Yamu Yamu in Worthing - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had heard lots of good things about this place. We visited on a Friday evening and it was about a third full when we arrived. We waited a while to be served and found the menu quite difficult to read as it was printed on blue paper and the light wasn’t fantastic. We ordered several dishes to get a sample of as many tastes as possible. We enjoyed most of them but were disappointed with the Roasted Miso Cod, the flavours did not complement the cod which was cooked well. Another disappointment was the Chicken Katsu Curry. No where did it mention that the chicken would be coated - again it spoilt the wonderful flavours of the dish. We went on to order desserts, both chocolate brownie and apple crumbo did not disappoint. To finish we had Ile four plum sake - to die for. The finale did not disappoint- Miso Margarita- exceptional. Towards the end of our meal the restaurant was filling up and became very noisy and virtually impossible to have a conversation.

First time at Yamu Yamu and it certainly won’t be the last! Fabulous food, fabulous flavours and a warm and welcoming atmosphere! We were celebrating a good friends birthday, never having tried Japanese cuisine before, I can confidently say that every one of us were delighted with the food, the service and also the Sake & Japanese whiskey! Highly recommend this restaurant, definitely one of the best in Worthing.

The food was really excellent! Such amazing flavours . We ordered way too much but enjoyed it all. The staff were great and very informative about the menu. Great service.

Great range of vegan and non vegan all delicious, obviously prepared with skill, care and attention. Will certainly be returning.

My absolute favourite food. We had a child free evening and there was no question that we wanted to come here. Everything is delicious, the flavours are amazing, the staff are lovely, the decor is cute and the atmosphere is buzzy. Love this place and everything they do. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fabulous lunch at yamu yamu today. Great place to go for either a quick bite to eat or a longer leisurely lunch with family or friends. Food absolutely incredible, tried the mac and kimchi, it was so good. Also recommend the teriyaki fries and the Korean fried chicken bao bun.

The most amazing East Asian inspired food, that tasted sublime! Service, quality of produce and the presentation was first class. Sorry, no pictures as thr food went down too quickly! 😋

Excellent menu with great variety, was quite hard to decide what NOT to order. Food came quickly and was absolutely delicious, especially the katsu curry but also the miso cod and, of course, the bao buns. Really great place - was quieter than it should be for such a tasty and good value venue.

Great find….we was a bit cramped on the tiny table but still a great night. I think we’ll book next time…

Part of a week in Worthing. The best meal we ate. Every one of the 6 dishes we ate (2 each plus 2 shared ‐ wife is vegetarian) was delightful. Very fresh and very tasty. Tapas‐style of dishes coming when they come was not an issue. 6 dishes meant we did not need dessert. Lovely, friendly staff and good tunes also. Just brilliant!

Excellent tasty dishes... Been there twice now and am already looking forward to the next visit. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁😋

What a great find. We went for dinner on a Wednesday evening, the restaurant was quite busy with a real buzzing vibe. The staff greeted us with a friendly smile. They explained the menu and offered to help if we couldn't decide on what to choose but it was so easy. We chose various dishes to share my favourite being the Katsu Chicken and thankfully only ordered a small portion as this was more than enough and soooo delicious as were all of our dishes. The price was more than reasonable too. We shall definitely return to this little gem and will recommend to all our friends and family.

Amazing food at a great price, very pretty restaurant. We also got some delicious freebies 😁 Loved it!

Lovely friendly place with great food. Plenty of choices on the menu for vegan and carnivorous types alike. Service is relaxed, with dishes arriving as they are ready (like Wagamama). Great flavours and good value. We had two dishes each and a side of fries to share and it was plenty

The service was appalling. We asked for a VAT receipt and we were told it would take 10 minutes. We waited and they forgot. 15 minutes we reminded them and they said it would be 10 minutes again. 10 minutes later the manager came with no apology, was super rude and totally disrespected us as customers. The service was appalling

Terrible service. Rude management. The above is succulent but requires additional statement to meet the minimum 100 characters

The new menu is fantastic, lots of new dishes and all we had were excellent. Good vegan options which was great to share with the one vegan in our group.

Maybe because we choose gluten-free menu, the food was not tasty or healthy. we ordered some small plates and a big main chicken curry. Apart from miso aubergine and cabbage which were ok we also got two small plates of potato chips that was cooked...

A hidden gem in Worthing. Amazing menu - we hadn't heard of most of it! The staff were super friendly & efficient in the small space Yamu Yamu offers. There was a lovely selection of unusual beers and the food was amazing! Not somewhere I...

