I'm still as in love with Sushi Yasuda as the day I first tasted their sushi. I'm still getting new pieces on each visit and it's exhilarating to know such a place exists. On our 8th visit, we had tamago, the omelet, so this time, we tried the Custard, which Chef Tomura described as having shrimp and potato. The texture is still smooth like Tamago, so you will not find pieces of shrimp and potato but you will taste it, in the very tender custard.If you like Fatty Tuna, you must try the Cheek of the Fatty Tuna, it's even fattier! You can see the marbling and it just melts away in your mouth.
On my 3rd visit, I had the Uni from California. This time, I tried the Uni from Alaska. Chef Tomura told me that it is the same species but I guess the environment makes a big difference. The Alaskan Uni is not at all briny, still creamy, but very gamey, in a fishy way. I prefer the California Uni because it was sweeter and I like some brininess.
Lon wanted to have the soft shell crab again and it was a lot smaller (like half the size) than when we had it on our third visit, but it is coming up on the end of the season. That's why you have to listen to the chefs and let them recommend what to eat.

My husband and I had our version of your Sushi Yasuda when he lived in Boston. We went to this place called Fugakyu (in Brookline, Mass)at least once or twice a week. Now that we are in NY, we haven't found another sushi place that we like as much. Morimoto NYC and Blue Ribbon Sushi in Brooklyn comes close. Now I can't wait to try Sushi Yasuda! |

Ellen, I've been meaning to try Blue Ribbon Sushi but we're not fans of Morimoto, although, we didn't eat sushi there. We were really upset by the whole experience!! Please let us knos what you think of Sushi Yasuda. |

Anonymous, sorry you did not enjoy your experience. I am quite surprised since I've never had a bad experience in my 9 visits and I can think of at least 15 people off the top of my head that have gone on my recommendation and have made it their new favorite place. |
