Sushi Yasuda remains a top-top elegant sushi restaurant in Midtown East near the UN and Grand Central. With fish sourced from Japan and great choices, it's hard to find better. read more

My friend and I were craving Omakase, and we had heard good reviews about sushi Yasuda. We made a same-day reservation and we greeted warmly when we arrived. The space was beautiful and serene with an ode to Japanese traditions. We were seated at a table, but the sushi bar was in sight and was absolutely stunning and pristine. We order the 10 piece Omakase, which came out in a timely manner, and the server explained each dish to us. It was absolutely delicious and very fresh. It had been quite some time since I've had really good quality sushi and this hit the spot. We shared the dessert special melon, which was a nice way to cleanse the palate and finish off the meal. Overall, we had a solid experience at sushi Yasuda, and it was well worth the experience. read more

Excellent sushi. Attentive service (if a bit stuffy). Beautiful decor. A really wonderful place to eat.

Having just returned from a trip to Japan, I was really craving fresh sushi. Hadn't been back to Yasuda for a few years, so decided to give it another shot. And I must say, it was definitely even better than I remembered! The fish was as fresh and tasty as I experienced in Japan. On top of it all, service was up to Japanese standards, and I felt like a valued client from beginning to end. Yasuda is back on the top of my list of go-to sushi spots in NYC! read more

Sushi Yasuda - Lunch Omakase - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

From the dreary manhattan street into this bright and light wood interior, we were greeted vigorously and treated well to sit at the sushi bar. Watching the chefs prepare the food is not a grand event like social media hypes but it is endearing to have the chef ask "uni and eel ok??" And yes sir it definitely is, fmu We got the 15 piece omakase as well as a softshell crab. I would skip on the crab it didn't add much to the experience All pieces were wonderfully crafted and placed before us, I think they overheard our yapping and gave us 2x toro during the course. Only the eel was not satisfying, because it had such a high bar to meet, unfortunately it isn't as melty/fatty as in other places I'd been Watch out if you want tap water make sure to specify otherwise you're getting charged for bottled. Great meal, fantastic mouth feels (scallop and uni were incredible) read more

Not gonna lie.. I was super underwhelmed. PROS: The service was excellent. The space was serene and calming. Very zen. One hand roll, the cooked course, and one of the sorbets CONS: this was my first omakase experience so I had nothing to compare it to at the time, but I remember thinking "Is this it? This is omakase?? This is what all the hype was about??? It's just well-marketed, overpriced sushi......." because the courses tasted so basic (and kind of bland, if not fishy). I almost rejected omakase for the rest of my life (and could've missed out on some great restaurants) due to this first experience because I really thought all omakase would be like this. Also, it was extremely warm in there so our spoonfuls of gelato melted before I could eat it. I feel sorry for (and appreciative of) the guy who brought me here on our first date and shelled out $500+ because I would not willingly come here again nor if I were the one paying. There are so many other places you could enjoy your $500+ read more

I was lucky to have an incredibly thoughtful husband book us reservations for the bar (to experience true Omakase) for my Birthday!! Pictures don't do the TASTE and EXPERIENCE justice but I'll try... Incredible nod to the thoughtful table settings. Everything perfectly aligned and those chopsticks (and rest) were awesome. Sashimi course (top: tuna cheek, striped jack, Japanese sardine, bottom left: baby sea bream, bottom right: giant glam) and small appetizer of Oshitashi (bottom center). Sushi Pt 1 (sea bream, amberjack, medium fatty tuna, Japanese cherry salmon, jack mackerel, skip jack, spot prawn, marinated tuna, king salmon). Sushi Pt 2 (fatty tuna, scallop, Japanese sea perch, snow crab, sea eel, salmon roe, fatty tuna hand roll, uni, uni hand roll). Thank you to the staff at Sushi Yasuda - especially our Chef - that was an incredible experience that I won't soon forget. read more

