Yuko Kitchen Miracle Mile

Chicken Teriyaki rice bowl INSANE Very cozy please to have a great lunch Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Indoor seating and outdoor

I am so disappointed in everything I ordered from here, and based on the price I wish I had gone elsewhere. My total was close to $40. It's a super small place, but cute for a lunch stop. Anyway, it took a long time for my food considering I was the only one in there. I ordered the garlic shrimp bowl, fried broccoli, green tea strawberry chocolate chip cookie, and the green tea marshmallow brownie. I didn't like any of it. The bowl was full of rice, the shrimp were not seasoned, the broccoli was not fried all the way so it was so much batter inside, the cookie was hard AF, and the brownie made no sense with sesame seeds on top!! I trashed all of it.

Yuko kitchen miracle mile is hands down the best neighborhood spot on Wilshire. If you don't live around here, it's worth a trip. The little restaurant packs some indoor and outdoor seating and delivers food to your table after you order at the counter. Don't forget to check out the cookie selection because they're literally all amazing. They have (cookie and menu) options for people with food allergies and sensitivities. Flourless chocolate, GF cookies, vegan cookies, blondies.. all amazing. The service is great, super kind and really efficient. I usually order take away over the phone and it's ready in 15 -20 minutes. I've never encountered any staff member there that wasn't polite and welcoming. The food is incredible. The ingredients always taste fresh & it's on the healthier side. Portion sizes are filling - if you're an average eater you could probably get 2 meals out of a single entree. Or scarf it all down in 1 meal- no judgement! It's really that good. The bowl-litos are like sushi burritos wrapped in seaweed. Almost like an XL hand roll. Highly recommend the spicy salmon bowl-lito. The hot udon noodle soups are incredible. The tofu & cabbage is awesome. Broth 10/10. The rice bowls and special plates are actually giant and so delicious. Grab an extra side of sauce if you like every bite coated in even more tasty-ness. This joint is an absolute banger. Treat yourself and order literally anything.

The salmon bake was surprising really yummy. The bowls are quite substantial. Not enough seating area poses problems and gotta look for parking on the street. But otherwise a nice little neighborhood joint to meet up with a friend.

Super fun spot that's perfect for your next adventure. Amazing fusion food and ambience. Highlights:- INCREDIBLE vibes. So interesting, so much character and personality. I would come here just to hangout inside/outside- food was Great. Huge menu with lots of options- self service was done really well. Free water + napkins, utensils. Very laid back, casual experience- decent parking (street + lot)Lowlights- while the bowlito was delicious, it kept falling apart! I mean it dissolves in your hands. I ended up eating it with a fork rather than with my hands- there's enough seating but during peak hours I imagine it's rough finding a seatDefinitely coming back to this gem and sharing the good word. Lovely space with interesting/great food

Cute spot for quick, casual dining. They have good selection of simple yet healthier options with delicious asian flavors. My go to is the chicken plate which comes with rice, salad, 4pc spicy tuna rolls, mini soup, and dessert. I recently tried the spicy tuna bowl which was tasty as well. The portions are substantial and perfect for my appetite. The interior/exterior has a quirky and cozy ambience. The space and seating is a bit limited but the turnaround time is pretty quick. Worth a try if you're in the area.

We called ahead for a party of 9 but they don't take reservations. ENTRANCE - the place is really a take out place more so than a typical sit down restaurant. There are like 5 tables inside but outdoor seating wrapped around the corner location. DECOR - some decorative trappings outside with a real Greenwich Village feel (that's an area in Manhattan)The inside is not spectacular, like a traditional take out placeSERVICE - none to speak of. You have to order your items and take a number. They call you to pick it up. CLEAN UP - everything is self service here as well. You have to bus your own table and pack any leftovers yourselfMENU - they have categories with a few selections within each. For sushi they need more options for sure. FOOD - a mixed bag, the spicy tuna roll was disappointing, mostly the rice was mushy. The salads are big but mostly lettuce and a few slices of very thin fish. PRICE - fairly average overall but considering self service they are high

Freakin delicious - if you want a FRESH meal - this is the spot. The Chicken plate comes with a variety including a little dessert. Been here multiple times over the years and always very satisfied.

Date of visit: 8/23/24First time. We got garlic shrimp and chicken teriyaki and both were amazing! I wish they'd put more shrimps as they're pretty small in size. The chicken teriyaki is not your everyday chicken teriyaki but it tasted so good! Will def come back and try other stuff!

Yuko Kitchen was recommended by my cousin who lives here. She says this is a favorite locals' spot. The restaurant is very charming and hidden in a corner by Wilshire and Dunsmuir. It's funny how the address says Wilshire Blvd but the restaurant itself is actually located on S. Dunsmuir Ave. It's hard to miss Yuko Kitchen as the exterior has colorful art murals and plants everywhere. It's a hidden gem. The ordering process:1) Order inside.2) Find table.3) Wait for table number to be called.4) Pick up order inside.5) Enjoy your meal.6) Please buss table.I ordered the garlic salmon sashimi salad, spicy salmon rice cake and mint lemonade. I didn't realize my mint lemonade was frozen, but I'm not complaining because it was actually quite delicious. It was the perfect hint of sweetness and the mint was super refreshing. The sashimi salad was super fresh and the dressing had great flavor. The crispy rice was a good portion, but it lacked a little bit of flavor, we had some extra Ponzo dressing from the salad and poured that over the crispy rice and was actually really good. I think it could've used a little bit more flavor or salt. Otherwise it was still tasty.One thing I'm unsure of is the total of our tab. According to the menu, if you add everything we had it should total $87.00. I remember tipping 20% and my credit card total charge was $130.55. Even after tax + tips, I feel like it shouldn't be as high as $130.55. At the time of payment, I asked for a receipt because I thought that was really pricey for lunch for 3 people. But they only give you a credit card receipt. I wanted to ask for a breakdown receipt but didn't bother because I didn't want to inconvenience anyone. Now I kind of wish I did ask just to ensure they charged me correctly.All in all, this spot has a lot of personality. The patio seating is adorable. I love all the artwork and plants everywhere! And the inside is so cute as well. My cousin says the owner loves plants and you can really tell with lush plants everywhere. Check it out if you're in the area. It's so cute and food is great. It's a whole vibe!
