommend checking this place out if you like japanese food.

    I came across this place because I was searching for the flying ramen!! It is honestly a highlight of this place, but unfortunately, I did not end up getting it :( they only have takayoki flying ramen and I don't eat seafood.. so wasn't able to try it. Their menu is sooo vast! We took more than 30mins just deciding what to get because they have so many options and everything looks amazing. I got their black pepper chicken ramen and it was amazing! Very flavourful, I also added a lot of chilli sauce to add a bit of kick. Their vegetarian options were limited, but we got their veggie ramen bowl and it was pretty good. My friend got their fried squid and she loved it! Their fried tempura came with this sweet and spicy dipping sauce which I really liked. The service was very fast for a weekend!

    I came thinking we would get tapas to share, but ended up ordering these two dishes that were very filling. Good portion and tasted good! Pretty spacious place with lots of tables.

    Love the stone pot rice with kimchi and pork!! My family enjoys the chicken karaage, tofu, and curry beef with rice! I usually order the squid ink noodles too as it's one of my favorites!! The ramen noodles soup is perfect for those rainy days! The croffles are also delicious!! The service is pretty quick but make reservations for party of 6 or more since this place gets busy! Price is very reasonable.

    Chicken and skin rice bowl

    Went during the afternoon. Lots of parking and lots of tables as it's 3 pm already. For 2 people with small appetites, had their fruit tea, mentai macchiato udon latte, and chicken and skin rice bowl. The tea was fresh and cold. The udon latte was interesting and creamy, The chicken and skin was freshly fried and hot. I personally loved them all.

    Stopped by mid week for an early dinner. Yuu is located in a mall close to the Aberdeen Center with plenty of free parking. Their menu is very large with something for everyone. I opted for the Hell Fire ramen with pork, egg, corn and seaweed in a spicy broth. The presentation and taste were both good. And there was no issue with the service. It was a positive food experience and happy to recommend Yuu Japanese Tapas.

    The first time I took notice of this restaurant was when they introduced Ramen beer several years ago. I heard that this menu went viral worldwide, and I was even asked about it by friends in Japan. Finally, I had the chance to visit this restaurant. What I ordered Frying ramen The appearance was truly impactful. The noodles were deep-fried, giving them a firm texture that held up straight with chopsticks, as seen in the picture. After capturing the moment with a photo, the staff assisted us in cutting the noodles, allowing us to enjoy the entire dish. However, the sauce was a bit too oily, and the overall flavor was somewhat mild. Nonetheless, I appreciated the crispy texture of the noodles. Cream curry udon with shrimp katsu, Mashed potatoes covered the top of the Curry Udon alongside a deep-fried prawn. The deep-fried prawn was delightful, with a crispy exterior and a juicy interior. However, the Curry Udon's flavor was too subtle. In my opinion, the curry flavor should be stronger, especially to complement the generous amount of mashed potatoes on top, which exceeded my expectations. This dish needs some refinement. Deep fried oyster mushroom and deep fried oyster These deep-fried dishes were the highlights of the dinner. They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I thoroughly enjoyed both dishes. I noticed that this restaurant doesn't offer alcohol, which is okay. Instead, they provide a variety of desserts and bubble tea. The menu concept is quite interesting and definitely Instagram-worthy in appearance. While each dish could use improvement in terms of flavors and refinement, I look forward to trying their dessert dishes during my next visit.

    Went there with a few friends, we had a reservation for 7:00 pm but we got seated until 7:30 pm. Waiting for our food wasn't that long, everything looks so nice and tasted amazing, so it definitely worth the wait! I don't recall if there was music...but even though there were a lot of people, I could still hear my friends. Price was reasonable for the amount of food we had. (We went on Dine-Out days so probably that's why it was too crowded)

    One line review: A good idea smothered by mediocre execution. During COVID, many people seem to feel no hesitation to dine in a restaurant dining room, but medically, it's wiser for me to be more careful than that as I'm considered "clinically extremely vulnerable." So we were attracted to Yuu's, both by the extensive menu and the carhop service. When we arrived, we discovered that the carhop service is an extra 15% charge. That was NOT advertised. But we went with it anyway. We ordered: - Green salad (The best thing in a six-course meal. This was fresh, varied, and delicious.) - Marinated seaweed salad with real crabmeat (The biggest disappointment on the table -- lots of corn and mayo, virtually no crab.) - Beef cubes (Very tender but mildly seasoned. Nothing special.) - Gyoza (supposedly housemade but unremarkable) - Seafood okonomiyaki aka Japanese pizza (This was almost tasteless.) - Spicy Miso ramen (A decent portion, but slightly below average execution. Sadly, despite the name, it was NOT spicy at all.) The server brought a long, narrow table which hooked to the window slots on either side of our car. Remarkably, it was designed so that my wife was able to raise her window to block the cool breeze -- nicely done. The service generally was pretty good; the servers were kind and patient with us. The experience was novel, but the food was subpar. The final indignity was that the six dishes we ordered, plus tax and tip, added up to $100. That's horrible value for what was a subpar meal. Perhaps we ordered the wrong items. But we'll never know because we won't be back to try again. Parking was free in lot. Bottom line: Too mediocre and too expensive.

