Yokai Tapas & Sake Bar, Richmond City Centre, Vancouver BC

Cozy & Intimate

Yokai Tapas & Sake Bar

Dim light, a sake flight, and small plates you have to negotiate over, which is how a low-key izakaya date runs three hours.

The date

Yokai is the dim, moody end of Richmond izakaya: a sake flight, a short list of small plates, and lighting that flatters everyone. You order in waves, negotiate the last piece, and look up to find it has been three hours. It is the anti-food-court, a room built for talking, and it lands the rare Richmond note of intimate rather than efficient.
