Fish is always excellent quality! Love the hamachi Kama. Service is hit or miss. Some staff are lovely and others are… not. Will keep visiting and keep fingers crossed our server will be in a good mood. Ha.
Amazing sushi. Beautiful restaurant. Friendly staff. The fish was so fresh and there wasn’t a piece I didn’t enjoy. I got the sushi deluxe. You choose a roll and the chef decides 9 pieces of nigiri for you. They did ask if I was ok with eel before selecting. Definitely recommend!
Best sushi in my life. Really worthy. We took takeaway to Central Park for picnic. Fish is so fresh and delicious. Will recommend to everyone!
Sushi Yasaka is a popular Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood. It is worth the wait, but sometimes it gets very busy. I wish the tempura ice cream was made/ fried fresh.
Best local sushiya in UWS. Go for the lunch special, they have really great sushi choices. Their omakase is also affordable and fresh!
The taste was so good!!
I see many local residents came casually with their companions. Glad to find this hidden gem.
Sushi seems easy, but Sushi Yasaka does it well and consistently. The choices of fish is consistently good mix of red and white fish. The quality of fish is consistently good. For the night I just want to same old good quality sushi take out Sushi Yasaka is consistently good.
Tip: You can order takeout form their own website. No extra cut.
Small, cozy and BUSY! Our meal was excellent. Fish is fresh, good service but definitely make a reservation. Place is packed and people coming in with no reservation were told the wait time is 2 hours! Glad we had one.
We have ordered from Yasaka a few dozen times, it is our go to spot for good sushi on the UWS without breaking the budget. Reasonably priced, good quality, super quick delivery. The restaurant gets very packed during peak hours.
Delicious high quality ingredients, authentic preparations, very reasonable prices. The lunch menu offered all days of the week is a fantastic deal! For under $20 a person you can have a delicious meal for whatever you are craving in the moment whether that's sushi, sashimi, chirashi, soba noodles, or a bunch of other bento box options.The cold soba noodles were perfectly bouncy with a delicious dipping broth on the side. The sushi combo had a bunch of high quality cuts including the fatty tuna and king salmon with seared skin.
The quality of the fish is great. Omakase is tasty, the sauce and seasoning are perfect. I wish they have a full course omakase at lunch but the mini one is good anyway. The roll that come with mini set is absolutely delicious.
Good service, delicious fish. Really great choice of different sets (sashimi, sushi, mix, rolls, a full or half omikase) as well as fun traditional and modern/fusion appetizers and sides.
I lived in Japan for 7 years, so I value good sushi. They rely on gold quality fish, not flash seasoning/sauces. The quality here was excellent.
Not cheap, but not break the bank expensive. Good for the price.
the omakase was amazinggggg and the vibe was soooo good and the service was so niiice. i’ll def come back!
I had Sushi Yasaka for the lunch special. Usually when we talk about lunch special you would think they're giving you lower quality scraps, however Sushi Yasaka does not compromise on quality. The lunch special came with a choice of soup or salad, 6 pieces of nigiri (which were all very good quality fish), and a roll of your choice (i had the unagi/eel). It was all very good and for the price I cant see any better sushi in the area.
This is my favorite sushi place for this price point. Everything is super fresh and delicious. I’ve been coming here for many years and have never been disappointed, unless they have no room to seat walk ins. Make a reservations for all times, lunch and early dinner including. They get packed !
They have great lunch specials and
All of their appetizers are delicious.
Bring your appetite !! 🍣🍤🥟🍱🍰🍶🍻
This is my favorite sushi spot. The fish is top quality and the prices are reasonable. My go-to is the sushi a la carte - the seared tuna and seared salmon are exceptional. It's always full inside, which speaks to how good this place is. Definitely make a reservation!
Great value for local Omakase sushi.
