I tried their big veggie udon bowl and avocado roll and both were absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is super cozy and relaxing with all the house plants and murals surrounding you.
July 2025
Yuko Kitchen in Downtown LA is my new favorite spot for a quick, healthy meal. They serve Japanese comfort food with a modern twist, and the flavors are spot on. I tried their teriyaki chicken rice bowl, and it was amazing—tender chicken, perfectly cooked rice, and delicious vegetables. The space is small but cozy, and the staff was friendly. Definitely a hidden gem for anyone looking for a fast yet flavorful lunch!

The atmosphere is whimsical, the staff was very friendly and let us know about the cafeteria style approach. The price was well worth the amount of food we received and I wish people knew about this place more. We’ll be coming back to this location and their other location as well.
