Yakinori Wins Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year: Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey

We are incredibly proud to announce that Yakinori has been awarded Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year at the Midland Food, Drink & Hospitality Awards.

Receiving this prestigious award is a defining moment for Yakinori. And, one that reflects the passion, dedication, and commitment of our incredible team across every one of our restaurants. To be recognised among the Midlands’ thriving hospitality industry is an honour, and we could not be more grateful.

A Milestone Worth Celebrating

Winning Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year is about much more than receiving a trophy. It recognises the hard work that goes into every dish we prepare, every guest we welcome, and every experience we create.

Our goal has always been to deliver authentic Japanese food alongside exceptional hospitality. From comforting bowls of ramen and freshly handcrafted sushi to our popular katsu curries, donburi, bao buns and family sushi-making classes.

This award inspires us to continue doing what we love while constantly striving to provide the very best experience for our guests.

A Reflection of Our Amazing Team

This achievement belongs to every member of the Yakinori family.

Whether they are preparing fresh ingredients in the kitchen, greeting guests with a smile, or managing our restaurants. Every member of our team has contributed to this success by supporting the business behind the scenes.

Their passion, professionalism, and dedication are what make Yakinori special. This award is a well-deserved recognition of their hard work across all of our locations.
