    We were four diners; 2 from Cape Town and two from USA. We have dined at YU before, and enjoyed our experienced, therefore we returned for another gastronomical evening. Everything was good, tasty and no complaints. All dishes were superb. We ate the chops, Indonesian stir fry, sushi, chicken striacha, beef ribs and other small dishes. It is not cheap but worth a magnificent evening
