Yakiuo Ishikawa Saigon (Thảo Điền) - Authentic Japanese restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City

Nice place to visit if you are looking for Japanese Omakase seafood. Cosy and small place Very good service, Trinh is lovely

The food was amazing, i enjoyed every bites. If you’re planning to have a cocktail, you must order the umeshu highball. The space was a bit small, but it didnt feel crowded. Will definitely come back!

We recently had dinner at Yakiuo Thao Dien, and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. The standout of the meal was definitely the sashimi. It was exceptionally fresh, with a clean, naturally sweet flavor and a texture that made it taste as if it had just come out of the sea. The quality of the seafood was impressive and easily the highlight of our dinner. The other dishes we ordered were also delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Everything was beautifully presented, and you could tell the restaurant pays close attention to the quality of its ingredients. One dish that didn’t quite live up to our expectations, though, was the rice with sea urchin (uni). It wasn’t bad by any means, but compared to the rest of the meal, it didn’t have the “wow” factor we were hoping for. It felt a bit underwhelming, especially considering how much we enjoyed everything else. The atmosphere is cozy, stylish, and comfortable, making it a lovely place for a date night or a relaxed dinner with family and friends. Personally, I don’t think it’s the best choice for a business dinner, as the space feels more intimate and casual than formal. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout the evening, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner for two. The incredibly fresh sashimi alone is worth coming back for, and despite the uni rice not being our favorite, we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We’d definitely return to try more dishes on the menu and would happily recommend Yakiuo Thao Dien to anyone looking for quality Japanese cuisine in Thao Dien.

We had the Sanshokudon Course at Yakima and really enjoyed it. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. This visit, we sat in one of the booths and had a great experience. Next time, we definitely want to come back for the omakase and fresh sushi experience at the bar. Watching the chefs prepare everything right in front of you looks like the best way to enjoy Yakima. Highly recommended. We’ll be back!

Had a wonderful dinner. The food was fresh and delicious, the atmosphere was comfortable, and the service was excellent. The staff were extremely friendly. I highly recommend everyone to give this place a try!
