Really solid, no-frills spot for your casual sushi fix. This is my third time here, and each time I leave feeling fully satiated. We walked in on a Sat evening without res, and were lucky to have just preceded the dinner time rush. Super cozy interior, and staff is very attentive and efficient.I've always ordered the sushi deluxe, which at $29, is really bang for your buck. This time, I ventured out and tried:- toro tartar -- while not as intricate as the toro tartar I anticipated, it was so. delectable. There were bits of chopped daikon mixed in, which I looove when paired with minced toro. - sushi omakase ($60) -- the fish cuts were definitely better than the sushi deluxe. However, as it still does not compare to the omakase pieces of a dedicated omakase spot, next time I would probably opt for the $29 one again.- we also ordered the warm sake, prices were honestly so reasonable for all the drinks (esp for nyc), would order this again.

Had a great Valentine's dinner here. The menu is a little confusing. If I were to go back, I'd just go off of the $5-8 menu of maki rolls. None of the specialty rolls like the rainbow roll were amazing and 2x the price. The inexpensive spicy tuna was one of our favorites. Friendly service. Busy night so we got tasty miso soup to hold us over. Good about filling waters. For 6 rolls, about $100. Again, I'd get the tastier cheaper rolls, no specialty.

My friend and I came here simply because we were craving sushi. We came in around 6pm on a Saturday without a reservation expecting a wait. However, the host could seat us as long as we could finish within an hour, which was fine since sushi isn't a meal you need a ton of time to eat. It's a smaller place but it doesn't feel cramped with all the seating they managed to fit in there.We both ordered the sushi deluxe (I chose the spicy salmon roll) and it was pretty good! All of it tasted fresh, the rice had a good amount of vinegar, and having a choice in the roll rounded out the experience. The one issue was some of the nigiri pieces had a bit too much wasabi, overpowering the flavor. It honestly wouldn't have been such an issue if it was a consistent amount, but the varying levels made each piece a different experience.

Top tier sushi spot in the UWS serving high-quality fish at affordable prices.My boyfriend and I booked a reservation online for noon and were sat immediately. The inside is rather small, but they pack a decent amount of tables.We ordered 2 sushi deluxes because omakase isn't available during lunch. Great, fresh assortment of fishes & each came with a roll of your choice. We left feeling extremely satiated and happy. Love this place.

This is our go-to spot for sushi in this part of NYC. The atmosphere is calm and enjoyable, making it a great place to unwind. When we visited for lunch, we appreciated the complimentary hot tea--it was a nice touch. Service was quick & average. The sushi rolls here are excellent, and we highly recommend the salmon sushi rolls if you're a fan of salmon. We also tried the fried soft-shell crab, which was perfectly crispy and served with delicious fried vegetables. While the sashimi was fresh, we found ourselves preferring their well-crafted rolls.Overall, this place offers a wonderful dining experience with consistently great food.

This was probably one of the worst sushi I had.There was a wait for dinner here, heightening my expectations. The waiter took a bit to take our orders too, whether because of the crowd or to allow us to take our time choosing. The nigiri was smaller than other sushi places'. Their rolls were also barely holding on. A couple pieces broke upon picking them up. The avocado ratio exceeded the fish tremendously. Worst of all, the tuna nigiri had the worst fishy taste to it!This was luckily in the area, but I would avoid coming here if I want quality sushi.

I visited Yasaka Sushi for dinner before a show, and overall, it was a great experience. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the sushi was delicious. The staff was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.The seating was a bit tight, so it wasn't the most spacious, but it worked fine for a quick dinner before heading to the Beacon Theater, which is conveniently nearby.If you're in the area and craving good sushi, I'd definitely recommend Yasaka.

Sushi Yasaka is a solid place for sushi at a pretty good price. We come here whenever we're in the neighborhood and our last experience over the weekend for dinner was good. Service is nice and met our requests as needed.Sushi itself was good too. Personally think for the price, it's pretty good. I was particularly hungry so got the larger Miyabi plate and left satisfied. Also got the tofu which is always a good choice.Vibes are cute and intimate. Good for a date or just a nice time over dinner. Definitely expect to be back next time we're in UWS.

I came here because I was craving some good sushi. The ambiance is very casual (good to come with family or friends) and the service was very friendly and fast.In terms of the food, I ordered the sushi deluxe menu with spicy salmon roll. I also added 1 piece of California uni. The uni was definitely the highlight or the dinner-- I'd order multiple pieces of uni if only it wasn't as expensive! The other sushi pieces, however, were pretty great too-- you can tell the fish quality is good and that the slices of fish are thick, not skimpy.

This was my favorite meal while in NYC a couple weeks ago. The chef's tasting sushi was fantastic! It was weird tho b/c there was one of each and it was shared so I had to bite half of one piece of sushi and keep it balanced for my partner to get an equally delicious bit lol The beef negimaki was heavenly. It was an absolute star dish! Thinly sliced been wrapped around scallion. The mushrooms!!! Mushrooms are in the glow up phase yo! I mean these mushrooms were like a freaking delicacy! Seating was nice and cozy as most nyc dining proves to be. Service was great. This place was hopping and super popular. We walked to riverside park to pass the time (45 min wait) until our table was ready. It was gorgeous. I don't remember the names of each sushi item we were given because it was chef's choice. There was sea urchin tho and that was my first time having it. Not a wow factor there but it was decent. Another review ginning it to you straight, no chaser! Enjoy!
