This place is great, and I had discovered another sushi dish that is to die for “Engawa”. It is sooooo delicious, I have not seen it in any of sushi restaurant’s menu. We decided to try it, and we ended up ordering like 5 orders of it (nigiri style, 2 PCs each order). It’s part of a flounder around the fins area and they sear it and have a little taste of yuzu as well. Very simple but very good. The rest of the dishes are phenomenal as well. I’ll definitely be back here.

Yuzu Japanese Sushi Bar truly exceeded my expectations. Every dish was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh — you can tell they really care about quality and balance.

We ordered the 10 pcs Premium Sushi, which included bluefin tuna, toro, shima-aji, jumbo scallop, black snapper, halibut, yellowtail belly, king salmon, amberjack, and eel — every single piece was melt-in-your-mouth fresh. I also added uni sushi, and the uni was creamy, sweet, and super clean with no bitterness.

The Black Snapper Carpaccio was light and refreshing, with crispy garlic chips, gobo, and a subtle kick from the yuzu pepper that tied everything together perfectly.

One of my favorites was the White Fish Tempura — crispy on the outside, tender inside, with hotate scallops, jalapeños, fruits, citrus zest, and a sweet soy yuzu reduction that gave it such a unique flavor profile.

The Uni Hotate Yuzu was outstanding: Hokkaido scallop topped with seared uni, finished with spicy yuzu pepper and sea salt — rich, umami, and perfectly balanced.

For hot dishes, the Miso-Glazed Chilean Sea Bass was buttery and flaky, paired beautifully with sautéed bok choy and caramelized onions. The Wagyu Katsu Sando was another highlight — crispy, juicy wagyu beef with cabbage slaw and housemade Japanese BBQ sauce on soft milk bread. So satisfying.

We also tried the Grilled Chicken Teriyaki, which was tender and flavorful with a nice caramelized finish, served with broccolini.

The Truffle Essence Roll was indulgent but not overwhelming — deep-fried salmon and asparagus, topped with snow crab, fried onions, truffle butter sauce, miso mayo, and sweet soy reduction.

Cocktails were just as impressive. The Yuzu Drop was refreshing and citrusy, and Pretty in Pink was light, fruity, and super Instagram-worthy.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and attentive service. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.

Walked in without a reservation and easily got a table on a Tuesday night, but it filled up fast. Phenomenal food and service! Started out with a few appetizers and the Brussels sprouts were the surprising favorite!

For rolls, we tried the Monster, Blackjack, and Shakura rolls – all delicious! Each of us had a different favorite, but the Shakura had such a good zing with the yuzu I think it was hard to beat. We did have some sashimi, but it didn’t stand out much against the rolls. The yellowtail carpaccio however did knock our socks off.

For dessert we tried the mochi platter (3 mochi flavors) and the yuzu cheesecake. I’d eat that yuzu cheesecake every day if available. So creamy and rich and delicious!

I feel like I should have expected yuzu flavors from the name, but I really was blown away how prevalent it was in a bunch of things. We love yuzu, so it was perfect!

Felt reasonably priced for what you got. Rolls were huge!

Everything we tried was amazing — fresh, high-quality, and full of flavor! “Are You Kidding Me” roll was our favorite, and “Snowflake” was perfectly traditional. Great service, kind staff, and a fancy yet comfy space (baby-friendly too!). One of the best sushi spots we’ve been to — we’ll be coming back for sure! ✨

Delicious sushi, very fresh. The sushi rice was cooked to perfection, each grain separate from the other, not sticky or stodgy. I appreciate that the rolls were elegantly decorated and simple. They weren’t drenched in sauce or cut into too large of pieces. The Yuzu sake was so refreshing. The chopsticks were high quality for disposable, no splinters and not slippery. The staff and sushi chefs were very efficient. A party of 7 of us dined on a summer Sunday night and we all left very happy. I will be back !

Was recommended the spot by a friend decided to go here for my birthday for a bunch of different Nigiri appetizers and rolls. Everything came out fresh flavorful and very tasty. The restaurant is large has tons of seating plus the bar staff was really friendly and nice. We order the white wine and Pink Lady for drinks.

I ordered the black snapper amberjack yellowtail, bluefin tuna Toro, which the Uni and quail egg yolk made it very tasty. We got the millionaire roll, which I really liked the sauces and dressing it came with. My wife got the world famous Crunchyroll The overall menu has a ton of selections, which is really nice in case you don’t want just nigiri or sashimi. They have hot food as well, which is where we tried the nigiri A5 Wagyu and ended up getting four of them super tasty and flavorful.

We had such a great experience at Yuzu Sushi! The service was outstanding—Ann P. was an incredible host who truly took care of us with kindness and attention. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better.

The sushi itself was absolutely top-notch—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. What I loved most is that it wasn’t greasy at all, just pure, clean taste that makes you want to keep eating more.

Highly recommend this spot to all sushi lovers—you’ll definitely leave satisfied!

The food is always amazing. Sushi chef Shane never disappoints. The presentation is a masterpiece of his art. I can’t say enough kind words about the staff including their manager Brandi, the hostess who greets you, to the servers who take care of you, are all wonderful.

I decided to go to Yuzu Japanese Sushi Bar for dinner and I had such a great experience! The drinks were absolutely amazing – balanced, creative, and so flavorful. You can really tell they put care into their cocktail menu. Inside, the vibe is super cute and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that’s perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxed date night. The staff is also very welcoming and friendly. The highlight, of course, was the sushi. Every piece was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. You can taste the quality in every bite. Definitely a spot I’ll be returning to soon!
