"Leckere Burger war mir etwas zu trocken. Truthahn Speck war etwas zu sehr labberig. Pommes ganz ok. An kalten und regnerischen Tagen gibt es nicht so viele Sitzmöglichkeiten im warmen. Finde den YaYa‘s Burger in Katernberg etwas besser."

"Unsere Kinder wollten unbedingt mal einen Smashburger probieren, weil es momentan so im Hype ist und wir müssen echt sagen, dass der Smashburger von Yajas den Hype wert ist. Die Burger haben uns alle total umgehauen und vom Preis Leistungsverhältnis war es auch super!"

"Wir waren bei Yajas Smashburger essen und waren rundum zufrieden! Die Bedienung war sehr nett und aufmerksam, und die Burger waren richtig lecker, saftig, frisch, halal und perfekt zubereitet. Das Ambiente war im amerikanischen Stil gestaltet und hat super zur Stimmung gepasst. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!"

"Das ist einfach der beste Burger den es hier gibt - im gesamten Ruhrgebiet! Und ich hab fast alle probiert. Der istbsogar noch ein bisschen besser gemacht, als in Katernberg. Und der kommt sogar ran an den Smashburger von Goldies (die Kenner wissen, was ich meine). Also wer einen der besten Smashburger überhaupt möchte: Geh zu Yaya! Die haben auch die legendären Martins Potatoe Buns. Einfach genial!"
