Shiitakeya is a small family run Japanese restaurant at 19 Walmgate in York city centre. Wing and Stella operate it as both an eat in venue and takeaway, using fresh British meat and essential ingredients sourced from Japan to give the cooking a clear sense of place and tradition.
Japanese set meals provide a balanced way to dine, bringing a main preparation together with rice and supporting accompaniments. Ramen, udon and yakisoba offer contrasting noodle styles, from warming broth to a quicker stir fried plate.
Gyoza and other smaller dishes can begin a meal or be combined for sharing. Meat, seafood and tofu appear across the selection, while vegan choices give plant based diners more than a simple modification of one dish.
The compact room and continuous daytime to evening service make Shiitakeya practical for lunch, a casual dinner or food to take away. Its focus remains direct and personal: freshly prepared Japanese comfort food served by an independent family business in the heart of Walmgate.
Address: 19 Walmgate, York YO1 9TX, England
