Comment: This restaurant opened years ago, and weve always walked by, I wanted to try it, but the prices were not in our budget. Today, my husband picked me up from the train station at 125th and Lenox. We were hungry, and as we walked by Yuzu, we decided to walk in.Everything was so cozy and serene, I had the Bento box with perfect kaarage and edamame, Hubby had wagyu beef and sake

Comment: First time at a sushi restaurant, so I was not familiar with the menu items. We started with shrimp gyoza, which we really liked. My son had Lobster Don, which he highly recommends. I has a bento box with chicken kara age, rice and edamame; good and very filling.

Comment: The food is really good here.Prices are quite reasonable for New York, and the quality is great. For appetizers, I highly recommend their agedashi tofu. This lightly fried tofu is topped with scallions and served in a dashi broth. It was so good we ended up ordering a second one!For rolls, they have so many delicious choices. We got their California roll, the pickled radish roll, the fried sweet potato roll, and their salmon roll. Each was excellent in their own unique way.I also have to comment on the radish they serve on the side. I really like how fresh this radishes as it is not too strong of a flavor for those who are not used to it. It is a little lighter and sweeter.If you don’t like, fishy smell, sit outside and eat, as the inside of the restaurant is a heavy fish smell. Service is a little slow as they have very few staff serving many people, but they do a good job.

Comment: Food and service is top quality here. Laid back environment with an assortment of sushi dishes from basic California rolls to spicy salmon and tuna rolls. Also, dont forget to ask for the fish of the day.In addition to their sushi bowls they also offer small bento boxes.Their mango crepe is also a gem.

Comment: Well for starters the sushi was great. I had the sushi platter with a California roll and a cold saki. I ate inside, and the service was excellent . Social distancing was practiced as well as mask wearing. I was impressed when some jerk came in without a mask twice and the two ladies told him well call the police and he left. Ill be back again. Quality sushi!!!!! To be totally honest, I would recommend this sushi bar as the best in NYC!!!! Fresh, tasty and prepared proper. You wont be disappointed!!!!

Comment: Had a wonderful time meeting a friend here. While the street is bustling just a block over, Yuzu has calm socially distanced atmosphere. The service was excellent, as our waitress and the management went over and above to help us feel safe and welcome. The food is light yet extremely satisfying, and I highly recommend their sake selections- the Plum Sake is out of this world, delicious. I took home a small doggy bag. We ate outside. Inside, there is no seating, only for MGMT and servers. The restrooms are a straight shot when you walk in, and theres no need to be bombarded with people. Many folks were online for to go orders which speaks to their delicious, clean food. Theyre clearly a welcome addition to the community, as many Black and Brown folks were patronizing the establishment- at least on the night we were there! Overall great food, great service!

Comment: After having lunch in Chinatown, I felt like eating good Sushi. As there are some Sushi places in Harlem, I decided to go to the one with best scoring. You can check the menu or make a reservation on their website.Its located in central Harlem, and the Chef is Tomoyuki Hayashi, one recognized Chef by Sushi lovers here, as there were some people coming there because of him.I wanted to tried different Sushi dishes, but I didnt want to choose them one by one. As they have Sushi dinner courses, I decided to stick with a Omakase Sushi Set.It began with a starter, I was really freaking out from the beginning, the Sushi melt down in my mouth, it was delicious, but it was only the first dish of the set.I sat at the bar, next to the Chef, watching him preparing the Sushi pieces, very meticulously and with love. As soon as he finishes, he put it on the plate and then explained the Sushi piece. Ive to admit it, Ive never tried Sushi as good as this, each piece was a masterpiece. The Sushi pieces are chosen by him and are subjected to the fish they have that day.The ingredients were very fresh, as more as I have more pieces the more I was delighted with the Sushi pieces, and having him very closely preparing them were worth it.After some Sushi pieces, he prepared a delicious tuna roll, and as the last one, I had a Miso soup, very tasty and Tofu pieces were pretty good too.Chefs and waiters were very fast and kind, the site was a bit intimate, with light lower than usual, but the atmosphere was incredible.They have also take away to order and take them.My conclusion, if you enjoy Sushi and you are in New York you must drop by here, Ill do it again.

Perfect place after a hectic day at work or for intimate conversations. Chef Kenny and team are so informative and just a blast to watch. Service is awesome, especially Sinta, super lovely! May I add they have a great selection of sakes, especially junmai ginjos. You must look at their specials board! Even the decors remind me so much of Japan!!! Love this place!

Comment: Amazing sushi. Simple and quality ingredients, down to the point, as sushi intended to be. I dislike the “fake” sushi shops that load up their rolls with mayonnaise and other fillers which spoil people’s tastes. Similar to the review below people who are used to eating bad sushi that are loaded up with filler ingredients won’t appreciate the quality and simplicity of this place.

Great Sushi in a restaurant where you can hear everyone at your table without yelling over crazy loud music, this is your spot. Short wait time too. No downside here and I have been here 6 times.

Highly recommended if you are in the area and looking for good piece of raw fish! Only complaint is the very friendly staffers do not have the best English so make sure your order is fully understood.

Comment: Perhaps it is not a Kid Friendly place...but my 18 year old daughter and I had a deee-lish dinner and experiance, found the staff lovely, helpful and accommodating...the sushi was SO fresh and clean tasting...cant wait to go back! Delighted that there are new fantastic restaurants opening on Lenox...watch out FDB!
