Cocktails and Taiwanese small plates in an upscale setting on Thảo Điền street, Yeshi Taiwanese Kitchen draws couples and solo diners looking for something beyond the usual Saigon fare. The wine list and dessert menu get as much attention as the mains, with a trendy-but-cozy atmosphere that works equally well for a quiet lunch or a drawn-out dinner. Rated 4.6 across 715 reviews, it's one of the higher-rated spots in the neighborhood for a reason.
Loved the food – flavourful, comforting Taiwanese dishes that really hit the spot. The only downside is that there can be a bit of a wait to get seated and for food to come out, especially during peak hours. That said, their new cocktails menu are amazing and made the wait feel way more enjoyable. My recommendation for alcoholic drinks: Drunken Tofu, Pineapple Cake Sour and Beef Noodles Highball (that literally tastes like a bow of Taiwanese noodles beef soup but in a highball glass)
I love Yeshi. Everything about this place is great, I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Perfect for a date or a night out with friends, it’s the kind of place where the atmosphere truly matches what’s served on the plate ❤️
I've been waiting a while to try this place and was not disappointed. We walked in shortly after opening and the place was already almost full. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a great atmosphere. We were sat very quickly and the server didn't take too long to come and take our order, yet communication with her was a bit tricky. It felt like she didn't really understand our questions. Other than that, our quick dinner visit to Yeshi was great. While I am no expert in Taiwanese food, all the dishes we ordered were delicious and nicely presented. I felt the flavours were very accurately bold, yet not overpowering. And the eggplant dish really was as good as they say, maybe even better. So, would I go back? Yes, there are so many other dishes I want to try!
The staff are so attentive and welcoming. We were served by Trinh most of the night and she was so kind and lovely. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is fabulous! We will definitely come back.
Absolutely loved our visit! We were a group of three and everything we ordered was fantastic. The dumplings were perfectly cooked—tender and full of flavor. The noodles had great texture and were seasoned just right. The standout dish was the fried chicken with mala cay sauce—super crispy and packed with a spicy kick! We also tried the pineapple beer, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. What made the experience even better was how kind and welcoming the staff were. They took the time to explain the dishes and shared insights about Taiwanese cuisine, which made us appreciate the meal even more. The price is incredibly reasonable for the quality of food and service—great value all around. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic and delicious Taiwanese food!
