    We really enjoyed our Dinner at Yu Restaurant, where we met our Niece from Jo-burg. We shared a variety of sushi and dim sum dishes, and everything tasted extremely good. Ian, our waiter was very helpful, and he even let us taste some of the sushi dishes, as we told him that we are very big "Sushi Fans". We would love to eat there again soon!

    Great food, but will not come back due to the poor and impolite service. A mumbling waitress with apparently no interest to really host and make her guests feel welcome and comfortable. The restaurant was empty, but she couldn’t even remember who ordered what at our 4 pax table. The manager loudly watched YouTube or so on his phone and completely ignored the poor service of his staff. Ambiance is like a fake Asian business restaurant, not great at all. I feel sorry for the kitchen staff as the food was really good, they deserve colleagues who understand how to service the guests properly.
