Yakinori sits on a section of the Bristol Road not noted for its culinary excellence. It’s student central; a stone’s throw from Birmingham University, where cheap beer and average Indian restaurants walk hand-in-hand together, whilst pissed-up students cavort or do whatever pissed-up students do these days. I like this part of Brum because I can come with low expectation and not go home disappointed or broke. But good food? No, that’s a myth. Or at least it was until Yakinori arrived.

nice food and quick. lunch menu choice is okay. went for bento box. expensive and is nice. good portion.
they just add £1 in my bill for donation to brum children hospital. leave us with no choice. happy to donate but would be nice to know beforehand.
seating is limited. not much parking nearby.
Our first visit to Yakinori, we went upon recommendation. Delicious Japanese food, top class service and a real authentic vibe about the restaurant itself. I dined with my family and really enjoyed all of the food. We ordered sushi, tempura prawns, bento box and beef omakase, all were served promptly and were very tasty. We also had some amazing starters that I'd never tried before - Chicken Katsu Tacos, these were wow! My kids loved all of it as well as the bubble tea.
Klara served us and was very attentive and hospitable in her service.
I would highly recommend a visit to Yakinori for anyone who loves Japanese food!
