I recently dined at YTSB Japanese Restaurant and, unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. The service was exceptionally poor and frustratingly slow. Despite arriving during a relatively quiet time (I could see only one table at the counter for omakase), we had to wait an astonishing 40 minutes for just 4 dishes. We ordered a roll, one plate of sashimi, eel sushi, and tuna sushi. After waiting 40 minutes, we were finally served the roll. The sashimi and eel sushi followed shortly after.

Read moreDining at YTSB is a quiet indulgence I return to month after month. Despite frequent travels to Japan, no homecoming feels complete without a visit here. The quality rivals the finest counters in Tokyo—refined, fresh, and utterly satisfying.

Read moreHad an amazing dinner experience at the ytsb. Had the takowasabi, salmon and yellowtail sashimi, unagi don, grilled hamachi kama(jawbone) and yuzu tiramisu dessert. Ingredients were exceptionally fresh and well prepared and the staff were attentive to our needs and accommodating to our young kid.
Presentation of food was top notch with really exquisite plates and we were even given a choice of our preferred chopsticks from a box of artisanal handmade chopsticks. Definitely something we don't see at many...
