UPDATE VISIT #2 Wanted to try this place again. Came on a Friday, about 345pm. Got seated and our waitress stood there asking for our order about 3 minutes into being seated (with a fussy toddler). We said we needed a moment to continue looking but she stood there, so feeling rushed we ordered a bunch of appetizers. Our food came within 3 minutes of ordering. I dont know how long it takes to cook beef teriyaki, crab rangoons, chicken wings, steamed shumai, French fries, and spring rolls, and the maki roll took 5 minutes. The wings were HUGE. almost icky and off putting. the whole table had food and not enough room to use our plates, especially with a toddler. It came out so quick I almost did not want it eat it as I wondered how it all came out at once before we could even get comfortable. Shumai was fine, lacked seasoning. Spring rolls also fine but nothing to rave about. Fries are fries (for my toddler). The beef skewers were tasty. The wings were the size of a chicken itself and VERY salty. We did not eat them. They were not even clean (feathery). The rangoons were good but could have crab in them rather than just cream cheese, but were crispy and not overly or under done.

I would not return a 3rd time. The hostess (she had blonde hair) kept giving me looks while my son checked out the lobby area. Xmas eve dinner. sushi was not good. eel was chewy and tuna chunks unappealing inside the roll. Rice was amazing, as was fries shrimp and Rangoon but they were filled with just cream cheese. what's the point of crab rangoons if there's not crab? the rest of the pupu platter was nothing to rave about. wings terrible, chewy/rubbery and almost raw inside. only things I'd eat again is the rice and fried shrimp. I heard great thing about it but I'm left feeling like I won't try sushi again or anything else...

I live a few blocks away and went in for the first time. The service was awful! Maybe it’s the waitress and not a reflection on the other servers but she definitely ruined the experience for us and we ended up leaving earlier because of the service. To start off, I ordered a bento box and asked for the dumplings to be vegetable. I received pork dumpling in the Beto box with vegetarian dumplings as a side order. We were confused because we thought she might have given us someone else’s order. When we asked her, her whole demeanor changed and instead of just saying something like, “I thought you meant a side order”, she looked at us like we were a huge inconvenience and left. It wasn’t a big deal, we are not complainers at all so we told her it was okay and we will eat the side order. After this interaction, she never returned to ask us for more drinks, or if everything else was okay. We needed napkins and never got any. She ignored us the whole time and every time we asked her for anything else, before we finished our sentence, she would walk away without saying anything. It was so unprofessional, uncomfortable and annoying. I’m sticking to Yujos, it was a mistake coming here. I would have definitely stayed to have more drinks but we felt like an inconvenience. Food and drinks were good, but the service was not great. Will not...
