" I visited YESS last night and it was an unforgettable culinary journey. From the moment we entered, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The highlight of our meal was definitely the bluefin tuna collar—cooked to perfection with just the right amount of seasoning. The vibe is casual yet upscale, offering a comfortable dining environment. I will definitely recommend YESS to friends and relatives when they are searching for something special! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely incredible experience at YESS! The quality of the fish was astonishingly fresh, and the use of local ingredients really shone through each platter. I had the tasting menu, which was an adventure in itself, each dish more exquisite than the last. The atmosphere is a serene balance of elegance and informality, making it suitable for both celebrations and casual dinners. My only wish is that the portions be a tad more generous, but truly, the flavors were unforgettable. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to YESS, and I was excited given all the hype surrounding it. While I enjoyed the delicate flavors and artistic presentations, it seems to fall short in certain aspects. The pace of service felt a bit rushed, and the portions were underwhelming compared to what you pay. That said, the integrity of the ingredients is evident, and I appreciate their commitment to sustainability. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" YESS exceeds expectations! I was intrigued by their seasonal menu, focusing on the latest local produce. Each dish was wonderfully composed with unique textures and flavors. The atmosphere was lively yet intimate. Although I found the prices on the higher side, it is reflective of the quality. Certainly an experience I will cherish and repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" The core essence of Japanese cuisine infused with modern flair defines the dining experience at YESS. I admired the chefs' dedication to authenticity—they source everything locally. The atmosphere strikes a balance between casual and refined. Though the portions are smaller than I anticipated, the culinary execution is an art form worth witnessing. I look forward to a return visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried YESS and was blown away by the incredible flavor profiles of their dishes. Every bite felt like a celebration of fresh, local ingredients, and the sashimi was some of the best I've ever had. The ambiance is modern yet cozy, making it a perfect spot for a date night. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the seasonal menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to YESS left us with mixed feelings. While the food presentation and the atmosphere were both quite impressive, the flavors did not leave much of a lasting impression. Service was attentive but a bit confusing at times. If you appreciate minimalist cuisine that highlights fresh ingredients, this place might be right for you; however, I was looking for more complexity. " (*Curated Review*)