Amazing food. Great flavour and wonderful service. Would recommend to anyone. The aubergine was super as was the hispi cabbage. Great vibe very busy and What a great find! Will be back! Thank you!

Love this quirky restaurant, the food is great and the evening atmosphere is so cosy and welcoming. I tried the Biscoff Bao which was crazy good!

Great food and service, prices were fairly reasonable for the quality. Great variety of cocktails and drinks.

Lovely Asian fusion street food style menu. Lots of small plate options so great for sharing and the plum wine is lovely. Decor is quirky and fun (very instagramable) but not intrusive and the staff are lovely. Plates come out as they’re ready so expect...

Small, casual eaterie - didn't recognise the decor from the picture shown here! Simple tables and chairs with cushions and didn't appear to be any heating - it was cold! However, food was very good and well priced. Menu is more Asian fusion than Japanese...

Came here as a four on a Friday evening and it was a pleasant surprise. The service was super friendly, attentive and quick. This place take their customer service seriously and the staff have the perfect balance of casual and laidback but diligent to the...

Fantastic food, great choice of drinks and very good desserts. Beautifully decorated Yamu Yamu take real care of every detail.

Loved the opportunity to order lots of small dishes to share. Very tasty choices aided by friendly advice from serving staff. Wonderful experience.

Great night, thank you! This is one of Worthing’s best places to eat.. lots of interesting options.. great flavours.. a really well put together menu. Plus a creative drinks menu.. something for everyone. A real buzz about the place too ! See you soon !

Lovely little place. Good food, atmosphere and service. We both enjoyed our visit and would recommend the place to anyone

Love taking the curry fries with the Yfc !! Atmosphere is good , always come here for a good time. Now adding characters because of the min characters required.

Wow what a pleasant surprise. Arrived on a whim, not particularly hungry so ordered mostly smaller dishes. We had heard good things about this place and it lived up to the hype. Very interesting, varied and inspired menu. The choice of cocktails with an Asian...

We were six for a Saturday birthday lunch for my son. He had chosen it for the simple straightforward menu. The decor is, well a bit basic in some respects but there is a nice atmosphere. The tables are covered in manga cartoons and there...

Love Yamu Yamu. They make some really delicious vegetarian dishes. Crispy Cauliflower and Bao Bun with crispy fried tofu, these are my Must-Haves. Broccolini and Shiitake Potstickers are also yummy. Nasu Dengaku (grilled aubergine with miso paste) is nice too. Everyone is friendly, but when...

Friendly, cosy, Japanese fusion cuisine, vegan / vegetarian friendly, everything on the menu is interesting and delicious. And the best Negronis in Worthing.

Fabulous flavours, absolutely delicious. Expect great food but don't go hungry. The prices are high for what you get. And drinks are pricey too.

Everything we ordered was good. Very enjoyable Birthday meal and great service. Yfc and bao buns were delicious and daughter came for her gyozas!

Lovely atmosphere with beautiful food. We had the YFC (Yamu fried chicken), crispy cauliflower, teriyaki fries and a bao bun each. Would highly recommend.

Incredible food, everything was very fresh tasting and was served quickly. We ordered a selection of different dishes including the bao buns, yfc and gyozas. Food comes out as and when it is cooked so it was nice to have it spread out rather than...

Came here for a birthday celebration and it was incredible! Food was amazing, we got lots of small plates between all of us and that worked perfectly. The service was great, staff super friendly and the food was just incredible. Not a long wait at...

Been several times now with lots of different people. Reliably excellent experience and food. Lovely relaxed vibe really good service.

Really tasty food and excellent service - Abby was a lovely waiter and we had a fantastic evening!!!

Such an adorable little cafe, the decor is very aesthetically pleasing. Myself and my partner shared the tofu bao buns, teriyaki fries, crispy cauliflower and mushroom gyozas. All delicious but the cauliflower was definitely the star of the show. The cherry blossom cocktail was also...

I absolutely loved the food and my order was perfect however this wasn’t the same for our group and unfortunately they served my friend a dish with an item specifically asked to not be included. My friend is breastfeeding still and her baby is highly...

Really cosy with friendly staff. We had a selection of small plates and the dumplings, chicken, bao and cauliflower were all so tasty 😋 will definitely be going back.

What a treat! Lovely, friendly vibe - gorgeous food, tasty and well presented. Vegan, veggie, plant-based options - and all delicious! The katsu curry I had was lush. Very reasonably priced too, and would certainly return. Well done the amiable staff for all you do.

