I had Sushi Yasaka for the lunch special. Usually when we talk about lunch special you would think they're giving you lower quality scraps, however Sushi Yasaka does not compromise on quality. The lunch special came with a choice of soup or salad, 6 pieces of nigiri (which were all very good quality fish), and a roll of your choice (i had the unagi/eel). It was all very good and for the price I cant see any better sushi in the area.

Good fish and service. The quality of fish is very decent for the price. It’s a great place to drop in for some sushi cravings.
We liked their authentically Japanese menu and variety of appetizers that you often don’t see in non-Japanese run Japanese restaurants.
Not a fancy place but nice for a casual dinner out!

Great food. Good atmosphere. Service is ok (it would be great if they can improve their service to be more professional).
Went to this restaurant for lunch on a very hot summer Saturday. If you like Asian food, this is a recommended restaurant, because the food was authentic and delicious. I would come back again for the appetizers.
This is one of the best Asian food around this neighborhood.

Sushi Yasaka is the spot to go when you want really high quality sushi for a reasonable price. They provide such fresh sushi that is absolutely incredible.
We got a few rolls, but the real standout was their sweet potato tempura roll. The sweet potato is cooked beautifully and lightly batter and fried to allow for an excellent crunch in the roll.
I also really appreciate that they give you actually fresh ginger and wasabi, not the stuff you get from packets at most sushi restaurants.
The ambience is also great here - chill vibe to hang out and socialize without feeling overwhelmed. Lighting is good so it’s not too dark, and music is low, so you never feel like you’re having to talk loudly.

This is my favorite sushi spot. The fish is top quality and the prices are reasonable. My go-to is the sushi a la carte - the seared tuna and seared salmon are exceptional. It's always full inside, which speaks to how good this place is. Definitely make a reservation!

Very niche space with magnificent maki rolls. Even though we were walk ins we were seated immediately and served promptly. The staff were very kind and engaging. Our food came out correctly and almost immediately. The ambiance made for intimate conversation with the venue still respecting covid mandates it feel as though your in a booth with your significant other while being served lovely sushi ????. If your in the area definitely worth a pop in.

I love this place! The sushi is so fresh and always delicious. I’ve been here numerous times and I’ll definitely keep going. I wanted to give this place 5 stars, but I thought it was really odd to have iceberg lettuce in sushi. Something didn’t feel right about that ???? however, the service is always lovely and I think you should try this spot out if you haven’t!

We have ordered from Yasaka a few dozen times, it is our go to spot for good sushi on the UWS without breaking the budget. Reasonably priced, good quality, super quick delivery. The restaurant gets very packed during peak hours.

Outstanding fish and rice quality! Super fresh and delicious. We got two lunch specials and it was great. Not overpriced as well. They do have lunch specials on weekends as well. Worth going!

One of the highest value for price sushi places in New York. They are not doing full omakese at the moment, only the $30 mini, which came with 6 pieces and a hand roll. Fish is fresh and well seasoned, decent rice, and fresh wasabi.
