| - As a previous reviewer has stated, this location used to house the Garden restaurant which had to close its doors due to unfortunate circumstances. The management have now renovated it and turned it into Yutaka Japanese Cuisine. I went here last week and it's disappointingly mediocre.
I will start off by saying that the food itself tastes good (nothing special though), but is incredibly overpriced in terms of both quantity and quality. The same quality of food can be had at kyoto for much less money, and Japango serves much better food at the same price as Yutaka.
A large number of items on the menu (around 5) that I wanted were also "unavailable" when I went last week, which was irritating. In terms of the items that I did manage to order such as the fried shrimp, oysters, grilled chicken, sashimi and rolls all tasted good, but as I stated earlier, were nothing special and overpriced for the quality and quantity of food.
And now comes the worst part of the service. My friend and I had ordered a grilled yellowtail head which took almost 30-40 minutes to arrive. And when it finally did, the entire interior of the fish was completely RAW! Now I understand that everyone makes mistakes, but considering how long it took them to prepare the dish and how expensive the menu is, this mistake was simply unacceptable.
We informed the waitress of the error so she took it back to the chef. At this point, we didn't even ask for compensation because of the sheer disappointment in the place. We just wanted to get it over with. At the price of this place, I somewhat expected the chef to prepare an entirely new yellowtail head as compensation, but disappointment again. He simply chopped our half picked apart fish into smaller pieces and re-grilled it; the end result being a somewhat burned exterior, but cooked interior.
The waitress offered us free ice cream as compensation afterwards which was nice, but it didn't wipe away my disappointment.
The only positive thing I can say about this place is the very nice and spacious interior, and the pleasant waitresses.
In conclusion, I'm very disappointed in this place. A grand opening should show the best that the restaurant has to offer, but I got overpriced, mediocre food at best. It is a real shame, because they have a great location and a really nice interior. But I simply can't recommend Yutaka Japanese Cuisine in its current guise to anyone considering the large number of better Japanese restaurants in the same area. I sincerely hope that they can improve in the future.
