At Yaki Ya!, awards are more than trophies. They recognise what we set out to build from day one: Japanese Halal Comfort Food, responsible choices and welcoming restaurants where people genuinely enjoy spending time together. From Chicken Katsu Curry and Teriyaki Bowls to Yakisoba, Ramen and Bento, Yaki Ya! brings together Japanese-inspired flavours, 100% Halal ingredients and the warmth and satisfaction of comfort food.
ARTA
NORTH LONDON RESTAURANT OF THE YEAR
Yaki Ya! was recognised as North London Restaurant of the Year at the Asian Restaurant & Takeaway Awards (ARTA) — an important milestone for a London-born brand built around Japanese Halal Comfort Food.
Our mission has always been simple: make exciting Japanese food accessible to Halal-conscious diners without compromising on flavour, choice or experience.
Being recognised by ARTA demonstrated that Japanese Halal Comfort Food can compete alongside some of the UK’s most established restaurant concepts while creating its own distinctive place in London’s diverse food scene.
UBER EATS
SUSTAINABILITY & CLIMATE IMPACT FINALIST
Great comfort food should come with smarter choices.
Yaki Ya! was recognised as an Uber Eats sustainability and climate impact finalist, reflecting our commitment to reducing the environmental impact associated with takeaway and delivery.
As a growing Japanese Halal Comfort Food brand, we introduced plant-based, sweetcorn-based takeaway packaging as part of our effort to move away from conventional packaging wherever practical.
For us, sustainability isn’t separate from the customer experience. From the food inside the box to the box itself, we believe every detail matters.
Great food. Smarter packaging. Less unnecessary impact.
BRITISH ASIAN RESTAURANT AWARDS
BEST HANGOUT RESTAURANT
Japanese Halal Comfort Food. Made for sharing moments.
Yaki Ya! was crowned Best Hangout Restaurant, recognising something fundamental to our brand: Yaki Ya! is more than somewhere to simply eat.
Customers come for Japanese Halal Comfort Food, but the experience is designed to make them want to stay.
Friends meet here. Families share tables here. Students catch up here. Colleagues unwind here. Birthdays happen here. Sometimes customers simply come for a Katsu Curry or Teriyaki Bowl and end up staying for the conversation.
Our 100% Halal menu also helps bring different people around the same table. Customers can enjoy Japanese-inspired comfort food knowing that Halal isn’t an afterthought at Yaki Ya! — it’s part of who we are.
That’s why we say:
We don’t just serve food. We create hangout experiences.
JAPANESE HALAL COMFORT FOOD.
BORN IN LONDON. BUILT TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.
Each recognition represents a different part of the Yaki Ya! story — our food, our people, our sustainability commitments and the communities that choose to hang out with us. Together, they represent what we’re building.
