We have visited Sushi Yu II on many occasions, but Friday night's dinner was especially good. I normally order the sushi or sashimi, but with the spate of cold weather recently, i was in the mood for something warm and comforting. Their sukiyaki was the...best I've had outside of Japan -- full of tender beef, vegetables and cellophane noodles in a rich broth. My husband had his usual ton katsu (pork cutlet with rice and miso soup) and we shared an appetizer portion of the shumai (shrimp dumplings). The bill was extremely reasonable for the food and drinks (wine and hot sake) we consumed and the staff was very attentive. We'll definitely be back.More

I love the sushi it's a good local small place with nice staff good service or prices, it's a little bit far if you are a tourist but if you are staying close to Washington hights

Great sushi spot in the middle of restaurant row of 181 street. The next closest sushi is on 200 street so this is a great find before trekking up to the cloisters. Great lunch special till 330 even on saturdays. The rolls are generous and...can be easily shared. Try the bento box while there for lunch. Also does take out!!More

I haven't been here in a while but they serve average Japanese food and prices are reasonable, in keeping with the neighborhood. Wait staff seem in a rush to give one the bill and usher you on you way, however.

Sushi Yu II, like many of the restaurants in Washington Heights, is pretty small. However, you'll feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. The service is outstanding--they are hospitable and extremely attentive! The menu is extensive. I was impressed with both the amount of...sushi items and cooked items on the menu. The food quality is good, too, but it's not anything to write home about. However, for what you're paying, it's excellent. Great for a good Japanese culinary experience on a budget.More

The lunch special came with a salad, a miso soup, and a choice of california roll or shumai. I chose the latter. The miso soup was very delicious. The unagi was grilled to perfection. The lunch special was totally worth its value.

It's getting four stars because it's downtown quality in Washington Heights and that is something I can appreciate. My go to sushi spot in the heights.
