Great small, cozy spot with quick service and really good quality tuna. I am usually more of a salmon person, but when I saw bluefin chutoro on the menu, I figured they probably have solid suppliers. One piece was only eight dollars, which caught my attention since it is usually over ten dollars per piece at most places. When it came out, I was pleasantly surprised. It was basically two servings of sashimi on one nigiri, which made it totally worth the price. The quality of the fish was amazing, super delicate and melt in your mouth. I also like that their spicy tuna does not have the tempura flakes fully mixed in. They keep it set to the side inside the roll, which lets you still taste the tuna clearly instead of just getting crunch in every bite. read more

Great quality sushi for an affordable price. This review is for takeout only. Ordered the combo for two which came with a selection of nigiri, one special roll, and one regular roll. It was delicious. Highly recommend if you're looking for high-quality raw fish. This might be my new go-to delivery spot. read more

Sushi Yashin - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

That's it. It's official. What was once my fave place is now - basic... and basically not that good. What used to be real wasabi is now dyed bright green. Too green in fact. What was a Special seaweed salad is - basic commercial stuff ... and the rolls are - different. Small. Don't taste as good. And the delivery guy insists on a tip via phone before he arrives - even if you try to be thoughtful and give cash on arrival - you feel the ick of the demand. RIP what was a great place. read more

This is hands down the best sushi in Park Slope. If you're serious about sushi, you must try Sushi Yashin. The fish melts in your mouth. The miso has body - like a fine northern Rhône. If Jiro Dreams of Sushi - I dream of Sushi Yashin. read more

Sushi Yashin - Miso Ramen Sushi for 2 - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

A first time delivery experience with Sushi Yashin allowed me to feel lukewarm and underwhelmed. The delivery on a Monday night was prompt but it makes sense since Mondays are usually quiet. It was a simple order of 5 Maki rolls. One, the Spicy Tuna was a BOGO. The other two were Avo rolls and we split the Rainbow Roll for sharing. The photos look nice enough, but..... While the seafood appeared to be fresh, the Spicy Tuna had a strong metallic/mercury taste that came through the mayo and spice. To be honest, it was off putting and I didn't eat the entire 8 pieces. I just had half. The Avo Roll was good/fresh but it's kind of difficult to mess it up. Yes I've had Avo rolls where the Avocado was slightly brown. Yuck. The Rainbow Roll was a combination of different fish such as Tuna and Salmon and maybe Yellpwtail. It was a strictly raw seafood roll without much flavor and not very memorable. Overall opinion? Blah. read more

Sushi Yashin - 381 Fifth Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215 Ordered Delivery | First Round: Miso Soup, Age Gyoza A quiet evening craving turned into a small study in umami. I haven't braved the sushi menu yet, that's for another night, but the appetizers alone made the experience worth narrating. * Miso Soup: Surprisingly excellent. Most miso soups are an afterthought, like a warmup act that's already packing up. This one had body, depth, and actual care, maybe a hint of dashi that wasn't phoned in. Comforting, but not lazy. * Age Gyoza: I misread it at first as aji gyoza and expected tofu, instead, I got golden-fried dumplings with unmistakably meaty richness. Were they pork? Chicken? A tofu so cunningly marinated it cosplayed as brisket? Not sure. But the crunch was satisfying and the inside savory, even if the label left me guessing. If there was tofu involved, it was in deep disguise. Final Take (So Far): Sushi Yashin shows signs of being more than just a local roll-and-go. There's intention behind the broth, mystery in the gyoza, and a vibe that says come back, the good stuff's still on deck. To Be Continued: Once the sushi hits the stage, I'll report back. I'm hoping for restraint, balance, and one surprise, the edible kind, not the kind that makes you double-check the receipt. read more

Yashin used to be great, but I went with a biggish (6) party in September and service was unbelievably slow, and my chirashi sushi was poorly cut and presented. Went for lunch today for just the basic sushi nigiri lunch special, and the tuna roll was made with chopped fish and was slimy and stringy. Did not eat the roll. Server could not understand what I was saying, so couldn't explain why i didn't eat it. So disappointed. Don't see a future for this place. read more

