Definitely one of the best meals I had in Saigon!!! I stumbled upon the restaurant on Google map because it’s close to my homestay, and it was the perfect dinner to end my trip here. I ordered the Wagyu don and it was exceptional; it’s so simple yet so delicious thanks to the quality of the ingredients. And pairing it with the warm dashi is truly amazing. I tried the Unagi don and it was so good as well. Definitely check out the chilli powder and the sauce they leave on the side too. The atmosphere is also really private and comfortable, as each table is separated by a curtain. The staff is professional and friendly. Highly recommended!💯

i had such a great time here! had the wagyu and unagi hitsumabushi set and it was spectacular; having it with broth was definitely my favourite (i asked for the free refills for broth and the toppings twice). the servers here are also really attentive and nice! the vibe was also wonderful: the interior, music, curtains between each table made me feel really relaxed. the curtains also made my dining experience feel more private and comfortable :)
Had a chance to try both the eel bowl and beef bowl at Unagi Yosakura! The atmosphere is really peaceful, though the tables are a bit on the smaller side. But the food and service completely made up for it! The eel was incredible—super tender and delicious. Little tip: definitely order it with the egg topping and eat it with their dashi broth—it's super tasty and elevates the whole meal! On top of that, the staff was extremely attentive and thoughtful throughout our dinner. My only slight regret is that they open a bit late at 5:00 PM, so you can't drop by for lunch. Still, highly recommended and I'll definitely be back for the eel 😋
We decided to celebrate here a very special ocasion and it was a great decision!! Even the food was incredible and amazing, the best was the atmospehere and the workers we met there. They helped us in everything, being so gently… we recomend to come here with no doubt! Thank you so much for everything❤️❤️
If there is one thing I appreciate about a restaurant, it is when they focus on doing a few things exceptionally well instead of trying to offer everything. That is exactly what Unagi Yosakura does. The menu is refreshingly simple with only three main choices: Wagyu Don, Unagi Don, or the ultimate combination of Wagyu and Unagi Don. When a restaurant keeps its menu this focused, it usually means they are confident in what they do best. During our visit, we ordered the Wagyu Don and the Wagyu Unagi Don, and both dishes were outstanding. The Wagyu was undoubtedly the star of the meal. Perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavour, every bite simply melted in the mouth. The quality of the beef was evident from the very first bite and left a lasting impression. The Wagyu Unagi Don was equally enjoyable. The rich and buttery Wagyu paired surprisingly well with the sweet and smoky unagi, creating a combination that felt indulgent yet balanced. It is the perfect choice for anyone who cannot decide between the two. What I loved most was the restaurant's confidence in keeping things simple. There are no distractions, no overly complicated menu, just quality ingredients executed exceptionally well. The food looked every bit as good as it tasted. In fact, I think the photos tell the story better than words ever could. If you are a Wagyu lover, Unagi lover, or both, Unagi Yosakura is definitely worth visiting. Simple menu, specialised concept, excellent execution, and absolutely delicious food.