Came here for the first time and it was pretty good. First off I love the really authentic Japanese atmosphere. Sat at the counter for the full omakase experience. Started with a fried shrimp appetizer and a glass of sake. The app was good but nothing mind blowing. Next the omakase started coming. the tuna and salmon just kept getting buttery and more buttery. There's no question of the excellent quality of fish. But over all I wasn't blown away by anything. I guess I would prefer a few more innovative dishes sprinkled in. Overall the meal was good but for the $$$$ not sure it was worth it. read more

Came here for lunch with a friend and we had a great time. The interior of the restaurant is spacious, wooden, bright, and clean. Service is very polite and kind. They have a couple omakase sets that you can choose from but we did the omakase until you stop. All of the cuts that we got were amazing and the variety of the sashimi was very nice. My favorite piece was definitely the unagi with salt (a very different experience than what you normally have with the sauce!!). In the end, we had around 15-17 pieces and the bill came out to be ~$700. Overall, I'm not sure the "eat-till-you-stop" is worth the price, but the sushi was good and I would be down to try their omakase set another time! read more

Excellent 15-piece $170 omakase in an upscale environment with unbelievable service. Fish was super delicious, fresh and excellent presentation by our sushi chef. Bluefin tuna was a standout as was super fresh Hokkaido sushi, but everything felt fresher and more luxe than even the normal omakase spots in NYC. Top top. Was here maybe 10 years ago and even better than I remembered. read more

Corporate and sleek are what come to mind when I think of Sushi Yasuda. The floral ikebana arrangements are very welcoming and the lighting of the restaurant goes against what one would experience in a mid 2010s Hollister store. We both ordered omakase (sushi & sashimi combo) with plum wine (option of on the rocks or without). While I've enjoyed plum wine at past restaurants, it felt a bit too sweet so we had to dilute it with ice. For omakase, usually it's an experience done well at bar seating, however we were seated in the dining room area, so it felt less authentic-they also ask when you'd like your final round of omakase to be which feels odd from a price scaling point. How do I know the best part of the fish will come later if I end my omakase round now? We did order cold sake towards the end of the night, but they completely forgot about that, which felt like some oversight from their end given that it wasn't that busy. The uni, otoro, and salmon at least tasted fresh and were highlights of the fish for me! read more

I did not see a sign when I found this spot. The only sign was thin written letters I noticed on the door. When entering the first set of doors the second set of doors were slid open by a staff member. I was asked if I had a reservation but it was no problem because they found me a spot. As I looked around I could tell they methodically placed everyone to give each person or group the most privacy so each could have their own private experience. Everywhere I looked was spotless and just immaculate. The staff was as perfect as a fairy tale and the quality of the sushi was the highest I have encountered in the United States. The moment my glass was half empty someone would come out of nowhere and refill my glass before disappearing again. The rice is perfectly cooked, prepared, and seasoned. Every slice of fish was the perfect thickness as well as fish to rice ratio. The serving temperature of the sushi was spot on. The fatty tuna was as if I were eating a fish version of A5 wagyu from this year's contest winner. Every piece was perfect. I was offered one last piece and somewhere in cloud 9 I forgot to take a picture but this single piece of fish was melt in your mouth like eating a cloud! When I gave them my card I was brought a hot tea that was the perfect ending. I normally do not write reviews before I return from a trip but this one deserves immediate credit. If you're looking for a quiet place and want quality then look no further. The flavors, textures, and thought processes is truly art. If you can only see one place in New York then make this it. read more

Not sure if it's because I didn't sit at the bar, but the fish didn't taste very fresh. The fish also didn't feel very soft. I was kind of disappointed because this is supposed to be a high end omakase experience, but it didn't really feel that way. Everyone was super nice though, and service was relatively fast! read more

