Five stars because it's a pandemic and they have individual outdoor seating booths with heaters! Excellent service, fast and friendly, and if you take the green tea they refill frequently. Beautiful crockery and comfortable furniture. The food is good if you eat fish; for vegetarians, you're really limited to a few sushi options. There are no really vegetarian hot entrees; the udon soup has fish broth, and the tempura is fried in the same oil as everything else, plus the sauce for dipping is not vegetarian (but if you want, they can make an onion based dipping sauce that is vegetarian. There's also a side salad with a vegetarian dressing that would actually make a good dipping sauce. So yeah, not overwhelmed by the vegetarian food options, but it has everything else; service, ambiance, covid precautions. read more

This quiet, minimalist Japanese restaurant serves an extensive selection of basic and specialty rolls, sushi, sashimi, and a number of tasty hot menu items. The quality of the fish is excellent and the staff is incredibly friendly. We opted for a mix of basic and specialty rolls (spicy tuna, salmon, yellow tail, and a special roll I simply forgot the name of!), two orders of miso soup, an order of the shrimp tempura, and a side of sushi rice! We loved all of these dishes with exception of the specialty roll - $14 for two pieces of fish seemed a bit steep. Anyway, we had a wonderful dining experience at Sushi Yashin. Since it's close by, we're sure to return! read more

Service is good. But food is below average and small portions. Can't recommend it. Ambiance is good.

The restaurant is a bit small, but the quality of fish is definitely above C level. In fact, sushi yashin deserves A grade delectables. I definitely recommend enjoying the sashimi and sushi rather than the rolls available. That seems to be the biggest bang for your buck. read more

Mackerel that doesn't tasty fishy. That is the sign of a good sushi restaurant. I personally hate sea urchin, but after the mackerel they get the shot. Second time in my life I've had it and didn't gag. Only other time was in Japan so for that, 5 stars. Omakase is completely worth it and while the post covid speed is a bit slow, the quality of the fish easily makes up for it. 100% we'll be back. read more

Had dinner at Sushi Yashin on Sunday night. Affordable and solid sushi set-up for easy take-out or quick dine-in. Quality: Sushi Yashin is a simple, yet tasty sushi spot in the Park Slope area. We ordered an assortment of standard rolls as well as a combo platter of sushi and sashimi. I believe the Ocean Roll with eel and mango topped with salmon, tuna, avocado, crunch, and spicy mayo was my highlight. However, I was also very happy with the tuna served with the Sushi Sashimi Combo. The Salmon Avocado Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Shrimp Tempura Roll were all fine, but didn't leave much impression. Quantity: I felt it was a solid value for the quantity of fish we received. The Sushi Sashimi Combo is large enough for two. Value: $6.50 for the Salmon Avocado Roll. $6.50 for the Spicy Tuna Roll. $7 for the Shrimp Tempura Roll. $16 for the Ocean Roll. $33 for the Sushi Sashimi Combo. Ambiance: Sushi Yashin is a fairly simple sushi restaurant located in the Park Slope area of Brooklyn. Outside they have built a fairly impressive structure for private dining. Inside the space is small, with just four tables and a sushi counter. I assume they used to have additional seats at the counter, but right now it is mostly used as a place to stack take-out orders. The background music was fairly quiet instrumental music. Crowd: They only have four tables inside, but they were all occupied when we arrived. I also witnessed pick-up orders headed out every ten to fifteen minutes. Service: I was shocked how quick the chefs were to get our food prepped and on the table. Parking: Limited street parking in the area. read more

BEST sushi in Brooklyn that i have tried. I can not believe the quality of the food that comes out of this small hip hole in the wall joint. The fish is so FRESH it's unbelievable. I would absolutely recommend the shrimp shumai. They make it themselves i believe. I only took pictures of a few things but we CHOWED. We had three rolls a bunch of sashimi, pork gyoza, pork ramen and more. Every single thing we had was delicious, fresh, flavorful and made with attention to detail. 10000% recommend. Will be back! read more

Change of staff!!!! It used to be great! Staff really doesn't know what they're serving. Sushi chef is too lazy to make a sushi and sashimi combo for 2, not much variation, only 4 kinds of fish. Overall the experience went down hill. Won't be returning. All the sushi special on the picture won't be served anymore. read more

Well food was ok... won't go back. Place felt dirty. The chair cushions were covered with stains and that was a big turn off. Maybe don't get ivory colored ones that show everything. read more

The difference in quality of fish between Sushi Yashin 2 months ago and today is night and day. The quality of the fish went way up. The selection in the sashimi sampler is more interesting, better cuts, and more delicious overall. Great job. A sushi glow up. read more

Love their assorted seaweed salad. I sub out the accompanying dressing for the yuzu option that's offered with other dishes on their menu because I'm a yuzu freak. No problem. The yellowtail jalapeño app, another fave as are the tuna tastings. I cannot recommend their maki rolls. It appears as if the sushi chef dislikes making them. Sloppy, loose and little attention to detail, which to me, is sacrilegious when it comes to the preparation of sushi/sashimi. Service is prompt and gracious and they will accommodate most substitutions, from my experience. Overall, I'm a fan. read more

