    Big Mac

    This isn't your traditional sushi, it's fusion, but it's good. You're not going to find the long-established edomae style sushi at Yujo or are you going to get the more exotic fish (kohada, iwashi, sawara, etc), but what you will get is a good omakase experience. Yujo enhances their nigiri pieces by putting tasty sauces on top and some of them are pretty creative: salted egg yolk, fish sauce, etc.. Their rice isn't bad either... not as "vinegary" as some other places. I went on a Thursday night to take advantage of their 20 courses - $100/person omakase "deal". If you sit at the bar, the chefs are friendly and will engage with you. If you want a really over the top piece, order the "Big Mac". It literally has like 6 things in it.

    Return or not return? Maybe. T-Thurs 20 course Omakase for $100/pp. including tip. Food decent but not mind blowing. They are really the same Kyodai (old name), but now re-branded with nice decorative restaurant upgrades. Many of the same staff. Decided to treat my kids before they head back to school. Both enjoyed their meals, but we joked why they say no tipping. Service was spotty. Fast delivery of the overhyped first 3 courses, then a long wait. Not your traditional Omakase, but I understand. They do 5 nigiri at a time. Something one does periodically as food was ok. What actually ticked me off was I got charged $2 for a gob of Sriracha. Tacky! Hate to say it, but little things like this could veer me away. We just paid $300 for food!!!

    We had the omakase $100 special that's available on tues-thurs that includes 20 dishes. Because of the price I didn't expect that much, especially because I've been to the salmon nigiri special nights at the other Yujo location. This Yujo location proved me wrong! All the pieces were high quality: They didn't skimp out on any of the fish, caviar, and uni. Every piece was unique and flavorful, and even the ube coconut ice cream dessert was fantastic. The presentation of every dish was also very pretty, and we also enjoyed talking to the sushi chefs throughout the entire night. It has a nice modern vibe to it and I think it can suit any occasion. Will definitely be back!

    My daughter and son-in-law have been telling me for years about a place they go for sushi that's simply amazing, and what a treat it was to finally visit. I had expected something similar to my favorite sushi spots, but maybe with a few outstanding special rolls. Yujo Umi was so much more. My son and son-in-law ordered the traditional omakase. My daughter chose a waygu roll and a couple hand rolls. I elected to try the 16-course omakase special ($100 with the tip included in the price) and added an oyster and waygu nigiri. I had no idea how good sushi could be. I could be mad at myself for not taking more pictures, but the bliss I experienced with every course left me somewhat entranced. The waitstaff explained each course, and next time I'll know to jot them down. Everything was so fresh and buttery. For the dessert, I chose an yuzu ice cream adorned with frosted corn flakes. It was the perfect ending to a meal I didn't want to end. They have apparently remodeled the place, and it has a nice ambiance. The staff was attentive without hovering, and so friendly. This will definitely not be my last visit.

    Had a reservation for Omasake and the food was delicious! We were seated at a booth even though I thought we'd be sat in front of the chefs at the bar for the experience. Regardless most the food came out within 10 minutes of the next dish. It's more casual than fancy which is odd for the prices.

    They finally reopened!! We came for their "we're back" special which is 20% off their menu not including their drinks. Everything was amazing!!! The workers were so attentive and helpful it was a great experience. The fish was so fresh I was in love. My favorite was the oyster shooters and the Foie gras with chu toro, they were so good I had to get another order of both to end the meal! I would definitely be back, and would definitely recommend going this month while the special is still going on!!

    My hairstylist said great things about this place, so I had to try it out. They have a discount on Thursdays, but I could only go on the weekend. Formerly Kyodai, this restaurant is known for their omakase. We went on a Saturday night. Omakase was $110 per person with a set menu. We were seated right away with no wait time. There was the option to sit at the bar or table. Restroom was clean. The service was excellent and very attentive. Our waters were constantly refilled. Once we were done with one dish, we were immediately given the next item. The waitresses were very knowledgeable in presenting and explaining the ingredients of each dish given that it was during their soft opening. They were also very friendly with a smile on their faces. The presentation of each dish was nice. Having my fair share of omakase, I would say the food tasted average. There wasn't anything that stood out. Some of my favorites were the fatty salmon with uni and silky smooth egg custard. Overall, it was great place for date night. I probably wouldn't make the far drive to go here unless I'm in the area.

    Came in on Tuesday night with reservation. We picked Ultimate Omakase course. The sushi is fresh and delicate. My favorite is Unagi-Fois Gras, which is really balanced, not too fatty/greasy even with goose liver.

    Great food, poor service. I ate here on my birthday and they do not do anything special for birthdays. They did not even wish me a happy birthday despite me adding it was my birthday on the reservation. Someone sitting next to me wanted to buy me oysters and a birthday shot but I was told my time slot for my reservation was over and I was asked to leave. I will not be coming here again. Which is unfortunate considering it was delicious. For the price there are much better options for a special occasion.

    My girlfriend made reservations to try the $100 omakase special. It was 20 courses I believe. I didn't realize this place used to be Kyodai Handroll Bar. Definitely changed the interior design, and it's quite beautiful. A different vibe for sure. The $100 omakase had a nice selection of nigiri, cold plates, and a Handroll. I also ordered extra off the regular menu to try. Service here was good, our waitress was nice. I enjoyed all the nigiri pieces very much, this place has a great quality in fish. Some prices for the specialty rolls and fish were a tad higher than other omakase places. Presentation was beautiful, however some of the flavor combos on the cold tastings were just ok. Nothing was truly memorable, except the Hirame Kosho, that was probably the best tasting dish. Some of the others were lacking the flavors. Cool spot for sushi, can't say I won't be back but also can't say if I would purposely make a trip back out to Frisco to go back. But if you live in the area, their fish quality is great!

    We used to come to this restaurant before this was Yujo Umi. It was good but boy, they are SO MUCH BETTER NOW! Every piece of omakase is a masterpiece in flavor. Very carefully and well-crafted. My husband cannot stop making the "hmmm!! HMMM!! YUMM" sounds. We had the 16 course omakase, I could not eat all. It's alot yall! Service is outstanding. We are celebrating My husband's bday here and they gv him a lil cake to celebrate. We have tried UCHI couple times, honestly this restaurant offers better flavors. It's very fresh. Also more affordable! So yeah I would recommend this place better than UCHI. Our server diligently kept checking on us. Offering to refill our tea often. She is very good! Ambiance is cozy. Intimate, beautiful, and elegant. We will come back every month..

    Nice place to try omakase for a more affordable price. The sushi itself tasted great, and all of the dishes were fresh and balanced. The omakase experience also included crepe cakes at the end. I got the tiramisu and matcha flavors, and both were good. I sat at the bar, but the chefs were not very conversational with us. Still had a pleasant experience, just wished that they explained each dish more. Interior was really nice. Would definitely come back to try more of their salmon deals!

    Am loving their rebrand and remodeling. We went with our usual order of a set of hand rolls, Kyodai Roll, and some nigiri. The menu, service, and decor hold the same quality as always. Everything is freshly made and the attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of the meal.

    Is the AYCE Omakase menu the same as the regular omakase?

    AYCE is 16 to 20 course, then you can repeat unlimited whatever you got from the omakase

Next we got the Sashimi premium tray and let me tell you, the next 20 minutes we were oohing and swooning over each sliver of fish they had served which had come from Japan and many other countries around the world. Next we ordered their Pork Belly skewers which were glazed so beautifully that each piece brought a burst of never experienced before flavors. Certainly a gem of a dish! Next we got the sizzling A5 Wagyu over rice which as hand tossed table side (video added) The flavors and textures in this dish left us in raptures!!
