Ukiah Japanese Smokehouse

Created by friends, UKIAH was born out of a true passion for Japanese soul food and southern BBQ. We welcome everyone to relax, eat and enjoy. Currently open 5 days a week for dinner as we navigate after Hurricane Helene - so please bear with us! With a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, a large central bar and dog friendly patio, we hope that everyone will find their perfect spot. Music is a mix of indie, old school, funk and soul. The name? It spells “haiku” backwards, reflecting a little bit on our approach to food… structure and balance, turned upside down… (Also – we liked it…) We look forward to welcoming you.
