    If you haven't eaten here you need to! The service is always amazing which often makes or breaks an experience. Even dinning out the food is hot and just as good. They have the best accommodations for social distancing on the patio even when it's more chilly outside with heaters sometimes two at each table! Last time I was there they had bubbles for each table outside, cute and safe! The food, WOW the FOOD! It's not cheap and the portions aren't huge but it's exactly what you need in your life. I try to always get whatever the special is because once it's gone it's gone. It's mediterranean, it's Greek, it's Spanish. I can't decide what "type" of food it is but it's everything you didn't know you were missing! Also if you enjoy wine, the have a great selection!

    We were invited by a friend in 2022 for thanksgiving buffet and it was terrific. Since we loved it they gave us gift card for Christmas. We used it for New Year’s Eve(2024 eve)inviting friends but we were really embarrassed by the non appetizing food and carelessly cooked. The picture is shrimp risotto, shrimp linguine and the third campo Lindo chicken.You see the chicken in the shrimp risotto and linguine, we mixed up to throw it away.We didn’t have a single bite. Just picked the shrimp and dump the rest to get fast food to our friend invited. ( we spend including tip around 85.00). The food looked frozen pond the next day. THIS IS NOT THE YAYA I KNEW. Embarrassing!!! I am adding this part after three weeks. I reached out to the manager of YaYa restaurant at the location and talked to him about the issue and even told him I will stop by with the food but he said no you don’t have to do that I will send you a replacement gift card. This was in December 31st 2023. Today is Friday the 26th of January 2024, I have got NOTHING. This means the manager LIED TO ME BEING A DISHONEST MANAGER. THIS IS THE TRUTH. I WISH I GIVE ZERO BUT CANNOT. WHEN A BUSINESS MANAGER IS DISHONEST IT TELLS YOU ALL ABOUT THE PLACE.

    We went to Ya Ya's last minute, no reservations and we were seated right away. Our server, sorry I can not remember his name but he was from Tennessee, anyway, he was one of the best waiters ever!!! He was very knowledgeable of the menu and offered great suggestions. He was great throughout our meal but not overbearing. He was great. Our food was absolutely amazing, I had Pappardelle Bolognese which was amazing. It was perfect! My wife had the Lamb and she said it was incredible. Overall, it was a great night.

    Today the princess and I attended a small memorial gathering in one of the private rooms here. Easy to find with plenty of free parking. The food and service was indeed excellent as the group has earned and maintained a strong reputation by providing a consistently high end product and customer service. We haven't been here in years and we were both happy to see that things haven't changed , still great!!

    Great place for HH, a lively atmosphere, good food and drinks. The staff were all friendly and attentive despite it being busy. The star of the night was the warm bread served with the baba ganoush—soooooo good! BTW-they have HH every day of the week!

    Lunch with co-workers. Bread with baba ganoush was fantastic. Butter cake dessert also highly recommended. Everyone really enjoyed lunch. Quality food all around. Half size portions a bit small.

    Sunday brunch at YaYa's. Where do I start? The amazing the Prime rib, shrimp cocktail, smoked samon, tenderloin hash, lasagna, cheesy potatoes, Red, White & Blue pancake, bread pudding, mix-berry cobler..I could go on and on. If you have not checked their brunch. You should and you will not be disappointed.

    Yaya's offers exquisite small plates. Our gnocchi, mussels, bruschetta, cauliflower and baba ganoush are quite tasty. We did not try their entrées or main pasta dishes today but we plan to return to explore. Butter cake is decadent or shall I say to die for 😍 They have a good selection of wines, cocktails and beers. Our server and service ARE exceptional. Easily our top 3 restaurants in KCKS KCMO areas.

    I loved everything about this restaurant. The atmosphere was relaxing even though every table was full. Our server, Larry, was thorough and speedy and offered insights for any questions we had about the menu. The duck confit was superb, and I understand why it's a small plate; it was very rich. I had expected high prices, but the bill was very reasonable for the quality of the dishes. I highly recommend YaYas Euro Bistro!

    What can I say? All the best dining places are in Johnson County, and I hate that, but I'll drive for good food, and I can truly say this food is wonderful, the duck polenta creamy sweat savory in one bite. The carpaccio im not a fan of truffle oil, but it didn't really affect how much I enjoyed the carpaccio. Now, the shrimp and risotto decadent succulent man, you have to try it

    We had a private dinner for a holiday party here & it was amazing! The food was incredible &the service was absolutely stellar! It may have been my first time, but I promise it won't be my last

    We travel a great deal and have experienced terrific menus. This said, Ya Yas Bistro is a “10”. The food is prepared to perfection, not always the case in other restaurants. Menu is diverse and “has something for everyone”. The hosts and wait staff are friendly and professional…it says a lot for the management. Simply, come relax and have some good food.

    The service was wonderful. Atmosphere was great for a nice date night. The food was good too. The calamari appetizer was cooked perfectly. I loved the is was able to get the recipe for the babaganoush.

    Had a great experience. My boyfriend and I came in requesting patio seating. Chico (not sure on spelling) an African gentleman took amazing care of us. Funny, charming and insightful. I’m a server myself and was impressed on his service and personality. Chico deserves all the 20%+ tips! Drinks were okay, roasted cauliflower was yummy, bread and dip was delicious and my pork chop was perfect. Will absolutely come back for patio dinner with Chico again!

    We had a great server and I really enjoyed my meal. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxing. The appetizers, my meal, and dessert were all delicious. This was my first time trying carpaccio and it was really good. I'll definitely be returning when I'm in Kansas.

    Alara was our sweet and friend waitress. We started off with a sweet sorbet since it was hot outside before diving into our dinner that was so well-balanced with flavor and portion. Thank you for helping us have a lovely date night! 11/10 recommend

  • 5/5 Carrie C. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a fabulous dinner with amazing flavors such as the mussels and the mezze plate, also the truffle fries and the carpaccio, ❤️ to mention a few fantastic plates 🥰🎲 Overall it was an outstanding dining experience with great service and a beautiful venue 🥰

    Great table bread (No butter). The brownie was not what I was expecting but still fantastic. Shirley temples were made with dark cherries. Not what I was expecting but still good. Chocolate cake was amazing! Shrimp risotto was great see.

  • 3/5 Juhi K. 2 years ago on Google
    It was okay overall. The service was very good. The food was just alright. Maybe should asked our server for suggestions. The most disappointing was the chocolate cake. Who puts Hershey's chocolate syrup on a chocolate cake in a high end restaurant?!

    We reserved the banquet room for our wedding dinner. The service was extraordinary and so was the food! It's been over a week later and people are still talking about how great it was! We will continue going there and now I know that they have new clientele from our party. I highly recommend this restaurant off of 135th St and Metcalf Rd.

    Great restaurant, great service, great drinks, beautiful patio. A somehow limited menu but what they have, it's good. The kids pizza is huge and very good, too. The bread and hummus, delicious.

👍👍 Recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Q39 South. We ordered two combination plates with ribs and brisket, but different sides (pictured). The ribs and brisket were fantastic. Excellent rub, cut, and bbq sauce! Our sides—Mac and cheese, fries, and baked beans—were also really good. The Mac and chees...
