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.

Chez Yasu is one of the top 3 fine dining restaurants in Kansas. The flavors are fresh and bring your taste buds to life! We have been a few times and they absolutely earn 5 stars and are highly recommended.

Our go to restaurant in town when we want a really special dinner. We always have great service and the food is always great. The seafood crepe is ridiculously good.
This small restaurant has the feel of a classic French Bistro. Small but complete wine list. We started with a green salad. Entrees were fresh. I had the duck, which was served with mashed potatoes and carrots. Duck was tender and moist, not dried out. Wife had fish. with same accompaniments. Again fresh and not dried out. Very good place for Topeka Kansas. Good well paced service.

Operating from probably the worst location in the city, you will be surprised at how wonderful this food is. The Salmon is fabulous, also the Chicken, and I think they have steaks too but not sure....I've never ordered beef.....I'm stuck on the salmon. The menu is rarely changed, (if it ain't broke, don't fix it !) the fresh items are always fresh and the service is great. No more pricey than other high quality places in town. And as for the location which used to be a beauty salon, at least there's adequate parking with little walking. Pull in for dinner, you'll be glad you did.

Finally decided to try this restaurant. Wish we hadn't. The food was below par for French cuisine. The wait staff was pleasant enough and the atmosphere was quaint if a bit dated. Dishes ordered: appetizers crab cake and scallops. Crab cake was ok but lacked some flavor. Scallops were very small as if they'd been halved before cooking. Decent flavor though. Main course salmon in butter sauce with mashed potatoes and candied carrots & braised beef short ribs same sides. Presentation was alright... both mashed potatoes were horribly prepared. Waitress stated the chef was new and poured the cream way too fast. Very runny and lacked any flavors I could even taste. The candied carrots were not candied just boiled with a pinch of sugar. Main dishes: salmon was cooked properly but lacked any flavor other than butter we could detect. The braised short ribs were in an overly scorched in red wine sauce that was not seasoned well. Two peices of ribs were also a bit tougher than the others. Waitress gave us a complimentary plate of shrimp and mushrooms and dessert as well trying to make up for the meal. Those were actually good. Overall I'd say new chef hasn't quite got the hang of it just yet or had a very bad night. Do not recommend personally. Bill was around $200.00.
