Sushi Yuzu Reviews

I'd rather not write a rave review of Sushi Yuzu, because the place is crowded enough as is. Suffice it to say, they might be the very best sushi restaurant in Los Angeles. The location is a humble size, and the wait staff and chefs engaging and friendly. The sushi: fresh, original, mouthwatering.

One of the best sushi spots in the Valley if not Los Angeles. It is expensive but it is worth it. Great lunch specials and amazing roll combinations. There is almost always a wait so plan accordingly.

Consistently good sushi with a great lunch special.

Sushi Yuzu is a great little sushi spot I've been frequenting for years now. The sushi is always fresh, and everything tastes delicious. The restaurant is small, but I like that about the place, it makes it feel more intimate. The vicinity is nice as well. It's situated within Toluca Lake and surrounded by small bars, restaurants and stores. The restaurant also has been up to par with COVID-19 protocols. The tables are spaced out, heaters are provided, and they maintain a certain amount of people per table. The only reason I knocked out one star is because their service isn't so great at times. It takes a while for your server to come check on you or get you what you requested. Other than that, it's a nice place to check out.

Delicious! I haven't had sushi this yummy in years. Worth the reservation and plan on coming back very soon.

Curry oyster on half shell. The house salad dressing to die for refreshing, the everything was delishes we had 9 different types of rolls fantastic

Great sushi place in Toluca Lake. Try the Yuzu roll... Just great!

Disregard the stars I gave for them because I never got a chance to eat here so I can't say anything on their food and service but FACT: They cannot seat a party larger than 6 (their max). They will however direct you to Kabosu.

Incredible place! I came to eat by myself at the bar after a work event and was seated immediately despite the long line (hooray for single seats) and treated like family the entire time. The salmon sushi was delicious and fresh and I also got the foil fish which was really done well and very savory... my only advice I would recommend that they serve the fish with white rice... other than that - a true gem!!!

One of the best sushi restaurants in town. And I have tried them all. If yyhave a special occasion do the special menu. The tofu is amazing

I would rate Sushi Yuzu at 3.4978 stars. And I'll tell you why.

For a place to get as much hype as Sushi Yuzu, I was really disappointed to see that their sushi is pre-cut.

I also judge a place based on their ahi, and their maguro that night, wasn't looking as fresh nor as good of a grade as one should be.

Is the sushi good? Yes. Is it worth their weight in gold? I wouldn't bet on it.

If you're going to come here, find the times during which it is not rush hour.

Lastly, if you're an establishment and you're going to take shortcuts, at least knock off a buck or two off of your prices. Just my two cents.

Oh, and they have parking which is cool.

Quality fish ... Sit at the bar for good service ...

My wife and I no longer live in the area but we always make the drive. The sushi is fresh and original. The lemon roll is delicious. The Yuzu Roll is a must have. It's best to get a reservation. It's a small place but they can accommodate medium sized groups if you plan ahead. We have been going here for years and have never been disappointed. I love Sushi Yuzu!

Average quality sushi but very over priced and a decent wait to get a table

Food is OK but you have to wait on line almost 2 hours

Great place to go for sushi as well as for small plate items. Their food is always A+! However, last few times we got take-outs from this place, I found something missing from my order once I unpacked my order when I got home. I didn't want to bother calling or going back to get it so I just ate my food as is but I would advise kinda going through the bag to make sure you got your order complete before leaving the premise.

Excellent sushi. But need to have a reservation before you get there. Stuff very friendly. Will go back for sure.

This was place is totally worth the wait. The quality of the fish and the creativity of the rolls were amazing.

The food is very good. The only reason I took a star off was because of $$$. In my opinion, it's kind of expensive.

One of the best Japanese restaurant. The Lemon and Yuzu rolls are very tasty. Edamame is truffle sauce is super yummy. Tried different thing with my husband and everything was delicious. Thank you

Chef Daniel is amazing. Put a personal touch on every dish. Perfect service.

If this was the first time I ever tried sushi I'd probably never eat it again. When I got there they couldn't even find my order. Took 10 minutes. After eating the few rolls my stomach could hold down I wanted to barf. The sushi isn't fresh. More like defrosted. The salmon tower and albacore was terrible. Their spicy mayo tastes like ketchup and basil. Won't ever come back here.

Best sushi ever!!! This place ruined all other sushi for me

Cozy delicious sushi joint. Helpful staff a d b friend sushi chefs.

Loved the food. Though the place is small it is really nice.

I am not a sushi fan but the Teriyaki and Tempura is very good.

Best sushi restaurant in town!!! Everything on their menu is mouthwatering good!!!

