YAOTODOS SANTOS · B.C.S
The only vinyl listening bar with contemporary Japanese cuisine in Baja California Sur
RESERVEYAO is an izakaya and vinyl listening bar in Todos Santos, Baja California Sur. Contemporary Asian kitchen, curated records, and a program of resident DJs and guest artists pushing the local scene forward.
Not a restaurant with music. Not a bar with food. Something without a clean category — and that's exactly the point.

The Experience
Every omakase at YAO is a single sitting — a conversation between the kitchen, the vinyl, and the people at the bar. No two nights are the same. Japanese technique, Baja ingredients, and a soundtrack chosen by hand.
★★★★★ Google Review
"One of the best meals we have ever had. A front row view of the chefs preparing course after course — a Michelin star worthy performance. Hit after hit with oysters, scallops, pork jowl, and wagyu. The cocktail pairing starting with a welcome drink on the rooftop at sunset was perfect."
★★★★★ Google Review
"Thoughtful from start to finish — creative without being overcomplicated. The ginger coconut kampachi was rich and silky, the ikura with citrus ponzu bright and clean, and the grilled pork jowl unforgettable. One guest said it was the best dining experience she's had in ten years living in Todos Santos. That didn't feel like an exaggeration."
Japanese techniques, contemporary vision & Baja ingredients
8 courses. 12 seats. One sitting. We take over the kitchen every Thursday — our interpretation of Asian cuisine through a Baja lens, with vinyl soundtrack.