I think there is new ownership, because I believe ordered sake at this restaurant when I went last about 3 years ago, and now they have no liquor license. It was very disappointing this time around. Shrimp tempura roll had no cucumber or avocado. The food was mushy and tasteless. read more

It was good food, full freshness just wasn't there but good service. Nice and very put together restaurant

Excellent sushi. Very fresh and very unique. One of the best I had. The place is pretty small so might need to wait a little. Not a good place for large party. read more

The server was attentive, the tea was tasty - but the sushi was mostly bad. My daughter consistently orders salmon roe and we even make sushi with it at home (Japan Village has it fresh). The roe was not salty at all and I believe it had spoiled. It didn't pop in your mouth when biting down. It had what I can best describe as a chemical flavor. Also we ordered hand rolls, which are conical in shape, and they brought long uncut rolls with the ikura and avocado stuffed inside. Obviously they just exploded out the bottom when my kid tried to eat them. The server said maybe I haven't had salmon roe "flavored" before, and I said they should still taste salty. She and the sushi chef spoke and she didn't relay what he said, which was in another language, so I never got an explanation about why they didn't taste right. My yellowtail was good, but the California roll was also a little off (no cucumber, some crab was stringy and some was whole). I would just say this was overall underwhelming, if not concerning, and I was shocked that it came up as the number one pick in Yelp. Seems like the algorithm is off. read more

Very friendly and attuned staff in a small intimate restaurant. The black cod was very moist and the ebi tempura was very flaky! Omakase selection was fresh, especially the toro pieces and uni! The omakase was reasonably priced and I have definitely had worse omakase that costed more. Seaweed for the hand roll was crunchy, which is definitely a plus! I just wish the pieces would come one at a time, but nonetheless it was tasty and definitely a good experience. Definitely worth trying! (: Thank you for reading and good luck! read more

The best Japanese sushi that I ever had in Brooklyn, my best friend said. I treated my best friend a Christmas dinner at Sushi Yashin last night, the experience was truly delightful. The ambiance exuded a serene charm, setting a perfect stage for an exceptional dinning experience. The service was great, we all so welcomed when we stepped in the restaurant till we left. We ordered two appetizers, one sushi sashimi combo, one salmon teriyaki and four pieces of Uni sashimi. All the food featured fresh, high quality ingredients that left a lasting impression on my taste buds. The Sake offered a perfect compliments to the exquisite flavors on the table. Sushi Yashin is truly mastered the art of Japanese cuisine, highly recommended. read more

I pass by here all the time and finally decided to try it - no regrets! The interior of the outdoor dining areas is very simple and cozy. The staff is very friendly and service is fast. The fish taste really fresh - the himachi carpaccio is not only refreshing but the sauce on top also complimented the yellowtail well. The uni here is ok - it's not the best uni I've had and I probably wouldn't get it again. I had the Kaisen don which includes salmon, yellowtail, tuna, uni and ikura. I would just get the salmon chirashi in the future, which also includes ikura though not stated. The salad that comes along is a little elevated from the typical salads with sushi - it has a different sauce (maybe balsamic?) but it is a surprising change from the usual ones you find. I love plum wine but theirs is on the sweeter side for my tastes. (Plum wine is generally sweet.) All in all, a good sushi spot that I would visit again sometime. read more

The sushi omakase set is good value ($50) for 10 pieces of nigiri and a small tuna roll. The fish quality and selection isn't top notch, but you also shouldn't expect that at $50 a pop. However I strongly advise against ordering the cheaper raw fish items such as the chirashi. I made the mistake of ordering the two together, and after finishing the sushi omakase, the chirashi was a total letdown and left a bad taste in my mouth (literally). The quality of the fish in the chirashi is just not the same; perhaps I should have known that as it's reflected in the price (below $30, can't remember exactly). read more

