Chez Yasu - Topeka

Chez Yasu is one of the top 3 fine dining restaurants in Kansas. The flavors are fresh and bring your taste buds to life! We have been a few times and they absolutely earn 5 stars and are highly recommended.

This was such a neat place. Everything was wonderful- food, service, and especially the atmosphere. I would love to go back! Sorry I didn't get a better picture of my meal and dessert!!

Lovely dinner with friends. Menu selections were plentiful, food was delicious, service was exceptional, and it was a lovely relaxing place to spend the evening.

This small restaurant has the feel of a classic French Bistro. Small but complete wine list. We started with a green salad. Entrees were fresh. I had the duck, which was served with mashed potatoes and carrots. Duck was tender and moist, not dried out. Wife had fish. with same accompaniments. Again fresh and not dried out. Very good place for Topeka Kansas. Good well paced service.

Finally decided to try this restaurant. Wish we hadn't. The food was below par for French cuisine. The wait staff was pleasant enough and the atmosphere was quaint if a bit dated. Dishes ordered: appetizers crab cake and scallops. Crab cake was ok but lacked some flavor. Scallops were very small as if they'd been halved before cooking. Decent flavor though. Main course salmon in butter sauce with mashed potatoes and candied carrots braised beef short ribs same sides. Presentation was alright... both mashed potatoes were horribly prepared. Waitress stated the chef was new and poured the cream way too fast. Very runny and lacked any flavors I could even taste. The candied carrots were not candied just boiled with a pinch of sugar. Main dishes: salmon was cooked properly but lacked any flavor other than butter we could detect. The braised short ribs were in an overly scorched in red wine sauce that was not seasoned well. Two peices of ribs were also a bit tougher than the others. Waitress gave us a complimentary plate of shrimp and mushrooms and dessert as well trying to make up for the meal. Those were actually good. Overall I'd say new chef hasn't quite got the hang of it just yet or had a very bad night. Do not recommend personally. Bill was around $200.00.