I've been unimpressed with takeout from this place on two occasions, once in February for sushi and again just now for chicken udon. The sushi I got (Kaisen don mini, orange roll, spicy tuna) was not as delicious as I hoped, just standard. The white miso soup was the highlight of that order, which is why they are getting 3 instead of 2 stars. Since they were newly opened, I thought I would give them another try. Today's kashiwa udon was plain, boring, generally lacking in flavor. Back home I had to add sriracha, lemon, and soy sauce for it to be something I wanted to finish. The chicken and mushrooms were cooked appropriately, but that wasn't enough. Based on others' praise, I want to believe that they can do better, but I can't say I'm going to try them again anytime soon. read more

Sushi tastes very fresh. The ahi poke had mango, avocado, and tuna with a tasty sesame dressing - highly recommend. The Apollo and scallop rolls were also delicious. Bonus points for the lovely private dining houses. These have room for 4 and feel airy with plenty of light streaming through. They keep the doors open and there are also some openings by the ceiling for ventilation while shielding from the cold wind. read more

Not bad, not bad at all. Returning from a trip that had access to fish yet nothing fresh I was dying to get my hands to some sushi. I was desperate, I was yearning, I didn't care where I went. Checked yelp to find a spot that's halfway my home and the boyfriend's house and figured it's a happy middle ground. Old reviews indicated it's BYOB but that's no longer the case. Don't bother bringing in your own booze folks, they have a liquor license now! Sushi and sashimi combo for two people was ample enough to satisfy the fatty in us and the fish fiend in me. I would recommend the place if you're around the area. There are other spots that can easily top Yashin BUT you have to give the place some props for allowing us to bring our own alcohol and drink it despite having their license. That and they have art for sale. Yes, art for sale. The giant pieces you see on their walls are up for grabs, that is if you have that dough to spare; price tag is about 1000 visits to Yashin. read more

Actual rating: 4.5 For a desire of sushi, we decided to go to Sushi Yashin since it had great ratings and was close by to the gardens. The exterior and interior are quite modern and simple. I especially loved how they had the sushi chef's area. The tables area bit small but definitely sturdy. When we got the 3 sushi rolls, our immediate attention was on their California roll. Most of the time, we're used to seeing imitation crab meat but we noticed it looked different. Without much thought, I grabbed it to eat. As I was chewing, I knew it didn't taste like imitation but I couldn't pinpoint a reason. As a person who doesn't eat crab much, it took my boyfriend telling me it was real crab before realization dawned on me. It was absolutely delicious! Their salmon roll was also fresh, rich and fatty. Their eel roll was good as well. But definitely try their salmon and California! Sake oyakodon - my boyfriend loved it. The salmon was very good for the price we paid. He thinks everything was well worth it. And their ikura was really good! It didn't taste fishy, but rich and deep, like the ocean. It paired well with the rice and everything was seasoned well. I had the kashiwa soba. It was seasoned well - not too salty for my taste. The only down side and the reason why I took off 0.5 stars was the fact their in one of my chicken pieces, they had a towel. :( Aside from that, their chefs and wait staff was very kind and their service was great. The waitress greeted us with smiles and was always checking up on us. Would definitely visit again! read more

I've been to Yashin twice. Both experiences were different. The first time was fantastic. I thought the sushi was fresh, the service was courteous, and the ambiance was nice. Of all the rolls they have, their California Roll is probably one of the best I've had - and I know it's the most cliché sushi ever, but I had never had anything like it like in Yashin. I told myself I definitely would come back here when I'm in Park Slope. But then I came back and I was disappointed. I ordered the California and Dragon rolls, and they were both dry and tasteless. Their crab was harder to chew and it lacked flavor. The server forgot to give us the soy sauce plate, and the bathroom was clogged when I arrived. We ordered the Rainbow and spicy tuna rolls and they were much better. Fortunately they cancelled my California roll after I talked to them. Would I come back here again? Maybe. But I'll know to try other places first if I'm in the area. read more

Such amazingly fresh sushi. Great service. Really cool decor. What more can you ask for? I loved this cute little spot and I can't wait to come back. The fish was super fresh, it melted in my mouth, was delicate, and had no strong fishy flavor (fresh fish should NOT have a fishy taste.) The fish was so fresh that my spicy tuna roll was not prepared with a lot of mayo. This is the first time I've had a spicy tuna roll like this, i feel other places must drown it in mayo to cover up the quality of the fish. Not here. Just the right amount, It really let the flavor of the fish come through. It was perfect and my new favorite. As a matter of fact, usually when I have sushi I dip it in extra spicy mayo and eel sauce that I order on the side. I found myself enjoying it the proper way (lol) with just a tiny bit of soy sauce. It didn't need anything else. Totally different level of enjoyment and appreciation for the fish than anywhere I've been thus far. I also had the Kani salad, which was deeeeeelish. Best Kani salad I've had so far. Edamame was good. And the hot green tea was potent, flavorful, earthy and had a natural sweet aftertaste. The only con I would have to say is I don't believe they have lunch specials? That would be such a great option! Sushi Yashin, I miss you already. read more