First time here, and we ordered a bit of everything. First got the soft shelled crab and the sweet shrimp tempura. The crab was good, but the tempura was just okay, did not taste the sweetness of the shrimp. Next, we had the ocean roll and rainbow roll. The ocean roll waa definitely the star of the show. Fantastix combination and mix of flavors, and the rainbow row was simple and fresh. Finally we ordered the scallop ala carte and sashimi deluxe. The scallop was very fresh, juicy, and big. The sashimi deluxe was of decent quality! read more

This Brooklyn parkslope Japanese restaurant is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I decided to order food to go in support of our local restaurants. The personnel took our order and it was ready within 15 minutes which was awesome. We had a few hand rolls with a avocado salad it was all delicious. My hands rolls consisted of eel and cucumber with rice and the other one was salmon with avocado with rice absolutely mouthwatering. The fish was extremely fresh melting in my mouth. I truly recommend this little gem of a restaurant. The avocado salad was wonderful with fresh crispy veggies the avocado was creamy excellent. The establishment was ensuring all COVID-19 protocols such as hand sanitizer, people wearing masks, and social distancing. Thanks all for excellent service and please stay safe and well. read more

Whenever I'm feeling indecisive on what to eat, Japanese is my cuisine of choice and Sushi Yashin is a great, casual, neighborhood spot. Whether it's one of their many sushi and sashimi entrees or their kitchen appetizers, I'm always impressed by the quality of the fish and speediness of their chefs. My go to order here is their sushi for two, which comes with 16 pieces of nigiri, 1 special roll, and 1 regular roll of your choice. It's not that often you get to pick the roll and special roll you get with a sushi dinner combo-- special rolls typically set you back around $16 per special roll, so this is actually a very sweet deal. I trust that all their rolls are tasty, but I especially like their dancing eel roll. This place is no frills, but they don't skimp on quality. I'd even come back to try their very reasonably priced $65 omakase. read more

Found this place on Yelp and wanted to take my mom on a nice last minute omakase experience without having to make reservation weeks in advance. Sushi yashin had great reviews and availability. Came in and sat outside, weather was soo nice and there was private space for our party. Servers were attentive, patient and took time to explain everything to us! The food was amazing! We tried the sushi as well as the sushi and sashimi omakase courses, which were extremely filling and decadent pieces of sushi! read more

Food: The Shishito peppers and hamachi carpaccio was ordered as appetizers. Both delicious were fresh and delicious. I ordered the sashimi deluxe as my entree and it was such a great choice. The fish cuts were all well presented and absolutely delicious. The fish they used tasted super fresh. They also had a decent selection of sake to choose from as well! Cost: As with all sushi restaurants, sushi is expensive. However, I thought this place was a tad more expensive for how much/many pieces they gave. My friend and I enjoy omakase however the cost here was on the more expensive side for how many pieces they give. Also the dessert for the omakase was a little dissapointing which made use not want to choose that option even more. Environment: Very cozy. The place is not a big place and I like that. The decoration was nice and not too over the top and dramatic. The bathroom was nice, clean and well kept. Service: The waitress was very good. We didn't have any issues with waiting or needing to flag down someone because she checked up on very well. Uniqueness: The experience itself was unique however I would come here for regular/special rolls and sashimi rather than an omakase. The selection of drinks here were nice as well! read more

My stars were are for the service which was exceptional. Came to eat based are majority of good reviews and I was in the area. Small place on the inside only a few tables but cute and it had some low music playing. Hostess was very nice and immediately seated us and appropriately came to take out orders and was attentive when we needed something. Appetizers -kani salad -ok- not much flavor- fried pumpkin was actually good. Probably the best thing I had tonight. The sushi was a complete miss for me. I ordered the spicy girl roll. - take a look at my picture the tuna in the roll is hardly visible. There was a very funny taste, later I realized it was the spicy mayo- it honestly tasted spoiled to me. I asked the hostess and she politely stated they make it different with tobasco instead of Siracha- I'm still anxiously waiting to see if I get sick. The other special roll ocean roll was not wrapped well and kept falling apart. Eel was not pleasant on the palate. I couldn't put my finger on it. My vegetarian sister enjoy her rolls more especially the sweet potato. They had some interesting vegetarian rolls so I give them kudos for that. Server was great but will not be coming back. read more