Loved our visit to this restaurant. Amazing food. So tasty. Great veggie and vegan options. Staff was really friendly too. Really busy and good atmosphere. Highly recommend!

This was our 2nd time at Yamu Yamu, we went there with our 2 freinds who were visiting us for the weekend. The last time we went it was brilliant so we wanted to share the experience, we weren't dissappointed. Once again we had a...

Amazing restaurant, great food, waitress was incredible. Thanks for having us, brilliant meal out with friends.

This has just become our favourite restaurant in the area. The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and the cocktails were amazing.

Popped in to this small restaurant Saturday night on the off chance of getting a table and we’re lucky enough to get a small table with high stools near to the bar which was cute. The food is good value, great quality and the service...

Great food, very friendly and personal service despite being short staffed and very busy. We'll be back :-)

I had been once before and enjoyed it so decided to come with a few friends to celebrate my birthday. Such a relaxed atmosphere. Love the decor. The food is delicious. The staff friendly. It's the sort of restaurant that would be good for one...

Great food! Couldn’t fault it. Perhaps slightly more man size portions of fish in the dish but still, tastes great. Lovely friendly service and ambience.

We had heard the food here was lovely and it didnt disappoint. Waiting staff were attentive, helpful, friendly and made for a really warm welcome. The menu is fairly small, and caters for vegan/gf/vegetarian and meat eaters. We ordered several small plates to share along...

Firstly, the decor here is beautiful and I felt like whenever I looked twice somewhere I saw something new. It was also faultlessly clean with individual sanitiser provided on each table. When we were seated we were immediately provided with a bottle of water and...

Really tasty food, had fried chicken, dumplings and the dirty fries are really good. Had a couple of cocktails, staff were really good, friendly and helpful. Definitely would go again.

The dirty fries are incredible! We can’t wait to return and try more delicious food. Great service too

This place is incredible, hands down one of the best places to eat in Worthing. The staff are great, very welcoming and helpful. As this leans towards street food, our server recommended how many plates would be enough and not to over order. The bar...

Amazing food, really friendly and helpful service, and they don’t treat their customers like lepers. Best place to eat in Worthing. 5***

Beautifully simple and stylish decor, gorgeous food delivering multiple layers of taste and deliciously complex cocktails. Thankyou Yamu Yamu. R and K

Our 2nd visit to yamu yamu eclipsed our first and the first was good. Brilliant delicious food and great staff. 100% coming back

It was my second time at Yamu Yamu and was so happy to be back. The food was exceptional. Really enjoyed trying some new things from their menu. We had one of each desserts which were presented beautifully and again tasted delicious. Service was wonderful...

Me and my wife popped in for a quick bite and were greeted by 2 lovely ladies with fantastic smiles, and all round good vibes. the food was delicious, we had the bao bin with pork, cauliflower bites, mushroom gyoza (amazing). The beer was really...

It was my first visited. We ordered Sriracha Filthy Fries, Bao Pork, Bao Fried Chicken, Chicken Katsu, and Bubble tea. It is just S*** and too expensive for what it is!!

We ordered from here tonight and all I can say is that it was amazing and we will definitely be going back

We are late to the Yamu Yamu party, but we finally acted on all the recommendations and were not disappointed. Fresh, well cooked and utterly delicious. A great takeaway selection and we can not wait to try out the other options, and eat in when...

My first trip to YamuYamu, it was wonderful! I wish I hadn’t left it so long to visit. Food was so tasty and fresh, amazing staff, gorgeous cocktails and beers. The decor is super cute also. I can’t wait to come back! So exciting to...

Lovely fresh food! Lovely fresh food and delicious flavours. Definitely try the cauliflower - banging! The reason for 4* was the fact that that it was a bit pricey if you wanted to try things. Nice atmosphere.

This is our first time trying Yamu Yamu and I’m officially obsessed! We got a takeaway for collection and the food was right on time for us to pick up. The customer service was great and I love Japanese food so I had high expectations,...

Some really unusual dishes on offer here, all cooked to perfection. All staff very friendly and helpful. My only very small criticism is the toilet... So tiny anyone slightly larger than average would struggle to move around, very strange set up.

Wow !! We chose a mixture of vegan options & we were not disappointed. Totally delicious & great service

Quirky restaurant with lots of interesting meat and vegan options. We went for bao buns on a sunday & will definitely go back to try the rest if the menu. Service was great as well.

