Hands down one of the best Japanese in the country! The salmon and white fish Sashimi was so fresh and delicious so much so that we ordered another dish as dessert. Service is outstanding. Friendly staff who go the extra mile.
Great atmosphere and well spaced out tables.
Having just moved from Auckland this will be at the top of my regular list.
Even fur babies are allowed.
Thanks team Bar Yoku!
Loved my first dining experience at Bar Yoku. The service was friendly and engaging. We had the soft shell sushi tacos- DELISH!! We also shared the Sashimi Platter - the best I’ve had in Christchurch. The fish was fresh ! We had the Tofu salad to share - loved the dressing. So yummy . Then we had to have the charcoal skewers - the prawns were tasty , loved the mayo dressing ( wasabi maybe?)
Can’t wait to return !! Only tiny Croatian is no chairs with back support for us oldies 🤣
I had a fantastic experience. The food was creative and delicious, with unique flavor combinations that really impressed me. First time trying raw waygu beef great experience. Sitting opposite to yakitori wasn’t a thing for me but was a new experience. ( looked like no other table options for couples). Delicious food.

First visit, very impressed. Food was amazing, so tasty and great variety. We had a range of dishes and everything was great. The drinks menu is extensive and whatvwe had was lovely. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. We will definitely be back!
Found it a bit noisy but that's being picky!
Why have I not been here earlier! The place is awesome, nestled in the Welder and all its greeny goodness, Bar Yoku is a real Japanese treat. We ordered a bunch of really diverse dishes (easy to do) and they were all fantastic. Everything was well prepared, looked great on the plate and tasted amazing. Service was friendly and attentive, and by the time we left the place was heaving. So best to book ahead me thinks. Thanks Team Bar Yoku, we had a blast!
Beautiful setting full of greenery. The food was very authentic and delishios. We had Agadashi Tofu and Karaage Chicken. Both were excellent. Reasonable price too. Highly recommend.
Fantastic Japanese food and brilliant service. We all loved it and we're quite a picky bunch (elderly mother, vegetarian, teenagers... ). One of the best cocktails I've had. We'll definitely be back..
Absolutely amazing food! Environment and the owners are such incredible, kind people. We love coming here for personal get togethers and work functions! So amazing highly recommend
Yakitori (meat on a skewer) is delicious here!! The quality is on point and a must try for those who enjoy meat! Smaller portions to try many unusual options (heart, gizzard, tongue) that make it the authentic yakitori experience.
