Sushi Yasuda

One of the best sushi restaurants in town . Traditional style sushi without any hint of fusion or modern ingredients, just plain top quality fish expertly prepared. Get the omakase and good cheap sake !

Food is worth every penny. Sushi matsu gives good variety for reasonable price. Uni is creamy. Sea scallop is shiny and fresh. Eel is plump and tender. The shrimp is sweet and firm.

If u can't splurge, get $28 sushi+sashimi combo (5 pcs of sushi+2 maki rolls)-incl some of starred fish in omakase . $23 chirashi 's also a deal: 4-6 pcs of 5 diff fish & they'll leave out ur dislikes

Great food. Sushi is amazing. Had a 10 piece fish sushi assorted platter and loved it all the way. Sake and green tea to go with your meal.

The toro and mackerel here is very very good. Defiantly try the omakase . It worth every penny you spent, although it would be a remarkable amount of pennies lol.

Sit at the bar for the omakase . You can let the chef know things you like/don't like, but be adventurous and try it all! The uni trio and king salmon were my favs.

Getting the omakase from a table isn't quite the same but still delicious and amazing. The 3 types of eel , out of this world.

Lucky enough to walk in and find a seat. Highest quality sushi . Unagi was delicious! Do try some of the less common vegetable makis like daikon sprout and Japanese sweet potato .

Clean , minimal space. $48 10 piece chefs choice is just right for lunch or a light dinner . Quality is incredible, & the service is low touch but attentive. Tip is included... what a steal.

Reservations needed for I've-died-&-gone-to-heaven sushi ! No creative rolls here. All about fresh, raw fish & for sushi purists. Order Chef 's starred daily fish & definitely splurge for the Omakase !

Best omakase in NYC imo, every single piece is really special and catered to your taste. Also had an abalone appetizer (more like an entree size) and it was divine

Best sushi in town . Sit at the bar and ask for the Omakase . Let the chef pamper you. Pricey , but an incredible culinary experience. Simplicity at its best!

Best sushi in the city - seriously. Sit at the sushi bar if you can and just go omakase (like prix fixe ), the chefs are a great part of the experience. Always finish with the toro-scallion roll.

The sushi here—arctic char , ebi (shrimp ), uni (sea urchin ), and ikura (salmon roe )—is an essential New York bite. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c

Trust the omakasa menu if you are not sure. But definitely get Uni, Freshwater Eel , Toro , Tamago and Salmon ! We for okamasa with several pieces extra, 120 per person. No tipping here

The closest I can get to Japan in NYC. Well done! Worth the price tag - cannot wait to return!

Incredible sushi . The freshest eel (sawani and anago), scallop , and uni. Call ahead and get a seat at the sushi bar and do the omakase !

One of the best sushi spots in New York. Fish is very fresh and great service. I recommend lunch for those who do not want to spend a fortune.

Absolutely amazing quality. Do your best to get omakase at the bar and ask to have wasabi on the side so that you can control wasabi portions in your sushi (mine came a bit strong). Still an NYC fav!!

Sea urchin , tuna belly , scallop or eel .. Everything is just so special, beautiful place and omacase experience!

Yasuda is for sushi purists. Not the place for rolls. The variety of different fish is incomparable to any other sushi place in NYC. Red miso soup w clam is fantastic. Amazing!

The scallion sushi is a specialty! Very unique! But really just get the omakase and you can't go wrong.

Beautiful fresh fish . Omakase is around $150pp for 15 or so pieces. Perfect service and lovely atmosphere.

I took an intern here for lunch as a thank you for their work over the summer. We both walked out saying that was one of the best sushi experiences we ever had. It was lunch . Amazing.

Words fail to describe what i've experienced here. You will not be able to eat sushi anywhere else. Sit at the bar and order omakase . You can thank me later.

You have to order omakase style. It's really the best way to experience the phenomenally fresh fish . Every single bite was delicious particularly the white king salmon , the fatty tuna and the oyster .

Solid omakase - they give you a flight of the same fish , different cuts, which makes for a great tasting experience. Nice atmosphere that isn't too stuffy either. You WILL leave very full.

Get yourself a seat at the sushi counter, ask for omakase , open your senses and experience some of the best sushi in the city . The minimal yet warm space contributes just as much as the food.

The most traditional sushi experience I've had in NYC. Every flavor was classic. The sea scallop was definitely our favorite.

If you’re ready to treat yourself, as in 200 dollars a head treat yourself, sit at the bar and go omakasi style. Really sets the bar for Sushi in NYC .

As a first-timer here, was a bit puzzled by the way things go here. The nice thing when you sit at the bar is that you can order your sushi "a la carte" one by one... Urchin is a truly special treat.

The place is no frills, but the sushi speaks for itself! Amazing quality at a great price point - a MUST if you like sushi !

For the best sushi experience in NYC, you've come to the right place. For the full experience get the Omakase , a personal dining experience with one chef who serves up piece after piece of pure bliss.

Everything done accordingly to Japanese traditions. Tip is included to your bill. Your regular spicy tuna and other rolls from "sushi places" will not be served here. However, very fresh sashimi !

It's all about the omakase , sit at the sushi bar and you will get world class eating experience; every bite is a explosion of textures and flavors; one personal favorites. Not cheap

Reserve a seat at the bar of this bamboo-clad space to watch Tatsu and Mitsu—as they’re called by regulars—dispatch purist renditions of nigiri onto wooden trays in elegant, efficient movements. Read more

One of the best sushi places in NYC. in fact very Californian quality of the sushi (fresh and great selection of the fish ) with NYC-paced service and Japanese politeness. Strongly recommended!

Every roll was spectacular; yet the uni roll was the frontrunner. The uni was memorable with its sweetness wrapped in exceptionally tasty nori , finished off with the perfect hint of soy sauce salt.

Honestly the best sushi I’ve ever had, and I’ve frequently traveled to Japan. Go for the omakase , it was simply delicious!

Undoubtedly the best traditional Japanese restaurant in the city - notoriously hard to get into at any reasonable hour without reservations - but so so soooo worth it

Make sure you set up a seat at the sushi bar in advance. Even if you don't do omakase you can ask the chefs what they recommend and make your own omakase Magic.

One of the best sushi restaurants in NY. Their rice and Seaweed comes from Japan. There is no taste of bitter oil in Tuna , and every ingredient is exceptionally fresh.

Incredible sushi with really really nice seating and service!Atmosphere is off the hook,prices for a place of this caliber are not bad at all.Anthony Bourdain approved????????????????????

Shima Aji: Most of the fish at this Midtown sushi oasis is imported from Japan. Kon’nichiwa, perfectly sliced sliver of jack fish . Read more

Sushi sashimi entree $28, choose 4 sushi , 1 roll and receive 9 pieces of chef 's choice of sashimi . Mixed seaweed salad with nutty dressing $9. Serene atmosphere

Sit at the bar and enjoy this no-frills, beautifully prepared sushi (omakase of course). The uni and eel are both superb.

One of the most amazing sushi spots in NYC. Though it could be a bit pricey but go for the omakase at the bar . Do not be afraid to ask the chef questions they are always very knowledgeable .

Omakase ! The best sushi I've ever had. Including in Japan.

Great, fresh sushi + sashimi omakase matched by friendly , attentive service . Appreciated inclusive tip as well in a surprisingly reasonable bill.

Amazing flavors, I never knew sushi could be so delicious. Must tries: Uni, toro , Spanish mackerel , razor clam , unagi . I recommend starting with the combination Matsu and going from there.
