Problem: Not bad at all. The service was a bit slow. But the price was reasonable and it was BYOB. For 16$ you get soup, a spring roll and a main dish. The Won Ton soup was very tasty. I really enjoyed it. I also ordered the shrimp spring roll and it was decent. I've had better and was hoping for more dipping sauce. The main dish I chose was a chicken, shrimp and vegetable on a bed of noodles. Super tasty!!! Definitely worth it for the price you pay!!

Problem: After a day of shopping, I was starving and I wanted a variety of small bites but wasn't really feeling Spanish tapas so, we ended up here. There were plenty of tables available last night. You can sit at the bar, tables for 2, tables for 4-6 or the high community table. We chose the community table even though it was just me and my friend. Since the friend had a heavy lunch, we got a Makapuu Roll, Uni Tempura, Tensai Hamachi Shooters, 5 pc Sashimi, 808 Tapas Sliders, Pork Belly Skewers and Garlic Chicken. Tensai Hamachi Shooters: We got 2 shooters. The hamachi was fresh in a tangy ponzu sauce with white truffle oil and a thin slice of jalapeno and roe on top. Excellent layers of flavor and texture. 5/5 5pc Sashimi: You can choose from tuna, yellowtail, halibut, octopus and super white. We got tuna, salmon and yellowtail. Very fresh fish in generous cuts. 5/5 808 Tapas Sliders: 2 sliders of Wagyu beef with marinated shiitake mushrooms and Hawaiian ginger wasabi mayo served with a side of fried taro chips. They were alright. I was expecting more wasabi flavor to shine through but it didn't happen. If you've tried a burger from Jollibee, you've pretty much tried these sliders. 3/5 Uni Tempura: 3 pieces of Uni wrapped in shiso in dipped in tempura batter then deep-fried, drizzled with spicy mayo and topped with orange caviar. Comes with deep fried grape tomatoes. I like uni but I can't figure out if it was right to deep-fry it. It was tempura with just a hint of uni...it was still good. 4/5 Makapuu Roll: The menu says sauteed rock shrimp with garlic, seared USDA beef, fried onions and spicy ponzu. But they changed it. It now has soft shell crab and a different smokey tasting sauce instead of the rock shrimp and ponzu. 4/5 Garlic Chicken: This was an afterthought but ended up being one of the highlights of the meal. The chicken skin was lightly breaded. The meat was tender and juicy but fully-cooked. Fried to perfection and has good flavor. Slightly sweet but the garlic taste was faint though. Think milder version of BonChon chicken. 5/5 Pork Belly Skewers: Another afterthought but this one we probably should've skipped. I don't like the idea of a light-colored pork dish on a skewer. It lacked color and flavor. They could've rendered this a bit more. 1/5 The service was good. It was Wine Wednesday and glasses of wine are 50% off. Sadly, they didn't have the ones I like so we didn't get to partake in the wonderful that is Wine Wednesday...we ended up at a liquor store nearby.

Problem: Delicious and inventive!! Sometimes I'm wary of fusion food and "modern" cuisine when the concept compromises actual taste. Yonaka did an impeccable job of bringing new flavors to traditional Japanese foods, incorporating fresh ingredients from around the world. We tried the ten course tasting menu, ordering two sets for our table of six and were not disappointed! Each dish was impeccable in taste and presentation. The meal built perfectly, nothing was too heavy so we could enjoy every course. The flavors were all unique, with combinations like Hokkaido scallops with strawberries, black pepper, and cilantro. Who knew how delicious that could taste?!! Even the simple starter, watermelon with fish sauce and mint~ was perfect in taste and timing. The unique taste grabbed our attention and got us psyched to try whatever was coming next. There was blue fin tuna, yucca and kale chips, red radishes, grilled potatoes, delicate sauces all craftily combined for perfect bites. We had unique sashimi, flying fish included! All great. By the 8th course, we were definitely getting full. The 9th course was a dashi/rice/egg/stew kinda delicious concoction, that easily filled up anyone who was somehow still hungry. And the desserts were pieces of art (we had two different types, with many delightful combinations on each plate-- mango mousse and coconut, strawberry mint ice cream, green tea brownie, strawberry chocolate milk.... YUM). It wasn't too sweet, which our indulged bellies appreciated. The decor is simple and elegant, service was timely, friendly, and each dish was explained thoroughly (a tough task with all those ingredients and courses)! Also, the fresh ginger ale was perfect and helped me digest all the amazing food Yonaka served up!! Thanks for a memorable meal!
