The dining area is very chic with lots of sleek lines. Very elegant but modern style. Loved all the tableware as well - everything seemed earthy and hand thrown. Our favorites of the night were hands down the duck and truffle fried rice - we all fought for this dish toward the end. It was one of the most unctuous bites of food that I've ever had. The fried rice was PERFECT - each grain of rice was coated in beautiful fat and was the homiest and warmest kind of dish. Would come back for this alone. I highly recommend coming to YuGo, especially if you have a large group and want to try a variety of dishes. All the flavors and cook were spot on, and we really enjoyed our time. Thank you YuGo!

Let me preface this review by saying the food is like, 10 star food. Eat here!! This was our best…read moremeal in the whole of Ireland, and we were there for 11 days. We sampled the fried dumplings, the wok fried green beans (YUM), truffle duck fried rice, and yellowtail nigiri. The yellowtail nigiri was insanely good. It didn't specify on the menu that it would be anything different than traditional nigiri, but it did have a non traditional sauce on it... and WOW it worked. The duck fried rice was delightful, but a bit too truffle forward (for us) to the point where it was too rich to eat much of. The 4 star review is purely because of the ambiance. The lighting is crazy. It's super dark in there, but the lights over the tables are like spotlights. It felt like we were on display to the other patrons. Additionally, the music is quite loud. Otherwise, food was fantastic and the service was also great! Highly recommend if you can exist in that sort of environment. Really cool concept very well executed.

Visited here last night to try the new live Teppanyaki restaurant and was very impressed! First…read morerestaurant of its kind in Belfast - a great addition! The place is called 3 Levels as it has a cafe/bar on the ground floor, Chinese restaurant on the second floor and Japanese restaurant on the top level. The Japanese restaurant is set up with 2 separate Teppanyaki grills stations, surrounded by customer seating, so everyone is facing the chef who cooks & performs tricks right in front of you - perfect setting for a team night out/social event. You can choose to order from a set menu which has 4/5 courses, or you can order individual items such as starter and a main. They have a great selection of meat, fish and veg options, including sirloin steak; chicken; duck; salmon and sushi. They also have lobster which we seen cooked on the grill at the next table - looked impressive! I ordered the tempura prawns to start, amazing. Then I opted for the salmon in plum teriyaki sauce with egg fried rice, so good. I got to sample a little of the steak and tiger prawn mains too - all so flavoursome! The staff are all very friendly and attentive, couldn't do enough for you. And the chef provides great entertainment throughout the evening. The only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars was only because there was no background music to provide a perfect, relaxing atmosphere. However, that's me being picky, I wouldn't let this deter me from returning. Can't wait to go back to give this place another go

Delighted by a lengthy vegan menu, but not so delighted by the actual food. Spiced potato cake…read morestarter consisted of potato cakes which seemed like frozen, mass-produced items. While the Tofu Saag Main consisted of sauce which was flavourful, the tofu itself was soft, gelatinous and poorly prepared. I cannot understand why a restaurant would bother serving tofu if it's not going to do it properly. Tofu should be crispy, firm, well-pressed and marinated - this tofu possessed none of these qualities. Indeed it was a soft tofu more suited to making desserts rather than a firm tofu which would be better suited to such a main dish. Pluses included tasty vegan naan bread, a dedicated vegan/ vegetarian menu, excellent service from two attentive waitresses and a beautiful restaurant interior. Food in Soul is not cheap, so it should be of better quality and it could be with a few small tweaks.

Good for the soul!…read more That's their motto and I couldn't agree more, let me tell you a wee story... It was my pals birthday and I said I'd meet him for lunch and as he works on the Dublin road that seemed the logical place to have lunch, especially as we both only had an hour to spare. I have to admit that initially we planned to go to Kitch but unfortunately the door was still locked when we approached. I suggested Souls as I had seen it when passing by and had also seen it pop up on my trusty Yelp app. To be perfectly honest I wasn't too hopeful, not because it didn't look great but because I thought it was more of a dinner destination that a lunch spot. Let's start with the decor, it's light bright and modernly furnished - a really comfortable environment without being overly formal - just what you want for a lunch time destination. We were presented with lunch menus when we entered. the options were good although they were definitely a little more expensive in comparison to other lunch menus I've seen. I ordered the Chicken Tikka wrap! When it came I was shocked at the presentation, they made what could have been a simple wrap in to a work of art, the salad sat in a lettuce leaf, the sauce was smeared on the plate michelin style and the wrap was cut in half exposing the tender chicken. The wrap was actually a gluten free naan bread - sensational is the only word I can use to describe it. The wrap had a spicy kick but it wasn't overbearing. Overall the food was incredible, a really great lunch. I didn't feel too full and it was pretty healthy. Really top class food. The other thing to note was the speed of the food (lunch crowd take note) We ordered at 12:15 and our food was with us by 12:35! The staff were great too - granted there was only two of us in the restaurant but they were attentive and eager to help! The whole experience was fantastic - it won't be long until I'm back!

They serve a range of Asian dishes, Thia, Japanese etc and their Udon Noodles are delicious. As with almost all takeaway outlets, home delivery us available and their have their own app to download to order from online. You must register and email address and delivery details for this. Until recently they were available through Just Eat but have parted ways with them now. My pet hate from here is that they do not have a card machine so cash payments are required in-store but an ATM is very close by so not really a big issue.

It is very loud, both from people talking and then with music once that started. This is more of a vibe place than a good food place. Misoshiru has too much miso. The mackerel was a bit disappointing, the vinegar flavoring is light and it has that thawed from frozen texture. The rice is good, much better than I typically see stateside. The tuna was oddly sweet and didn't have firmness. The hamachi was spot on though, not sure why the other two were misses. The signature dish is fried monkfish in something similar to sweet and sour sauce, honestly not that impressed. Cheesecake is not as dense as American cheesecake and not fluffy like a soufflé, I think it was a good middle ground. Not too sweet.

The service was very attentive.
