Yakitori#1’s supremely good sushi is a welcome addition to Cardiff Bay.
Next time you’re visiting, ditch the chains and check out this excellent independent.
Nice restaurant in Cardiff bay.
We had the lunch special and the quantity of food is good. Services is fast and brought the dishes on time.
Our first visit to this restaurant for my wife and I. We visited on an early Monday evening at 17:45. It was not very busy, which we like. Shown to a clean table and overall looked well maintained. The menu was in good condition and there was plenty to choose from with a few helpful pictures and the waiter was helpful. We chose a shared starter Yakitori 1 nigri special and from "The Wok page" we ordered as our mains "Cha han with duck" and "Yaki Sobi with salmon". All the food was excellent and arrived very promptly. To drink we each had a bottle of coke. The bill was £59.80. Well worth it in our opinion and we would go again.
Our favourite restaurant in Cardiff. The food is absolutely delicious and the staff is very friendly and attentive. We’ve been to Yakitori1 so many times over the years and whenever we have family and friends over we tend to take them here. Absolutely obsessed with their Ramen and to be honest pretty much everything they serve.
Without a doubt my favorite restaurant in the Bay (aside from Greggs). Always bet on Yakitori to have good quality food. Recommend Stir fry and curries than the Ramen. Too bad they don't have pork options/broth for Ramen, would've been perfect.
It was a lovely place to go for some Japanese food. The place is clean and tidy and well presented. The staff were always available to help and advise on the food on the menu. The service was very good and the food came out fresh and quickly cooked. For me personally, I think the noodles dish was a little me small as opposed to the rice dish, which was a very good size. The quality of all the food we had was really good and we would highly recommend it. It is a little bit like wagamammas, but with more quality. The staff were great, and we would go back again to try different dishes.
We had a lovely meal last night at Yakitori. The food was delicious, the service were great. We will definitely be back!
Amazing food. Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Staff were friendly and the service was perfect. Atmosphere was very chill. Very good prices as well.

We stopped by this place for a quick dinner. Plenty of available tables for us to choose from when we got there. Food was OK, my favourite being the chicken katsu curry. Nice curry with juicy chicken cutlet. I also liked the salad with sesame dressing that came with it. Ramen was a bit unorthodox, but still good. The maki, however, was disappointing. For the price, I expected better. Very thin slices of fish and it could have been rolled a bit better. Overall I think it may be be better to go for the non-ramen hot food selection. Not bad, but a bit pricey.
My husband and I have been going here since 2016 and the food and service never disappoints. The staff are just lovely and the atmosphere is always very inviting, you can even see the kitchen as the food is being prepared!
Over the years I've brought many friends here for days out or special occasions and not even one friend has had any complaints.
We always look forward to our next visit! And thanks for bringing back the Summer Lovin' maki roll, it was my favourite 🥰
I came in today (5th of may) with my sibling and their partner. We had tempura, ramen, sushi and desserts which were all delicious! The food and drinks arrived very promptly and were fresh and tasty, and we will definitely be back for more!
Came in for our last evening in Cardiff.
We had a main each and some sushi and gyoza on the side to share.
The food was absolutely delicious! The ramen broth was so flavourful and fresh, and the sushi was possibly the best I’ve had anywhere.
Would 100% recommend coming to try this place, the service and attention to detail is brilliant. The story behind the restaurant is also really lovely - had a look on their website and it definitely was a deciding factor in us dining there.
Nice atmosphere inside, tables are spaced out for small groups around the walls of the building, with a long table in the middle for bigger groups. Service was great as food came out fast, fresh and hot.
Food quality was excellent, sushi and hot dishes were very tasty and well presented. Reasonably priced too.
Very happy with the service and quality of food here and would come back again!
Beautiful food, lovely service, really nice place
Great spot for some freshly cooked Jananese food in the Bay. Plenty of options to choose from (Sushi, Curries & Noodles). The food was really tasty, good portion sizes all reasonably priced. They do a lunch special for (£9.95) and also have a lovalty card with free options so worth it if you plan on returning. Staff are friendly, very nice place.
Really nice Japanese restaurant in Cardiff bay. Food was really great.
Relaxed atmosphere, with good unhurried service and great food.

Nice place to stop for lunch. Ordered a sushi roll from the £10.95 lunch special which was a decent portion and tasted great. The yuzu mitzu drink (not included in the lunch deal) was sweet and refreshing, and the wasabi was a good amount of spicy but not too overpowering. Wait time was quite quick as it wasn’t too busy when we went. Atmosphere was relaxed and the staff were polite. Was an especially hot day so could have done with some air conditioning but overall had a good experience.
