Yeda Restaurant — Restaurant in Palmerston North

Absolutely loved our lunch at Yeda in Palmerston North! The service was 10/10 super friendly and attentive. The open kitchen was such a cool touch, it was so fun watching the chefs cook (especially when you could see the fire!).

Me and my partner ordered the crispy pork, spicy squid, duck breast, and chicken avocado sushi, and everything hit the spot. The crispy pork was nicely seasoned just a little more cooked/dry than I would’ve liked but still tasty. The sushi was delicious and perfectly done, the squid was fresh and came with a really nice sauce, and the duck was the absolute highlight! We were skeptical at first because the skin wasn’t crispy, but it ended up being amazing so tender and beautifully paired with bok choy.

There’s such a great range of options on the menu, and prices are pretty reasonable too (around $85 for everything we ordered). Definitely recommend and can’t wait...

I was in town on christmas holidays visiting family and decided after some lengthy research of local eaterys to give Yeda a try. Having eaten at a number of specilist asian cuisine restaurants across NZ, Australia and Asia itself I was a little sceptical of the quality of food, presentation and authenticity of the food on offer given their diverse range of asian cuisine from many different nations. As sometimes the quality of food can lack when dealing with multiple cultural dishes and not specializing on just one.

Having said that I was pleasantly surprised.

Food = 9 / 10 Flavour = 9 / 10 Presentation = 8 / 10 Timing of service / food = 9 /10 Atmostphere = 8 / 10 Overall Service = 9 / 10 Price point = 9 / 10

Very satisfied, I would certainly recommend. Thank you Yeda Restaurant for a pleasant dining experience. I will be back again the next time I am back in town from Perth,...

We (2) recently visited Yeda for lunch & got a few side dishes so we could have a bit of everything

The place is spacious, great for groups or just a simple lunch or dinner date

The food was nice & tasty as expected We received complimentary Miso on arrival We ordered Sweet n sour pork (changed the rice to noodles extra $3) Spring rolls, Sushi, takoyaki, teriyaki chicken w rice & My favorite out of the dishes was the Pork Gyoza

Service was fast and waitress staff was attentive however taking plates from our table while we’re still eating and could clearly see there was still food in our plates to be eaten is quite rude & a big No from me! I get it if we’d finished what we were eating, it was almost like they wanted you in & out that’s the vibe I was getting, yet the place wasn’t packed.

We will come back in future, let’s hope the waitress staff take...
