This is my absolute favorite spot for group dinners. Every time I come here, I order the karaage mushrooms and cabbage. My guests are usually skeptical as to why I'm ordering vegetables when dining out as opposed to meat. But without fail, they end up loving the mushrooms the most. The cabbage is also light, refreshing, and surprisingly delicious. This is a great place for sharing, with plenty of dishes to try, and splitting the cost makes it very cheap. The sushi tacos are another highlight—I’ve tried three fish-based ones so far, and they’ve all been fantastic. I usually struggle to enjoy raw fish in New Zealand after experiencing better quality in the islands, but Bar Yoku is one of the few places I trust for consistently good seafood. I’ve never left disappointed. If you visit, definitely request a sunken table. They’re super comfortable and turn it into an experience rather than just a meal. I've come here multiple times with people who have allergies, eg. gluten, nuts, and vegan diet requirements. This has never been an issue, and the food still remains delicious! A special mention to the staff, too—every server I’ve had here knows the menu inside and out, is aware of any changes, and is always professional and friendly. They create a welcoming atmosphere with zero awkwardness or judgment, which, unfortunately, isn’t always the case at some places.

Special note for dietary requirements: the menu was extremely detailed when it came to gluten free and vegetarian options, and the staff were also very attentive to this when we ordered. There was lots to choose from for our gluten free table. The menu also said that their mayonnaise and soy sauce were all gluten free too. We ordered chicken teriyaki, tofu, rice, sushi and vegetables to share - everything was incredible. The meal cost $106- for two people but we did have an alcoholic drink each as well. Great service and atmosphere. Thank you to the staff for a great evening.

Delicious, I love this place. Soooo many gluten free things. They have amazing vege spring rolls (unfortunately not GF, but my flatmate bought and devoured 10).

Me and my partner went here and had lunch on the balcony, absolutely delicious food, albeit smaller portions - but filling. My partner is celiac, so we went for the Gluten Free options as the dishes are made to be shared. We ordered the Thai Black Beef Salad & the Chicken Skewers... no problems, chicken was cooked to perfection and the sauce was unparalleled. Beef had a little bit of gristle but overall was very tender & flavourful. Will definitely recommend & visit again.
