02/20/2026 Still good food! Still hate having to self-buss and being asked to tip cashier for it. —————- Good food, refreshing, light, and felt healthy to consume. I just don’t understand the point of assigning a table number and still having the customer serve and buss their own food.
Just have a takeout counter and call out numbers? Heard the waitresses be snarky with first-timers who didn’t know better.
This is a more intuitive dining experience than hearing a snarky “you can pick it up yourself here” after every confused customer.

A hidden gem in DTLA. I came to Yuko Kitchen on a whim and was so impressed. The sushi was fresh, the ramen was comforting, and the overall experience was delightful. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the restaurant had a great vibe. Definitely planning to return soon!

If I could give this place 6 stars for atmosphere I would. The food is amazing . Building is full of plants and up cycled stuff. Everything here is amazing.

Parking can feel a little questionable, but it’s a very lush little eatery with fresh food, worth checking out if you’re in the area

I loved this place so much. I was visiting from Miami and the vibe was so fresh, deeply appreciated it. The food was amazing: on the cheeper side, but extremely tasty and the portions were huge. It is worth the visit simply for the atmosphere, but when you add good food and friendly service it makes it impossible to skip.

Incredibly warm and inviting space filled with plants. The staff are kind and my food was ready in no time. Huge portions for a very reasonable price. Love this place!
Finally got a chance to come to this location. I mostly go to the one in Miracle Mile location. Place was busy for lunch. Atmosphere was fine but not as good as the other location. Service was fine too and the salad 🥗 was still good but it was too much for me 🤭👍🏻 the place was quite not too noisy. Reasonable prices 👍🏻the only thing was parking was tough Other than that, I like their food 👍🏻

This is a very cute spot. Tons of plants, nice natural light, clean. The people working there are very friendly and professional, and set a great tone for a chill ambiance.
However, I did not like the food. I also t Don’t think we ordered anything that truly would have shown us the best they have to offer. We got the kabocha squash, which while nice because it’s just good squash straight up roasted, it came with tough chucks of ginger that were not good to eat. We also ordered the pickles—the veggies that were pickled were good, but the cucumbers weren’t pickled, why? We also ordered the nachos because we saw other diners eating the nachos and they looked good! They tasted so-so, à very strange mix of raw and cooked elements. I had indigestion all night and into the next day. We didn’t try the coffee or tea, so I can’t speak to that. But we got two cookies: the basic chocolate chip was terrible in flavor and consistency - I only had a couple of bites, and for me says a lot that I didn’t bother to eat the whole thing. The other cookie was a vegan yam mochi— neither of us could really chew it. Flavor was ok. But overall, not worth eating.
However, the ambiance here is great. They obviously have loyal customers coming in for an early dinner and loving it. So, it’s probably good if you get tipped off on what to order.

Would come visit this place again and again. Delicious food, wonderful and friendly service, prices are EXTREMELY reasonable.... And the PLANTS! 🥰 they're literally everywhere you look, it's so beautiful. The air heat feels clean and nice. The drinks are cheap during happy hour. Highly recommend.
