    AMAZING. A rare combination of a place that seemed like a semi-casual neighborhood gem and also super special. The food was amazing - authentic with a touch of wow. We had eggplant, chicken, and mushroom/sausage pasta. Everything was amazing - including the lovely sac with warm focaccia that arrives first with an herby pesto dipping olive oil. It was very busy, but the service was wonderful - friendly and welcoming, check this place out!

    Simply put, one of the best meals I have had the privilege of enjoying! Delightful server, Calvin, was very in tune with the timing of our meal and our needs. The fixed menu was perfect for Christmas Eve, as it kept the meal flowing and decision-making to a minimum. Every course was delectable from the scallop crudo, the creamed mushrooms, and the sea bass, to the date cake with walnut ice cream! Mezcal hibiscus cocktail was creative and tasty, as well! I will definitely be back!

    Funny, but I couldn’t find the front door.🤣 The restaurant layout was interesting. The decor was nice and bright. We sat at the bar but I would choose a table next time. We were impressed with almost all of the dishes we ordered~ especially the vegan gyoza and bao. Wow! I’m craving both of them. Looking forward to my next visit to Yasai!
