Excellent food! We were a group of 5 and had the hand rolled sushi taco, soup dumplings (veg and non veg), smoky market greens, grilled bagda chingri, comfort coconut pandan curry non veg, hangover rice veg, freebird. Desserts - sebsatian-san cheesecake and tiramisu. Jeremy was extremely thoughtful and very helpful with his suggestions and also brought us a serving of the hong kong egg tarts to taste. Every dish was amazing!! I can't choose a favourite. Great work by the kitchen team and chef. Thank you!

I am not generally the review leaver kinda person - but everything about Yokocho’s food was BANG ON! The mala chicken, the golda chingri, the pork gyoza, and the creamy paitan ramen with pork chasu - OMG, finally a place in Kolkata that gets ramen right! Baffled at the fact that this place has a rating of 3.9 only, while bang average places around the town are all 4-4.5/6 rated! Everything here was a complete 11/10!!

Fantastic dining experience! Every dish-both vegetarian and non-vegetarian was fresh and very flavourful. The bar handles cocktails beautifully - the espresso martinis and gin drinks were excellent. We brought a family group of 12, and everyone raved about the food and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommended!

We booked this place looking forward to a great dinner, especially since it always seems to be fully booked unless reserved well in advance. Unfortunately, our experience turned out to be quite underwhelming. Despite booking ahead, the seating arrangement offered to us was extremely uncomfortable. The table was placed at such an awkward junction that we could barely fit ourselves on the chairs, while waiters constantly passed by carrying huge trays of leftover food and glasses from other tables. We literally had to lean sideways on the collapsible every few minutes just to make way for them, which made the entire dining experience very unpleasant. To make matters worse the AC above us was leaking and water droplets were dripping onto my husbands legs and he had to keep adjusting his chair to avoid the same. A sensible restaurateur would never place a table in such a cramped passage. Coming to the food, I would say it was average at best. Having travelled outside India and tried several Japanese restaurants in the city, I found Yokocho’s food just fine — nothing exceptional. The starters were flavourful and the ramen was decent, although the noodle quality could definitely be improved. Given all the Instagram hype surrounding this place, I genuinely expected something spectacular, but it failed to meet my expectations. The meat portions in the mains were disappointingly small. Also, the dan dan noodles recommended by the waiter were honestly quite bad — we could barely finish half and didn’t even bother packing the rest. I really wanted this place to be great, but overall, I left disappointed.

Way too over hyped. The food and drinks are very very average. Plenty of places that serve better cocktails. The servers are great but the food and drinks aren’t.

We went in expecting a thoughtful fusion of Japanese yatai cuisine and Kolkata flavours, but the meal was surprisingly flat. The bhetki was criminally overcooked, the duck fried rice lacked any real duck flavour or umami, and none of the ingredients truly stood out. What lingered after the meal was a sense of dishonesty. In the ingredients, in the promise. Like so many restaurants elevated by Instagram, this place seems to have mastered the art of anticipation more than the art of cooking. The mythology surrounding it is far richer than the food itself. At these prices, one expects confidence, technique, and memorable flavours. Instead, the experience felt curated for hype rather than taste. Even the much-advertised difficulty of securing a table felt questionable when several tables sat empty during prime time on a Sunday. Good food does not need an algorithm to persuade people of its worth. It speaks for itself. Unfortunately, this meal never did. If you're looking for genuinely exciting fusion food in Kolkata, spend your money at Sienna or Bonne Femme instead. Both understand that innovation means nothing without flavour, and both deliver meals that are memorable for what is on the plate.

I don’t usually leave reviews. Have had some really bad experiences and still said ok maybe they had an off day. But Yokocho forces me to review in the hope to save the public from a terrible experience. Literally everything is terrible. Was made to wait over 30 minutes for a table despite having a reservation. That too they had charged cover. The hostesses at the entrance were terrible. They lacked basic competence. The food was terrible. I have a stomach infection which I’m sure came from the undercooked Bagda Chingri and their inedible sushi roll. All in all the only word that sums it up is terrible.

My eyes were burning, didn’t like the food at all. No taste, staff also not very friendly. Would never recommend