surprised I've never reviewed this spot. I've done takeout and dining in. It's a small place but people still come to eat! Great great service. Very attentive. Started with the green tea which is free refills and they really keep them coming. We had gyoza and edamame (both delicious and reasonably priced). The sushi there is quite good and fresh. A tad bit too much rice on the sushi rolls but other than that quite good. The chicken katsu looked amazing and huge portion. read more

I really enjoy this local Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood. The fish is always fresh executed with visual presentation. I just love sashimi which is very good with great selection ranging from fatty Tuna, scallop, salmon etc. I usually have it with some sake excellent for the pallet. The outdoor dining is great the structures are made giving you private with your party. read more

3.5 stars. Pros: - Excellent sashimi and fresh fish, which I've heard is imported from Japan. The blue fin tuna melts in your mouth so I highly recommend. - Enjoyed the Ocean Roll (Eel and mango roll with tuna, salmon, avocado, crunch, masago with eel and spicy mayo sauce.) - Friendly and attentive service Cons: - I got rid of 1 star mostly because of the subpar rice. Given the high ratings here, I was surprised to find the rice slightly hard and tasteless. - Rainbow Roll didn't stand out in flavor or texture. read more

Rating this restaurant 3.5 stars. By no means did anything knock my socks off, but I had a nice dinner here with my friend Lindsey since she lives a stroll away & we wanted to take a walk to Park Slope in the nice weather! Restaurant was clean, very tiny and service was good. Was feeling particularly huge that evening so I opted for a lighter fare-- ordering the cucumber roll, scallop scallion roll, and small garden salad. I'd say the highlight of the dinner was the yuzu vinaigrette on the garden salad- delightfully zingy and fresh. Wouldn't go out of my way to come back but we had a nice average dinner and nothing went wrong :-) read more

This place is great. We were in the neighborhood and came on recommendation from a local business who often come here for lunch. If you're looking for a nice casual sushi spot, definitely worth checking out Yashin. They currently have a decent amount of outdoor seating. Not sure about the indoor situation, but this place isn't really big. For lunch, they have omakase and specials available. We each had a medley of specials. I had the sashimi special (comes with 2x each of king salmon, tuna, mackerel and shimaaji), the Hamachi Kama (grilled yellowtail collar), Giant Sushi (2x scallop, uni, and roe sushi), and an additional Uni a la carte. The fish was all nice and super fresh. I really enjoyed the Hamachi as my main dish and the sashimi to start. The Giant Sushi was a luxury since I haven't dined on sushi since pandemic took over. Really, no complaints overall. I highly recommend Yashin for a casual experience of better sushi. All the sushi was delicious. The outdoor seating was nicely spaced out too so it felt safe dining here. read more

Great quality - fresh fish, delicious rolls, quick delivery. Definitely will order from them again.

Ordered delivery via Doordash a few weeks ago during quarantine. We were all seriously craving some sushi and Sushi Yashin was highly recommended. I had a salmon roll with avocado, an eel roll with avocado, and a spicy scallop roll. The spicy scallop roll was very good and the highlight of the meal. My sister had the eel roll with avocado and a salmon roll with avocado. She said the eel was her favorite. My mom had the eel bowl and it came with so much eel! read more

This is a solid spot for simple and fresh sushi rolls! We dined in and ordered 2 basic rolls and the 5th Ave Roll which was our favorite!

