| - I wasn't really sure what to expect from Yagyu. Walking in, the place was almost completely deserted on a Saturday night. It left me scratching my head whether I should eat here or not. I didn't really want to wait for a table upstairs at Ichiza, so hunger took over my conscience and made me sit in Yagyu.
What caught my eye on the menu were the three types of combinations for 2. Prices ranged from $27 to $60. We decided to go with the cheapest combo, since even that seemed more than enough to fill us up. Kimchi came out, along with miso soup, seaweed salad, and edamame. Shortly after, a basic salad came out with a very light and satisfying dressing. Next, came a full plate of some fried items (pork cutlets, chicken pieces, gyoza) and about 8 pieces of sushi. We ordered two sides of Portuguese sausage as well, at $2.50 a pop. It was pretty tasty. Lastly, the meats came out while we were modestly gorging at all the dishes presented to us. The meat showed some quality, which also proved itself in taste.
Everything came out promptly. Food was pretty good too. Nothing really blew my mind; but then again, there was nothing to complain about. Prices seemed very reasonable too, considering all the food we got. Almost $16 a person for this wide array of food + dessert. I could see myself coming back again.