Sushi Yasuda - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We had a reservation for dinner, but the table wasn't ready & was told to wait outside the sliding door. The host kept us waiting there for 15 minutes without any update. He was abrupt with other customers as well. No gracious Omotenaahi. The menu was a regular kind. The sake was pricey going mostly over $200 a bottle. There are hundreds of excellent sakes available elsewhere at $100-150, so I'd say the selection is overpriced & limited. Because I had a gut feeling I wouldn't like their nigiris with various sauces, I ordered them plain. The sushi rice was lacking proper flavor. The neta toppings were on a small side. Based on the quality, I surmised the chefs are not classically trained. I've had far better sushi at "Kaiten zushi" shops in Japan (well, I've been to only two such restaurants while mostly going to regular sushi places). Basically, Sushi Yasuda is barely on par with average sushi restaurants in Japan. Not recommended to sushi connoisseurs who have tasted good sushi in Japan. read more

We had been looking forward to having dinner here. The food was disappointing. We ordered the sushi and sashimi omakase. Many of the fish pieces were not fresh however the sashimi was delicious. The service was great. The servers paid close attention to water and tea refills- they filled it without even asking. They waited an appropriate amount of time in between courses and were attentive without being overly interruptive. The restaurant decor is pretty impressive. Floor to ceiling wood creates a soothing and refreshing atmosphere within the restaurant. The accents were minimalistic and very nicely put together. read more

Heard that they were one of the OG omakase spots back in the day so I was glad I got a chance to try their food! Overall felt that their sushi was solid but not sure if its worth the price point. Our appetizer was a special of the day, Sawagani, which were whole miniature soft shell crabs that were flash fried. It was deliciously well-seasoned and wish we ordered more. They have a 12-piece set for $130 and a 15-piece set for $170, as well as other options. It was hard to pick my favorite but my top few were the New Zealand King Salmon, winter hamachi, eel, and probably scallop. The salmon was super tender with a great meat to fat ratio. The yuzu zest complimented the hamachi nicely. The eel was crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, but also covered with the sauce. My set also included needle fish, blue fin tuna, yellow tail, icelandic salmon, mackerel, spot prawn, and a shrimp-based broth. The fish were pretty fresh and rice well-seasoned. For some pieces, I felt that the wasabi to sushi ratio was a little high but my partner did not find that an issue. Staff were very attentive and polite. The restaurant was very minimalistic. Would recommend sitting at the sushi counter for an optimal omakase experience! It makes sense for them to be on the pricer side with their high quality seafood imported from all over the place; however end-product flavor wise I felt like was comparable to other omakase places (at lower prices). Would be interested in returning to check out their al la carte items! read more

Hate to be a snob, but I grew up having the privilege to enjoy the most authentic & highest quality sushi (Japanese cuisine in general) ever since a very young age. I am definitely what they call a sushi snob. And as a certified sushi snob, this spot was NOT worth my money. I went here during a NY trip with my family. We all got the $130 omakase (12-piece course). Nobody was quite satisfied. Quantity-wise, 12 pieces for $130 is fine, but they lacked in several areas. There is not only a lack of diversity in the course -- offering the most basic nigiri (your good old tun, salmon, yellowtail, mackerel) -- but the quality was mediocre too. Of course, in the grand scheme of the sushi world the quality is obviously on the better side. But that's kind of the bare minimum I expect from this price range. The size of the nigiri is very small too. This might be their "style" but it just comes off as a money saver move that takes away from the customer experience. The rice in their nigiri was also quite mediocre. White seasoned decently, it is almost too brittle to the point where it breaks too easily in your mouth. There is no "glued-ness" or structure to the rice at all, and the rice is easily half of what makes good nigiri. I've had better sushi with a $90 omakase course in California. The ambience, however, is quite nice and the place is very spacious. Good interior design that feels premium. But personally I don't like it when restaurants try to cover up their mediocre food with the superficial things. Make better sushi please. read more

