The place is a fest. The chef walks around and gives advice and takes orders in a friendly way. The combinations of sushi, sashimi and all are outstanding, a cocktail to the eye. A fiest. And yet, affordable.Always always full and no booking. But you can book your place in the line!

I've eaten at more traditional sushi bars in Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan. This experience was a bit more modern. The food was top-notch in terms of freshness. I did think the chef-chosen fish was a good variety, but also thought the number of servings for the price was a little slim. You will surely enjoy the experience. but as with most high-end sushi in Japan, you have to come with a sense of adventure. You will be served items you would never see in your home country.

All in all - excellent sushi at a "reasonable" price. The Ginza restaurant is the flagship of the group. It's not a small intimate restaurant - there are multiple levels with an elevator between floors. One of the largest sushi restaurants I've tried in Tokyo. Still, reservations are a very good idea in the evening or weekends. It gets busy.We had the omakasa at one of the longer bars (they can be subdivided with moving screens for more privacy or a private room can be arranged). Dinner for 4 with sake and beer was about USD $700 (not cheap, but you can get damaged for much more at other high end locals). The chef was great - he spoke enough English for us to understand everything and interact. At some of the smaller sushi establishments you have to go with Japanese speaking friends to converse and even get in the door.We had an array of excellent sushi including: Toro, Blue Fin, Uni (sweet and tasty), live shrimp, scallops, eel, mackerel, crab, eel spine and a variety of rolls. Enough to satisfy our hunger and not so much as to stuff us. The price for omakase was very reasonable compared to some of the other chains; especially considering the quality.Dinner probably took an hour and 15 minutes, however, they said the space was ours to relax and talk if we liked for 2 hours. Much more relaxing than some of the in and out shops.The ambiance was modern and zen, wood panels and intricate ceilings that slide all over the place to subdivide rooms. Service was excellent from hostess, chef and assistants. Really a great place to go for first time sushi lovers in Tokyo.I would also recommend getting a native Japanese friend to take you to some of the smaller 6 - 10 seat shops; its and entirely different experience. I've had incredible sushi at tiny /hole in the wall restaurants.

One thing for sure these sushi are BIG.They put LOTS of rice. Unfriendly staff and certainly not worth any wait. Do not repeat my mistake: do your own research and follow your instincts: don't blindly follow advice of american tourists for whom bigger is better. Bottom line: sloppy made sushi, bad service, boring location and dull experience.

This sushi restaurant is in the heart of the Akasuka-Mitsuke district in Tokyo. The location is a few tens of metres South of Akasaka-Mitsuke JR Subway Station (on the Ginza & Marunouchi Lines) and the place is very good indeed. High-quality, super-fresh Bluefin Tuna is prepared as if by magic, right in front of you, by skilled chefs. The result is both delicious and filling. The chefs are friendly and confidently shout greetings to all diners who enter. Booking is recommended and I strongly suggest asking for a place at the serving bar right in front of the kitchen, where you give your order directly to the chef's.

Yasuda is a creative master who is constantly experimenting with flavors and textures..it has been our pleasure to sit at the bar 3 times over the last couple of years...Yasuda has his own style, his own theories of sushi..for us, the best meals of our lives have been at Sushi Bar Yasuda...great conversation as well. Relaxed pace 2-2.5 hours I donât have the superlatives to match the experience.You must plan ahead! This is a small, intimate space. Iâd recommend book 6-8 weeks in advance and to be flexible regarding time and day

Came here with my family. They have a set menu that only includes beef teppanyaki. Since we donât eat beef we had to order ala carte was very good. We had the nigiri, chicken teriyaki, two fish dishes and the udon. Each were delicious. However... they forgot to bring my rice, soup and pickles, never poured our sake - I had to ask for them to pour my husband (Iâm not precious - the way we were sitting across the hot table made it difficult short of standing up and bringing him the carafe), only refilled our water glasses once, spilled on me and just generally forgot about us until I asked for the check. You canât charge that price point for food and totally forget about your customers. Thank you for you dine with us.Unfortunately, you were not comfortable our service that so apologized.They do not on purpose about that, however made your feel unhappy.We will train hard to good quality service.Thank you for your honesty comments.

From the presentation of the dishes, to the explanation of where the food originated from, this was an incredible experience from start to finish. Yuuki is very welcoming and he takes immense pride in his preparation. Each dish is completely different and very flavorful. I would highly recommend the sake pairing as well. I canât wait to go back the next time Iâm in Tokyo.
