Yugen redefines dining after dark. A promise of an experience where food, drink, and music continue well into the night. A subterranean setting with a refined industrial feel, offering dishes and beverages influenced by the cultural richness of Asia. Tradition met with the intuition of a contemporary flair.

My new favourite Japanese restaurant I've ever been to. The ambience of Yugen just captures you the minute you walk in. And the food is ridiculously delicious! We had a lovely Japanese waitress looking after us, who was wonderful and explained everything beautifully. I think her name was Toshiko. Lovely dining experience and highly recommend. Treat yourself!

Ambience was perfect, but it wasn’t worth the money. We had the Chef Experience, but most dishes were just mediocre - some with crispy elements weren’t crispy, others were too salty - I couldn’t finish one of the dishes as it was the saltiest dish I ever had. Told the waiter about it, but the only thing I got was “I will tell the kitchen”. We also felt there should be another course or so, as we weren’t at all full at the end of all courses. Felt unfulfilled really. Staff were super friendly, but it felt like they were pushing us to finish our whole experience as they wouldn’t allow much time between courses, and the bill was taken to us shortly after desserts. It’s really unseen at other quality restaurants. The best thing of the night was the desserts, so I will definitely come back to YuGen Tea Bar for desserts, and perhaps for drinks given the great ambience, but definitely not going to come back for dinner. It’s disappointing.
