Yakinori sits on a section of the Bristol Road not noted for its culinary excellence. It’s student central; a stone’s throw from Birmingham University, where cheap beer and average Indian restaurants walk hand-in-hand together, whilst pissed-up students cavort or do whatever pissed-up students do these days. I like this part of Brum because I can come with low expectation and not go home disappointed or broke. But good food? No, that’s a myth. Or at least it was until Yakinori arrived.
Absolutely amazing food when you dine in. Delivery or takeaway can be tricky sometimes. Very friendly staffs specially Adrita and Riya. As a regular customer there we can definitely recommend this restaurant.
We were served by Narayani a she was the kindest, most helpful, funny person. She was very accommodating. The food was a 10/10, fresh, tasty, flavourful. We had the fried chicken noodles, firecracker poke bowl and a chicken poke bowl. We all LOVED. Would recommend to everyone. WOWOWOW!
Stumbled upon this place by accident and have been coming every week for the past month! Kids love the Chicken Katsu and the sushi is lovely as well! Chicken is nice and crispy and the curry sauce is very tasty. The Ramen bowls are very good and you won’t leave feeling hungry as the portion sizes are very good. You have to try the Bao buns, they are to die for! Service is friendly and fast so you won’t have to wait too long to get your food. Price is very reasonable and won’t break the bank. Keep up the good work guys!
I've been served by Lucy, who's been very professional and done her job with a smile. My experience was very good. The only little thing I'd point out was my main arrived while I was still eating my starter but that's it. Good food, good service.
Well done
The food was delicious. Sushi is a must try. Loved the duck bao buns. What made the dining experience great was the service. The staff was very friendly and polite. Big applause to Cam.
Love coming here every time I'm in Bham 🥰

Excellent customer service! I’m new to the whole boba tea experience & I found them online, seen good reviews and called them up. With my inexperience, I explained my previous boba tea purchase from a prior establishment & they knew exactly what I wanted & within 30sec, my item was ordered and ready for collection. I was able to order over the phone or order in person. A lot of places don’t allow this in case of failure to turn up. On arrival, I was greeted as soon as I walked in & they knew exactly who I was when I said ‘phone order’ & my item was ready after 5 min. Extremely pleasant, friendly & positive staff. Atmosphere is buzzing, bubbly environment & well lit and decorated store. Smells & looks great w/plenty of seating. On a main high street with parking easy, I parked outside, about 10ft down. This was at 330pm on a Wednesday during 6ks holiday half term in July. I believe there’s a couple off road spots on the right hand corner too. Tesco express and petrol station About 100ft to the left and Tesco express store 200ft to the right. Surrounded by multiple other stores such as Asian/oriental food & grocery shops, western takeaways & restaurants, a launderette, a nail salon, other supermarket & grocery stores, betting shops, coffee places, a barbers, a dentist, a surgery, a pharmacy & pubs. As it’s a studenty area being close to Bham Uni, plenty students walking around as it’s close to official & non official student accom and letting agents. Open till 9pm so you can’t get food or drink till late.
Had a wonderful time despite the rainy terrain. Riya was very friendly, going above and beyond to help us enjoy our meal. She helped us find a seat even though there was lots of bookings on the day which allowed us to munch on some delicious grub!
My family came here to try the food, which was delicious. But we were even more surprised (pleasantly) by the service! Our server which I wish I could remember his name (he had pink in his hair) was so friendly, gave recommendations when we couldn't decide and made our overall experience a great one. Plus, they offer discount for emergency workers.
This was the first time I have been to Yakinori … I must say the food was absolutely amazing ❤️… me and my friend were served by Vrids and Namwa who were so patient with me and explained the menu and also gave me recommendations on what to try 🥰 … definitely would go again!!!