Michelin one star omakase spot! Came here for my bday and had a great time! We each got the 12 pc omakase set with a few appetizers. Solid omakase spot- the stand outs are the toro (literally melts straight in your mouth) , Hokkaido uni (they packed IT UP). I also really liked the sawani fresh White Sea eel. Among the appetizers, the Chilean sea bass is a must! We also ordered the chawan mushi which is an egg custard with shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and gingko nuts, not a huge fan of this as the flavors are really mild. For drinks, we got the niigata junmai which is really smooth! For dessert, we got the mochi ice cream and since it's for my bday, they also gave us a fruit set which was cute. Overall verdict, very nice ambiance, solid food! read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday. Reservations were made for the sushi counter at 530. The restaurant is so beautiful natural wood, bright and minimal. Got seated right away and service was excellent from the start. We opted for the 15 piece omakase priced at $170. Also got the cod to share as appetizer as the waiter said it was their most popular dish. It didn't disappoint, the fish was tender and so flavorful--really tasted the sake and soy. The omakase was an excellent experience. Our sushi chef gave us some explanations before each piece. This place really highlights the flavor and texture of the fish with the rice. Each bite was so good. We got a plate of fruits for dessert with a candle to celebrate the birthday. Would come back! read more

Came here for lunch today, made a reservation about 1 week ago. Overall was not hard to reserve. They opened the door at noon sharp and we were seated. I sat by the bar and ordered the 15 course omakase. The restaurant was really spacious and very well organized, it gave off a very clean vibe and the set up was perfect for both group dining and solo dining. The server was very nice, brought cleansing towels and introduced the menu. During the course of the meal, my water was always full bc they were always paying attention to refill it, which I really appreciated. The chef was very nice, he asked if we had food allergies and if we wanted to replace anything before starting the omakase. The food was of course amazing. You can tell the fish quality was very fresh and top notch. It tastes different than any random sushi place bc the fish was extra soft and juicy. Most courses already have soy sauce or some kind of sauce on it so did not even need to use soy sauce. Overall it came out to about $220 after tax/tip. I would say for a casual sushi meal, I likely would not choose this place and would go somewhere with more bang for your buck; but for a sushi lover, this was a unique and great experience. Would recommend this place for sure! read more

Overall: 2/5 Food: 2/5 - I came here with my party initially planning on getting the omakase but after seeing how the experience would be, I opted on doing a la carte and got two handrolls and two sushi pieces. I got the toro handroll and salmon handroll and salmon and yellowtail sushi. I thought the handrolls would be rolls cut up into 6 pieces - as that is what is said on the menu but it came out as just a roll making it a bit difficult to eat. The taste was also just any sushi you can find at a low-mid price range sushi place so I'm not too sure what the high pricepoint is. Value: 1/5 - My meal ended up to around $56 for two small handrolls and two sushi pieces. I am fine paying a high price if the value is there but the taste was just like any cheap sushi place so I cannot justify paying this price. My cousin got the omakase and it was like no other omakase experience in a bad way where the customer is unable to view the sushi making and is just given the sushi pieces all at once. The sushi pieces itself were also not that impressive for the pricepoint. I have been to omakase places in nyc for a lower pricepoint for better tasting/visually pleasing sushi. My cousin was also disappointed with her omakase experience and I am glad I did not opt to get that. Service: 4/5 - Our server was nice and the interior of the restaurant is nice. Overall, this place was extremely disappointing. After walking out, my whole party all agreed that this place had been the worst sushi place we had all been to just because the value is not there. I would not recommend or come back simpy because the value is not there and there are so many other places that can serve this quality of sushi for a quarter of the price. The only good thing from this place is the pretty interior. read more