    creamy curry udon with shrimp tempura, red daikon, and fresh raisins for toppings
    Mike T.

    I visited Yuu way back in February 2020 just before covid 19 hit with a couple of friends of mine. (I know this review is super long-winded so skip to the TL;DR part at the end if you don't want to read it all.) Found a nice coupon deal online where you can get their cream curry udon combo and milk tea for only $10.50! (normally over $18) so i decided to try this place out. Location wise, as a transit user, it is pretty convenient. The plaza where it's located is kitty corner from Aberdeen centre skytrain skytrain station. Just a short 10 minute walk. As soon as we came in, we were welcomed by the restaurant host and then served (lukewarm) japanese green tea and given menus as soon as we were seated. The tea tasted alright and not too watered down. First impression of the decor is the table seating arrangement is spacious. Some other restaurants i've been to around vancouver are more cramped but this one gives ample table space between customers which i like. They have nice and comfy dining chairs. These are not your regular dining chairs that only pads your bottom. No, these are the more premium chairs which pads your upper back as well. Thet dark wood tables compliment the comfy vibe of the whole dining area. There was actually a lot of thought behind the design of the restaurant. Soft modern love songs at a medium volume played in the background. Paper lanterns hang on the ceiling with warm lighting All these elements kinda gave a comfortable vibe. They also hung homemade informational hand-written posters in english about japanese food which was a nice touch. The ambience seems to depend on the time of day and how busy it is. It was pretty quiet in the beginning but it got really busy after 6pm. It's quiet if a few tables are occupied but gets VERY loud when the place is packed. You'll have yell a bit to talk when it's packed. As for food, I ordered a hot caramel milk tea. Caramel milk tea tasted artificial but it was still tasty. Nothing to write home about here, a lot of places have similar taste of caramel milk tea like this. It's decent. The problem is the waitress gave me a cold caramel milk tea. It was not hot as I requested. I didn't say anything though because i drank through half of it already and it was quite busy. It was prettyhard getting the waitress attention so I just drank it. First impression of the cream curry udon just by itself was that it's not bad overall. Just based on taste, it was not bad. It had a sort of thin, silky smooth layer of mashed potatoes with japanese brown curry and udon noodles. I like how they also provided an ample amount of sliced bit sized pieces of red daikon and fresh raisins to add as toppings. It definitely enhanced the flavor of the udon. Panko shrimp tempura was included on the side. THAT was really delicious. It had thick and crispy breading and it was cooked well overall. I really enjoyed the crispy texture and flavor of it. By itself, the cream curry udon only had a subtle flavor. But when combined with the toppings mentioned above and the shrimp tempura side dish, it gives it a MUCH fuller flavor. That's when I realized the cream curry udon, toppings, and shrimp tempura definitely should be combined and eaten together. OK, now that's good stuff!! My friend ordered the same thing as I did and he thought the curry was "pretty good." Portion wise, the curry was an ample amount. I was actually pretty stuffed at the end because the combination of tea, potato based curry, and the milk tea surprisingly fills you up big time. Some of the dislikes I have is that the washrooms only have single stalls. It's inconvenient for a medium sized 40+ patron restaurant to have single occupancy washrooms for each gender. It wasn't free for a while when I needed to use it. Another dislike is that the staff needs to work on their demeanor towards customers. The host at the front gave a kind of a cold vibe with no smiles or saying welcome or thanks for coming. Also, a lot of effort was needed to get the waitress attention to ask for a bill. It took a long time to try to get her attention. Service from our waitress was pretty indifferent with no hello or thank you. Just take the order and walk away quickly. Despite all the dislikes listed above, for the price I paid for my meal on this visit, i thought it was good experience overall. Just came for the good food. I may come back and try their other curry someday if i'm craving japanese curry. TL;DR i give it a 3.5 out of 5 rounded up to 4. It's definitely worth a try for their awesome cream curry udon combo! Their milk tea tastes decent. Their slow, indifferent service could use improvement. Don't come after 6 if you want a kinda quiet ambience because it will be super loud and packed.

