Yanagi Sushi & Grill — Restaurant in Paso Robles

Went to the restaurant with my family for my bbirthday on June 15. We sat at the grill. I got the shrimp and steak. The usual artistry grill cook was low energy and didn't listen to how I would like my steak and shrimp. I asked for my steak medium rare, he made it well done. I asked for my shrimp to be cooked more and he refused to cooked it more saying it was cooked well. Our friend rice has sesame seed in it and no vegetables, just egg and under cooked brown rice-very odd. Our whole party was suppose to get soup with our meals, and we didn't get it after our meal when we asked for it. I complained and they could care less. They didn't try to fix the issues at all. I let things go because it was my birthday and I didn't want to make a scene. What a poor time we had. I have been going to this restaurant for 10 years. I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK, the employees were that rude and careless. Thankfully, there are plenty of other good restaurants...

If I was pressed to issue one criticism I guess I'd have to admit their birthday ritual is a bit over the top. And when I say over the top I mean 20-30 decibles over the top. That being said, I've been here often enough to appreciate the intent and the demonstrated enthusiasm of the staff so I'll allow it. I can't recommend this place enough. You'll probably...

The Sushi was absolutely amazing, but I’ll come back to that. The staff was friendly. They have a great selection for anyone that loves Japanese cuisine. The Sushi is pricey but similar to upscale sushi restaurants. There was nothing fast about this visit. It was around 15 mins before our drink order was taken. We were getting frustrated waiting over an hour for our food because we were so hungry. However!!! Once the food arrived we forgot about everything else. The Sushi rolls that we ordered were incredible. One of the ones I ordered was Tuna Temptation, worth every single penny. I would definitely eat there again but my mentality going into it that time would be prepared for a long wait. They do have outdoor...
