Yakinori is an award winning Japanese restaurant group based in the United Kingdom, dedicated to bringing authentic Japanese flavours, exceptional hospitality, and innovative dining experiences to a wide range of customers. Founded with a passion for Japanese cuisine and culture, Yakinori has grown into a respected multi site restaurant business operating across major cities, serving thousands of guests every week through dine in, takeaway, delivery, catering, and experiential events.

At Yakinori, our mission is simple: to make high quality Japanese food accessible, enjoyable, and memorable for everyone. Our menu combines traditional Japanese cooking techniques with modern tastes, offering a diverse range of dishes including freshly prepared sushi, sashimi, poke bowls, ramen, donburi rice bowls, katsu curries, gyoza, Japanese street food, and a variety of vegan and vegetarian options. Every dish is prepared using carefully selected ingredients, ensuring freshness, consistency, and outstanding flavour.

What makes Yakinori unique is our commitment to combining authentic Japanese cuisine with a contemporary and welcoming dining experience. We are not simply a restaurant operator; we create experiences that connect people through food, culture, and hospitality. Alongside our restaurants, we organise interactive sushi making classes, family sushi workshops, corporate team building events, live sushi stations, and traditional Japanese tuna carving experiences. These events allow guests to engage directly with Japanese culinary traditions while creating memorable experiences for families, businesses, and communities.

Innovation is at the heart of our business. We continually invest in technology and customer experience, including online ordering, click and collect services, loyalty programmes, digital marketing, and delivery partnerships. Through our customer membership programmes and digital platforms, we maintain strong engagement with tens of thousands of customers, allowing us to understand market trends and continuously improve our offerings.

Yakinori is also committed to responsible business practices. We support local communities through educational workshops, family focused activities, charitable initiatives, and employment opportunities. Our diverse workforce reflects our belief that hospitality should bring people together regardless of background, culture, or nationality. We invest heavily in staff training, leadership development, and creating rewarding career opportunities within the hospitality sector.

As a growing organisation, Yakinori continues to explore new concepts and opportunities within the food and beverage industry, including premium Japanese dining experiences, healthy grab and go concepts, dessert bars, catering solutions, and franchise development. Our vision is to become one of the leading Japanese hospitality brands in the United Kingdom while maintaining the authenticity, quality, and customer focus that have defined our success from the beginning.

Today, Yakinori is recognised for its dedication to quality food, outstanding customer service, innovation, and authentic Japanese hospitality. Whether serving a quick lunch, hosting a corporate event, teaching a sushi making class, or delivering a memorable dining experience, our goal remains the same: to share the best of Japanese cuisine and culture with every guest who walks through our doors.
