When you eat, you don’t eat alone.
Every meal you order does more than feed you.
Yaki Ya! Foundation — Food with Heart
Our Mission.
We believe food is care, and care is meant to be shared. Yaki Ya! Foundation supports children in the UK and beyond with nourishing meals, education, essential medical care, and crisis relief — delivered through trusted UK-registered charities.
Every time you sit down for bold Japanese flavours at Yaki Ya!, you’re helping us extend that comfort to a child who needs it most.
This Is What Your Table Has Done.
You didn't donate. You just ate. And that was enough.
Every meal ordered at Yaki Ya! quietly contributes to something bigger. Through the Yaki Ya! Foundation, the restaurant sets aside a portion of its profits — and your loyalty is what makes that possible. Here is what has happened so far.
Born with holes in their hearts. Now living full lives.
Across multiple occasions, in communities that needed it most.
Not a donation. Not a charity box. Just food that went further.
How It Works.
A portion of every meal goes directly to the Foundation. When you order — dine in, collect, or delivery — you are quietly funding something real. This is not a rounding-up scheme. It is not a charity box by the till. It is built into how we run.
Want to go further? Round up at checkout. Donate directly. Join a fundraiser. Every action becomes part of a larger story — one that already includes two children with healthy hearts and over 700 families with a warm meal.
We channel support via UK-registered charities for transparent, effective impact — from hot meals to education, essential medical care, and crisis relief.
Why It Matters.
When you enjoy Japanese street food with us, you’re also helping a child enjoy a meal, receive care, and find hope. Together, we can turn everyday meals into extraordinary acts of kindness.
One bowl at your table can help create another bowl somewhere else — for a child who needs it far more than we do.
Our Promise.
Every donation is handled with care and accountability. We prioritise transparency, safeguarding, and due diligence so help reaches where it’s needed most.
We work only with trusted UK-registered charities and partners, regularly reviewing how funds are used to maximise real-world impact for children.
This Is Your Impact. Not Ours.
We built the table. You filled it. And because you kept coming back — with your friends, your families, your colleagues, your communities — children have been healed and families have been fed. We are just the kitchen. You are the reason any of this is possible. Thank you for eating with us.
The Yaki Ya! Foundation is a community initiative operated by Yaki Ya! Ltd. All funds are distributed through trusted UK-registered charities and verified partners. We publish our impact openly — because every person who eats with us deserves to know what their meal made possible.
