If you go, you must sit at the sushi bar at Yasuda San's station. To do this, you must call several weeks in advance and specifically state that you want to be seated at his station. Then, the day before the reservation you have to call back and confirm the reservation or they will "forget." A bit of a pain... more

this was not a good experience. We had hoped for the best sushi in NY - but it was clearly not. Nice and pleasant service - but their sushi is nothing out of the ordinary more
