We had a very nice experience at JYAJ's in Watertown last night. There weren't any problems with my reservation, and the food was tasty and fresh. They listened carefully to my dietary restrictions and created a dish I could eat without worry. I would rate them outstanding on tending to food allergies (which is one of the reasons we pick this restaurant).

Great lunch. Excellent service. I had the Cobb salad and Diet Coke. The salad greens were fresh, the chicken was perfectly cooked, and the dressing was light and tasty. An overall wonderful lunch.
April 2025
Sadly this was a disappointing experience for us. We've happily dined dozens of times at NYAJ before. The music was cranked up and obnoxious with poor sound quality. The atmosphere was desultory, with all the servers looking glum and harried. We did not receive our appetizer of chicken dumplings. Our server told us “it was a mistake, and delivered to another table.” We received a replacement as a takeout. I doubt we will return here again soon.
