Yuu Kitchen

Top choice in Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spitalfields


Manga images pout on the walls and birdcages dangle from the ceiling at this fun, relaxed place. Dishes are either bite-sized or designed to be shared, and while the focus is mainly Asian, some dishes from further along the Pacific Rim pop up, too. Hence Filipino lechon kawali (slow-braised pork belly) sits alongside Vietnamese rolls and show-stopping bao (Taiwanese steamed buns).
