Yuzu

the authenticity of the Japanese food is fantastic. This is not just a sushi restaurant, but the sushi is presented culturally correct, No oversized nigiri & the wasabi is placed appropriately between the fish & rice. The Oden is first I've found in a restaurant. A delicate limited special. The grilled Hamachi jaw was a tasty dish. You could have s diffent dish every time 6ou visit.

We are staying at the residence Inn just around the corner. Using Google and yelp I determined probable restaurants for our proposed a visit. The menu showed reasonable prices and interesting dining choices.I really wanted to try that yellowtail teriyaki.I enjoy Salmon teriyaki I’ve never had yellowtail teriyaki. We got to Yusuf early and we were the first people there. I was overwhelmed by all the wonderful very Japanese choices on the menu and tried several. My husband ordered his standard which is chicken teriyaki. We were both very happy with everything we ordered and the service was excellent. We will certainly return on our next visit to Bethesda.

Love the food but lots of room to improve the quality of service. I've been there several times on my trips to the NIH. What I find annoying is the wait time just to be acknowledged, even when the place is empty. During my last visit, I stood at the front desk for 10 minutes before someone spoke to me. That's unacceptable.

(Keep reading till the end!) I've always been a little hesitant to go here mainly because it doesn't seem to be very busy after I get off of work. And just as it seemed, there wasn't anyone when I arrived, and only one other person came in during the 45min-hour I was there. All that said, I haven't the slightest idea why this place isn't packed from the moment they open. The service was great; right in the happy medium of making sure you're taken care of and checking in too much to enjoy your food. And on the plus side, our server was perfectly happy to be called on rather than the typical "attempt to use your superior mind powers to catch their gaze and wave them down" we're used to. The food was wonderful, too! We had the hot pot w/ kimchi (under the first page "soup and sides") and the assorted sushi (first on the second page). These were perfectly sized to accommodate both my dinner mate and myself, and the total price came out to about $45. This, in my opinion, is a really good collective price for a nice dinner date. The sushi was the perfect temperature, not too warm but also not too cold, and served with wasabi and ginger as one would expect The hot pot was made with the kimchi mixed in, and it too was just cool enough you didn't scald your mouth trying to taste it, and the ingredients mixed in tasted great as well. All in all, the next time I think about getting Japanese food for a great price, I'm definitely heading back here.

This place is rare. Everything we ordered was delicious and authentic. The udon, pork, edamame, miso soup and the sushi/nigiri were all excellent. There was a smokey sweetness to everything. Really unique and delicate flavor. The decor is nice and I loved all the old time artifacts. For some reason the back of the restaurant felt dank but everywhere else looked clean.

Visiting DC on a frigid winter day, we found Yuzu just around the corner from our hotel. We ordered Nabe Hot Pot, a holiday sashimi special, both the Hot Pot (with kimchi) and the sashimi were excellent. The dashi in the hot pot was spicy and perfect for the cold weather. The fish in the sashimi was tasty and very fresh. We ordered an extra eel/avocado roll which was also very good especially since you could taste both the eel and avocado because it wasn't drenched in sauce. For dessert try the black sesame and yuzu ice cream - yummy!

I stopped in during happy hour for a light snack at the bar. I stopped in around 6:30 and ot was pretty slow but ot picked up after a while. Happy hour prices are reasonable for this area, bar and snacks $4.95 each. I had the California roll and it was really nice. Great service, friendly staff, no complaints I'll be back.on the area for business and I'll co.e back again.
