“Yasuda isn’t mentioned a lot because the experience is too variable. How much sashimi, how many nigiri, kinds of fish, price, is all determined by the chef across from you that evening. There’s no planned menu, so if you don’t do the planning yourself, you’re highly liable to get a boring meal.”

“Sushi Yasuda is probably my favorite special occasion spot. I like that the omakase is not obscenely expensive, the quality of the fish is top level, and most importantly - you are not rushed”

“Thought I was going to hate it but it was absolutely delicious. I thought it was one of the best pieces in the omakase and actually ended up ordering 2 more uni pieces because it was so good lol.”

“it was my fave omakase for many years and consistently good, but the last time I went late 2023, I was seated at a table instead of the bar and it was horrible. The rice was dry and the fish was cut poorly.”

“in my opinion one of the best intersections of quality and value for omakase is Yasuda in midtown. $100 for the lesser priced omakase and the quality of fish is spectacular.”

“I understand they are a bit more traditional but I have actually been to japan and it wasn't as stiff as this spot. Like my friend put in food and was like Ill keep the menu and they were like no you must put in your whole order at once I dunno just wasn't sweet”
