What is the big hang-up of Bay Area Japanese restaurants to wine corkage? I find that they are the most unwelcoming to customers who bring a bottle of wine. I find myself almost always arguing and...

Yuzu is a "very Japanese" Japanese restaurant - The food is like what you find in a Japanese city these days. Also, Yuzu is small to the point that it can feel a bit cramped at the sushi bar or at...

Wow, this place totally threw me off guard... as it really doesn't appear to be a sushi restaurant, at least one that I am used to. Very small sushi bar. Mostly sashimi/nigiri... appears that you...

The sister restaurant to Sakae Sushi in Burlingame. The selection of fish/seafood isn't as exotic as Sakae, but it's just as fresh as they are sourced from the same distributor. Sake selection is also...

The BEST sushi I've ever had. My boyfriend Steve, half-brother Keith and dad also agree. The place is small, so you need to get there early. But it is sooooo worth a 45 minute wait, if that's what...

I had to try the ocean trout once I heard it was very similar to sake in color and texture. And indeed, the bright orange color of the flesh reminded me of salmon - well worth a taste. The yuzu tobiko...

Come here with a full wallet, and you won't be disappointed. This place seems to cater to the wealthy Japanese businessman. There's a wide variety of really fancy sake, and the sushi cannot be beat. Sit at the...

Cozy sushi place surrounded by random dated stores like old parlors on the same street. I was impressed with the fish here. Good quality sashimi and nigiri and very generous portions!

A modest exterior and quiet street are misleading factors for those checking out Yuzu. Owned by the same as famed Sakae in Burlingame, Yuzu has the same strengths without the hard-core sake afficionados. They...

Yuzu is good. Sister restaurant of Sakae in Burlingame, the fish is always fresh - which is worth paying a little extra for.

Yuzu is quite good in my opinion, but I think you've got to sit at the counter and talk to Arima-san; then, you'll get more special dishes and not the stuff that he thinks typical customers want.

Really? I think Yuzu is really quite good. I highly recommend sitting at the counter and having a conversation with Chef Arima. He will go the extra mile to find what you like and make it better....
