The restaurant has separated the tables with greater distance which makes for more comfortable/safer indoor dining. The sushi is always top-notch. Wait staff was attentive.
Yasaka is probably the best sushi you can get in NYC. Always fresher than fresh, absolutely delicious--I could eat there every night. Soooo good.
It was great as always. Our favorite sushi place on the UWS.
Best quality/price sushi in the city and wonderful, unrushed service.
Quality and customer service was excellent. The only issue was they do not allow you to Taylor the menu - all orders are right off the menu. - I do have to say the quality and taste was very good
The sushi is excellent. We also had the miso black cod appetizer for the first time, which was superb -- the cod practically melted in your mouth. Everything was delicious!
Excelente lugar, la comida, la atención de los meseros, los precios, un lugar muy recomendable!!
The food here is amazing. Fresh and delicious. Not the fanciest dining - but we didn’t even care because sushi was so good.
Amazing lunch deals even on weekends! Fresh fish & good portions.
Very good food!!
Excellent food and service.
The sushi bar hasn't reopened yet, unfortunately. We were celebrating our anniversary and hoping to try it. We both did the small omakase, and we loved every bite. It was also more than either of us could eat. I'm not sure how one person could do the large omakase. Granted, we had the gyoza and the yellowfin tuna appetizers, but... :) The prices were really reasonable as well. This will be a regular place for us.
This place is the best. My go to for sushi on the upper west side.
Super lunch. Rolls were very fresh and just the perfect amount of rice. Waitress was accommodating to my friend who is vegetarian offering suggestions. Would certainly come back.
Amazing nigiris
Their good standard went down unfortunately.
And the pricing fir drinks is too high for their ambiance and being a casual restaurant.
I love this restaurant. Great food. Good environment. Clean. Affordable and a Michelin star. So fabulous. Going back next week.
This was our first time here. The food was very good and the service was basically fine but the reception especially was just surly. It is small inside and lots of take out/delivery activity. But very good food, nice wine
I’ve been dining here for years, both lunch and dinner.
I’m from Japan.
Yes, if you spend lots of money, you can get better sushi here in NY.
Outside of Japan, their Sushi quality is very good for the price.
No one beats this sushi restaurant in Manhattan.
I highly recommend Chirashi for lunch, Omakase for dinner.
food excellent, service very good. ambience best it could be given changes in set-up due to pandemic
Excellent experience
As always great food every time.
Small Portions. Though the fish was good the omakase had lower value fish -- better order the Deluxe Sushi if you're going.
Honestly not a very interesting restaurant -- more like going to a cafeteria.
High quality sushi at a reasonable price. Fish selection was limited, but the quality of available fish was great.
This Sushi was very cheap and good taste!!! I’m Japanese, but I think that this Sushi is genuine :-)
The sushi is fabulous I had,a "When Harry Met Sally" moment but didn't make any noise. I wanted to go again but they were booked for lunch. Will go back and takeout dinner this afternoon.
One of the best sushi restaurants in NYC. The fish is amazing and the value is even better!
So good! The miyabi sushi/sashimi platter is a great value and absolutely sublime!
It’s always great
Enjoyed my food Bd the reasonable prices I will be back.
Best value for amazing sushi in New York City. The best chirashi I’ve had and it’s only $20 for lunch with thick cut salmon, tuna, yellowtail, scallop, egg and more, plus ikura, all incredibly fresh. I’d recommend some a la carte sashimi(toro and chutoro) too. Miyabi set is great too. It’s the absolute best if you want quality sushi but don’t want to spend omakase money which starts from $100 per person usually in the city. Plus it’s also 2021 Michelin Plate, great for any occasion.
Yeah, I think as far as value for money goes, this is the best sushi you're gonna get. Sure, there are better places, but they also cost a hell of a lot more, so if you wanna eat some sushi in Manhattan at a reasonable price I'd totally recommend it. Be sure to get their ume shiso cucumber roll, it blew me away with how flavorful it is (despite not containing any fish, I think)!
This was the most delicious, fresh sushi, and the prices were super reasonable. Some highlights were the Mayabi platter and the steamed gyoza! The salmon here is unreal. Will definitely be back!
Always excellent food
The sushi here is authentic and the best in the neighborhood. And they have great lunch specials!
Excellent fish as usual!
Food is always good and consistent. Staff is very nice. They keep safe with COVID safety protocols
My go to for sushi on the UWS.
The food was delicious and I liked how the social distancing was set up.
The sushi and sashimi was very fresh and their lunch specials are a great value! Looking forward to our next visit.
