I'm sad to say that Yona appears to have closed its doors. One of our favorite dinner spots in town, we're going to miss everything from the wonderful fried brussel sprouts to the incredible steamed buns with delicious fillings to tasty ramen... not to mention some terrific house cocktails. I can only hope that Yona returns under new ownership, but the same recipes. Ballston doesn't have anything even close to what Yona brought us each time we visited.

This happy hour is perhaps the best kept secret in the neighborhood- I almost don't want to share it. The HH menu is a steal- sit at the bar and watch the magic of the rolls being made. The steamed buns are amazing- you will not be disappointed! Great gem!

I love the kanikama roll. It has shrimp tempura and crab meat in it. I ordered this roll on my visit and was disappointed with the presentation. I pointed out the discrepancy with the waitress and was told the chef has freedom to show creativity. The roll was made with what was stated on the menu (3 basic ingredients of rice, shrimp, and crab meat) and no further offer to replace or change the roll was made. I ate the roll as is but wish the owner(s) would stress consistency when preparing their sushi rolls. Most days the kanikama is amazing but on this day it was dry and lacked substance.

This was my second visit in two weeks. We liked it so much the first time that we decided to come back with a couple of friends and we were not disappointed. The food was still great. However, there was one thing different. The first time we ate in September we ordered Donburi with rib eye beef and it came with sliced beef which was just awesome. This time the dish looked different, more like shredded beef instead of the slices. While still delicious, the sliced version was heaps better. It looked better and seemed to taste better the first time. Other than that, everything else was great. The edamame could have used more salt. The service was also very friendly and attentive.
