I have been to Yokotai one other time prior to the pandemic and had a great time. Met some nice people and generally enjoyed my evening on the main " farang " strip in Khon Kaen.
The restaurant / bar is under new ownership and management however for those that know this place, it retains all the little charms, perks an atmosphere that made it dear to the heart of many expats living in the area.
Yes, there has been some minor changes and a few upgrades ( like the new classic bar set up they have invested in directly next door) that has expanded and transformed the location into a place worth visiting.
The food is well priced, and what I enjoyed there...delicious.
Had another wonderful time this evening, (albeit 3 years after my first visit due to Covid) and highly recommend it as a nice friendly place to hang out without being smothered by bar girls. Yes the place has lovely servers, happy to share some stories and a few laughs in the perfect way so you don't feel like you are being targeted by street smart bar ladies.
What the restaurant and bar lacks in flashing neon and black lights and loud music it more than makes up as a great place to chill, meet some people and enjoy some food.
This place remains a top spot for me when the wife and I visit Khon Kaen.