    Parking is easy as it is in a small mall…read more The service was very good. Our tea was always topped up and the servers were cheerful and very helpful. We sat in a separate section of the restaurant with 3 tables at the front. We ordered chicken wings, assorted tempura, miso black cod and an order of beef teriyaki that was not on the menu. The servings are very small for the prices charged. We found that the chicken wings (only 4 small wings) $9.50 were a bit dry. The tempura batter was not as crisp or crunchy as we've had. The miso black cod was a very small portion - maybe 4 oz. for $18.00. We did not feel that there was value for the money. The food was average and the prices were too high for the quality and amount of food received. We did not enjoy the anime that was playing and we were glad that we were not sitting in the main dining room. Overall, we feel that there are better options for a Japanese meal.

I loved the interior of this place! It's clean, but warm toned, and stylish. We opted to share the Zenbu set (comes with variety of pork, chicken, cheese, seafood and veggie tempura) and realized we could get refillable rice, soup, and salad for both of us. This was awesome! I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken thigh. I normally always order pork katsu, but the chicken was tender and juicy. The scallop was huge and not rubbery at all! There was more than enough food for the both of us and we even both had leftovers for lunch the next day. We also ordered the lobster croquette, which was fun to try. Like any croquette, there was a lot of mixed ingredients apart from the lobster, but it was still tasty and fun. The staff were attentive at refilling items and were easy to flag down. This is definitely a place that I would return to again and again when I'm in the mood for Katsu.

When I first walked in, we see the setup is very traditional Japanese style with small dividers and booths. The waitress took me to our booth, and left the tablet for me to use to order food. I like how they provide tablet and also have the option to order by scanning the QR code. We ordered several dishes to share. The aburi sushi set was one of the highlights. It came with 7 pieces of different kind of Aburi sushi. We like how they torched not only the tipping, but also the rice. It added so much flavor to it. The Taco wasabi was also very refreshing. My first bite had a kick to it, then I got used to the wasabi. We also got to try some of the bbq dishes, such as the Gyutan (beef Tongue) and the Ton Toro (pork belly). The Sukiyaki beef nabe was delicious, however, it was very salty, and ot was over killed by salt. The Foie gras fried rice was suppose to be one of the most anticipated dish, however, it was a little underwhelming. We could find a lot of foie Gras, which was a bit disappointing. The service was decent, They even changed our plates during our meals. The food came out very quick after we ordered. However, for some reason, they didn't like to communicate with English. Every time when I spoke English, the waitress spoke Chinese back to me. See I'm not sure why. Overall, it was a pretty nice place for small group gatherings.

    Came here on a rainy day and it was the perfect place to enjoy a quiet, cozy afternoon. Tsujiri has…read moresuch a calming atmosphere. The matcha drinks and desserts were beautifully presented and tasted rich and authentic, with that deep, fragrant matcha flavor that's never too sweet. We have today: Hojicha shaved ice, replaced with matcha ice cream. This location in Richmond had ran out of Hojicha ice cream for a long time. We asked every time when they will have hojicha ice cream back and staff doesn't know either. Hojicha Chestnut Shortcake, Cake is soft and fluffy, and very too sweet. It is always my favorite. This time i gave a 4 stars is because they discontinue serving Onigiri ( rice ball) and savory item. That's too bad! I love their Onigiri and ramen! Staff said the one inside the open road Toyota still has savory item. Maybe next time I will try that location

When I had the chance to go to Vancouver, BC with my boyfriend I wanted to go here! First all, you need a reservation specifically for the high tea portion so we booked that ahead of time. As you go in you are led to an area of Tsujiri where there are just tatami mats and no shoes are allowed on it. We were first sat down with matcha to start with and the music surrounding us was serene and calming. Then came the high tea, compared to your usual high tea, without the Japanese fusion. This came with a lot of interesting treats. In the middle tier, there was your savory two different types of onigiri, savory rice cakes, and elevated salad with a jelly. The salad was incredible and unlike anything I've had before. The onigiris were good as they should be so was the rice cakes. Top tier and bottom tier consisted of the desserts one plate for me and one plate for my boyfriend. My favorite was the mango mochi. It was so creamy and delicious! The other dessert was solid too, I like the little mousse cake. I also liked the add on of a matcha sauce for the fruits. Tsujiri definitely transformed high tea into a Japanese version and it was well put. Both usually make me full. I do wish there was more options on savories you could have before eating the sweets, but this is a slightly different experience.
