Incredibly charming atmosphere with friendly service!
Whilst hunting for a local place to get Japanese food, Yoko stood out immediately. With a traditional per-dish menu on the establishment's front, it was easy to determine whether or not they served what I wanted. There's also very helpful information immediately available before you enter, just incase you did not know what to expect from certain dishes, which makes everything so much more accessible to someone who might want to try something new.
On entering Yoko, I was greeted by an incredibly polite and friendly owner. It was quick and easy to order and pay for my dish, as I'd already chosen. The katsu was fried at the front of the store, where you can hear and smell it. This only added to the anticipation, while also ensuring that this food was fresh! The dish was carefully presented to me, as if it were treasure to be enjoyed.
The katsu chicken and the rice itself was perfect. The curry sauce was as expected, chicken was tender with crispy coating, and the rice was not overdone. I cannot be certain, but I believe the vegetables may have been of the frozen variety, reheated and added to the curry.

If you don't mind frozen vegetables then this will not be a problem for you at all! I also feel like this is reflected in the price, as you receive a large serving for not a lot of money.
I will definitely visit again, and when I do I'll pick something different from the...

Read moreThis little restaurant gets lots of good reviews. I enjoyed my visit there however my subjective feeling about this place rates a little lower than many others. The Chicken Katsu Ramen with Prawn Tempura was good and serving quite enormous. I am not an expert on ramen so I do not know quite know what was missing. I will go back and try again to be fair. I went for an early dinner - the only customer. The atmosphere inside is rather uninviting however concentrate on the food and you will enjoy it. It would not take much to decorate a little. The gentlemen behind the counter was polite and gave quick service. I thought the price was fine for the large serving - no complaints there. I forgot to take a photograph however one of the recent reviews has a pic of...
