YokaTomo

The incompetence of the cook ruined our night and the ridiculous service approach made it worse. Beer + menu €51,50 per person We told the waitresses and the cook that we didn’t like the miso soup and the second course and they didn’t reply to us. The first course was a tiny plate of different vegetables, then we had a tasteless soup with one shrimp that was too hot to be served and we waited in front of it for 15minutes at least (we told the cook that it was tasteless, he didn’t even look at us), then we had fried salmon with one slice of fried eggplant and cabbage and seaweed salad, then a super salty miso soup was served (why after 3 dishes? Not Japanese style at all) and we couldn’t eat it (we told the waitress it was too salty, she didn’t reply and took the soups away), then we had fried chicken with curry sauce and overcooked rice. Japanese standards are different. They should have at least a Japanese chef if they want to call themselves Japanese izakaya.

My second time having dinner there. I would totally recommend if you like Japanese food that is far away from your usual Japanese restaurant. We took the 4 service menu and enjoyed each of our dishes. Note that you shouldn’t arrive there starving, it’s tasty with small portions.

Good but room for improvement. The service was great and the courses were served at a good pace. The food on the other hand - while not bad, leaves room for improvement. Some soundproofing to reduce the noise level would also be welcome.

Discovered this Izakaya place in Schaerbeek on the Michelin Guide and it was a good find! Their €45 menu with 5 dishes is well worth it and you will leave this place satisfied. The staff are also welcoming and they explain what is in each dish. Downside is that the place is tiny so with full tables, it can feel crowded and your chair will get bumped quite a lot if you are sitting at the comptoir. But other than that, highly recommend and would come back again!

We were a group of 5 so they gave us a little private room in the back that we loved! We took the big menu which was a good amount of food and very nice dishes. In general I think the food was good but had that missing punch, like the last big meal... but still I recommend. remember they don't have dessert im case you like to have it. The wine and sake were Great

Traditional Japanese cuisine super delicious with good service.They provide great beer and meal. 🤤Reasonable price. I’d like to go every week. 🥰 Love it.

I got the 4 services menu + the gyozas. The place is not about quantity but quality and flavours! Highly recommended! The restaurant is small and cozy, so you'll need to book a table in advance.

What a special place this was! Highly recommend YokaTomo, for gray evening with great food and atmosphere. The restaurant is relatively small, but super cozy, worth booking in advance. Offers set menu of ever-changing dishes. We’ve sat the counter, with front row view of chef’s magic in the kitchen. Each dish carefully prepared and explained in front of you by the chef or the waiter. It was a beautiful journey of flavours. We really enjoyed every dish, as well same to go with it. Look forward to returning again and exploring new dishes.
