Halal Japanese. Done Properly.
Japanese food in London had a gap. Millions of people — no Halal option worth knowing about. Yaki Ya! was built to change that.
Halal by design. Japanese by soul. A table that was always missing — now open to everyone.
We serve bold, wok-fired, slow-simmered food made fresh — from our signature teriyaki glazed to order to our 9.5-hour ramen broth. Fast casual dining where the food is taken seriously and the welcome is genuine.
Three branches. 4.8 stars. 3,769 reviews in seven languages. An underserved community brought us to market. Quality kept everyone else.

Halal dining in the UK is one of the fastest-growing food categories.

Hospitality is not a training module at Yaki Ya! It is the standard. The Japanese call it Omotenashi — the art of caring for someone before they even have to ask. We call it how we do things.
A Brand That Gives Back.
Yaki Ya! is not just a restaurant. It is a brand built on the belief that food can change lives — starting with the communities closest to us.
Through the Yaki Ya! Foundation, a portion of every meal sold contributes directly to children and families in need. This is not a marketing initiative. It is built into how we operate — and it travels with every franchise partner who joins us.
Two Hearts. Two Children. Your Meals Made It Possible.
Two children were born with holes in their hearts. Without surgery, their futures were uncertain. Through the Yaki Ya! Foundation — funded by the meals you have eaten with us — both children received the surgery they needed.
They are alive. They are well. You were part of that. Every time you sat at our table.
We don't say this to make you feel good about eating with us. We say it because it is true, and you deserve to know.
Families fed across communities worldwide
Multiple occasions. No borders.
Contributes to the Foundation
Dine-in, takeaway, or delivery
When you eat, you don't eat alone.
Every Yaki Ya! franchise carries this commitment. Your customers are not just buying bold Japanese food — they are part of something bigger without even knowing it.
For franchise partners operating in Muslim-majority markets, this alignment of commercial success and community responsibility is not a nice-to-have. It is a brand truth that resonates deeply and drives loyalty that no marketing budget can manufacture.
Feed Everyone Well. That is not a slogan. It is the standard.

Loved by customers.
Best halal Japanese in London — the teriyaki bowls are unreal. Portion size, flavour, service: all 10/10.
Fast, fresh and packed with flavour. The katsu curry is gold-standard. New regular spot for me.
Wagamama who? Yaki Ya! is on a different level. Yakisoba is fire and the staff are so welcoming.
The ramen broth is genuinely some of the best I've had outside Japan. Worth the trip across town.
Came for lunch, stayed for two more bowls. Spicy koji chicken — life-changing. Will be back tomorrow.
Slick fit-out, fast service, huge portions. Brand feels premium without the premium price.
We come every week. Dorayaki for dessert is a must. Whole team know us by name now.
Best teriyaki bowl in the UK. The sauce alone is worth five stars. Insanely good value.
Loved everything. Vegan options actually slap — yakisoba and tofu katsu were both incredible.
From order to bowl in under 10 minutes and it was perfect. This concept is going to be huge.

Questions.
What experience do I need?+
We are looking for hands-on operators who understand — or want to grow in — the Halal Japanese market. QSR, hospitality, or multi-unit retail experience is valuable. Ambition and belief in the brand matter just as much.
Do I need to be hands-on?+
We strongly prefer operators who are present in daily operations, especially in the early months. An appointed manager is acceptable for multi-unit partners. We want someone who cares about the standard — not just the return.
Is Yaki Ya! fully Halal?+
Yes. 100% Halal. No exceptions. No alcohol. No pork. Halal by design — not by compromise. This is built into the brand from day one and applies to every franchise partner globally.
What territories are available?+
Selected UK and international territories. Speak to us about your preferred location.
How long until I open?+
Typically 6–9 months from signed agreement, subject to site.
