It's really awful!! Don't come here!!! The beef hot pot had only three pieces of meat on top, and they were really tough 😱😱. The bean sprouts took almost half an hour to cook properly. Plus, we waited an hour for the soup, and it arrived cold 🙄. Not coming back again. The noodles were okay, but definitely not worth coming here for.
Lunch on a weekend - no queue
Very good authentic Korean food! Ordered spicy pork tofu, stew spicy pork, pork fried rice and spicy pork bibimbab - all good and tasty. Also bubbly hot when served. Super comfort food in winter.
Can sit out door with a view as well

Had a blast. Catered to our needs. And services were excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful as well.
Great spot for a day out. Was a tad anxious when I first booked Yoko after reading others reviews. But if you're happy to spend money on good food, good service and a beautiful location, this is your place. We decided to go with the al la carte menu, best decision ever. Choosing foods we enjoyed. The grilled prawns and wagyu kushiyaki is a must try. And the staff are very attentive and welcoming.
Thank you for the amazing experience

Great atmosphere, beautiful food and drinks and outstanding service, made us feel right at home and like we were already friends which I always appreciate!
Sat at the bar which was comfortable and still intimate enough.
Fab river views and top location for further adventures into the night…
Keep it up! 👍

A great spot for a late night meal! Place opens til late and serves a good variety of Korean stews and Korean favourites. The tofu soft stews and Kimchi stews are particular good! Served in the traditional Korean Clay bowl, the bowl retains the heat well even as you finish up the food! Soups are excellent and flavourful and they are generous with the meat and portions!
Sashimi was below expectations. Other dishes went okay. The place was really crowded during the weekend and the hostess was a bit mean to everyone who did not have a reservation. We did not have a reservation :-(.
The servers were well trained and the vibe is nice. Everyone seemed to enjoy the sunny day, good food and good companies.

We had a beautiful lunch here.
Eggplant sticks: eggplant was soft and the batter was very crispy.
Tuna rice crisps: great texture - had a beautiful bite to it.
Kingfish goma: exquisite and favourite of the day! The fish was fresh and the sesame sauce with chilli oil was smooth and full of flavour.
Grilled prawns: nicely cooked, flavours weren't as pronounced as I would've liked.
Chicken karaage with mango hot sauce: the batter was crunchy and seasoned well. Wish the sauce was hotter!
Hibachi chicken with red pepper and torikawa: most of the meat was tender with some bits slightly dry. The sauce had great flavour.
Orange and lemon myrtle sorbet: fragrant and not too sweet.
Fried bread with Yuzu curd: super delicious! Great texture and flavours.
Mochi: the texture of the mochi was perfect - thin and soft with a bit of a bite.

Me and my sister went for lunch on Easter Monday with my 2 kids. We had great time there. Kids enjoy food, special and delicious, especially spicy pork udon, its kids acceptable. Me and my sister has enjoy special Sake set, it’s lovely. Staff are very friendly and respond our request very quick.
Always a safe place to eat and come back to if you don't know where to eat! This place has tons of korean food options and new meals to try out so always come back and check what else they have 🥰 i would say some of the soup/hotpot tastes might miss the mark sometimes and varies however, their rice bowls, cheese corn, chicken and noodles are some of my favourites! 🍗🧀🌽🍚🍢 Their service is decent and the vibes always give a nice late vibe chill 🌃✨🌙🍻
Took part in the "Buns and Bubbles" lunch on Saturday. For two hours, we enjoyed bottomless wines and an incredible banquet menu. Staff were attentive and friendly. Food was 10/10. We grabbed a few desserts on top of the banquet but definitely didn't need to as we were filled right up. I'd say best value for money bottomless lunch I've been to.
Yoko Dining in Brisbane impressed with its contemporary Japanese cuisine. The dishes were artfully crafted. The service was attentive, and the staff was knowledgeable about the menu. The river and Story Bridge view added to the overall charm.
Yoko gave us a fantastic culinary experience and service excellence. I couldn't, for the life of me, remember my server's name, but she deserves a raise. She was very attentive. And, knowing from the notes we sent, we were from hospo and celebrating a belated Valentine's date, she was incredibly casual with us, and we were really comfortable with her. The food was fantastic, but desserts weren't our favourite as we weren't big on desserts, and the steak was alright, but we're just too used to MB9+ wagyu, so MB7 is a bit underwhelming. But everything else was perfect, and I can't wait to go back!
Nice service here, music all about Dpr and Dean 🎀☺️ really love the pork tomatoes so juicy~~~~~~better than ever.
This place was delicious and open until midnight. Yakitori was my favourite
Located in the CBD area. Parking is extremely hard in the area. So you either walk some distance or pay the parking in the mall.
The food is not bad. Serving time wasn't that long although it is pretty full when I was there.
It is advice that you book the table in advance before going as it can be very busy during dinner time. And we went on Wednesday.
Environment wasn't that bad.
Service need to be improved a little bit more as when it gets busy the staff gets annoyed. So yeah, there are room to improve.
Overall it wasn't that bad, but still...

Food was generally good.
Wagyu steak don was not enough salty for me. Cheese sticks was great 🥰. Friend chicken and ramen are good.
Service was fast and friendly staff

The establishment is housed in a charming, older building and maintains a quite atmosphere. The staff members are notably courteous. Our order included spicy noodles, boneless chicken, and pork ribs, all reasonably priced. While the food was satisfactory, I particularly recommend trying the boneless chicken, which boasts good flavor.
Located right in the city, Elizabeth Street. We went around 8pm on Friday night, We didn't make any reservations but we managed to get a table without any waiting.
The waiting time is kind of long tho even for a draught beer tho. The food I can understand but for a beer.. maybe its a busy night for them
The food is not bad tho. And when you order a beer you will have a free skewer there. It's a good combo
Have some leftover food and decided to take away but they charge for the take away box which is new to me, as I have never seen a restaurant charge for the box so far.
Overall it's just okay, it's not too bad

We really liked the food and the service was excellent. Our table was a bit small for a group of 6 but apart from that everything was great. I recommend the place. Especially when going out to eat late.
The Japanese izakaya was nice. Great food and beer, atmosphere was very chilling, recommend the wagyu don!
The staff who greeted us had a great lively energy, which was incredibly pleasant to walk in to and appreciated a lot! Set the tone for the night. We were seated and served quickly, and the food was absolutely delicious. In particular, I think the sake nigiri gave me a religious experience. As a rule, I usually despise wasabi, but the fresh wasabi I was given had a pleasant taste and I found myself eating it with both pieces of sushi (a first for me)! The salmon and rice were fresh and flavourful. The ramen was filling and surprisingly spicy, definitely a vibe in the winter. Also, the strawberry beer came with a real hunk of strawberry and is a strong contender for my new favourite drink. All in all, a very good eat, highly recommend. Thanks to the kind wait-staff and chefs!
Easy booking via phone. We were seated very promptly on arrival. Food came out really quickly too. Was looking for a non-blow torch yakitori and the yakitori here were chargrilled which were exactly what we wanted. The char siu in the ramen were so soft, tender and juicy. Happy that we came to this restaurant. Two thumbs up!
Awesome ambience and food is good. Their super hi tech order process through QR is really confusing really negative part is you Can’t make a table order with pay at counter option. It should be full order and directly pay through Card and it have almost 4-5% service Charge too. Which I found is high.
Food and ambience was really good. Quality is good for Kids Menu too.
