Yoli

I came last Monday for my birthday when I heard about their 5 course menu option. It exceeded my expectations! Everything was unique, quality and delicious. Highly recommend. They even were short staffed but still managed to do the 5 course for my bday and quality was not lacking. If you want to try something new and delicious in Bend without the elite that comes with a price tag in so many restaurants in Bend check out Yoli!

Wow wow wow this food is soooo good. I was in love with everything I tried but especially loved the fried cauliflower and beef bulgogi bibimbap. If you go, do the tasting menu! The soju flight was a fun thing to have to drink as well! Will definitely be back and recommend to all I know

Authentic and Inspired are two different meanings, so if you're looking for a homestyle Korean meal, you're not gonna find it here. But don’t worry, the food is still ok and would recommend visiting at least once. I had high hopes after seeing good reviews and the chef’s background, so i was surprised by the service given to me. I grew up with Korean Culture and their food, and it was my first time seeing jjigae without its usual fiery red color and with soft tofu, hotteok shaped like empanadas, and lack of banchan (side dishes) served. They serve 3 different types of kimchi and extra $$$ if you want others. Reading their restaurant description, its definitely upscale korean inspired food, but I could safely say they are made for the Western palette. If you don’t or cant handle spicy, this place is great. If you’re in a rush, service may be slow during busy hours around 1pm. Ambiance is great but parking is difficult. As previously mentioned, the place is upscale so expect upscale prices. TLDR: great for people who want an introduction for fancy Korean food without the spicy stuff and extra sides.

I went to Yoli this Saturday, and let’s just say it did not disappoint. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. The food was amazing, especially the crispy octopus, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The lettuce wraps were also fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. One thing I really appreciated was how much food you get for the price. The portions were more than fair, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. You can tell they really care about quality and presentation. The service was just as impressive. It looked like there were only three people working, but they handled everything smoothly and efficiently. There was a young guy helping out not a main server, but more of a helper and he was doing a great job keeping things moving. He was polite, quick and also explained things really good. Even though they seemed busy, the whole team worked really well together. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back.

Great flavors, friendly staff, and exceptional value for the quality. Would highly recommend the 5-course option to really dive into the menu. Don’t sleep on the steak! It’s incredible!!

I will NEVER get over how good Yoli is, and how lucky we are to have them. Incredible food, family owned + operated, and such a wonderful meal. The food is amazing. We both did the 5 course meal, it’s $60 per person, and OMG. So much food. Like, kind of insane? And not a quantity > quality situation. It’s…both? Also, an extra wild bonus is that almost everything - including fried things is gluten free AND those without sensitivities/ allergies are none the wiser because it’s all just…great. It’s just a freaking gem, run don’t walk. (The pictures do NOT do it justice).

Best meal I had in Bend. The food here is creative, delicious, and non-pretentious. We got the tasting menu for $60 a person and it was 100% worth it! The corn cheese was probably the standout dish, but the Kalbi SSAM with banchan and the bibimbap were spectacular. I would recommend Yoli to anyone visiting Bend who wants a meal they will remember for a long time. (All photos are dishes ordered off the tasting menu)
