Yuu Kitchen (Aldgate)

• Most of the seating is counter height but the bar stools are comfortable and have backs
• Our table of four were reasonably impressed by the Pan Asian and Southern Pacific Rim food on offer
• We started with double orders of fried pork scratching with an acidic dipping sauce
• A double order of twice cooked 7 Up braised pork belly bao was nice not particularly special either
• Whitefish and octopus was astoundingly good
• It contained cubes of avocado and slivers of red onion and was also flavored with a little soy and sesame
• The Dutchman in our party is crazy about aubergine so we had two orders of wok fried aubergine with miso glaze
• Deep fried aubergine that was not greasy
• All of the deep fried dishes were perfectly executed
• Sweet potato fries came with sriracha spiked mayo and were beautiful as well
• It was very refined with finely crushed peanuts
• Section of the menu was underwhelming
• I was looking forward to this labor intensive dish of chicken first poached in spicy broth that is then dry cooked either in the deep fryer or under the broiler
• It was extremely successful in terms of texture with moist flesh and delicate thin skin
• The version at Yuu was roasted rather than deep fried
• Service was thoughtful enough to bring the rice with the chicken
• They had been coated with brown sugar and broiled with a flame thrower until a crispy crust formed
• Think of a creme brule with very sweet banana instead of custard
• Our other dessert of chocolate spring rolls was less to my liking
• Tiny spring rolls filled with dark chocolate served with raspberry sorbet
• Manga murals collaborated with Hong Kong artists
• Asian fusion food is so hot on the plate in London&rsquo
• Dined here a few weeks ago with a couple of friends after work
• Read some great reviews on TripAdvisor and was following them on Instagram and loved the look of the place and the food
• I think they've had a play around with the menu as I can't seem to find fault with the dishes we had
• I like spice so I added it to someone the food I had with this gorgeous chilli oil they make themselves it's hot
• Yuu Kitchen is a right gem of a place located on the Aldgate end of Commercial Street
• Cor is busy with Manga style pop art
• Buns) blends fine dining flair with casual dining fun at Yuu Kitchen on Commercial Street &ndash
• S menu of sharing dishes and bao is one of the most irresistible I&rsquo
• Mirin and soy with a ginger and garlic sauce
• Same goes for the deeply flavoursome sweet and sticky eggplant (wok fried with white miso glaze
• Yuu Kitchen is a new tapas style southeast Asian and Pacific Rim restaurant not far from the vibrancy of Spitalfields market
• It sits amongst the hustle and bustle of Commercial St with an on trend offer that should tick the boxes of the city workers who inhabit this part of town
• The restaurant interior mixes manga style graphics with the sort of bird cages you find at oriental markets
• The best view of the action is from the seated bar area where you are right on top of the chefs
• The pillowy Bao was the perfect vehicle for the delicate crunch of the crab enlivened by a hint of wasabi mayo
• 8) was tender and came with a piquant bbq sauce
• Sweet and sticky eggplant with a white miso glaze (£
• 8) was a plateful of crunch bursting with authentic Thai flavours
• A plateful of really fresh sashimi style tuna zinged with the gentle citrus tang of yuzu oil
