Yuzu Dining Bar

This Japanese yakitori place is absolutely delicious. The chicken liver is a must-order — incredibly juicy, not gamey at all, not dry, perfectly seasoned, and honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Every skewer is made with real care, and you can tell the chef puts a lot of heart into each dish. What surprised me most was the subtle smoky flavor in the yakitori — it adds so much depth and makes everything even more addictive. I genuinely loved it and wished I could come here every day. They have a good selection of drinks, but if you don’t drink alcohol, it’s totally fine to just enjoy a soda here. The service is excellent — friendly, attentive, and relaxed. The interior has a strong Japanese illustrated style, warm and atmospheric, yet it also carries that unique Amsterdam vibe. It feels cozy, intimate, and very special. One thing to note: if you make a reservation, they charge a €30 deposit, which will be deducted from your final bill — totally reasonable. Highly recommended. Amazing food, great service, and yes I will come back

Had a nice evening. We decided to do the chefs recomendations/choices, so we got several dishes. My personal favourite were the chicken tail skewers,the lettuce dish and the corn tempura. The umeshu (plum liqueur) was also amazing.

We literally ordered every part of the chicken and everything including fish and vegetable dishes was cooked to perfection. The minced meat, wings and the fish were my favorites. We also loved the mochi and cheesecake. The waiter was very friendly and recommended us a very delicious sake. I’m deducting 1 star because after spending 100s of euros, I don’t want to pay for water.

Amazing experience! Food was great, cocktails were nice and the service was also good! However it took a while for each dish to come, so you might need to be a bit more patient and a bit less hangry

Refreshing vibes, unique flavours & next-level cocktails! ✨ I went to Yuzu with some friends, and I’d never been to a yakitori place before. What’s really cool is that the staff actually explain how everything works, so you can see how much love and care goes into each dish. It’s such a different vibe from most restaurants in Amsterdam, it honestly feels like a breath of fresh air! The dishes are amazing and the portions are just perfect, so you have to come back for a second round (I literally can never choose!). And the cocktails are next level too! They even made an Asian-style spicy margarita for my friend, but you should definitely try the Basil Smash and the Kohi Martini. This is honestly one of my favourite restaurants, with the most passionate staff ever. Love the vibe!❤️

I recently visited Yuzu Dining Bar in Amsterdam and while the food was genuinely great—flavors were well-balanced, creative, and beautifully presented—the service left much to be desired. Staff felt somewhat disengaged, and the overall experience lacked the warmth and attentiveness you’d expect from a place with such promising cuisine. The contrast between the quality of the food and the so-so service was disappointing enough that I don’t see myself returning.

This place is amazing, I immediately felt welcomed and appreciated! We got a delicious mocktail served with juicy oysters, after they served us warm, fresh share dinning dishes and each one was so delicious. Definitely going for another visit soon!

Came to review Yuzu for work during my last night of my work trip. I definitely saved the best restaurant for last. The staff were impeccable, the food came out very quickly. They were super friendly. There’s a $15 reservation fee but it’s worth it. A great date night spot but also is great if you’re solo traveling and want to get a chef counter experience Kebi suggested the Kaffir Sour 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Highly recommend Can’t Rave about this place enough. Shoutout to Jim, Sofia, Rosha & Kebi
