Yugen redefines dining after dark. A promise of an experience where food, drink, and music continue well into the night. A subterranean setting with a refined industrial feel, offering dishes and beverages influenced by the cultural richness of Asia. Tradition met with the intuition of a contemporary flair.

My second time returning as we loved it so much the first time. However, even with a wide selection of items from the a la carte menu, a lot of them were surprisingly spicy (and we aren't afraid of spice). Also, recommend you don't book an early sitting as the courses come out fast and throughout our sitting we had multiple waiters urge us on to order drinks, then food, then when we asked for the food to be slowed down, then dessert etc. The restaurant itself is stunning and a beautiful shift from the usual.
