Sushi Yasuda

Great place, superb quality, but portions are very small. I mean really, really small. Uni was amazing, o-toro one of the best, the choice of different fish was extensive. But the portions.. For example, sashimi came as 2 stamp-sized slices, about 1-2mm thick. I am used to 3-5 slices, about 5 times the size. If this place had larger portions (don't mind a higher price!) then it would score 6 out of 5. Service was a little over-efficient, but very good.

If you can, make a reservation to sit with Mr. Yasuda at the sushi bar. You will experience pure sushi heaven. My husband took me here for my birthday. We love this place and save it for special occasions. Hats off to those of you who can afford to go on a regular basis-I'm green around the edges. This place is not, repeat NOT for the california roll crowd. It is strictly for those who seek an authentic Japanese sushi experience. If that's what you're looking for, you will not be disappointed. Each carefully cut and crafted piece is sushi perfection. Eat it the way he gives it to you-I assure you it's been prepared the way God intended it to be. If you can afford it, do the omikase. If you're on a budget, try the masa menu (you get to pick your favorite pieces and half of a roll). After you've savored each of those pieces, you can supplement it with the more intriguing things you see on the menu. My personal favorites are the Tasmanian trout and the Peace River oysters. Everything he serves is always in season and I dare you to find them on other menus! I can't say enough wonderful things about the food, the atmosphere or the service. Get your palate ready for an absolute treat!

The sushi here is amazing. It's absolutely authentic-- no fancy rolls (because there are no such things in Japan!), just the freshest, most delicate fish prepared as it would be in Japan. For people who don't know real sushi, they will be looking for wine lists, california rolls and giant pieces of fish eaten with chopsticks and too much soy sauce. If you want real sushi done the right way (delicately sliced, freshly flown in that day, made to eat with your hands and with little seasoning), come here. Make sure to sit at the bar. The sushi chefs here are attentive and absolutely stellar. On the sushi list are checked off the chef's recommendations, and the fish selection is extremely diverse. My husband and I sat at Yasuda san's place at the bar tonight and it was an absolute delight.

I believe this place is overrated. I love sushi, I live on sushi really and I live just block away from it. I tried it once at lunch, and never went back. I just rated Bar Masa. What's wrong with you people...Bar Masa is ok and Yasuda is superb? You must be kidding me. Bar Masa is sublime.

had cousin in from the west coast and had been looking forward to this well-rated sushi dinner for weeks. not only are there no special rolls or unique choices at this way-overpriced restaurant, but the portions are meant for my dolls. the pieces of sashimi are paper thin and extremely disappointing in flavor. the waiters don't speak any english and at dinner time the restaurant was completely lit and bright. no atmosphere AND, there is no wine list, but instead only the choice of a house plum wine or 10 kinds of sake.

Sushi Yasuda is by far the best sushi I have ever had. You can shop for value (Price Fixe for $20 will get you 2 rolls and 5 pieces) or Grandor (Sitting with Chef Yasuda). Either way it is a true treat. The trout is heaven in your mouth and I have not had one bad piece of Sushi and I have now gone once a week for the last 2 months.

Never eaten such a good sushi before. The rice was just perfect: warm and tender. The fish so fresh. I tried different types of eel. The sushi is already seasoned perfectly, so you don't need to put it in the soy sauce or add any wasabi.
