Yuko Kitchen DTLA
101 W 5th St, Los Angeles, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into downtown LA, this plant-filled sanctuary strikes the perfect balance between a casual lunch spot and a tranquil escape, where friendly staff and carefully plated light fare create an ideal setting for lingering conversations or solo moments. The lush greenery and natural light transform the space into something Instagram-worthy yet genuinely welcoming, making it easy to understand why regulars keep coming back for both the reasonable prices and the genuinely chill vibe that permeates every corner.”

Best place I could find for brunch. They serve grate quality with quality food. One must try Cucumber Sushi. Highly recommend this place. You will be able to enjoy nice ambience with great food…☺️
Finally got a chance to come to this location. I mostly go to the one in Miracle Mile location. Place was busy for lunch. Atmosphere was fine but not as good as the other location. Service was fine too and the salad 🥗 was still good but it was too much for me 🤭👍🏻 the place was quite not too noisy. Reasonable prices 👍🏻the only thing was parking was tough Other than that, I like their food 👍🏻
This is a very cute spot. Tons of plants, nice natural light, clean. The people working there are very friendly and professional, and set a great tone for a chill ambiance. However, I did not like the food. I also t Don’t think we ordered anything that truly would have shown us the best they have to offer. We got the kabocha squash, which while nice because it’s just good squash straight up roasted, it came with tough chucks of ginger that were not good to eat. We also ordered the pickles—the veggies that were pickled were good, but the cucumbers weren’t pickled, why? We also ordered the nachos because we saw other diners eating the nachos and they looked good! They tasted so-so, à very strange mix of raw and cooked elements. I had indigestion all night and into the next day. We didn’t try the coffee or tea, so I can’t speak to that. But we got two cookies: the basic chocolate chip was terrible in flavor and consistency - I only had a couple of bites, and for me says a lot that I didn’t bother to eat the whole thing. The other cookie was a vegan yam mochi— neither of us could really chew it. Flavor was ok. But overall, not worth eating. However, the ambiance here is great. They obviously have loyal customers coming in for an early dinner and loving it. So, it’s probably good if you get tipped off on what to order.
Would come visit this place again and again. Delicious food, wonderful and friendly service, prices are EXTREMELY reasonable.... And the PLANTS! 🥰 they're literally everywhere you look, it's so beautiful. The air heat feels clean and nice. The drinks are cheap during happy hour. Highly recommend.
Super cute a lunch and early dinner spot in downtown LA. The space itself is adorable, with plenty of hanging plants and wooden tables. The food is prepared and presented nicely. The happy hour is also great; Boba and beer are $40 from 4 to 6 PM! Last time I got a delicious iced matcha latte and it was refreshing and delightfully yummy. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area.
