First time to eat here. Bagett was insanely good! Dover sole was good but very disappointed with the beef medallions, which should not have been served. They were full of gristle and a very low quality cut of meat. I simply couldn't believe a chef would have served that poor of quality. Mashed potatoes were good and good selection of wine. We would try it again but check for meat quality and send it back.

Great food and a nice atmosphere. You can carry on a conversation. We love it. Have been multiple times.

The duck was absolutley delicious. Bread was amazing. The new apple tart dessert was the perfect dessert to top off a great first experience. We'll be back to try the filet.

All I can is it was awesome food, awesome table service, attentive but not hovering, they atmosphere was great, we got to watch a thunderstorm while we were eating. A bit, pricey, but it's definitely worth every penny for the cost and tip for our server. We did dine in, did not have reservations but we just missed the rush and got seated immediately.

I love the filet served here, but since the exit of the original chef, the quality of food is really no better than a buffet. The carrots served are disgusting "baby" carrots that we all should know by now are actually pieces of carrots that cannot be bagged as whole and are mass marketed, often sitting in bins that are rampant with mold. They are washed and repackaged, but you cannot wash away the mold taste the sophisticated palette will always pick up on. Sad they don't purchase organic carrots and simply steam to al dente, which is quite pleasant and filled with flavor. The super sugary flavor is disgusting, maple or not, it cannot hide the mold flavor.If you are going to serve baby carrots, make them real baby carrots. At the prices charged, they should be. You cannot elevate subpar ingredients. It is so sad that their deserts are now pre-packed, thawed confections. The menu has only changed for the worse, getting pared down due to the loss of the chef. No chef works here now and the menu is old and tired. Considering they rarely have more than two tables in the restaurant at a time, the time it took to get our meal was ridiculous. Good thing we had nothing to do after dinner. It is so disappointing to see this once model of fine dining deteriorate and become another meh in this food desert we call Topeka. Watching the slow death of Chez Yasu is both painful and avoidable, but the owner is more concerned about his law career. I ask myself why he even keeps it open if he is going run it into the ground. He could hire another qualified chef, but cheap is cheap. Very sad.

The food and service are always spectacular! From the delicious escargot and shrimp appetizers to the scrumptious chocolate cake, the dinner was exceptional!
Wheelchair accessibility: They set things up so it is very accessible.
Mako Ueno’s Chez Yasu may be relied upon to serve beautifully prepared French bistro fare. We were so excited to discover Chez Yasu in our neighborhood when we moved to Topeka. Both the quality and quantity certainly justify the cost. I always order the salmon which is amazingly fresh & perfectly prepared. Service is unobtrusive yet never leaves one wondering about the next course.
