At Bar Yoku, the menu leans into a modern Japanese izakaya style with a playful, fusion-driven edge that runs through both food and drinks. The standout Sushi Taco section brings bold combinations like Peking Duck and Crumbed Swordfish, balancing crisp textures with rich, savoury fillings. From the Izakaya selections, dishes such as Prawn Dog, Yoku Fried Chicken, and Crumbed Prawns highlight a casual yet refined approach to comfort-style Japanese bar food.
The raw and grill offerings push further into premium territory, featuring Raw Wagyu and Blue Fin Tuna Sashimi, alongside grilled highlights like Hokkaido Scallops and Grilled Fish Collar, which showcase clean flavours and careful preparation. Skewers play a major role in the experience, with Yakitori options including Momo, Negima, Tebasaki, Tskune, Mune, and richer cuts like Pork Belly, Spicy Lamb, Black Origin Wagyu Beef, and Black Origin Wagyu Heart, as well as Salmon under Kushiyaki for a broader grilled selection.
Nigiri keeps things classic but elevated with Salmon, White Fish, Wagyu Beef, and Egg, while the Green section offers lighter contrast through Yoku Salad, Pickled Cucumbers, and Grilled Broccoli. To finish, the Sweet offering of Mochi provides a simple, traditional ending.
The drinks list is equally ambitious, ranging from cocktails like Green Apple Cardamon, Black Plum + Beetroot, Sake + Black Sesame Sour Cherry + Cola, and Roasted Oats + Honey, to a curated selection of spirits including Haku Vodka, Scapegrace Umeshu Plum Vodka, and Kuro Siranami Satsuma Shochu. Whisky choices such as Mars Wai, The Chita, Hibiki Harmony Masters Select, and Cardrona Distillery expressions underline the premium focus, while rum, bourbon, rye, and brandy options like Woodford Bourbon and Wild Turkey Rye add depth. Japanese staples like Choya and Kishu Umeshu round out the plum wine selection, reinforcing the restaurant’s strong izakaya identity.
