text: Yes for Yonaka This place is awesome as other Yelpers have already said It was a Friday Night First with Mel C and Chad S we knew we had to see what all the fuss was about especially after Duchess Christina W and Duke Arvin C told us that they love it here nnDecor Modern Japanese just like the name of the restaurant Beautiful wood accents simple and clean I liked that the tables had a hideaway for the menuscoolnnService Topnotch and attentive From the time we arrived to the time we left the Yonaka staff were so personable Ashley and Michael waited on us and we met Jax and Tiffany who I am guessing are managers Jax came to our table and we namedropped Christina and Arvin and that did the trickhah Seriously the staff always checked on us cleared empty plates often and refilled our glasses promptly Little things like bringing us hot towels at the beginning of the meal to wipe our hands to a couple of complimentary food items were nice touchesnnFood Delicious and artisticthe presentation of all the dishes was fabulous nnWe started with the Crispy Brussel Sprouts since that was recommended in almost all the previous reviewswho knew they could taste so good I loved the sauce and the crispy ricennMiso soup Nice and light but I could have used a bit more saltnnGrilled edamame Never had it grilled before so it was different to have it warm but I liked it They also had a nice little kick to them with the seasoning usednnSea Scallops on Hot Stone A tray of sea scallops was brought to the table along with a hot stone to cook them on The scallops kind of stuck to the stone at the beginning so Chad and Mel just watched me try to finagle the scallops with my chopsticks Maybe the stone needs a little oil or something like that However they were still good I needed a second stone because the first one got cold cold stone get it before I could finish cooking all of the scallopsthere were quite a fewnnShrimp Tempura hand roll This dish and the Brussel sprouts were on the happy hour menu I have had shrimp tempura rolls lots of times but this was probably the best I have ever had nnMel and Chad had some great looking fish dishes but I cannot comment on those since I cannot eat fish just shellfish nnOverall this was a lovely meal in an equally lovely atmosphere For a Friday night it was pretty empty but hopefully word will get out and others will find out how good it is because a business like this needs to stick around Try it you will like it
