Pretty good. Wanted to have GOOD Japanese for dins and this deffo #served. Food 10/10 DELISH!!!!!!! so fast as well, we got all of our 8 little dishes within 5 mins so 10/10 on fast service! hospo/customer service wise pretty dec but could be improved so 7/10. ambience : classic Japanese restaurant quite simple however could see it becoming really trendy and go to Japanese in the dunt, so would like to see some fun decor.
Overall enjoyed thoroughly and came out full,thank u for the beautiful food X
Absolutely love it here. The braised pork belly is to die for! The chicken yakitory, gyoza and tempura is also really yum. Good service and it super quick, so you can just order as you go. 100% recommend!
Awesome food great atmosphere and a good choice of traditional dishes. Could do with a bit more variety of saké. Godd pricing and quick service.
We came here last night. Not a first choice but a lot of places are closed currently between boxing day and new years. Slightly down an alley under minami. We were seated straight away even though there was 5 of us and they even moved a booking over to another table for us. At yuki you need to get several things as it's all quite small though cheap too, i recommend sharing of possible. I had miso and tried someone else's adamame(those salty beans) which was really good. I also had agadashi tofu which was disapointing. This is my favorite thing to get elsewhere however it was not very crunchy and and I was disapointed by this. Happily, I also got a pork hot pot which was very good and had a delicious spicy broth with heaps of veges. I also tried a friends soft shell tempura crab and Damm! I will be getting that next time, i highly recommend it. Overall yuki is nice for a cheap night out with good atmosphere.
Wonderfully tasting and fresh. Enjoyed the Sashimi plate with tempura veg and prawn along with pork belly and chicken. $69 for 2 including 1 litre jug oh Japanese beer. Will go again
Awesome atmosphere and delicious authentic food; but terrible service (I have waited an HOUR for food and drinks TWICE).
Dined here a few weeks ago on a Monday night.
We ordered 4 dishes at once as the dishes are tapa style and we were sharing the different tastes, all dishes came out at the same time. Food was delicious, fresh and appealing.
There was a steady flow of diners in and out with no delays or problems with dishes coming to the table.
We had a young Japanese home stay student with us who was extremely homesick and spoke limited English, our waitress was smiley and friendly and went above and beyond to try and make our night an enjoyable one, even going to another business near by and returning with a lovely ex staff member who spoke more fluent Japanese than she did to try and comfort and make our homestay feel less homesick, very impressed with the thoughtfulness.
Intend returning in a few months with a group of friends, for some good food and great prices.

My favourite place to take friends, it has atmosphere. The manager is cool cat and so are the waiting staff. It has a nice groove to it and you don't feel like you are in a student ghetto restaurant like most are in Dunedin. It feels like it's down a secret alley at night time. There is a nice mix of customers too.
It is not 5* dining so don't expect that kind of service. The idea is Japanese tapas, so don't order like in a restaurant - 1 dish each and expect them to come out at the same time. You order lots of little nibbles (which come out when cooked not in order), drink beer, eat some more, drink some saki, chat chat, order more food. Experiment with orders, if you don't like the dish you've only lost $6. It's awesome. The food if fresh authentic and delicious. Their agedashi tofu is the BEST in town and a perfect hangover cure with miso soup. Their beef tataki and tuna sashimi tastes fresh too, which is more than I can say for other places round town - including Minami (I would give them 2* for lunch)
These guys rock it.
You can spend from $30 - 40 for 2 people and get 7-8 dishes or I have managed to spend $140 for 2!!!!Still not sure how we managed that......
Having never had Japanese food before we went here for my brothers birthday and I absolutely loved it!!
Lots of small portions to be able to choose from which was perfect as I was able to try a range of foods, and I felt the prices were great. My favourites are the Octopus Balls, Prawn Tempura & Beef Tataki. YUM!
Have since been back quite a few times and continue to recommend this Japanese restaurant to others :)
I have dined at Yuki several times and always had a great experience. I had a Japanese school exchange leader staying with me so thought it would be interesting to take her there to see what she had to say. We ordered 9 different items and for most of them she said that it tasted just like it did at home! High praise for Yuki.
Great food and loved the BBQ sticks with authentic mild smokey flavour. Really enjoyed and surprisingly not expensive.
Best Japanese outside of japan. Incredible that a tiny little elbow room, that hardly looks open can produce such atmosphere and delicious fair. Such a bow on Dunedins cap.
Great little spot for some great food. The chef threw a couple of recommendations too which were delicious. It seemed rather cheap as well. Food was delicious and in good quantity
Amazing Japanese food and a cool little intimate venue. Pretty well priced too. Definitely recommend.
Im writing this due to I really miss the foods. I went here a few months ago. it was amazing meals❤️❤️❤️
Yuki is a great dining experience, I really enjoyed my meal. The Takoyaki was amazing, on a cold night I really enjoyed having my warm sake with my meal.
Fantastic service and the food was to die for. Each dish arrived in perfect intervals, being hot and fresh. Highly recommend!
Amazing restaurant- really phenomenal options and taste! Did the yaki udon, maguro nigiri, tako tataki, and skewer set... And then ordered more skewers because they were that good! They also serve chu hi here which I haven't had since Japan. A real Japanese izakaya! They are also really nice, a couple walked in right before closing (7 minutes before) and told them to come in and take a table. Never even mentioned they were cleaning up moments ago.
Easily the best Japanese food not only in Dunedin, but in NZ. My favourite place.
Nice Japanese food. Meals are more of a share plate variety if you haven’t dined like this before. Skewers are a specialty here. Good if your not sure how hungry you are as you can always add a little bit more
