Yuba Restaurant

Japanese restaurant prices, nice service, but you're left to pour your own sake with only ok sushi. The sweet corn tempura was served without pozu and was missing the smoked salt :( The corn didn't taste fresh, and was bland and on the soggy side. Apparently it's a favorite. The ankemo that the server proclaimed to be super fresh was stiff, and not rich or creamy even though it was dressed nice. Presentation was plain and simple, but I don't need my food to be pretty. It was fresh but missing the Hallmark of ankemo from Japan. I understand most restaurants won't print daily menus, but at 7pm while it wasn't busy most of the items were not available, and I don't believe it was because they were eaten so quickly since opening, but just an outdated menu. It made me glad I didn't do omakase even tho it was a great price, because all the interesting items were out of season. At least update menu 3 times a year please. The 7 pieces of sushi they could accommodate from my selection we're not fully dressed. The soy sauce was stale. The sushi was ginza style, and it was a 50/50 shot of getting good quality flavorful fish vs fish that had been waiting for someone to order. None of it was fishy, just lacking flavor so several steps above a supermarket. I have to admit I loved the space, but it had an American cozy flare and not a Japanese flare. The staff were super nice and attentive. I sat next to a couple that ordered the truffle risotto and it smelled amazing and the dish eas empty on return. I have to confess, cooked items may be the way to go. Their rolls were beautiful and popular. So at the end, I still am loving the service. The menu was old and some prices were incorrect. I asked for adjustment and they accommodated. A free dassai sake was delivered as an apology.

We got the edamame and rock shrimp for the appetizer. For sushi we got 2 classic rolls including spicy blue fin tuna, crispy white fish roll and Yuzu signature roll. All delicious and filling. The service here is spectacular where the server asked us how hungry we were and recommend the right amount of rolls to share. I enjoyed the setting for it was simple. They had a wet hot towel to start. The appetizers and rolls came out quickly and eaten even quicker. I thought the prices were fair for what you're getting with service, location and quality of fish. We will definitely return.

We came here mid afternoon on a Saturday so it wasn't too crowded. Service was super quick, and food was fresh. We got a bunch of classic rolls, can't speak too much to their pricier rolls as we were only here for a quick snack. But definitely worth coming here again as their sushi is pretty yummy. They have a single unisex bathroom that is fairly clean.

Staff here is helpful and kind, prompt with food and requests. This low-key, quiet atmosphere with classic sushi options is perfect for an intimate date or a dinner with some close friends. Spied a mother and toddler enjoying and early dinner here, so this place can also be good for a small family dinner, too. Enjoyed the softshell crab very much.

Very fresh sushi. I’ve been here more than a few times and it has been consistent with the food and service. I got the two rolls that comes with the soup or salad for 10 dollars. Definitely one of my favorite go to sushi spots in the area that I work because of the quality. I definitely recommend this place
