Had it yesterday! It was soo good and made fresh! Service was nice and the environment was great. Will come back again!

Great!, great and great! I love trying new foods. First time having fufu. Let's just say this- I will be back...

Street parking can be challenging. They are a little slower at the food being ready but everything appears to be made fresh upon ordering. No alcohol. When I order online all of the menu options aren't available that I desire which usually allows for me not having something I desire because they don't do well with acknowledging the comment section when ordering ahead. Maybe call in is better but I haven't tried that. I enjoy eating their food and so far nothing has disappointed I have had their Chicken it seemed grilled, curry chicken, curry lamb, and granine stew from the Ivory Coast which consist of lamb and small shrimp. The service is as to be expected which is Cordial. The ambiance is busy with carryouts, dining in there is a TV playing music and tables that can seat larger parties.

Yassa was sooooo delicious, definitely one of those places that are deserving of five stars and more. My friends and I came here and had such a great time - one of those meals so good that you hope all the blessings are bestowed upon the small business owner and they and their place keeps thriving. We tried the nem and fataya as snackie appetizers and also tried the baobab, bissap, and honeydew and melon drinks. I enjoyed trying them because they aren't drinks I've really been exposed to before. I wish I remembered every entree we got but I am not exaggerating when I say everything was so delicious. They knocked everything out of the park. All the sides that came with the meals were so good including the plantains and the fufu. I still think about that fufu lol, it was So Good. I am no expert on this cuisine but I have had much more mediocre fufu before and this was exquisite. I would absolutely come here again and if you haven't been, definitely go. So yummy. Staff was also nice.

I loved the curry lamb stew and the Yassa Chicken. It's spicy but well worth it! The service is good and will give suggestions if you are a newbie to the food.

I love their food. I come here about twice a month. I love the fataya, which reminds me of a fried salmon empanada, and they have thee absolute best jollof. My only problem here is that the Aloco (plantain ) isn't always the best.. but they're my favorite spot right now, and has been for 6 years so far.

Food and service and excellent! Ambiance was chill and homey but elevated! Highly recommend

Yesterday I took my son to Yassa to have lunch. My ex husband is Senegalese so I've eaten Senegalese food before even cooked it! The food and service here is amazing! While parking can be a challenge it was totally worth it! I ordered grilled fish, my son's favorite is mafe' ( lamb stew with peanut butter sauce ) soooo good and fataya for an appetizer ( salmon stuffed style empanadas with a sauce on the side)! U have to get the pungent ginger drink or bissop ( hibiscus) . Definitely going back and the owner was amazing & pleasant too! The esthetic makes u feel as if u are in Senegal eating in a cafe .

Overall Thoughts: A homey, spacious restaurant with super friendly service, beautiful decorations, and a solid selection of flavorful, traditional dishes. The prices are reasonable for the large and filling portions. This is a family-owned restaurant I'd always be happy to eat at and support! Food I tried: - Yassa Fish with Djolof Rice (4.5/5): The fish was great-- quite boney and salty, but very tender and flavorful. The soft sautéed veggies on top added a nice kick of flavor and texture. The djolof was wonderfully crispy and wasn't spicy but very well-seasoned otherwise. - Yassa Chicken with Fried Plantains (4/5): The chicken was pretty crispy and juicy, and again, the soft sautéed veggies on top added a nice contrasting flavor and texture. The plantains were flavorful and well-fried. - Maffe with Plantain Fufu (4.5/5): The maffe was good and heavy, with distinct yet somewhat subtle peanut butter flavors. The lamb was very tender, but I wish it came with more-- there were only a couple pieces in there. The fufu had a soft, fluffy texture, and was a good pair to this dish for scooping up the maffe sauce. The fufu itself didn't have much flavor, but it soaked up the flavor of other things pretty well. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.2/5 Food: 4.4/5 Ambience: 4.8/5 Service: 5/5 Overall Value: 4.5/5
