This place is the worst... over cooked halibut, place is dirty. If I can give no starts I would. JUST BAD !! read more

Lets begin with how horrible the service is! The first AND last time I'll be coming here. Was decently busy but not packed! Grew up around Greek food and this is not the spot to go if you're looking for some greek food. We were passing by decided to grab a bite. We ordered a salad, 2 drinks, smoked salmon, potatoes, calamari and requested for some bread. The salad came out first... funky taste for a salad. Then, salmon, decent. Then the potatoes & then the calamari... $15 for a small portion. Our drinks should of been the first thing on the table. Didn't get them until after our food was done...and flat! After I requested for them twice! The waiter was just LOST! The bread was stale, also brought out at the end... literally... after we finished our dishes along with the ketchup which was no longer even needed! lol... Kind of annoyed we just wanted to leave already, asked for the check... took a while to be brought to us. Best part was when we asked the waiter if the accepted cards... he looked at me like I was crazy. I repeated myself 4 times making a hand gesture for him to understand. And I don't even have an accent. Definitely not a to go spot. SERVICE: 1 out of 5 ... Quality of food 3 out of 5.... Prices do not match the worth of the food. A bit over priced. read more

I had an early dinner here with colleagues. We shared whole fish prepared by grilling. The snapper was extremely fresh and delicious. We also had a cold plate of various types of hummus/dips and the Greek salad. The service was superb and the food was delicious. The wait staff was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Next time I am in the neighborhood I will definitely stop by! read more

Yiasou Estiatorio - Filleted whole fish - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just finished my meal dining with a family. Friendly atmosphere, delicious food, nice owners... What else to ask from a neighborhood staple!

Emmons Avenue offers a lot of dining options these days, but Yiasou is a great one if you don't want to be bombarded with "frills" that are meant to distract you from the ordinary. Many of the restaurants in this area will try to pass themselves off as very high end and charge accordingly. Yiasou is mainly a seafood restaurant where you can still go up and choose the fish you'd like to eat that evening. My family has been there a few times, and we've eaten at pretty much all the other places up and down Emmons Ave over the past year. This place is up there with the best if you want a good, clean meal without tons of sauces to disguise the fact that you're eating last week's catch. Update - we've dined here a few more times since my first review. The off - menu items are great and the staff seems even better than before. I'm upgrading my review to 5-stars because this place really does stand apart from everyone else in that area of Emmons Ave. read more

I arrived with some family and friends with high expectations, but they were not met. The food was good, I ordered lamb-chops. They were tender and flavorful but small and very overpriced, $35 for four pieces. The dish came with lots of potatoes and vegetables that were sour and mushyTheir white fish was dry, but their appetizers such as the Greek salad and pita with dip were quite good. We also ordered a $17 shrimp cocktail which contained THREE shrimp! Ridiculous! The average restaurant food did not match the absurdly high prices. The absolute worst part about my experience was the service. It took a while for a waiter to take our order, but it took them over an HOUR to bring it! It was crowded but that is not enough to make up for it. And I started keeping track of time AFTER I ate my appetizer. But what appalled me the most about the restaurant was a couple that sat near me who waited half an hour for one of the waitstaff to even acknowledge them! The overall slowness of the restaurant ruined the entire experience. read more

Yiasou is a first class restaurant with the freshest seafood and best quality everything else. My wife and I have been going there for years and cannot recommend Peter and his wonderful staff strongly enough. It's a pleasure to have a Manhattan quality restaurant in Sheepshead Bay read more

One of the best Greek restaurant in Brooklyn area.The Seafood, especially the octopus is prepare to perfection

This is one of my favorite spots food is delicious everything is fresh good costumer service but the only thing is that when it said marker price for the fish it can go up really high,make sure you ask what the price is for that market price fish read more

We had a very enjoyable diner here tonight, sat outside. I had the crab appetizer and for dinner had shrimp scampi. Food was very good. The waitress also brought us pita with the best tzatziki sauce, my partner had a chicken dish which was very good also. Always pleasant to sit outside for sure. This was our second time here, and there will be a third, however, we had a girl waitress, and I don't like that. I much prefer a man as a waiter, to me, JMO, a girl waitress reminds me of a diner, and this restaurant was far from diner material. That would be my only disappointment, but wouldn't stop me from going again, which we will. read more

This was delicious. The filet sole and the chicken entree were amazing. I would definitely go back.

