" Even though the experience had some flaws, I found myself enjoying my time at Yokai Tapas. I particularly loved the creative takes on traditional dishes. Some items were excellent while others missed the mark on freshness. The service was friendly, and although I had to wait longer than I would have liked, it seemed like it might have been busy. I'd recommend checking it out with friends for a casual evening. " (*Curated Review*)
" The restaurant's unique take on izakaya-style dining is refreshing. We sampled a variety of dishes, and while some were highlights, others fell flat in execution. The seared foie gras was particularly disappointing—overcooked and rubbery. It did spoil an otherwise enjoyable ambiance and tasty food. The service staff were friendly, but the overall experience felt a bit uneven. I'll give it another try, but with tempered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
" I finally found a piece of Japan in Richmond! The flavors at Yokai Tapas are unapologetically authentic, transporting you straight to the heart of Japan. We tried a little of everything: the tuna tataki was fresh, nuanced, and the pork belly was beautifully cooked. Service was attentive, and we could tell that the staff are passionate about what they do. Will definitely recommend to friends and come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)
" Sadly, my experience at Yokai Tapas Bar was underwhelming. While the setting was nice and cozy, the food did not live up to the hype that I had built up. A couple of dishes, such as the pork skin, felt lackluster and not very fresh. I was disappointed with the portion sizes relative to the asking price, leaving me feeling underwhelmed overall. Service was decent but not exceptional. Probably won't return for a second visit. " (*Curated Review*)
" Yokai Tapas Bar has a cozy ambiance and showcases some really unique tapas. We loved the oceanic tacos and creamy uni udon, both full of flavor! However, while the service was friendly, it was a bit slow during our visit which was frustrating. But the food was definitely worth the wait. I would love to return to try more dishes!

" Visited Yokai for dinner last night. The decor is quite charming, but I found the food to be somewhat below my expectations. While some dishes like the mentaiko udon stood out with their flavors, a couple of other items felt bland. The service was decent; the staff did their best but seemed a bit overwhelmed during busy hours. Overall, it's nice for tapas, but I think there are better options in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
" Fantastic experience! The meal started off with some refreshing sake which was well paired with the superb tapas we tried. The tuna tataki was exceptional and full of flavor. I love the variety they offer on the menu—it really allows you to explore different tastes. The ambiance makes it a great choice for a date night as well. Would definitely come back for more!
