My date suggested this restaurant after our original reservations at another spot failed to serve us. Very happy we made this adjustment.
Very friendly staff and waitress who sat us. Their calamari was crispy and cooked right for the appetizer.
My date got the Seafood Paella while I got the pan roasted chicken. We were stunned with the flavors and amount of food for both dishes.
Definitely hit the spot and highly recommend to try this restaurant in the Bronx!

Overall is a great place!
Love the live music, drinks are good, food as well!
Pulpo al ajillo as appetizer is definitely worth it, feels elaborated.
Dessert: chocolate cake , was ok!
When to go: family visiting and you are Latino. Boom
Note: they have pure de yuca . That’s incredible delicious and you don’t find it everywhere !!!

First off, the tables are way too close to each other and not to mention, the tables are small, like bartop tables, which inly holds drinks. The prices here are ridiculous but I guess that’s the price you pay for gentrified Dominican food. We ordered empanadas which were basically cut in half and tasted okay. The oil tasted more than anything. We ordered shrimp and tostones which was $32 for 5 jumbo shrimp In a bland butter sauce and a handful of tostones. I regretted going to this spot because the food is bland, expensive and lacks flavor and creativity. The service was lacking as well, barely came to check on us. Really just wanted to eat quickly and get this terrible dining experience over with. It was just a chore trying to balance the food on the table in addition to feeling like you were intruding on ghe other table’s personal space.

Delicious food and great service at Yukka! The tuna tartare was the standout—so fresh and flavorful. The empanadas were close behind, perfectly crispy and packed with filling. We also enjoyed the seafood paella, which was tasty and well-seasoned. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Highly recommend!

We stopped for an early light lunch after voting at the Riverdale Y. The menu was tempting, we had a delicious Pulpo al Ajillo (flambe) and a Crispy Calamary. Nice and attentive service. Very nice decoration, a well appointed bar with a dinning area and a separate dinning area. Bathrooms with Branch & Vine soap and hand lotion (!). Parking on the street and at the shopping area with Citibank & Key Food’s parking lot across the street on Riverdale Ave. See photos of both areas and the bill to see the prices. We have to come back for a proper dinner!

Had a great experience at Yukka Latin Bistro. Our group of seven was celebrating a birthday, and everyone loved their dishes and complimented their drinks. The food, service, and ambiance were all on point.
The tables are a bit close together, so the large party next to us made it a little challenging to fully enjoy our own celebration. But the live entertainment on weekends absolutely makes up for it. The singer is engaging, fun, and takes all kinds of requests.
Overall, amazing food and good vibes. Definitely coming back.

Yukka Restaurant delivered an unforgettable night from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of bold flavor. The atmosphere was vibrant, upscale, and welcoming, making it the perfect place for a night out or a special occasion.
The highlight of the night was the live singer Henry Henry. He truly set the tone for the entire evening. His voice was incredible, his energy was contagious, and he knew exactly how to connect with the crowd. He didn’t just sing, he created an experience. He brought the ambience, kept everyone involved, interacted effortlessly with guests, and had the whole restaurant smiling, singing along, and enjoying the moment.
Henry Henry’s performance elevated the entire night and turned dinner into a celebration. Combined with Yukka’s great food, drinks, and service, it made for an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Yukka Restaurant, especially on nights when Henry Henry is performing. It is guaranteed to be a great time.

The food was absolutely amazing. I went there last week to celebrate my sister’s birthday and we all had an amazing timd. I really enjoyed the churrasco and yuca fries. Their dessert platter when you order from the prefix menu was also amazing. I enjoyed the guava dessert. They make a really great coconut mojito. The staff was amazing. The ambience was beautiful, and very delicious food, and wonderful live music. It’s definitely worth the trip if you’re in the Riverdale area of the Bronx.

Had a wonderful experience here with food, service and ambiance. We were celebrating a birthday and ordered a bunch of different foods. Started off with the calamari, and the mixed croquettas, which were filled with bacalao and ropa vieja. Then we got seafood paella, churrasco, mar y tierra, garlic shrimp, and lobster mac. Everything was amazing, but definitely the star at this restaurant is their paella. Will definitely be coming back for more food and good vibes.
