The food was delicious, so fresh and a generous portion. I had the chirashi lunch special and my son had the tempura bento box. It was a wonderful meal and very reasonable!

(Although, over the years, the size of the fish has steadily gotten smaller. But, Yasaka is of course not the only one doing this...) The service is a bit rushed. I know it's a popular place and so they want you to leave as soon as you're done, but the servers are a bit too eager to get you out.