Great food, great service! Staff were super friendly and nice and food was great! Really lovely night

I really enjoyed my first trip to Yamu Yamu. I had prawn gyoza with a beautiful fresh salad and loaded fries. I loved the quirkiness of the place. and the fact that you could choose healthier options.

This place is amazing. Food looks great, tastes great and is great. Love it. (need the steamed buns on week days though too!)

Food was excellent and service was fast and friendly. Prices were great too. Recommend the cocktails

This was a great find. Beautifully decorated, nice atmosphere and great food. Accommodated kids fussiness well. Yummy.

Atmosphere is funky and fun, back to basics. The menu is small but perfectly executed spin on Japanese street food. Feels like Brighton used to 30 years ago. Well worth a visit!

Lovely food, nice and efficient staff, reasonable prices. Perfect for lunch in town. We'll definitely return

Everything was delicious, presentation was beautiful. Great vegan & vegetarian options, friendly staff, everything came out quickly. Tables spaced a good distance apart, well ventilated, felt very covid-safe. 10/10 would go again.

Food was delicious, we shared gyoza, karage chicken, teriyaki fries and katsu curry. It's a really good introduction to Japanese food and ambience, nothing too scary for english palates but my girlfriend (who lived in Hiroshima for a few years) assures me that everything was...

We tried Yamu Yamu for the first time last night and it was fantastic. The food was so tasty and really colourful and pretty to look at. Pretty much everything on the menu was vegan or could be a vegan option, which was brilliant. Love...

I had the Jack fruit bao buns and my boyfriend had the dirty fries, which was a really big portion. Food was amazing and I loved the decor of the cafe.

Love the food here and have recommended it to several people. Took advantage of the new takeaway menu today, in these strange times, which was equally as delicious. Support your local businesses if you can.

A must eat place! Tons of small but flavorsome dishes with an almost tapassy? feel to it. The aesthetic is brilliant and a delicious great place to take your friends. Also lovely staff who gave a quick and friendly service. Also quirky toilets!

Great options for meat eater, veggies and vegans. Plates are small so would recommend 2-3 each or 4 between two people.

A delicious array of Japanese-inspired small plates. Between the three of us we had 10, nine from the menu and one special (excellent tempura shimeji mushrooms). There wasn’t one dish that disappointed. With three small cocktails, two sets of nibbles, one dessert and a bottle...

This place is a must try!! The menu is so fun like a Japanese style tapas and all the food we had was gorgeous and so nice that it comes when it’s cooked as it’s fresh and also you forget what you’ve ordered, tuck in...

Went for lunch today and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Everything we ordered was super tasty. They have an interesting selection of soft drinks too. Service was great. Want to go back and try their dinner menu now!

Had lovely lunch, I had a small issue that was dealt with in a very customer focused way. Sometimes if there is a small issue that is sorted in a professional way, you feel like the staff/owners really care. That’s how I felt. Great restaurant...

the food was incredible!! service was awesome!! cant reccomend enough! definitely coming back! the bao wow wow is wow! filthy fries live up to the name! gyosa are so good!!

Very impressed with this place. Went for lunch and had Bao Buns, Korean fries, Salad and Gyoza. The Gyoza & salad were the highlights but the Bao buns and fries were very tasty and filling. Also had a Chocolate Brownie with Miso Salted Caramel for...

I have now visited on several occasions and each time with different people and the verdict has always been the same - wonderful! It’s so refreshing to welcome another independent business to the increasingly fashionable ‘ west end’ of Worthing . Yamu Yamu has an...

Have been a few times now and plan to keep going! The coffee, teas and desserts are amazing for a day’s sugar hit, and the main courses for the evening are great. Best to go with a group so everyone can get different things to...

Inside look lovely nice style but everything else was terrible, The food was small portions which they told us from the start but when the portions came out they were incredibly small for the price you’re paying I paid £5.15 for a bit of salmon...

Serendipity - we came across this by accident in Worthing’s buzzing west end. Really friendly, great ambience and fantastic value for money - really great flavours. We’ll definitely be back.

Fresh delicious food. Recommend the chicken Katsu curry, good kick of heat, sticky rice and crunchy veg

This place is amazing, as soon as you walk in you get a cosy feel about the place. Me and my partner come in on the off chance , to have a late lunch . We ordered some really nice lose teas, that come in...

I have now visited Yamu Yamu on two occasions, both for lunch. The first time I went, my partner and I shared some bao buns, gyoza and filthy fries. All were delicious, particularly the filthy fries which had nuts and sauces on them. I really...

Went here to grab some lunch will be returning for dinner food was amazing so tasty and different. Busy little place good service
