Sushi Yasuda was my favorite japanese restaurant in NYC not talking about MASA (click to read my post about my experience 2 years ago) wich is unbelievable and not on the same category or pricing.

I was surprised that Michelin guide didn't deserve any star to Sushi Yasuda....

But during my last trip to NYC 3 weeks ago I have to admitt that things changes, what happened to Sushi Yasuda? Fish quality is always good, rice cooking also but it's the balace portion between rice and fish that is disappointing.... for sushis, fish slices became very very thinny and rice balls very very big... at a point that you know that you are eating rice with fish but what fish is it???? big question????

the layout of the restaurant is modern, simple, very japanese, all made by light wood. a sushi bar where I personnally love to seat at specially if it's in front of chef Yasuda to see him making all your order and serving it to you directlly.

I had a little amuse bouche, good, really simple a wakame and cucumber salad with japanese vinagar dressing.

then I ordered some sushi, as usual, tuna, toro, and the salmon selection with the alaskan salmon, the white salmon....

but unfortunately this time was not excellent but just so so...

as you can see on the picture, Chef Yasuda seems to have some Ratio problems to make sushi with as thin slices of fish and rice balls as big ;-)

but I was so in love with this restaurant that I said maybe a bad day... give him another chance and I tried the spicy toro maki.... and? same bad comments on it...

and even with that I said try simple sashimis... that thanks god was not bad...

sashimi

at least there is one thing that I still like in sushi Yasuda restaurant : the finger cleaner, because you are supposed to eat sushis and makis with your finger to please the sushi chef.

I Paid around 120$ Sushi Yasuda is not as expensive as Masa but it's an expensive restaurant in NYC if you wanna have enough sushi and sashimi not to fell hungry anymore it will cost you at least 100 $ without drinks and tips.

do I recommand to go there? before this last bad experience, yes I was giving card of it to anyone going to NYC as if I was working for them..... but now I really don't know?!!!! I need to try it myself another time before having a real idea about it...
