If you like Japango, you'll LOVE Yuzu.
It's like the trendier, big sister of Japango.
Exposed brick, lofty space... You feel like you're dining on King Street and the sushi is actually good.
Service was excellent and a lot of the waitstaff are actually Japanese.
They fly their fish in from Japan and Europe, and have fish specials each week.
We had the agedashi tofu warm appetizer, the tofu was fried and smothered in a salty and sweet broth.
The oyster shooters were pieces of art at $7 bucks a pop.
Raw oyster and quail egg that comes in a decorative shot glass. You take the shot in your mouth and slowly chew to get the mix of flavors.
Definitely a stand out item on the menu.
Kaisendon YUZU style was delicious. Rice, sashimi, and hot sauce. It reminded me of bibimbap... but with chunks of raw fish and not served in a hot stone bowl.
All the sushi was super fresh and perfect. Some pieces were topped with deep fried lotus or garlic, each piece was delightful.
The special was the seabream which had an interesting smokey flavour.
My meal was excellent and this place is one of my new favorite spots.
If you eat there once a week, you may even get your own special chopsticks stored behind the bar.
I was debating whether I had a 4 or 5 star experience.
But, I'm hooked.
5 stars.
