“ From ok to Japan-level quality: I’ve eaten Yatta’s foods from time to time ever since its conception, but always thought they had plenty of room for improvement - not bad, but not impressive either. That changed this year. Their Chicken Karaage has reached PERFECTION. So juicy, so tender, with the right level of crunch & thickness, without being too oily. Not under nor over-fried - just right. I could eat it for days… I dare say it’s reached the level of Japan’s Konbini karaage (not that I’ve tried, cuz not halal over there, but I’ve lived more than a year in Tokyo to know the level of quality of Japan’s local foods). Protip: consume immediately for best results. Their other menus & even drinks are pretty good too (vastly improved :) Please keep it up ”
“ Not bad for a quick bite. I like the service when a different team from before got on. I think the quality of service from the Indonesian servers is poorer, and slower. However, the local and Filipino team is better and they do not have simple issues with things like how the PayPass machine works, and the speed +quality of the service. ”
“ I only tried the Yoshi's chicken and I think it was quite good. The chicken was crunchy and the sauce was an egg mayonnaise mixture like a tartar. It had some tomatoes and lettuce with the rice beneath the chicken. The portion was quite big and the price was affordable. I would love to give the rest of the other menu a try. The restaurant is cute with pink LED lighting. Very retro kinda feel yet still cozy. The staffs were nice and the service was quite fast. ”
“ Halal The chicken karaage is a favourite and has been consistently good in the past few years. Always a good choice for a quick, simple lunch or dinner. Service is basic but could be warmer Atmosphere is good too.. clean enough, cool enough, and it has good music and sound ”