The sashimi tastes delicious even for a take out order. You can tell how fresh the fish by the view and the taste. The only con is probably the price of the order. Hopefully I can afford to eat them more often if it's less pricy. :) read more

I really wonder if our order was a fluke. There are so many great reviews for this place so had really high expectations. The quality was below average and definitely not fresh. Spent a lot of money for food I couldn't even eat. read more

I took a chance on this small and rather run down neighborhood spot based on the 4 star rating. Not worth it. Mediocre sushi

Good fast service, delicious sushi. We had the salmon special and it was very fresh good quality. We also had the sushi deluxe which offered a tuna roll and several delicious fresh fish sushi pieces. Highly recommend! read more

Whenever I feel like rewarding myself, I get omakase. I ordered the sushi omakase at the bar and was pleasantly surprised at the array I was given. I eat everything, so I gave the chef the okay to hand me whatever pieces he desired. Appetizers, sushi, one hand roll, and dessert is included. There was a good mix of blue fish and classic pieces like toro. Unlike many sushi restaurants that offer omakase I've been to, this place gives you a bigger cut of fish. My only complaint is that sometimes I got very large, concentrated amounts of wasabi. I love wasabi, but the amount was inconsistent and overpowering at times, covering up the taste of the fish. read more

Despite these COVID times- the service was great. Our server kept checking in on us to make sure we were okay. I got the Apollo roll which was so delicious!

First time went to have lunch and celebrate my friend's bday. We ordered sushi omakase, sushi sashimi combo and Toro.... It was so fresh and taste.

We've had several really good meals here. I love the little outdoor huts that feel like tatami rooms with tables instead of floor seating. We tried the omikase on our last visit, and the fish was very nicely prepared. And while it was slightly less expensive than Katsui, the preparation was not quite as expert, which is why I give Yashin 4 stars instead of 5. read more

Food very nice, pricey but what do you expect in Park Slope. We only ordered for delivery so can't say anything about service or ambiance.

Love this place, my go to for salmon teriyaki, black cod and Ocean roll. Never disappoints!

I probably a 2-1/2 for me. Small interior that is bright, sunny, and clean. We were going to have nigiri sushi but they charge far more for that than anything else. The deal seems to be in sashimi as they charge the same for two pieces of sashimi and one piece of nigiri. I had to ask twice since it's usually the opposite. I think it's because this is a take out place, not a real strict sushi place so the sashimi probably isn't thick or the best cuts as it is culturally supposed to be. We went with maki because of that. We started with some agedashi tofu, which was too thick on crust but nice and hot. They serve it with way to little broth and i did add a splash of soy to improve the flavor. The rolls were good. The rice was very very slightly warm which I prefer to cold (rice should be room temp at least!) Our salmon roll had a bit of a gristly piece but otherwise things were fine. Seems on par with most take out spots but tends to be pricier than similar level restaurants. I blame that more on the hood than the place. Bottom line, if you're not really a sushi connoisseur and just enjoy the standard stuff, this place will be just fine. read more

Sushi Yashin - Japanese Mackrel, Otoro Blue fin tuna, unagi, fresh Kumamoto oysters...SO YUMMY - Japanese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

My agency's office has two Japanese spots like literally next door. One being JPan Sushi and the other Natto. They both suck so bad! So I have been on a hunt for a better location that is in close proximity to my office. Now I'm a bit spoiled since moving from Queens to Brooklyn. In Flushing, I had my favorite Japanese spot called Umi Sushi off of Union Turnpike. They had the bomb sushi and bento boxes. I was always satisfied with their service, the location, the price, and the food. If you look them up, they have over 4 stars. Since leaving, however, I haven't been in luck in finding a replacement of my beloved Japanese food location. Then came this spot. Although it's not close to Umi Sushi in quality, price, and taste, it is better than everywhere else I have been so far in Brooklyn, hence why I have them 3 out of 5 and honestly, I wish they would allow half stars because I felt that it was more of a 3.5 than a 3 but anyway. I love the location, right at the corner, welcoming, and has ample seating. The service was great as well. They were very polite. They actually opened earlier than usual that day, by 10 minutes. Almost all other places make you wait until it's the exact time to open. I took my seat and ordered my food (which was a pork katsu bento box). Wait time was average for my food. A few things about the bento box. Every other bento box I have ever had, they gave you rice. This place does not. Also, they were rather cheap with the katsu sauce. The cup wasn't even half filled, I think it was only a quarter, maybe even less than that. The other thing was that the katsu was on the dryer side, not too dry but slightly dry. The flavor in everything was good, minus the dryness of the katsu. No other complaints. The miso soup was excellent, which is hard to find at many Japanese spots, they are usually a hit or a miss. Theirs was definitely a hit. I also got myself a hot green tea, you can't mess that up can you? So all and all, it's a good spot. Not the best of course, they will never come close to my Umi Sushi in Flushing but this place, I was satisfied enough. Still, I will continue my search for my Umi Sushi replacement in Brooklyn. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears! read more
