  • YUKI in Makati Brings the Flavors of Hokkaido to Your Plate
  • Tucked away from the busy street of Makati City is YUKI—an all-day cafe serving Japanese eats and delights that will surely float your boat. 

    Born from a love of food and travel, the restaurant brings flavors from Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost region, to your plates. 

    For starters, you’ll love their Ramen Salad (Php 180) as it’s light in the tummy. This dish features ramen noodles that are tossed in a sesame oil dressing and topped with vegetables, crab sticks, and egg.

    Consider trying their Carbonara (Php 320) for the mains. This take on carbonara is made with egg, butter, parmesan, cream, and bacon. The flavors blend well together, creating a delectable finish. 

    Note that all the pasta dishes at YUKI are made with spaghetti.

    If you’re more of a rice person, their Hamburg in Curry Sauce (Php 250) is for you. 

    What’s good about this dish is that while it boasts of a curry flavor, it doesn’t overpower the overall taste.

    They also have Prawn Tempura (Php 290) that is surely a favorite among foodies. You’ll enjoy the crunchy outer layer and the succulent shrimp that this classic Japanese dish can offer. 

    YUKI’s Prawn Tempura is served with a side of vegetable tempura.

    However, if you’re looking for something lighter, they have a variety of sandwiches like the Egg Salad & Cucumber Sandwich (Php 220) served with nori-seasoned potato chips. The sandwich is ideal for those who want to eat a quick lunch or grab a snack to-go. 

    Other sandwiches include Shrimp & Crab, Ham & Cheese, Ham & Egg, and Tonkatsu & Cabbage Slaw. Prices may vary per sandwich.

    Further, try the crispy Liege Waffles (Php 240) that is served with sprinkles of pearl sugar. Their Matcha Azuki flavor is worth noting as it brings forth flavors of Japan with their azuki or red bean paste, which is commonly used as a filling for the ever-famous taiyaki. 

    You can also sample the waffles in Banana Nutella, Choco Strawberry, Mango Dulce de Leche, Fruits and Cheese, and Simple (maple syrup and butter).

    You might have heard of those airy and soft Japanese pancakes. Well, YUKI has its own take on Japanese Pancakes (Php 240) served with a fruit cup, maple syrup, and whipped butter. 

    Note that the pancakes are made fresh to order and usually take 30 minutes to prepare.
