Yuzu Bowl and Bistro — Restaurant in Kelowna

My partner and I visited yuzu for dinner on March 17th

We were seated in a booth, and I have to say this place impressed me. It was very beautiful inside, quiet and upscale atmosphere that is perfect for a date night or to chat and eat.

My partner and I shared a California roll that was very good. Good amount of soy sauce on the side as well as ginger. Overall, a very good and tasty, quality sushi roll.

For mains, we both had different rice bowls. My chili chicken bowl was SOOOOO good! The chicken was crispy and tangy, and the ratio of chicken to rice to veggies was phenomenal! I can’t rave enough about this dish. And there was more than enough for me to eat and take some home.

My partner had a teriyaki chicken bowl. It was beautifully presented and very tasty! I can’t comment on much, but by looking at it and her reaction, I can tell it was good.

We asked to see their dessert menu and decided on a bowl of green tea gelato, and as someone who doesn’t really like green tea anything, I would prefer this over most other gelato! It was creamy and smooth, not overly sweet, and had a subtle taste that was a fitting end to our dinner. Portion size was small, but between the two of us, it was enough to make us happy. Couldn’t stop ourselves from eating it before we could get some pictures!

To conclude, the staff was super friendly, and the food was some of the best in Kelowna for taste and value. We plan on going again soon, and...

Food was ok but the service was superrr slow... They took more than 20 minutes or more for this basic order and there were just 2 more tables occupied so taking about 25 mins was just too much. Ordered Gyoza, Chicken Karaage, 2 Protein sides, chicken and prawns and Miso Soup. Soup was tasty but too salty. Gyoza was stuffed less with the meat, outer coating was more which I personally don't like. Karaage was good, crispy yet soft and the sides were ok. So overall an ok experience.

Visited again: Service has improved and Mathew was friendly. Gyoza has also improved. There were no pickles with Karaage this time which was a disappointment. Brussel Sprouts were good but lacked salt. Pork bao bun was fresh and soft but had very few pickles. I tried their happy hour for the first time, maybe they skimp on somethings during Happy Hours, not sure but overall nice.

Visited again during Happy Hours and tried their Chili Tofu Bites for the first time. 2 portions of Brussel sprouts, 2 portions of Gyoza and Sapporo. I wouldn't recommend tofu as it's the soft version not the firm which I personally don't like plus the sauce served along is not a match. None of us liked however I highly recommend Gyoza, it's well made and tastes good. Brussel Sprouts are also good. Sapporo for $5 during Happy hours is a great deal. Our server Judy was also friendly. I...

Ordered takeout on a busy Saturday The wait staff were organized and timely The atmosphere was buzzing And I wished I stayed but takeout had to be it tonight I got home to enjoy my food and I was happy in general with my meal I ordered a pork belly bowl and cheesecake for the man My bowl was nicely presented, perfect poached egg which is major points there and the greens were nicely cooked. The rice was great and there were 4 pieces of pork belly in the bowl Which is extremely generous. I dare say any complaint this would satisfy most But I saw a few tiny but important details as any cheflifer like me would The pork belly although well prepared, the fat was quite off-putting, it was gobbing out of 2 pieces, and the flavor profile was just sweet, no depth or character but for 19$ it was good enough 👍 The cheesecake was a bet I should not have taken. It just seems like the wrong thing to make as a chef if it's not selling the very same day it's prepared because the sponge becomes flat and heavy whereas this type of cheesecake is a fluffy wobbly ASMR experience we all want from the dam tiktok videos ya dig? Anywho, my man didn't care it was ate and the berry compote stained his face so life is good. When everyone's having fun that's all that matters , I may be back. keep curious and enjoy making fun...