3.5 star rating! We came here with a group of 8-10 people with no resos at around 8pm on a Saturday night. Luckily, they were able to accommodate us with no problem despite having a packed restaurant! The service was outstanding, and the venue itself was clean, bright, and elegant. The food however, was good...but not spectacular. I guess when you're paying about $25+ for an entree, you're expecting (or at least hoping) you'll be served something delicious, bordering on magnificent. Not so much the case here, unfortunately. A good experience overall. *Note: I would've easily given this place 4 stars if the pricing accurately reflected the quality of their food. read more

The fish is pretty overpriced. We paid $40 for branzino. I recommend their shrimp cooked with lemon and ouzo. But their mezedes are also pretty overpriced in general. read more

The food is okay. Not horrible but also not great. The service is okay. The prices are far from reasonable. Almost everything on the menu is M/P, P/P. There are other Mediterranean style restaurants around the city with better food and better prices. read more

Some dishes are good quality (dorado fish) while others are poor (salmon). Be aware of the fish prices that state M/P (market price) and ask in advance about the price. Most of them are around $30/lb, which makes most of the fish dishes $40-50, too expensive compared other much better quality places in the neighborhood. Overall and overpriced restaurant. read more

I have eaten here 3 times. The first two were excellent. For lunch, I had the swordfish and it was great. My family and I ate here last week. My wife had the Lamb Chops, my older daughter had the BranZino and I had the Red Snapper. My younger daughter was happy with Lobster Bisque Soup. We had baked clams appetizer and grilled octopus with capers, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. My Red Snapper was Overcooked and no taste, the BranZino was ok, but nothing special. The baked clams were large clams, not littleneck(I always think that's a mistake when prepared that way). They tasted good, but they were too big for my liking. The lamb chops were undercooked (to be fair, we like them on the well done side), but also had no taste. The octopus was excellent. I'm hoping it was just a bad night for them. It is a beautiful place and the service is excellent. The owner/manager is always friendly an they try to please. read more

Horrible rotten fish and overcharged​. Bad food.... Also, make sure to ask the price for daily fish dishes ahead of time. Otherwise, you will be ripped off. Horrible service. Be aware! Only, Some of the appetizers​ was good. read more

Best restaurant in Brooklyn, the most delicious and freshly prepared food!! Highly recommend for everyone to try!!!

Delicious and authentic Greek food! The Youvetsi was so good! Better than in Greece! We will be back! Thank you for a lovely meal and wonderful service! read more

I have been eating at this restaurant for the last 10 years or whenever it opened. It was opened by a Greek gentleman and his Russian wife and the food was always good but expensive. Up until last night I would go and have an expensive Greek dinner and enjoy it. I am Greek so I appreciate the Yivizi and some other Greek dishes which were normally properly prepared. I do note that the range of Greek food has always been limited... Last night I encountered the owners son Managing the restaurant and we ate as a party of four. When the main course was served the Lamb chops were cold and the red wine reduction was not done properly - i.e. it tasted like soy sauce had been used to marinate the chops. We were hungry so we ate them...but we could have as easily crossed the street and bought prepared food at Cherry Hill which would have been better.. The Yivizi which was the focus of the meal as we ordered two serving to share was absolutely horrible. I am not sure how they can let something like this out of the kitchen so I brought the food to the back of the restaurant and the Manager agreed that they did not taste "normal". He would not admit that they had gone off... at this point I noticed the prep team preparing the food in the kitchen were the same Mexican bus boys who make the deliveries. No wonder the food was so disappointing...I doubt the staff have been trained for more than five minutes... So in the end we had a disappointing meal which cost me US$ 450 plus a tip.. Check the price of the wine - They hit me up for US$ 109 per bottle for an absolute average Rose which I expected to be around US$50 a bottle. Really I will not go back and neither should you - A real rip off at this point - be careful ...better to take away from Cherry Hill which is directly across the street !!!!! read more

We came across this place almost by accident, but I am glad we found it. The chicken kebob, pita bread, and hummus were all the best I have ever had. The next time I am in that part of Brooklyn I am stopping back in. read more

I have been to this place twice before and don't remember it being as bad as it was in my most recent visit... aside from the rude hostess, the waiter who messed up our order, my linguine with shrimp that was spicy and the restaurant itself being a bit cold considering the weather, I ordered a shrimp cocktail and to them that means charging me $17.50 for 3 shrimp. That is just ABSURD!!! It is just beyond ridiculous. The food wasn't great and they are way overpriced for nothing! I understand the circumstances now a days but come on! It's actually more of a reason to try and be nicer and provide good service to attract customers and not the other way around just saying... next time I want Greek food I will definitely NOT be coming here again! read more

this is literally the best restaurant on the emmons strip! so good! down to the cookies!! yummmmm

