I am already excited to return to Yuri! This was a hidden gem we stumbled upon in a large plaza in the Evergreen area. It was moderately busy but had plenty of tables for customers in regular seating areas, bars, and various booths. The overall atmosphere was tranquil, quiet, and politely welcoming.Yuri has both Japanese and Korean options. They have some Korean entrees, sushi, and bento boxes, to name a few menu categories. I ordered the Bulgogi bento box, which came with miso soup, a side of salad, an orange slice, a large bowl of rice, a generous serving of bulgogi, gyoza, and tempura - all fairly priced. I loved the savory bulgogi and the tempura, although I gave my friend the shrimp one because I have a shrimp allergy. The other tempura were covered potatoes, and at first bite, I experienced crispiness and a melt in my mouth. After indulging in everything in my bento box, I was satisfied but did not feel too heavy after. It was the perfect portion size, and I also appreciated the excellent service my party received.

What a gem! Yuri Japanese Restaurant may be a small spot, but don't let the size fool you--the sushi is phenomenal. I was so impressed with the quality and freshness of every bite. Honestly, this is some of the best sushi I've ever had.The atmosphere is cozy and unassuming, which makes it even better when the food absolutely blows you away. If you're a sushi lover, this place is a must-try. I can't wait to go back!

My mom and I frequented Yuri Japanese Restaurant over the years. They have been around since 1986 with the same owner! Congrats!They are located in a large shopping plaza with Lucky Supermarket, CVS Pharmacy, Evergreen Panda, Lee's Sandwiches, etc. There is plenty of parking available.The restaurant is very spacious and has different seating options available, like table, tatami, and sushi bar. In the past, we've ordered their bentos, and some sushi. Tonight, I was able to visit with them again. Since, I already ate dinner, I just picked up a California Roll. Traditional kani stick and avocado only. The rice was lightly seasoned with vinegar. The avocado was nice and soft.The owner is super friendly and nice.Overall, 3.5 stars but rounding up for service and quality of food.

It's great to have a sushi restaurant in my neighborhood! The sushi is fairly fresh, and other menu items like bento boxes, teriyaki, and tempura are decent. However, appetizers like Yakitori and Agedashi Tofu could use some improvement. Personally, I don't think they use authentic Japanese soy sauce brands like Kikkoman or Yamasa, which really affects the overall flavor for me and dampens my appetite.

Date of Interaction: 2024-01-22TL;DR:- Actual Rating: 4.2/5- Rounded Rating: 4/5- A quaint and cozy Japanese restaurant that provided an enjoyable sushi experience.Food:- Chirashi (4/5): This had a generous portion of thick slices of fish, and they were decent cuts at that--definitely a high value for the price spent! - Flashbang Roll (4/5): A salmon and salmon skin roll topped with some thin-cut lemon slices; I found it tasty and refreshing, though I and my wife did find the lemon slices just a little bit too thick and overpowering.Ambiance:- Space (4/5): While the linoleum floors and floormats feel a bit out of place, it's still a nice cozy space with nice Japanese styling and elements.- Noise (4/5): Their music is really muted, which I tend to find nice but there weren't that many guests so perhaps it swung a little bit too quiet in that regard.Service:- Attentiveness & Relatability (5/5): The waitress was very friendly and checked up on us during our meal.- Wait (4/5): We didn't have to wait to get a table; wait time for food was also about expected.

I have been exploring restaurants near Evergreen district with my mom. She likes Japanese for so we took a shot at this place. We ordered a couple bento boxes. She had the one with save (mackerel) and I had a tempura box. It was quite nicely done. the tempura was crisp but lightly battered. It was not "armor plated" like some places that use thick batter and don't keep the ingredients cold until frying. My mom's mackerel was good as well. In general, a good, but average, experience. In the area, this is solid, but it is decidedly average once you are willing to go a little further.

IMHOIt has been years since I last ate here. Hubby and I were being treated for dinner at our choice of restaurants, and hubby chose Yuri. Our party of four were seated in a booth. (I think they only have booths, now that I think of it...) Anyways, the booth benches need to be a tad wider. If I were a bigger person, I wouldn't be comfortable. I also felt like I was leaning forward for most of the time...Anyway, Bella was our very friendly, helpful and patient server. It took a while for the two men to decide what they wanted to eat, so Bella told us to press the black button on the wall when we were ready to order. LOL In addition to a glass of chardonnay and a Sapporo beer, our orders were:Tempura Nabeyaki Udon, noodle soup with green onions, fishcake, and seaweed w/assorted tempura, served in a hot iron pot, $16.50Nabeyaki Udon, noodle soup with shrimp tempura, green onions, fishcake, seaweed egg, served in a hot iron pot, $16.50Niban (beef teriyaki) bento box, served with miso soup, salad, tempura & chicken gyoza, $19.75Bulgogi (Korean marinated thin sliced beef) bento box, served with miso soup, salad, tempura & chicken gyoza, $19.75. Loved my bento box, but wish it had come with some vinegary gyoza dipping sauce in addition to the tempura dipping sauce. Next time I'll ask...We all cleaned our plates! Will we return? You bet!

I love how hen you walk in they welcome you with a greeting in Japanese. The staff is friendly and very attentive. This place is small and it was just hard for me to get into the seat of the table. But their food is really good. I started with the miso soup, followed by the hilly roll, rainbow roll and San Jose roll. I highly recommend checking this place out if your on the evergreen side of San Jose.