Easily the BEST omakase experience I've ever had to date. It was 6-7 years ago I first stepped into this restaurant for my first omakase ever experience, bawling my eyes out on how incredibly delicious sushi could be. To this day, it remains my top dog in terms of quality. Since my first visit, I've at least sat down at 16 other omakases with one of those being in Japan, and tonight proved that it just wasn't bias for being my first ever omakase. The wife and I opted for the sushi and sashimi omakase market price experience (a.k.a. eat until you say stop), first starting off with a nice spread of sashimi with the classic Nigiri-zushi to follow. In our list of bites were (but not limited to) seabream, amberjack, mackerel, a tuna flight, Hokkaido uni, scallop, eel, flounder fin muscle, and golden eye snapper to finish us off. There were very few pieces I could honestly say I had better elsewhere. Amazing rice. Amazing soy sauce. A nice, clean, organized atmosphere with lighting that brings out the vibrant colors of the fish. The tea was... perfect (roasted rice green tea for digestion). I could never eat away from the bar as it adds a layer to the experiencd that I'd rather not go without--chef's movements were like poetry, and it was if the master himself was showing his techniques to the younger chefs. The whole experience brought back amazing memories while also creating new ones. If you haven't tried Sushi Yasuda, you're missing out on one of the most authentic, luxurious sushi experiences within the States. A little pricey, sure, but definitely a place that will make an impression. They appear to now accept tips whereas they did not during my prior visit, which is a shame. It does take away from the authenticity I initially felt during my first experience. However, you cannot deny their impeccable services. Cheers! read more

We were tucked away in a quiet corner of the restaurant, which was fine because no one else was sitting in our area. But then a male diner came to sit at the table next to us and curiously began to belch, ruining the atmosphere. He also played with his phone, sound on, which was incredibly disruptive. Food-wise, we got the Omakase 15 ($170), which the menu describes as '15 pieces of sushi (no sashimi) and a half roll' -- but we never received the half roll. As for the grilled add-ons, we got the Chilean Sea Bass dai-ginjo kasuzuke (grilled sea bass marinated in sake reduction, $23.50) as well as the Salmon (grilled with teriyaki sauce, $17), which were fine but nothing to write home about. For dessert, we got the tiramisu mochi (~$20), which was innovative and tasty. Overall, a disappointing experience as the service felt EXTREMELY rushed although we were in the earliest (5p) seating, and the food was only so-so. Bathrooms are clean. NOT RECOMMENDED. read more

First time back at Sushi Yasuda since the pandemic and it was, honestly, disappointing. The fish is still exquisite. Some of the best you can find outside of Tokyo and the equivalent of the very best, most expensive, omakase spots around Manhattan. The rice to fish ratio seemed to be more rice than you would want or expect. The chef had a heavy hand with the wasabi and the soy sauce seemed a bit too salty. The service was fine, but just ok. Given that it was not full, the vibe was not the same (which may have been also due in part to the higher proportion of tourists). Sadly, Sushi Yasuda ain't what it used to be. read more

Sushi Yasuda - Tiramisu mochi desert is the best!!!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

This is my favorite Omakase experience anywhere in the world. I love many other places, but this takes the crown. I had the Omakase 15, plus an extra 6. If I could go back here and eat one piece of sushi forever, it would be the Hokkaido uni over nori. The piece was the most perfect sushi piece I've ever eaten. The full mouthfeel, the temperature of the uni, the full flavor of the uni (which wasn't overwhelming), the cohesion of the nori, the perfect texture of the uni, balanced with the rice (which had the perfect blend of umami and vinegar) just was perfection. The chefs were attentive and answered all questions respectfully. Eat the sushi with your fingers and use the towel to clean your fingers in between pieces. Do NOT use the soy sauce if you have Omakase. They flavor each piece perfectly. I learned something new... eat some fresh wasabi (which isn't overwhelmingly spicy at all) and wash it down with sake. It is my new OMG. I absolutely had a sushigasm with each new piece and cleaned my palate with ginger and sake in between each. It was like a roller coaster ride of a sushi experience where there were peaks of perfection followed by a curve of sushi excellence. The check is not for the faint of heart if you get Omakase and sake. Appetizers and desserts will also continue the upward trajectory of your bill. Rest assured, it is worth every penny if you are someone who loves a great sushi experience and is adventurous, or if you're just a sushi snob. If you don't care about sushi and the experience, this is not the place for you - move along, move along. I love my cheap sushi places, don't get me wrong. This experience is just on a whole other level and one to write home about. I ordered the Wakayama Kid sake and the Toyo Bunin Extra Dry sake. The Kid sake tasted like a sweet nigori sake, but filtered. The extra dry had a very light body and not something I'd get again. Service is outstanding, anticipatory, and accommodating. Remember to tip well. Make reservations well in advance to get to sit at the sushi bar for Omakase. read more

