Super fun spot that's perfect for your next adventure. Amazing fusion food and ambience. Highlights: - INCREDIBLE vibes. So interesting, so much character and personality. I would come here just to hangout inside/outside - food was Great. Huge menu with lots of options - self service was done really well. Free water + napkins, utensils. Very laid back, casual experience - decent parking (street + lot) Lowlights - while the bowlito was delicious, it kept falling apart! I mean it dissolves in your hands. I ended up eating it with a fork rather than with my hands - there's enough seating but during peak hours I imagine it's rough finding a seat Definitely coming back to this gem and sharing the good word. Lovely space with interesting/great food

I'm constantly here ordering the same items I have never had a bad experience here, it's very cozy, good food, very lovely at night too! I also love ordering the apple mint lemonade 10/10

5 Stars! Super fresh, healthy, and delicious Japanese-style food. My friend and I really enjoyed Yuko Kitchen, the food tasted really good and the best part was that we didn't leave feeling sleepy or unhealthy. Garlic shrimp bowl - I ordered this dish and it was really good. My favorite was the garlic shrimp and also the zucchini that was grilled perfectly. Tuna Crispy Rice - The rice was perfectly crispy but not super hard either. I also loved the generous portion of tuna on top. Chicken combo platter - I think next time I come I will order this. I loved all the things that they gave my friend, from the tuna roll, salad, and even the cookies with cream. Overall highly recommend and I would come back again to try all of the other food as everything looks so healthy and delicious.

Yuko Kitchen was the absolute coziest spot in Mid-Wilshire with healthy bowls and unique pastries. Walking in feels like a peaceful garden with plants all around! I tried the teriyaki tofu bowl and my sister got the beef plate. both were amazing and I recommend sitting outside with all the greenery. service was quick and food came out fresh. love it!!

Casual cafe with string lights and outdoor seating. It's a hidden gem and they have a $20 special that includes a hefty portion of chicken, rice, four rolls, and dessert (which the day I went were cookie bits). You order at the counter and then pay prior to your order being ready at the counter. You bus your own table and utensils/water are available inside. The food was good and I especially liked the value I got from my meal. Metered street parking. Takeout and dine-in available. Credit cards are accepted.

I love it here. to read. To study. To eat. All of the food is delicious. Of course there are some things. I love more than others but everything is high-quality. Super cute quiet place. I love that. They sell plants services always good. I do buy the carrot salad dressing. Keep it stocked in my fridge also really love to keep seaweed and their pumpkin to snack on throughout the week. THE FOOD: Tofu Rice Bowl - my go to. So much tofu so many veggies. The sauces on the side. Fried Broccoli - love these the dipping sauce is so good too Garlic Butter Rice - not worth the price. But a nice idea. Catfish teriyaki bowl - so good! Fish not overcooked, not too much sauce. perfection. Classic Chicken Teriyaki bowl - grilled chicken not friend out. Big slices with perfect amount of sauce. Ginger lemon tea - hot or cold, it don't matter they are both amazing! Carrot dressing - it stays stocked in your fridge. Good on all kinds of things be side salad Roasted pumpkin - another item I keep in the house just a snack on throughout the week

Date of visit: 8/23/24 First time. We got garlic shrimp and chicken teriyaki and both were amazing! I wish they'd put more shrimps as they're pretty small in size. The chicken teriyaki is not your everyday chicken teriyaki but it tasted so good! Will def come back and try other stuff!

Yuko Kitchen was recommended by my cousin who lives here. She says this is a favorite locals' spot. The restaurant is very charming and hidden in a corner by Wilshire and Dunsmuir. It's funny how the address says Wilshire Blvd but the restaurant itself is actually located on S. Dunsmuir Ave. It's hard to miss Yuko Kitchen as the exterior has colorful art murals and plants everywhere. It's a hidden gem. The ordering process: 1) Order inside. 2) Find table. 3) Wait for table number to be called. 4) Pick up order inside. 5) Enjoy your meal. 6) Please buss table. I ordered the garlic salmon sashimi salad, spicy salmon rice cake and mint lemonade. I didn't realize my mint lemonade was frozen, but I'm not complaining because it was actually quite delicious. It was the perfect hint of sweetness and the mint was super refreshing. The sashimi salad was super fresh and the dressing had great flavor. The crispy rice was a good portion, but it lacked a little bit of flavor, we had some extra Ponzo dressing from the salad and poured that over the crispy rice and was actually really good. I think it could've used a little bit more flavor or salt. Otherwise it was still tasty. One thing I'm unsure of is the total of our tab. According to the menu, if you add everything we had it should total $87.00. I remember tipping 20% and my credit card total charge was $130.55. Even after tax + tips, I feel like it shouldn't be as high as $130.55. At the time of payment, I asked for a receipt because I thought that was really pricey for lunch for 3 people. But they only give you a credit card receipt. I wanted to ask for a breakdown receipt but didn't bother because I didn't want to inconvenience anyone. Now I kind of wish I did ask just to ensure they charged me correctly. All in all, this spot has a lot of personality. The patio seating is adorable. I love all the artwork and plants everywhere! And the inside is so cute as well. My cousin says the owner loves plants and you can really tell with lush plants everywhere. Check it out if you're in the area. It's so cute and food is great. It's a whole vibe!

Craving a salad bowl, but also some sushi? Well, Yuko Kitchen has both! This is a hipster's paradise~ The atmosphere is really cute and whimsical. They decked out the whole place with plants and trinkets, which gave a very "lived-in" feel. The food is yummy! I ordered the deluxe salmon bowl, and it was humongous. I should've shared it with my partner, but I ate the whole dang thing and basically conceived an 8lb food baby. This place gets BUSY during peak meal hours (1pm), even on weekdays. All the hipsters in the area flock here. So, I recommend take-out or coming before/after the lunch rush.
