Review of Yamayu Santatsu
J Smith
Authentic Japanese cuisine in Luxembourg. We selected the bento box, which featured an opening course of miso, followed by crispy meat, a variety of vegetables, and a salad, before moving onto sushi and concluding with mochi for the dessert. The quality of the food was commendable, although not exceptional considering the cost. We specifically relished the deep-fried asparagus and meat. The customer service was satisfactory. The cook was not particularly amicable and there were two apprentices who seemed confused when we communicated our order. On the other hand, there was a more seasoned young woman who was incredibly gracious, warm, and accommodating. The eatery is on the smaller side with closely packed seating. The interior of the restaurant exudes genuine authenticity. It might prove challenging to secure a reservation for a large party. A delightful experience of Japanese cuisine in Luxembourg. We opted for the bento box which comprised an initial course of miso soup, followed by pan-fried meat, assorted vegetables, and a salad, subsequently we were served sushi and ended with mochi as the dessert. The food was fairly good, although not remarkable for the price. We particularly savored the pan-fried asparagus and meat. The service was adequate. The chef was not overly friendly and there were two trainees who appeared bewildered when we told them our order. However, there was a more experienced young lady who was extremely kind, endearing, and helpful. The restaurant is quite compact and seating is closely arranged. The interior of the restaurant has an authentic feel. It might be difficult to secure a booking for a large group of people.
