AWESOME find. I was on the food channel network or something like that and the topic of the show was kushi age restaurants in Cali. Decided to see if Vegas had one and Yu Yu popped up. So my bf and I decided to come here for valentines day.
We were worried it be crazy packed but it wasn't. It was nice and quiet w a few people. Eventually it got busy but still a very relaxing environment.
Place is quite small but it was cozy. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Explaining to us how things worked, what was inside a certain item we were curious about.
We ordered:
- tonjiru
- salmon & avocado salad
- mini sashimi bowl
- prime short rib steak
- kushi age:
- bacon wrapped mozzarella
- bacon wrapped green bean
- brie cheese
- asparagus
- chicken meatball
- quail egg
- bacon wrapped mushroom
- wild yam potato
- chicken breast w mozzarella
- ginko nuts
- octopus
- seabass (was okay with it)
- silver fish (very fishy, didn't taste as good)
We liked 99.9% of everything we ordered except the last 2 items listed. I'm a cheese lover so man oh man, brie cheese and mozzarella was awesome!
Definitely planning to come back here again to try other items.
