Restaurant Yuu

Restaurant Yuu is a serene and soulful escape in the heart of Greenpoint, offering a deeply personal omakase experience that blurs the line between tradition and innovation. With just eight seats facing the chef’s counter, every guest becomes part of an unfolding narrative crafted by Chef Yuu Shimano, formerly of Guy Savoy in Paris. The multi-course journey blends classic Japanese techniques with delicate French influences, each dish meticulously prepared and elegantly served. The space itself is calming—minimalist, warm, and focused entirely on the food. Restaurant Yuu isn’t just a dinner; it’s a quiet, exquisite performance where every detail speaks volumes.
