Yuzu [Yoo-zoo] is a citrus fruit (Citrus junos, Rutaceae) originating in East Asia. Yuzu is the most popular of all citrus fruits in Japan. The fruit is found fresh in Japan throughout the winter months and can be found in many other convenient forms. With its strong taste and fragrant scent, the Yuzu rind is typically used to flavor various dishes. Dried, powdered Yuzu is tangy and sweet and often used in dressings, teas, and desserts. Aside from culinary uses in Japan, the juice can be added to a hot bath and is said to be good for the skin.

At Yuzu, our chefs create unique collaborations of Yuzu and Fish. Yuzu gives Fish freshness and flavor.

Come to enjoy our sushi tradition from Tokyo and New York.
Come to enjoy our art works from Saiki, Japan.
And come to share our philosophy: Eat Happy, Live Happy.

We went for the omakase menu, which was splendid. It has gone up a bit in price (as well as, I think, down a bit in quantity), but it's still a good deal for what it is. I'd say the sea scallop and urchin was the pièce de résistance.

A pleasant space, friendly and accommodating service. We stumbled upon Happy Hour, so began our meal with the special appetizers of the day. For those who are curious, they offer a tasting flight of 3 sakes, from dry to sweet, for an excellent price. The sushi and sashimi was the highlight for me; the freshest and most delicious fish, perfectly sized sushi pieces, and tasteful tiny garnishes. Even though we both ordered set menus, they were flexible and allowed us to choose an alternative roll (neither of us are fans of the krab in California rolls). We shared a generous serving of green tea ice cream for dessert, which came garnishes with sweet red bean. Literally the most delicious miso soup I've ever tasted; my Japanese partner informed me it was both typical and authentic. We will return!

Best sushi in town. I've been multiple times and it never disappoints. Go for the omakase or sushi/sashimi sets. They are hand made in front of you if you sit at the counter. Similar experience and same quality as much more expensive sushi restaurants in the city. Only downside - my clothes smelled like the deep fryer when I left because the kitchen is open.

I can't believe how good the restaurant is! I was skeptical about the sushi place in "Harlem" first! I love sushi and I've been to all famous ones in both New York and Tokyo, Japan, I don't care about money as long as the food is worth it. The sushi and sashimi there were both equally great, fresh, the pieces of fish were all cut and sliced perfectly. And sushi and sashimi should be one bite size and they all were there. You think you know good sushi? Go there and have the $45 sushi sashimi set, you can spend more? have seat at the counter and have $70 OMAKASE, you won't believe how good they are for the prices. It's casual setting, friendly and CLEAN!! CLEAN, you know how important that is for sushi place, don't you? I only had sushi and sashimi, so I have no comment about foods from the kitchen.

Yuzu is a great addition to the neighborhood. Service can be slow, but the waiter was very helpful. The sushi bowl was great, and a la carte sushi were generously portioned and amazing quality for the price. We also appreciated the ice-free water. Hope to make this a regular spot!

This place seemed a bit overrated based on reviews we had read. The food is not at all bad but nothing really special, the atmosphere is basically Early Cafeteria with a few Japanese artifacts thrown in, and the service can only be called charmingly inept. If you're in the neighborhood and craving Japanese, then this would be a good option, otherwise I would pass.
