Chez Yasu is one of the top 3 fine dining restaurants in Kansas. The flavors are fresh and bring your taste buds to life! We have been a few times and they absolutely earn 5 stars and are highly recommended.

Why haven't we been here before? We found Chez Yasu by looking for restaurants in Topeka. This one is well off the beaten path and it's camouflaged within a residential area. Don't let the outside appearance of the building fool you, there's delicious French cuisine...Read More

The duck was absolutley delicious. Bread was amazing. The new apple tart dessert was the perfect dessert to top off a great first experience. We'll be back to try the filet.

I visit Topeka often to see my mom, and we've eaten at Chez Yasu with family 5-10 times in the last 10 years. The menu is small and does not vary much, but it is decidedly French and the preparation is consistently very good. Salads...Read More

Met friends here. We enjoyed our time there so much we actually closed the place down. The food was exceptional—from the escargot to the sea bass to the lemon cello cake. Great wine list from the very affordable to the splurge. The owner is …

This was a wonderful find! The rack of lamb was amazing, the scallops were perfect, even the carrots and rice had surprisingly great flavors. The owner was very pleasant to us. We will be back often. See you there!

Service excellent and meals we're very good. I have been going maybe 3-4 times a year for 15 years. It is worth. Trying. The squash soup is incredible as is the duck and salmon. So good I order most times.

Mako Ueno’s Chez Yasu may be relied upon to serve beautifully prepared French bistro fare. We were so excited to discover Chez Yasu in our neighborhood when we moved to Topeka. Both the quality and quantity certainly justify the cost. I …
