Hands down the best lunch spot in the neighborhood. Recs: combo plates, cold tofu udon, boba tea happy hour, all the cookies!
Vic ZaudMarch 31, 2018They specialize in sushi salad bowls and they are awwwwwesome!!! Get anything!
Anthony NguyenAugust 18, 2016The standouts are the spicy salmon crispy rice, the iced honey latte, the apple mint lemonade, and the marshmallow blondie.
I seriously crave the food from this place, it's so good! Love Yuko Kitchen! My favorite's the unagi rice bowl and the apple mint lemonade is fantastic. Delicious green tea choco chip cookies too!
They have really good rice bowls. My favorite is the Unagi bowl. Mint Lemonade and Strawberry Soda are my fave drinks. Green tea chocolate chip cookies are amazing.- Lazar StojkovićJuly 4, 2018Very generous portions. The spicy salmon rice cake is simply wonderful. (It's a staff favorite, I was told.) Be sure to try the green tea chocolate chip strawberry cookie, too.
Ivy KwanFebruary 23, 2014I love this place! Generous portions with yummy dressing for the greens. You have to try the strawberry lemonade soda - super refreshing. So glad that I discovered this hidden gem in my hood!
April ArrglingtonAugust 11, 2012This is my FAVORITE restaurant in the #miraclemile. Great food, vibe, and they play great classic anime movies. Try the mint lemonade if u stop by. Delish!!!
The chicken vegetable udon soup is like the real version of the noodle soup from Kung Fu Panda. Also the chocolate chip cookies rule!
Colton DickinsonAugust 4, 2022I ordered the vegetable plate which was so fresh and flavorful. My friend ordered the teriyaki bowl and it was also delicious. Great for vegans and everyone else. Yum!
Unagi (eel) bowl is the best! Also would recommend the beef plate and green tea boba. Service is always great.
Jessica LokumkiattikulJuly 4, 2012Spicy tuna rice bowl was good! Although the rice/spicy tuna to salad ratio was very off. Friend got the garlic albacore salad, was delish! Boba is eh but drinks are good. Cute Japanese hippy cafe lol- The spicy salmon bowl-lito is the best! Order it with green tea.
Jason H.May 5, 2018Quirky little Japanese bakery. Don’t come here if you’re hoping for a wide variety of sushi. But all the food is good and the matcha baked goods are cool.
Try anything albacore on the menu and you won't be sorry. Spicy salmon cake is to die for! Only place I know that will put boba balls into my iced coffee. (YAY!!)
Diann KJanuary 2, 2019I really like the spicy salmon bowlito. I get it to light on the rice. Service is a little slow so be prepared
Kylie MatsumotoMarch 23, 2015I love the atmosphere of this place! Food was fresh and healthy tasting. I will def be back the next time I'm in LA.
Rupesh KumarMarch 25, 2017Food is good. Had rice and salmon based on Foursquare suggestion, it tasted good.
barbeeOctober 28, 2015Soooo good and walking distance from where I am staying. Nice courtyard to eat, outside.
Oh my goodness! This place is adorable! Amazing food, friendly staff... I could squeeze this place! The bowls & entrees are delish! Def a new fav spot!- Michael KalecOctober 24, 2017Wow. The desserts are amazing. The atmosphere and food are superb. Try the green tea ANYTHING. Really delicious.
Jennifer Paley Attorney and Legal WriterMarch 12, 2020Great food and cozy atmosphere make this place a winner for last minute local dining.
Ruth DayJuly 14, 2012I just happened to stumble upon this place and absolutely LOVED IT. I had a bowlito which was basically like a really big sushi roll with chicken instead of raw fish. it was FANTASTIC.
vincent FredNovember 22, 2016disappointed ! this place has everything to be perfect.... i took the salmon spicy bowl and ...there was just a little smashed salmon on top.... and i just had the feeling of eating a salad...
The chocolate banana boba is one of my favorite drinks here alongside the mint lemonade.
Boba happy hour 4-7pm! The iced milk tea is my fav. garlic shrimp rice bowl is really good too.
Queena DescheneDecember 17, 2013Strawberry green tea choco cookies are incredibly moist, gooey, and goooood
Shay's Dirty MindSeptember 12, 2012Try the spicy salmon bowl. Very good. Place gets busy but worth the wait.- The Udon soups are delicious! Try the hot honey soy BoBa on a cold day.
If there’s one “hidden gem” in LA, it’s Yuko Kitchen.
Ashley KatoFebruary 2, 2012Try the Garlic Albacore Rice Bowl - It was delicious.. I could eat it everyday!
Sooo tasty, soooo fresh!! Make sure you get a baby Vanilla for dessert!!- Queena DescheneSeptember 18, 2013Famous for their large brown rice bowls, hooked by the tendersweet boba
