In a twist of fate, the 20+ year old Garden restaurant was forced to close its doors after a fatal shooting incident last year. The management didn't give up and decided to completely renovate the location and turn it into a Japanese restaurant. This is the background of this review and this restaurant is Yutaka.
Yutaka in Japanese means plentiful or abundant.
I ordered the sashimi lunch from the sushi bar ($19) and I can feel the abundance in it. Not only in terms of quantity (about 16 pieces) but also in quality. It has fluke, seabeam, albacore, octopus, house mackerel, salmon, squid, and tuna. They are all top notch quality. I would highly recommend against dipping the fishes into soy sauce so that you can taste the sweetness within and the salty water the fishes once swam in. In this regard (price / quality ratio), Yutaka matches if not surpasses its predecessor.
Interior decor can be improved upon. It's a typical modern dark brown colour scheme. It's a bit lacking in colour considering the vibrant corner its in.
Service is good but I do see servers making small mistakes for other clients (like my plate was initially given to another table)
Overall a four star restaurant. I will bring my friends and colleagues over.
