Yaya is the kind of small restaurant that you will sneak into when you want to eat something good. There are no fancy gimmicks, the dishes are cooked in a down-to-earth manner and you don't feel tired to eat. It is suitable for a person to eat slowly after work, and it is also suitable for a date with a friend when he is too lazy to think about the restaurant.
