Sushi Yasuda New York City

Solid five star Michelin Star service and experience. Sushi tasting menus was superb and service was top notch. I would say some of the best service without being pushy I’ve had in this scale of restaurant. Saki and wine selection was stellar and a standard beer selection.

For Michelin star sushi experience that goes above and beyond this is the spot! The decor is a simple yet elegant makes you feel transported from the streets a midtown to a wonderfully calm oasis. The sushi was divine from the first piece till the last piece. For sushi lovers, I suggest the market price omakase, which ranges between $150-$250 but they will serve you about $150-$175 worth and ask if you’d like to continue. Again if you let them choose. If you choose the pieces you want could also be more expensive. Insider tip, not all fish on the menu given is all the fish you can order (potentially due to seasonality / availability). Which also makes the experience slightly different every time compared to set menu options omakase spots, but also allows you to manage allergies and personal taste/preferences. The market price omakase gives you an opportunity to try some more unique fish, compared to typical sushi spots. The real special part about this spot is the rice. It’s seasoned in such a way that is different than most sushi spots, that just makes each piece that much more pleasant and enjoyable to consume. Bite by bite I just felt as though it couldn’t get better but it did. My favorite piece is definitely the grill fatty tuna with sea salt chips and lemon squeeze. It’s usually the last one they serve but it is like the A5 wagyu of the sea. All the sushi pieces we got were amazing (none disappointed). We got a fruit platter as part of the omakase, which was a nice touch to finish the meal. Service is great. Remembered we were celebrating something and included a little candle with the fruits. Very attentive to notice if your water is low, or you need a new finger towel as you enjoy the meal. Will be returning soon!