They made a vegetable tempura roll for me that was delicious

Best sushi in town. Amazing fresh fish selection and great chefs.

Looked forward to our first time at this known sushi restaurant. Reservation was on point and time. Food good (not great but very good), fish fresh, fairly well presented. Service OFF. Received another table's order at one point. Server seemed to forget some of what we ordered. Wrong drink for one of my guests. Server knocked over my large Sapporo, 1/4-1/3 poured over the table, he wiped up and provided extra napkins for me to wipe up more I guess...when I ordered a 2nd one, it was on the tab. Didn't mention it...but too much competition out there for good sushi restaurants to go back. BUT many do like this place. See for yourself.

Great sushi! Cute place! Very popular spot for good reason!!

The salmon and albacore spinach salad is amazing!!!

Great food, and amazing service. Some of the best sushi in the LA area.

DISCRIMINATION. Sad but true. Apparently, the sushi bar is off limits to certain people. My son, who is a sushi lover and has eaten at the sushi bar for a long time, was no longer allowed to sit at the sushi bar, which is his favorite spot (so he can watch them make the sushi). The last time we were there, the owner didn't want us to sit there but relented. This time, he gave us a "safety" excuse and told us to sit at a table.

When we go there, we spend an average of $80-100 and we eat quickly so that others can have a seat. We go right at the opening time, so that we don't take the seats during their peak hours. People also come up to us to tell us how extremely well behaved our son is - he LOVES it there after all! So it's sad and disappointing that we will no longer be going there. We refuse to be DISCRIMINATED against. And from what we deduce, we just don't spend enough at the sushi bar for their liking. In their eyes, my son just doesn't eat enough.

Please don't support them. There are many other great sushi restaurants in the area. Let's make them recognize that DISCRIMINATION is not acceptable.

Thanks.

Whenever I visit Toluca Lakes, Burbank or Glenda this is where I'll be going for sushi. Yuzu is located in a small location just as you enter Toluca Lakes from the east. The dining area is micro, inviting and well-maintained. We dined on a Monday around 9PM and still had to wait about 15 minutes for seats for two.

We were seated at the sushi bar and got to watch the amazing staff of three sushi chefs really go to work on some fish, rice and vegetables. This place serves the largest sushi rolls I've ever eaten. In addition to being large, the rolls are detailed and interesting. For example my tuna roll had a single pine nut and lemon shaving on each piece. In addition to the sashimi tuna on top of the roll, my order was stuffed with minced tuna which seemed to double the size of each bite. This was probably the most memorable and tasty sushi roll I've ever eaten.

Note: While I liked the minced tuna, the texture did sort of freak me out at first.

Service was attentive. The staff was super focused on serving our needs yet also talkative. If you are in the area you really can't go wrong with Yuzu.

Very good Americanized Japanese food. Attracts a younger crowd. A little noisy.

Great no nonsense sushi restaurant where quality stands above what s hip and not. Sushi as it s supposed to be and damned delicious too!

The food tasted amazing and was very fresh! The service was very attentive as well, will def be back.

This is my go to sushi place! would definitly recommend them to any one!

I ve been a loyal once or twice a week customer for years. Today I went In for lunch and was treated very rudely. This is not the first time this has happened but it is the last. Such an LA thing to think you re above giving good customer service because you think people will come even if you re rude. Terrible attitude and one that will no longer earn my money.

One of the best sushi restaurants in town. Only drawback is the wait during weekend dinner times but well worth the wait.

Finally exotic plates in okc! Rolls were ok, appetizers were really good. As I said presentation is nice and exotic!

Nice place, nice people, good food, better service.

I eat in this lovely place a lot! This is my favorite restaurant to eat. I go there routinely. The food is of high quality, the staff is professional and the prices are decent. I enjoy eating in this restaurant over a decent lunch.

This place simply knows how to satisfy their clients. Always with a kind mindset. The food is affordably priced, regularly flavorful and clean.

Long wait but worth it !
Really good sushi

Excellent on every level. Such a pleasant environment, excellent food and service. my favourite thing, you could actually hear yourself speak. Fabulous sushi will be going back!

Had lunch at Yuzu today. Awesome as usual. I got in and out quickly and had amazing food amd service.
One of my fav's.

Best sushi ever!!! Totally japanese friendly people great chefs and it is worth the price. If yiu love sushi you must go!!!

I don't want you to know this, but this is secretly the best sushi in LA. You can pay four times as much for an omakase experience that will only taste 10% better. Or you can get sushi yuzu four times. I highly recommend their crab handroll, eel, and hamachi!

Good Sushi. Hard to get a table, but worth the wait.

Some of the best Sushi in LA - small place, limited seating.
