Super fresh quality sushi. Helps that it's popular. They have maintained standards for all the years they have been here. An absolute neighborhood gem. Treat the wait staff well. Reservations a must.

The sushi is always fresh, the service always friendly. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, but it's cozy and the sushi makes up for it.

It's still amazing after all these years! Use to visit often when I attended graduate school in NYC. Sushi is still flavorful, and they have plenty of other dishes on offer if you prefer something else. Great place!

A good friend from South Carolina recommended this restaurant. I must say this was some of the best sushi I have ever eaten. The owner of the restaurant is extremely nice and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Wu for telling us about this wonderful restaurant.

March 18 Monday lunch I was busy yesterday, so I ate everything in just an hour, from 1 pm to 2pm , and then quickly got up and left.Can I ask for two things?The middle-aged ladies who serve us , please little faster and kinder. I felt a little uncomfortable because she seemed so blunt.And I went with my mom, so was it necessary to assign a seat right in front of the restroom ? On a tiring day, I'm sensitive so if I crowd around Asians and make them sit in the corner, isn't this racism? I thought. I was like that yesterday.I made a reservation yesterday and went on time . Lunch with my mom. We ate well for an hour and left a 20% tip for lunch. I want to go to your restaurant again, so I'm leaving a review hoping it goes well.

The food is consistently excellent. The service is amazing considering how small the place is. The tables are close and we were next to rather loud talkers. Still the best in the neighborhood and was happy to get a reservation on the same day.

our favorite neighborhood sushi restaurant. We had family in from out of town - former NYer's and they're only request was great sushi for dinner. Yasaka did not disappoint!

Great value meal for their lunch special. $16 before tax for a 3 roll combo. The fish was fresh and they packed the sushi well.

Had a very enjoyable dinner here on a Monday night. We weren’t rushed at all and our waitress was really sweet. I loved the lotus flower salad and the steamed gyozas were really great - I would never have usually ordered these two dishes so I was pleasantly surprised. The sushi was fresh and the sashimi also had good flavor. Finally the vanilla mochi ice cream melted in my mouth! Such a treat and all for a very reasonable price when sharing dishes.
