Amazing food and great service. Food was definitely 5 stars!
The flavours meshed so well, the rice was loose and perfect, the wasabi wasn't overpowering and even the ginger was pickled enough so that the spiciness of it was practically gone.
The food and service seem to be quite consistent after reading the different reviews. The service was great, very attentive. I never had to ask for more water as they would just automatically notice. Mind you, there were only 9 customers at the time and two waitresses.
The chefs serve each piece of sushi to each person individually and tells you what it is that you're eating. They also ask about any food allergies at the beginning. I didn't know that they served tea until we were almost done eating, so I had asked for water. You can also order other alcoholic drinks, such as beer, wine, and sake (for which they have pairings). Halfway through the meal, they mention that you're half-way done. I was so sad at this point because I didn't want it to end..ever!
At the end of the meal, they mention that if you're still hungry, you can order individual pieces. They didn't mention how much each piece would be, so it would've been useful to know. You're also served a small dessert, such as ginger ice cream or chocolate panna cotta.
I also wish they had explained more about the different types of fish that were served. At first, the waitress showed us a photo of the first fish we were having (striped jack), which I thought was very cool, so I was expecting that for all of the dishes, but that didn't end up happening. At least the chef told us the name of each fish as he served it though.
Further, if you come here, don't expect to be completely full. This restaurant is for the experience and the opportunity to taste a variety of fresh fish available around the world.
I was definitely in sushi heaven for the two hours at Yasu, and would love to come back on a special occasion!
