What People Are Saying About Yose Restaurant

In Short – Longtime home of Rockenwagner, the space has been updated with a sleek minimalism playing off high wooden ceilings, rough-hewn beams and polished cement flooring. Huge white paper lamps glow over sleek black tables and leather banquettes; a mod lounge and inviting patio finds an artsy Santa Monica crowd sipping soju cocktails and premium sakes. Dishes include braised shiitake mushrooms with avocado yuzu dressing, king prawn tempura, bulgogi bibimbap, and filet mignon with red wine ginseng sauce.

AMAZING FOOD+SERVICE!
by phinnie
I've been here several times, each time thinking that this place would have caught on by now. It's that good. The sushi is great, as well as the korean stir fry dishes. Presentation is pleasing to the eye, and the service is top notch! We try to go here whenever we're in Santa Monica. Everyone we've recommended this place to loves it, as well.
Location is hidden, so probably why they don't do as well as they should. I really want this place to succeed! Check it out!
- Pros: Top notch food+service
- Cons: Hidden - it's behind Ben & Jerry's on Main St.

Korean-style tapas bar
by liz_b
We happened to visit during Happy Hour, in which the menu items were half-priced. We ordered various dishes to try out the menu. My boyfriend ordered tofu salad and a sushi roll that we shared. I cannot recall the type of roll for some reason. I ordered bulgogi bibimbap (Korean dish) and freshwater eel sushi. He had a pinot noir while I ordered a lychee martini. It was so good! I was surprised to see full-sized dishes rather than smaller Happy Hour bar dishes. They were so attentive, a very Korean style of waiting on the customer. They even give you quarters to feed your meter.
The only problem I forsee for them is that the place is very hidden, in the back of a shopping plaza. We happened to be walking around, looking for a restaurant. We were lucky to wander in. If we hadn't read the signs on the shopping plaza, we never would have bothered. That said, we really lucked out. They serve very good food. Not traditional Korean, but more like a fusion Korean-Japanese-Californian. I'm coming back again and again!
- Pros: food is excellent, especially for happy hour. great service. if you can find parking, you can feed the meter with their quarters.
- Cons: no parking lot, so you will have to hunt for parking. it's very hard to find, in the back of the plaza.