Delicious Seafood by the Bay! I suggest trying the eggplant spread app and the whole fish Branzino. Excellent service and a relaxing atmosphere! read more

Awesome food, really heart warming staff made me feel like I'm at home. Pretty expensive though. Prawns and the cheese was really good. Also the cold appetizers were mouth watering. Totally satisfied with my visit there. read more

Extremely overpriced food and lacking the quality to standby it. Fish was tough, chicken was dry, and the salads were okay. What's even worse, is that the service is disgustingly rude. There was a series of events in which the waitress did something stupid, and when I spoke to the manager he didn't even apologize let alone make it right. He even ended up hanging up on me( the guy has no idea how to deal with customers). My family and I are never coming back again. I'd honestly recommend going to one of the other many restaurants in the area. read more

Food is delicious every time. Great location, right by the water. Parking is everywhere, if you get there around 11am, you can park in any spot. But it fills up pretty quickly. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. Waiters are fast, food is brought out quick. Would definitely recommend this spot for authentic Greek food. Prices are steep, but not unheard of. read more

Attention normal people of Brooklyn: If you're looking to eat a tiny piece of deep fried fish that is $70 then this is the right place for you. However, if you are like most other normal people and like to be charged a normal price for your meal and warned in advance that a one pound fish is $70, then stay far away. Additionally, if you are looking for a owner that has a nasty attitude and will give you her Brighton Beach mouthful while eating your dessert, then you will surely enjoy your meal here. Stay far away if you don't want a $500 disgusting meal. read more

Excellent restaurant. Was brought there by my Russian friend and don't regret it at all. Lobster bisque is fantastic! Four stars for slow waiter who cared about our money more then we did. read more

The service was very friendly, but the food was bland at best. I honestly do not understand what the hype is about. My swordfish was overcooked and hard to chew. Swordfish steak is supposed to be silky and soft, if properly prepared. We were a group of four, and no one enjoyed their entrees. We did not enjoy flavorless and overcooked fish dishes. My company had a fisherman, and I consider myself a seafood junky. Therefore, it can be said that we would know how properly prepared seafood needs to taste. The prices are high for the quality of food. Perhaps, if they learned how to treat fish properly, then the price would match the delivery. read more

GREAT food and AMAZING hosts! As soon as you walk in, you're greeted at the door. The restaurant is well decorated and definitely has an authentic Greek decor. Try the Branzino, grilled octopus, liver cubes, grilled kebab, spread sampler, and definitely finish with a Greek coffee. As you can tell, I've been here a few times... read more

Ever since this placed over couple of years ago I have had a inkling to go but never a chance. This little section of Sheepshead Bay has alot of great Restaurants and usually lost out to Randazzos or Il Forneto etc etc. Very different Greek restaurant, no Souvakis or Any real chicken/beef dishes. A few lambs choices.almost entirley Seafood Oriented with really fresh (almost flapping) fish If you like they even bring out the fish of your choice, kinda of a nice throw back that is very refreshing. in addition with almost clock like precision in the middle of the room another waiter sets a dish on fire and ignites a three foot flame (some sort of flambe) Salads, fish, and spreads are worth the trip. Very nice refreshing (in a retro way) Greek Rest who actually cooks opposed to frying everything. I will go back when I am in the mood for fish. Location is great with the Bay Inlet to walk by after dinner. Decor is well GREEK. Bon Apetite read more

Went there to celebrate, we were a party if 5. Decor is nice. Very pretty place. Staff is nice too although service could be better. Food is okay, not worth the price. Dish presentations were very "Diner like" They had this mixed spread that was the best I've tried for $15 it was the only item reasonably priced. The fish soup lacked salt. Their chowder was okay. Baked clams were good but not impressed. Their swordfish was delicious but the veggies it came with were very ordinary as if at a Diner. The fried calamari were fresh and nicely seasoned. The fries were brown and bitter, overdone in my opinion. read more

Yiasou Estiatorio - Fish soup - Greek Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Family owned restaurant with always fresh and delicious authentic Greek food and great service. Peter and Anna, the owners, always greet you upon entering this warm and cozy restaurant!

I love Yiasou! I come here frequently and their food is always delicious. My favorite dish is the Chicken Souvlaki platter. They have a nice variety of desserts as well. The staff is always very friendly and attentive, It's especially nice to come here during the spring and summer because you can sit outside directly across the street from the Bay. If you are looking for authentic Greek and Mediterranean food, I definitely recommend you give this place a try. read more

My favorite spot in the bay! Yiassou always hits the spot! The food is incredible, the service is attentive and friendly, and the prices are very reasonable.
