Amongst the clutter of a variety of newbie restaurants in Karachi, “Yaki” brings together three of the many enticing Asian cuisines under one roof. Owned by two Cousins, Ali and Daniyal, located at Khayaban-e-Seher, Yaki started about six months back and offers delectable Chinese, Japanese and Thai dishes all at the same time.
The restaurant is set on a serene theme of beige tones with warm lights complementing the ambiance making your dining experience all the more sophisticated and enjoyable. Such neat fashion is in reality an auxiliary to Yaki’s exceptional menu that offers a wide range of mouthwatering starters, soups, main courses and drinks from all the three categories of cuisines.
The most unique of all the experiences at Yaki is their live teppanyaki station where you can sit around at the tables and watch your food be prepared right in front of you. Served with your choice of rice and stir fried vegetables the teppanyaki is offered in four basic proteins and each one is utterly palatable. A similar kind of eating experience is being offered at other restaurants in the city, but the taste at Yaki is incomparable. The teppanyaki area is filled with the aroma of fresh produce and clatter of seasoning shakers once the station comes to life and adds to a magnificent food affair.
“The awareness for Chinese food is comparatively more prevalent among people than that for the teppanyaki hence it is the more running business at the restaurant but once people have a taste of the teppanyaki, they keep coming back for more.” Says Ali, the owner. The Chinese and Thai menu consist of various tempting dishes each of them commendable in their tastes and flavors.
The restaurant’s Japanese food section is incomplete without the mention of extremely appetizing sushi, both raw and cooked. Run by the experienced head chef who has worked at many restaurants in the Middle East, a wide range of sushi is served in a variety of combinations from the sushi bar. The sweet flavor of the crazy crab maki, spicy tempura roll, red snapper maki and salmon nagiris are a few off of the finger tips out of so many others.
Yaki is a one stop complete solution to all your Asian food cravings that will satisfy your taste buds like no other place can. Be it the need for a classic Manchurian and fried rice, Thai Curry with sticky rice or the more intricate flavors of sushi, Yaki has it all, just for you.
