About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Fancy
Romantic

Yugen redefines dining after dark. A promise of an experience where food, drink, and music continue well into the night. A subterranean setting with a refined industrial feel, offering dishes and beverages influenced by the cultural richness of Asia. Tradition met with the intuition of a contemporary flair.

An amazing venue with a unique ambience and creative menu. The sauces were fabulous and the wine list remarkably extensive. We had the brisket for a main which was a little under par, otherwise a very special and enjoyable dining experience/ If you are looking for somewhere 'out of the ordinary' to dine, this is it!

The food was amazing. Drinks could have been better. I hope I am remembering his name correctly… Jeffery made our night memorable due to his amazing customer service and sense of humour. We visited on Wednesday night (16/4) for my birthday with some friends.
