Reviews
– Short rib massaman w/ roti ($34.95): 8/10, pretty good, and it came w/ roti, which the menu didn’t mention! The roti was so crispy and flakey (11/10 stars wow). The actually massaman curry was okay. Thought it would be thicker, but it was lowkey watery, and the potatoes were still kinda hard. Overall flavor was really yummy, and the meat was very tender. Wish there was more meat tho. This same dish at Pranakhon is a LOT better
– Pad Thai Yezo w/ chicken ($17.95): 9/10, I actually really liked this! I’m usually not a huge fan of pad Thai, but this one had really good flavor. The chicken wasn’t tough
Crying Tiger: Grilled NY strip that was flavorful and tender. Also loved the sauce that it came with. I personally prefer my steak a bit more rare, but the flavors delivered
Keaw Tod: Crispy fried wontons with a delicious chicken and shrimp filling. Super snackable and great to share
Short Rib Massaman: Rich and comforting with tender short rib. Loved the roti to dip into the curry too!
Larb Salmon: From the winter seasonal menu. Fresh, citrusy, and tangy in the best way. Definitely balanced out the other dishes
Mango Parfait: I didn’t know what to expect but loved this. Think mango sticky rice meets ice cream parfait
Drinks:
My Summer (mango mocktail): Super refreshing!
Melon Lar (melon mocktail): More syrupy than I expected, but still tasty if you like sweeter drinks
The decoration also amazing and cute.
Staffs were nice , friendly and helpful.
I was said that, because of the snowstorm, we arrived a bit later than our reservation time so we missed Happy Hour. Nonetheless, in our first interaction with the staff, a lovely lady said with a smile that tonight was special and that we could order cocktails with the Happy Hour price anyway. What a way to begin!
What I was most excited about: jazz nights are Friday 8:00pm – 9:30pm and Saturday 7:30pm – 8:30pm. We were grateful to hear (quite on brand) two fantastic Japanese jazz musicians—Mr. and Mrs. Otomo. Mr. Otomo on piano and Mrs. Otomo as vocalist. They are fantastic and played a range of jazz standards and surprise pieces, complete with impressive and ambitious improvisation. What a treat they were to hear. I even spoke with Mr. Otomo after and learned they perform here around once per month. I am excited to hear them again and other ensembles in the future.
Finally, at one point, my date and I we’re talking with one another about our birthdays (mine passed recently; hers is coming up) and without any notice, as we were wrapping our the bill, the server comes around with two shots and says “Happy Birthday to you, enjoy!” Unreal.
Plenty of reviews talk about the food, so I’ll let them take the reigns. There is too much to like about Yezo and the food deserves praise. I lived in Thailand for a month and have studied its culinary signatures, so I know the cuisine well. The tom yum noodle soup was delicious; just perfect. I’ll leave it at that.
Dare I say, one of the best and unique Midtown dining options. Thank you to the team, and until next time!