Would recommend for a casual dinner. read more

Everything was great, food, service, seating. It was honestly amazing and I would definitely recommend

We made a Tue 6pm reservation via OpenTable (note for some reason it's listed as under Gowanus neighborhood) which we made the three following comments: Anniversary, Omakase, and Bar seating. It wasn't too busy yet but as we proceeded to order, we weren't given any recommendations or clarifications on the menu. The 15 piece omakase came with 1 kitchen appetizer, 1 hand roll, and 1 dessert. We went ahead and CHOSE a kitchen appetizer - that was our mistake I suppose. What it really meant was everything was chef's choice and it came out to be 12 (not 15) pieces of nigiri, 3 small hot/ cold samples from the kitchen, 1 hand roll, and ice cream. Anyhow the separate order of crab tempura and shrimp tempura appetizer was, just ok and for the $15ea extra we paid, it wasn't really worth it. The rest of the omakase wasn't very memorable: 3 types of mackerel, 3 servings of uni, 1 bluefin tuna, and a single type of soy sauce and presentation for everything. Not a single piece of salmon or octopus was served (which was clearly available in front of us). Most of the time when omakase is ordered, chefs talk to patrons - he was working directly in front of us afterall. Not this guy. Whats also bad about the service/ space was that the server would reach directly in front of me during service - thoroughly annoying. It's a tight space I understand and we would have been more comfortable at the table. Another thing of note was the fact that consistency just wasn't there. Why my partner's fish was cross cut and mine was just slits on top of the torched fish? Why does my uni look wetter than my partner's plate? When dessert came, the server did not acknowledge "anniversary" - so oh well. Very sad omakase service did not offer the variety I was looking for and seeing everything was one-note, I doubt we'll return. read more

First and last time ordering from Sushi Yashin. Ordered via the yelp app and it was a disaster. Their menu specifies that the salmon roll has salmon, crab, eel sauce and cucumber. Odd, but ok - I wanted it for a child, so I wrote in the notes "no wasabi, only salmon and cucumber please". Rolls arrives with salmon and wasabi, that was it. We also ordered 3 special rolls and the amount of actual fish in these was appalling - less then a standard roll is in regular restaurants. Spicy rolls weren't spicy, and the portions were tiny compared to most places that offer special rolls. Ridiculous disappointment. Called to ask that they redo the salmon rolls because of the wasabi. Woman didn't seem to believe me, and then when I explained over and over to look at her own yelp page to read the description and told her she was ruining our dinner on both fronts (my dinner was being ruined by her calling twice and questioning me over and over again over why I didn't fee obligated to pay additional $ for cucumber and my child was starving and screaming), she totally didn't get it. The description said that cucumber was in the darn things, didn't even mention wasabi, and even with my note, they STILL got it wrong. And frankly, take one on the chin lady - if you've ruined my dinner and I ask for the cucumber that is in the description by mistake and it normally costs extra, just honor the description as a courtesy for your error! Add to that, it took 25 minutes to redeliver from 3 blocks away. Won't order from here again. MUCH better delivery available elsewhere, and frankly, much better customer service just about anywhere!! This was a total disappointment on every front. read more

Neutral feelings about this place. It always feel weird seeing Chinese people open Japanese restaurants. It's very small with less than 15 seats. One waitress, two sushi chefs and who knows how many ppl in the kitchen. The waitress was nice but seems like we couldn't communicate with her sometimes. She didn't understand what we were asking until we used Mandarin. Also funny seeing how many people come in greeting the people as if they're regulars and know people. I saw a review about keeping their sake bottle for next time. I think I saw that happen to the table next to me. When they came, the waitress brought out a labeled bottle. I got the salmon grilled salmon, lol at the name. It comes with soup or salad. I got the soup. I typically don't like miso soup but this didn't have that strong of a taste so it was aight. The salmon had a slightly crunchy crust with some buttery sauce. It could be crunchier. The sauce can be more buttery and honeyer. The veggies that came with it were just blanched. It'd be nice if they could be sautéed too. There was too little rice too. I wish rice could be on the side in a separate bowl. 10% off with yelp check in Having flies is a big nono Need to balance off the high ratings with this. Definitely not worth 4.5* read more
