Youka 八日日本料理

A little piece of Japan in the heart of Hong Kong’s Wan Chai, Youka has become one of the city’s premier locations to enjoy yakitori, sushi and sashimi. Located in a prime location on Johnston Road, Youka brings a distinct style and elegance to an already fashionable cuisine. Available for lunch and dinner, the restaurant is open daily, close walking distance to Wan Chai station and just steps from Gresson Street and Luaroad Road tram stops.

Taking inspiration from seaside Hokkaido, Youka’s interior is beautifully furnished with sleek tables, contrasting earthy colours and chic lighting. Featuring an open kitchen, Youka on Johnston Road in Hong Kong’s Wan Chai allows diners to view their orders being freshly cooked (or delicately rolled, if it’s sushi) and enjoy a Japanese beer or two while they wait. With master chef Ito Katsuhiro in the kitchen, who brings over 20 years of expertise to Youka, diners are ensured the most authentic and high-quality Japanese cuisine money can buy.

Youka is popular because of its affordable lunch specials, the perfect solution for busy Hong Kong workers looking to enjoy a quick and tasty meal. The Youka special bento box is an excellent choice – featuring an appetiser, salad, steamed egg, an array of dishes (grilled, deep-fried and simmered), rice, soup, pickles and dessert, the box gives diners a lot of bang for their buck. Visit Wan Chai’s Youka for dinner and choose from hot dishes like Japanese chicken teriyaki and grilled ox-tongue with black pepper, or go raw with a deluxe assorted sashimi platter. Let chef Katsuhiro give you a true Japanese experience – reserve ahead of time and secure a table.
