Sushi Yasuda Review

Doesn't get any better! Some of the best sushi in NYC!

Clean, minimal but beautifully designed space, fresh fish, quick and cordial service nothing more to say.

Absolutely rude staff and manager and worst OMAKASE that comes in one plate in 5 minutes.

It look like this restaurant does not care any customer service but proud of taste ???? but taste is not there yet. Would rather go to other choices.
I probably think they would not care of this but you should be careful really.

One of the swankiest sushi dinning experiences I've encountered. Very high grade sushi in a very high grade ambiance. They've got a few interesting non-sushi dishes with very unique flavors which may challenge diners less accustomed to Japanese foods.

Definitely on the more expensive side, but given the quality it's good value for the money.

Had a reservation at noon and they opened right on time. Got the guests seated well and fast. Sushi is fresh and second to what you get in Japan. The sushi rice however can do with better seasoning. Service is prompt and pleasant and we were told no tips required as the staff have been compensated accordingly in the salary.

Had an omakase dinner in the table, service is excellent. Food is above average. This is my first time having omakase. I would say it s a little bit expensive with their quality, but it s worth a visit since you are paying money to experience traditional fine japan sushi dinning. It s same experience that I had in Japan.

We have try different sushi places and were never pleased , with Aki's suggestions the dinner was the best experience at a sushi restaurant. Even my 93 years old dad love it

Smashing! Great Food and Excellent Customer Service. I'll definitely make it a point to come back again. Highly recommended.

top quality sushi. nice interior. no music. they don't charge tips as in Japan. Spent about 400 dollars for Omakase for 2 person without drinks.

Stunning sushi. Coming here made me realize just how big a difference there is between your average sushi joint and a world class place such as this

Bar none the best sushi I have ever had. Reservations are a must at lunch or dinner and calling two weeks to a month before is recommended.

Tip: If you are going to have Omakase, please reserve your seats at the bar. I've seated at both bar and the table. Although all the staffs will serve you the best with the explanation and the details of the dish, quality of food is better at the bar. Besides sushi comes directly from the chef in separated dish for your company comparably it comes in a huge dish together with no beauty.

They say the sushi is flown in daily from Japan - I would believe them!

Absolutely loved this place. Classy and delicious sushi.

If you are ready to actually try real sushi, then I highly recommend Sushi Yasuda, I am a huge sushi lover and have been to some of the other notable places such as Morimoto and Sushi of Gari but I still prefer Yasuda. Their toro is most excellent.

Can't get enough of this special place. We made a reservation for the sushi bar the last four times we ate here

First and foremost they allow you to order whatever you want (just not specials which we never do anyway) so you get to eat your favorite pieces of sushi or sashimi. Of course you can go the omakas...

Best sushi in NYC! Maybe the world.
Always good...for the quality and flexibility it's one of the best and reasonably priced.

great mochi ice cream. let the chef pic your sushi.

Compared to high-end sushi restaurants in Japan, the taste is comparable to that of fresh ingredients and hygienic cooking. Today's best taste is California Uni Sushi! Best quality of Uni Sushi ever eaten!

Well established Japanese Sushi restaurant in NYC. Ingredients are fresh and service is above average. The only way to fully enjoy sushi is in the counter. Otherwise, the dining area is subpar.

Make sure you get the Omakase. My biggest gripe with Sushi Yasuda is the service, it came across as cold and not very inviting. Maybe it was just my one time there but the place is on the pricier end so it's not like I can just give them another shot to let them prove otherwise. Anyway, everything other than the service was good.

Best sushi I ve ever had in NYC. Rivals some of the best I ve had in Japan. Service can use some work. More of a churn and burn rather than being able to explain fish you may not be familiar with.

He deserves to be among the best.
The minimum but fair,
An exclusive sushiman attended only us, at a pleasant and intimate pace.

how often do u see a japanese restaurantin ny with japanese chefs?

The best unseasoned nigiri in NYC. Small pieces cared for by Master chefs.

Phenomenal.. This place have never disappointed me . Always the best quality food and its never enough . Pricey [wouldn't say over the top ]but worth it . They are very keen about the time ,if you plan to hang around for long after food , then this is not the place since there will be always a next person waiting for their reservation to be taken care of

Simply fantastic sushi.

The unagi sushi was the best unagi I've ever had - so melty and complex. The hotate and salmon sushi were also outstanding.

I didn't particularly care for the salmon, tuna, and king salmon rolls I tried, however. They didn't really taste like much of anything at all to me.

Japanese food and the setting here is great. staff is always nice even when they have a full house. i will be back with my coworkers. bring your hunger - portions are generous. food is similar to a place in san francisco i liked.

Some of the best sushi I've ever eaten - each piece fills me with joy. Excellent place for an unforgettable date!

Food was fresh, and good but not awesome, but the service was poor. The server did not pay attention to us early on, and then when it was time to leave rushed us and ushered us out. Felt like they chased us out like we were roaches. Not impressed.

Get ready to pay, solid joint, as close to Japan as possible. I prefer sitting solo at the bar, otherwise it will get pricey.

Sublime sushi in a beautiful setting. Pricey but worth the expense

Very nice sushi with the rudest host at front door. Once you sit in the restaurant everything will be great.

very very good sushi. I wasnt completely happy with the service as I had to flag down our waitress about 3 times before she actually came over and they brought me the wrong type of soup as my appetizer.... although i'm kindof glad they did because it was great! i liked the decor too and it wasn't too packed when I ate there so i was happy about that.

The quality of the entire meal was phenomenal. The fish quality was second to non other, they ask your tastes then taylor the experience to u. Saki was great I went with the chiri box tasted delightful. The meal isn't cheap just a warning be prepared. Quality like this costs money. Great staff 2 sushi bars.... Make reservations in advance.

