Asian fusion with a twist

Vibrant restaurant with a unique and exciting menu. We arrived without a booking, but the friendly staff were able to accommodate us with a table for an hour.

Once seated we ordered the gochujang cauliflower, tempura broccoli and massaman curry to share.

The Gochujang cauliflower was absolutely sensational, with each mouthful a delight. Definitely a must order.

The tempura broccoli was also perfectly cooked, but neither of us were too keen on the side ingredient, whilst as flavourful as the massaman curry was, it was let down by too much oil, hence an overall 3⭐ rating.

Yugo, yu won’t be disappointed

Stylish Asian fusion restaurant attracting predominantly young crowd.
Separate vegetarian menu with almost all items vegan or able to be veganised. Efficient, friendly service. Excellent quality, dishes come out when they are ready, mostly small plates.

Pros: Separate menu, Friendly and efficient , Quality of food

Cons: Busy place, booking advisable

Excellent Asian restaurant

Would highly recommend this restaurant. The staff were really friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere and such flavoursome food. We got the massaman curry, side of green beans and the aubergine starter. The portions were a good size and the flavours of all the food were so good. Such a great find!

Pros: Friendly staff , Lots of options

Amazing experience!!!

All we have tried was different and marvellous. This is a non-conventional Asian kitchen. They have a separate vegetarian menu where all dishes can be made vegan. We ordered the roasted corn with miso and smoked almonds as small plates (starter), then fried rice with peas and a portion of tempura broccoli 🥦 as sides and the dumplings with tofu and butter squash. To drink, 2 draught lager Ichiban. The service was very friendly! All tables were booked but we could sit and eat between 6:30-8 pm, that was so kind and plenty of time for us. I recommend it to everyone when in Belfast for sure!

Pros: Tasty and really delicious food , Staff

Really nice, good quality

Chef was willing to adapt menu items and I was impressed with the quality. Nice example of "pan-Asian" drawing influences from many Asian countries.

Good for sharing

I went with a non-veggie friend but we ordered all vegan so we could share. Good variety of flavours and all dishes were tasty (even for non vegans!). Just a pity that they don’t mark vegan options on the menu and also the vegan options just removed ingredients rather than replace them. Fir example, fried rice with pork was just fried rice and it would have been good to replace the pork with something like tofu. However, it was a very enjoyable meal and nice atmosphere.

Pros: Several menu items that can be made vegan, Friendly and knowledgeable service , Nice atmosphere

Cons: Vegan options not marked on menu, Not many Asian drink options

Lots of flavour.

This excellent, Asian-fusion restaurant has a separate vegan and vegetarian menu. To start, I had the lentil dahl with cauliflower, pomegranate, apple and coconut, which was bursting with flavour. The vegan massaman curry was equally good. Lovely Thai flavours. I highly recommend this place. High-quality food and great service. They have an open kitchen so you can sit and watch the chefs prepare the food. This was my first visit and I'll certainly be back for more.

Pros: Separate vegan and vegetarian menu., Excellent food, full of flavour.

Amazing Fresh Food

A little gem of a restaurant to please everyone. A separate vegan /vegetarian menu with a good choice of starters, mains and dessert. All cooked infront of the customers. I had the vegan sushi, and vegan fried rice with teriyaki green beans. Amazing flavours with every visit, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Can't wait for our next visit!

Pros: Excellent food, Great staff, value for money

Beautiful pan-Asian food

Very small and very pretty interior. We visited for lunch and got some of the most pleasant and smiley service I've had - the staff were also very knowledgable about the separate vegan menu they provide.
The vegan options were more than just a token dish or two, and the four plates we chose were more than enough for two to share. The tofu udon was unbelievably good - deep, rich umami flavour. We were also really pleasantly surprised by the raw cabbage salad with a SE Asian dressing - fresh and crisp, sweet and spicy. So good.

Pros: A separate vegan menu, really good value at lunchtime, lovely staff

Really fine food

The staff is great and don't mind being asked a lot of questions. They have a separate vegan menu and the food was delicious! The portions are a bit on the small side so get enough small dishes if you are hungry!