One of the best Sushi Omakase and our all the time favorite in NYC! We've never had disappointment even once for years. We went on Sat evening at end of August and 2 hours omakase experience was fabulous again. Sushi chefs and Sushi quality is always the top level here. We love ambiance as well, all is true authentic Japanese and even servers are Japanese. We truly enjoyed at the sushi counter and our chef was Mr. Kobayashi and he was fantastic and professional, we also enjoyed conversation with him too. We can't wait to return again! I forgot to take all of pictures since all were so good and I ate up quickly, here are some of pics at the counter - read more

Unsure how the dining in experience here is but the takeout was honestly nothing short of disgusting. Unsure how they claim this to be omakase. The uni was definitely rotten and the shrimp was the fishiest shrimp I've ever eaten. The fish roe pictured had the most tough exterior I had to bite it for it to pop. I'm surprised I didn't get food poisoning. Threw out the rest as the smell/ taste was unbearable. Unacceptable how this cost $200 when it really should have been $20. read more

Such a fun and tasty omakase spot. Got the 15 course and it ended up being ~$200 pp after tax and tip. Each piece of sushi came with a sizable fish on top - towards the end I feel like we ended up with a lot of rice as well, making each bite a lot. I was definitely full by the end of this meal! The omakase came with lot of standard pieces: Uni, Otoro, Botan Ebi.. The pieces that stood out the most to me (both positively and negatively) are: Eel (5/5): I'm usually not a huge fan. This was insane! So good and so fresh and actually really tasty and didn't feel like it was just drowned in a sauce. I'm not a fan of cooked fish but I liked this. Botan Ebi (5/5): This is always my favorite, especially when they deep fry the head and serve it on the side. Absolute perfection! Otoro (3/5): Not very fatty. Not sure what was up with this piece. Other than the rice getting to be a lot towards the end (inconsistent?), the service was good. The chef kept asking us if we liked it. He was particular with our preferences which we enjoyed. Ambience was nice and the place was very minimalistic. We also weren't too close to other people so could talk without interruption. read more

I hosted a businesses dinner here and while it was overall enjoyable, I was expecting just a bit more from a Michelin one star restaurant. All five of us had the 12 piece omakase and then ordered some sushi ala carte afterwards. Although we all ordered omakase, I liked that we did have the option for just one or two of us to get it unlike some restaurants where it's the entire table or none. The chef will take into account individual preferences, like whether you don't want eel, shrimp, etc. The sushi quality was excellent. Some of the appetizers, however, were disappointing. The edamame and boiled spinach with shaved bonito were fine though not outstanding. But the grilled salmon with teriyaki sauce and the fried prawns with green tea powder were huge misses--the salmon was hard and dry and prawns were skinny and not plump at all, covered with a sesame seed coat that hid any flavor. They did not make a good first impression and it was frankly very surprising in such a high quality restaurant. We were seated in a private room with a table for six, quiet and private but removed from the buzz of the main dining room so it can be good or bad depending on your group. Service throughout was outstanding--we never waited long for a server, cups were refilled regularly, and dishes came out quickly (sometimes a little too quickly). Service-wise, Sushi Yasuda holds itself to the standards in Japan, where this is common in a high end restaurant. It leaves me to wonder if the Michelin one star comes from the ambience and service more than the food. At more than $260/person including tax and tip, I'm not sure I would come back soon. read more

Outstanding omakase experience! We tried the 15 piece omakase for dinner. Each piece was incredibly fresh and outstanding. Each piece was perfectly prepped and melt in your mouth delicious.

Our favorite was definitely the toro. read more