Easily the best sushi in NYC. Take a chance and do the chef's choice. It's well worth it, but remember to say 'stop' or they'll keep bringing more.

Exceptional service. Beautiful atmosphere. Fantastic food. 5/5

The absolute best sushi experience of my life. I've been back numerous times (always to chef Yoshi) and the food seems to just get better. The ultimate omakase experience!

Had to ask for a fork 5 times and three different people to be able to get it. Same thing for a coke, had to order three times to get it. Seems the service was not on point.

As someone who loves Omakase this is now my gold standard for sushi outside of Japan (and is high up even against Japanese places). The cuts of fsh clearly showed off the chef's skill and the selections were unique and worth the cost. While the meal was expensive, it was actually a very good price of the amount of pieces we had and the rarity of some of the cuts.

Add amazingly attentive service and you have and experience I would gladly repeat. Knowing just how well I'll be taken care of here makes it hard to try other places.

Omigod. Had the treat of being treated to the "bring us whatever you want chef" at the sushi bar. Unbelivably delicious and well considered. Was glad I drank oced green tea and not a beer so I could taste it all better. Anyone else wanna treat me?

Went for the lunch special. Great value and quality! No tipping establishment, but still comes with top service.

I went for lunch and was told from a friend it was price fixed at $30. Well that was wrong! The bill for two was over $350!!!! And we were still hungry after! Completely shocked at how expensive this was! Dinner at Jules Verne was less expensive and we were inside of the Eiffel Tower!!! Also, we were seated at 1:30 PM for the second of two seatings. They close at 2:15. So that was a not relaxing 45 minute lunch for that ridiculous price. I cannot get over the shock! Could have gone to a Broadway Play! Stayed another day in my hotel, on and on. Food should never be this expensive! And without notice!!! Terrible!!

Top Notch. If you love great Sushi. This spot is worth every penny.

The omakase at dinner will change your life. SO GOOD. Don't bother with their lunch service though: it's awful and they smear too much wasabi on every bite.

What a privilege to be be able tend enjoy this quality. Price will be a deterrent however you truly get fantastic quality product ina a very pleasant setting (inside).

Awesome sushi but pricey. Go for lunch for an incredible deal. 5 pieces of sushi and 2 rolls for $29. Tip included!

Decent food quality, taste pretty fresh.

Prepare to spend some money here. I had a dinner here myself and spent $122. They don't charge tip though.

Sushi was great, although quite pricey. Price isnt the reason I took off a star however, our waiter was why - he seemed entirely new to the place. I am understanding about new waiters having to learn but he was basically entirely new, which was a bit disappointing especially considering the price.

I've been to Yasuda about ten times. This is before Yelpin' became my hobby, so I didn't feel it was fair to write a review with no pictures and no check-ins. The times I've been before was always for dinner with family or on dates. Today was lunch - never tried their lunch before and I'm glad I did! Four of us walked across the street, but this time, not for Soba Totto's bara chirashi. It's a whole different level and everyone knows about Yasuda, so enough talk about how mouth watering even the sight of their restaurant door is.

Best sushi in Town, great attention. The food quality is Amazing, you have to have reservation

Fresh, good setting and reasonable lunch special (for what you are getting).

Delicious sushi, unobtrusive, but attentive service.

expensive sushi but regular tastes.
it nothing specials

Most delicious, flavorful and fresh sushi that I have ever eaten. The service and ambience are wonderful as well. It's also incredibly affordable and tips are not allowed. Make a reservation ahead of time, even for lunch!

Unfriendly Service and the Atmosphere is not comfortable !!!

Delicious, I recommend the bar
And don't stop eating eel bones with salt

Came here for lunch after 10 years not visiting NYC. Quite disappointed on the selection of fish, and the quality. Good that we didn t order Omakase, but 10 pcs sushi instead. The sushi they offered lack variety. Gave us 7 white fishes and 2 repeated items. Would expect more from them. They used to have this clam rice dish, but no more now. Won t come back again, as there are a lot more other options out there nowadays for this price

Elegant sushi, flavorful dishes in a refined atmosphere

Food is so fresh and off excellent quality. Helpful staff and great atmosphere

The experience at SUSHI YASUDA was really good, but not as amazing as a $700 meal should be. The 2 appetizers that we order, the butter crab and vegetables, were just so boring and tiny. This was not a great start. Thankfully, after that, almost everything was delicious. We went with the Omakase experience while sitting at the chef's table so we got things put in front of us right away, for many many courses until we said we were full. The salmon, tuna, eel, quids, scallops, crab pieces were all so delicious. The only one neither my wife and I didn't like was the sardine, but just 1 out of ~12 delicious bites was acceptable. The sake we tried was also delicious! Finally, the price tag was a little insane for such experience... another reason to give 4 stars as we have had other experiences of the same quality for a lower price tag, and much better experiences for the same price tag. At the end of the day, it was really just bites of food one after the other; no fancy plating, no pairing, no elaborate explanations. I know that this is what an Omakase dinner is supposed to be, but still not worth that much money imho...

My wife and I were tried this restuarant because of its high review on Google. Later, we found out the high review was probably, faked! Quality was very general but prices was on high side.... atmosphere was bad, not good for spending a romantic time there....

The meals and service were beyond our expectations. We surely liked the environment of this place. Superb place to take the family out for dinner.

Authentic experience in NYC. Place is amazing and the food is fresh. If you are looking for a great Japanese experience go here.

One of the best sushi experiences you'll ever have. Don't expect to walk out of here without spending a pretty penny, but worth every cent. Make sure to get a seat at the sushi bar.

This ranks among the top in terms of sushi/sashimi. The fish here is cured so well that each bite is buttery and melts in your mouth.

Incredible sushi, some of the best I've ever had. Great service too.
