Event information
Tucked away in a quiet alley in Gardens, How’s Your Yaki brings a slice of Japanese street food culture to Cape Town. From the team behind How’s Your Oni and Kloof Konbini, this intimate izakaya-style spot focuses on simple, fire-driven cooking and a relaxed, communal atmosphere.
The menu centres around yakitori and kushiyaki skewers grilled over open flame, alongside favourites like takoyaki and crispy karaage. It’s the kind of place where dishes are made for sharing, and meals unfold slowly one skewer at a time. Expect bold, comforting flavours without unnecessary fuss, paired with a casual setting that encourages lingering a little longer than planned.
What began as a market stall in 2022 has grown into a small but well-loved local group, and this latest addition continues that trajectory. Minimal, cosy, and quietly buzzing, How’s Your Yaki offers a refreshing take on dining out that's flavour-focused, and rooted in good food and good company.
