😐 We came to Yuki for dinner. It was pretty empty so we sat at our booth of choice. The waitress brought menus immediately and we noticed the price change on the menu done with white out and pen .

👍👍 I really love this little place. The waitress (I believe also the owner and chef) is super kind and friendly. The food is really tasty and the portions are quite substantial.
