Guide Review - Sushi Yasuda
The fish is first-rate and from four types of yellowtail to blowfish, there are few other places in the city where you can find the sheer variety of fish that Sushi Yasuda offers. Service is very attentive, pleasant and helpful. The aka miso($5.50), a red miso soup served with naneko mushrooms or asari clams, was outstanding and the whole clams were fresh and delicious. The sushi list highlights chef recommendations, so even if you don't sit at a table, you can benefit from Yasuda's suggestions. We stuck to the recommended fish selections and enjoyed white salmon sashimi($4), sea-bass($3), scallop($4), warasa(wild yellowtail)($3.75), toro($8.50) and white salmon($7) maki. Each piece was more delicious than the last.
