Yakinori Japanese kitchen - Selly Oak

We had a lovely time dining at Yakinori Selly Oak! The kids' menu was absolutely perfect – beautifully presented and just the right portion size. The chicken katsu was crispy and juicy, the rice was fluffy, and the curry sauce was rich and flavourful. We especially loved the thoughtful bento box layout, with fresh edamame, cucumber maki, shredded carrots, and those cute little dessert bites! The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, and the staff were super friendly and attentive – they really made us feel at home. A great spot whether you're dining with kids or just craving some comforting Japanese food. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Absolutely love Yakinori Selly Oak! The food is always fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. I tried the Chicken Katsu Curry and honestly, I didn’t expect much—but it completely blew me away. It was way better than I imagined—crispy, flavourful, and just simply awesome. The sushi and ramen are also top-notch. The staff are super friendly and the vibe is really welcoming. Whether it’s a quick bite or a chill dinner, this place never lets you down. Highly recommend!

Lovely food, piping hot and cooked fresh right in front of you! The chefs are excellent at what they do and the service is exceptional: Klara made our visit extra special! We had the teriyaki soba - one with the aromatic duck and the other with chicken and prawn. Food is very reasonably priced and I will be returning!

Thank you to Hasnain who served us! He was so nice and friendly 🙂 The food is always great - especially the chicken katsu!

The food is was incredible and Hasnain was so attentive and gave great service!! Definitely coming back!

We were served by Evan who explained the menu, looked after us and was generally friendly with good recommendations for food. We tried the steak rice bowl, sushi and wok fried noodles, everything was delicious. We had a problem with the drinks, so the manager took them off the bill and made us a new one. Very pleased with the service, thank you!

Love a visit to Yakinori when I'm in Selly Oak its my favourite! We had bento boxes which were great and a bubble tea, you can get boxes to take away if you arent able to finish the food. Service was great from Hasnain and Gemma, would recommend!
