I've been here twice now and each experience was delightful. Yamazaru is tucked away behind an apartment community. The ambience is nice and cozy. Gus was the bartender on both nights that I visited. He's friendly and helped with recommendations on food and specialty cocktails. He's an awesome bartender. They also make their syrups in house. The sushi is good and fresh! I also had their crab cake puppy or shall I say puppies because you get three. They were amazing!! The beef tataki is also good. I'm not usually a fan of rare meat, but this dish was very flavorful didn't even bother me that the meat was lightly seared. Great place for after work cocktails and sushi or a date night.
