FAQ/Important Details:

What is Yatai?

Yatai refers to traditional Japanese street food, typically served from mobile food stalls during festivals. These casual dining experiences are where friends gather to eat, drink, and socialize—often while walking around. Seating is usually minimal or nonexistent.

At our Summer Rooftop Party, we recreate this festive street food atmosphere. While some seating will be available, space is limited. Please enjoy your meal and allow others to use the seating once you're finished. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding.
