Very cool to see the Japanese restaurant revolution is still going strong. This, to my knowledge, is the first restaurant that specializes in kushi-age in Las Vegas.
Decor is very nice and food is very good. It's exactly how it is in Japan. The last time I ate kushi-age was when I was in Japan 10 years ago, and Yu Yu pretty much nails it.
The food comes out crispy and light, not greasy like many other fried foods. I sat at the bar and I could watch the chef cook the food. There are thermometers in the frying pots, so the oil temp is always on point.
I ordered 6 skewers of various items and all were very good. Also ordered the tenzaru-udon and was good.
Yu Yu does not have their liquor license yet but they are expecting it soon. Beer is absolutely necessary with kushi-age, so I will be back in a month. Yu Yu will be a definite late night stop.
