| - Came here on a Sunday night after looking up restaurants of Japanese cuisine. After reading reviews that it was under the same owner of Japango, we decided to give it a try. We arrived around 630pm and there was only one other table seated at the time. We were promptly seated and were given our menus and the specials were explained quite thoroughly.
We decided to order a dish of Sakura Ebi Tempura (which we were told is not always on the menu), a Yuku Roll, the Sashimi Deluxe, and Matcha Creme Brulee for dessert. Our total came up to around 79$.
The Sakura Ebi Tempura was unlike anything I've ever tasted. Our server explained that it was made up of sakura shrimp and fried with tempura. The texture was soft and the tempura was fried to perfection. We were savouring each one and didn't want to finish it!
The Yuku Roll is a torched roll that came with avocado, shrimp, cucumber, and salmon. When it first arrived at our table, the flames were still coming out from between the plates which was a nice presentation. Once it was put out, we dug in and found the rolls to be huge! Each sushi was packed and the perfect amount of sauce was put on top. It wasn't overly torched either.
The Sashimi Deluxe came with 18 pieces of sashimi. Since I'm writing this review a week late, you'll have to resort to my pictures for the platter make up. This platter was definitely worth the price you pay. Each piece was thick and fresh; I can honestly say that it was one of the best sashimi platters I have ever had (And I usually get sashimi at every Japanese restaurant I go to). Very impressed!
Lastly, for dessert, we had the Matcha Creme Brulee. If you're a fan of matcha, I would highly recommend this dessert as it was not overly sweet and you could taste the matcha come right through. It was a good end to a wonderful dinner.
The ambience of Yuzu No Hana is quaint and cozy. It got busier near the end of our dinner, but still wasn't loud to the point you couldn't hear your party. The lighting is dim and it makes for a wonderful place to go with your loved ones.
Overall, I was pleased with my experience at Yuzu No Hana and would definitely come back again!
