| - 4.5 stars, but I will round up to 5 stars due to the service and atmosphere.
Yuzu is located in a very unassuming little strip mall, and the exterior looks quite plain. However, step inside and you are whisked away to another world, as if you were in an eatery in Japan. The waitresses are all Japanese, with accents to boot! And the quality and care put into the food/service are truly commendable.
The menu is moderate in size but includes a lot of specialties, with virtually no Americanized sushi dishes. Prices are on the higher side, but comparable to a typical Japanese restaurant. The kaiseki set looked extremely appetizing but must be reserved in advance, and is expensive enough that I would reserve for a special occasion.
During this visit, I shared a bunch of lovely dishes with my friend. We shared a hotpot which was heated/cooked at our table, and also enjoyed some fresh tofu (reminded me of Chinese soy pudding/??). We each ordered broiled fish, and I opted for the yellowtail collar, with sides of rice, miso soup, and salad (add a few more dollars to make it a combo). All of the food was exquisite; see my photos for more details.
I highly recommend checking out this hidden gem! You won't be disappointed, but be forewarned, there aren't too many tables/seats if you have a large party.
