Sushi Yasuda

Came here for lunch with a friend and we had a great time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious, wooden, bright, and clean. Service is very polite and kind.They have a couple omakase sets that you can choose from but we did the omakase until you stop. All of the cuts that we got were amazing and the variety of the sashimi was very nice. My favorite piece was definitely the unagi with salt (a very different experience than what you normally have with the sauce!!). In the end, we had around 15-17 pieces and the bill came out to be ~$700. Overall, I'm not sure the "eat-till-you-stop" is worth the price, but the sushi was good and I would be down to try their omakase set another time!

Excellent 15-piece $170 omakase in an upscale environment with unbelievable service. Fish was super delicious, fresh and excellent presentation by our sushi chef.Bluefin tuna was a standout as was super fresh Hokkaido sushi, but everything felt fresher and more luxe than even the normal omakase spots in NYC. Top top.Was here maybe 10 years ago and even better than I remembered.

Heard that they were one of the OG omakase spots back in the day so I was glad I got a chance to try their food! Overall felt that their sushi was solid but not sure if its worth the price point. Our appetizer was a special of the day, Sawagani, which were whole miniature soft shell crabs that were flash fried. It was deliciously well-seasoned and wish we ordered more. They have a 12-piece set for $130 and a 15-piece set for $170, as well as other options. It was hard to pick my favorite but my top few were the New Zealand King Salmon, winter hamachi, eel, and probably scallop. The salmon was super tender with a great meat to fat ratio. The yuzu zest complimented the hamachi nicely. The eel was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, but also covered with the sauce. My set also included needle fish, blue fin tuna, yellow tail, icelandic salmon, mackerel, spot prawn, and a shrimp-based broth. The fish were pretty fresh and rice well-seasoned. For some pieces, I felt that the wasabi to sushi ratio was a little high but my partner did not find that an issue. Staff were very attentive and polite. The restaurant was very minimalistic. Would recommend sitting at the sushi counter for an optimal omakase experience! It makes sense for them to be on the pricer side with their high quality seafood imported from all over the place; however end-product flavor wise I felt like was comparable to other omakase places (at lower prices). Would be interested in returning to check out their al la carte items!

This is a good experience but expensive. I did the omakase eat till you're full and I left satisfied but for a $700 bill I wasn't exactly wowed. Service is great and the decor is very woody and bright. I might come back to give this place another chance.

Came here to celebrate a birthday. Reservations were made for the sushi counter at 530. The restaurant is so beautiful natural wood, bright and minimal. Got seated right away and service was excellent from the start. We opted for the 15 piece omakase priced at $170. Also got the cod to share as appetizer as the waiter said it was their most popular dish. It didn't disappoint, the fish was tender and so flavorful--really tasted the sake and soy. The omakase was an excellent experience. Our sushi chef gave us some explanations before each piece. This place really highlights the flavor and texture of the fish with the rice. Each bite was so good. We got a plate of fruits for dessert with a candle to celebrate the birthday. Would come back!

Corporate and sleek are what come to mind when I think of Sushi Yasuda. The floral ikebana arrangements are very welcoming and the lighting of the restaurant goes against what one would experience in a mid 2010s Hollister store. We both ordered omakase (sushi & sashimi combo) with plum wine (option of on the rocks or without). While I've enjoyed plum wine at past restaurants, it felt a bit too sweet so we had to dilute it with ice. For omakase, usually it's an experience done well at bar seating, however we were seated in the dining room area, so it felt less authentic-they also ask when you'd like your final round of omakase to be which feels odd from a price scaling point. How do I know the best part of the fish will come later if I end my omakase round now?We did order cold sake towards the end of the night, but they completely forgot about that, which felt like some oversight from their end given that it wasn't that busy. The uni, otoro, and salmon at least tasted fresh and were highlights of the fish for me!

We have been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally found the occasion to go. We went for my boyfriend's birthday and it did not disappoint. From the moment we stepped inside we felt like we were instantly transported back to Japan. The restaurant is so beautiful and the staff were all so amazing! We did the 15 piece omakase which was definitely enough food for everyone. It was delicious. Definitely the best omakase we have had and best quality fish we have had by far in the US since visiting Japan. All the fish was so fresh and buttery. This place is definitely great for special occasions and an amazing omakase experience!

We had been looking forward to having dinner here.The food was disappointing. We ordered the sushi and sashimi omakase. Many of the fish pieces were not fresh however the sashimi was delicious. The service was great. The servers paid close attention to water and tea refills- they filled it without even asking. They waited an appropriate amount of time in between courses and were attentive without being overly interruptive. The restaurant decor is pretty impressive. Floor to ceiling wood creates a soothing and refreshing atmosphere within the restaurant. The accents were minimalistic and very nicely put together.

Always good here, wish they have more kitchen selection for those who don't eat raw fish, I know it is all about sushi here

I came in with pretty high expectations based on the other reviews but I left feeling very disappointed. The dinner was almost 400 dollars for my husband and I plus my 10 year old kid and we left not full but not loving to food enough to keep ordering.The service was good. The food was only ok but for the price point, a total let down. Small pieces of nigiri but pretty steep prices. You can definitely get the same quality of sushi at other places for a lot less.
