Sushi Yasuda

"Sushi Yasuda is one of New York's top destinations for raw fish as unadulterated edible art."

"Whether using fish flown in daily from Japan or the creamiest sea urchin, the chef makes sushi so fresh and delicate, it melts in your mouth." Full review

"The restaurant’s airy interior is made almost entirely of solid bamboo planks, including the rough-hewn bar where chef Tamura and his team craft pure, simple sushi rolls." Full review

"Even though "chef Yasuda is gone", the "raw talent" in the kitchen perseveres at this "top-of-the-line" Japanese near Grand Central known for its "succulent" sushi." Full review

"Sushi- loving diehards... come back time and time again for the spectacularly fresh fish." Full review

"Between the rarified air of Masa and the party-never-stops scene at Sushi Samba is a whole world of sushi dens servicing New Yorkers' raw-fish cravings." Full review

"Seeing the sushi master practice in this bamboo-embellished space is the culinary equivalent of observing Buddhist monks at prayer." Full review

"Everyone has eaten a slippery slice of squid body, but Yasuda serves its snappy legs, lovably chewy fins and, yep, the face, which has an almost crunchy (though pleasant) texture." Full review

"Chefs at other venues like to brandish their knife skills with fans of sashimi folded across vegetables that look like ice sculptures. Not at Yasuda, where sushi, not sashimi, rules." Full review

"Yasuda is known for having some of the best sushi in the city, so we came in expecting a lot and it still blew us away." Full review
