ordered on ubereats, nothing too special. very underwhelming. the rolls were fine, the crab rangoon filling is weird.
I ordered from UberEats and had it delivered. I was pretty disappointed.
A very unpleasant experience. The staff’s attitude left a really bad impression.

“Been coming to Yatai frequently for about two years now, and every time it meets or exceeds my expectations.”
Been coming to Yatai frequently for about two years now, and every time it meets or exceeds my expectations. Service is quick and the workers are kind and check in on you frequently to make sure you have everything you need. Prices are fair especially for the portions (rice bowls, fried rice, noodle dishes, etc). My personal favorites from the menu are the crab rangoons and the crunchy sweet potato tempura rolls! BYOB and they’ll provide glasses if you need them! Absolutely love this place, cannot recommend it enough.

“I LOVE this place.”
I LOVE this place. I graduate in 2 months and i’m going to miss this restaurant more than anything else in Chicago. My friends and I go here at least every 2 weeks and that’s under-estimating. Best Asian fusion in roger’s park by far and it’s so affordable with great portions. BYOB and they give you glasses and a bottle cooler as soon as you sit down. We have tried almost everything on their menu and my favorite items have to be the fried gyoza, edamame, chicken wings, egg rolls, and the avocado roll for appetizers and for mains I am obsessed with the chicken teriyaki rice bowl, the pad see ew, and the panag curry. They also have cute dessert teas that they offer if you come in for a birthday. Lots of people order online and do pickup - which is totally fine but if you go to dine in it’s an adorable place with beautiful ambiance and unique dishes plus amazing service!

“Lovely family owned restaurant.”
Lovely family owned restaurant. We had 4 or 5 different sushi rolls, very nice. My friend had the orange chicken and raved about how crunchy and yummy the chicken was.

“I went here recently when I was celebrating a special occasion.”
I went here recently when I was celebrating a special occasion. My friend got some Ramen and I got Orange Chicken. We shared a Crunchy Shrimp Roll and a Spicy California Roll. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted amazingly. The service was direct and wonderful but the smell of seafood was heavy. I understand since there is seafood it will smell a bit fishy but I wish it wasn’t so strong. The seats were a bit uncomfortable too. Other than that, it was good and affordable.

Love this place! Have only had takeout once before this but had dine-in tonight. Food options are plentiful— you would think that with so much variety (Korean, Japanese, Thai) something would be lacking in flavor, but we were proven wrong. Everything is delicious and for such a good price!! Also, waiters and staff are super friendly and attentive 😄 definitely will become a staple restaurant for me!

Good takeout! The poke bowl was a pretty good size. The karaage didn’t come with any sauce which was a bit of a bummer, but I added some honey and soy sauce at home. The thai iced tea was standard. I’d order again.

Solid food. Popped in here because I was craving some spring rolls and they were good. So was my pad Thai and my husband’s tempura rolls. Nice staff. Very casual spot.
