"A favorite among the Upper West Side’s weeknight sushi enthusiasts, Yasaka often has a wait—so make a reservation in advance. The casual atmosphere works for a date or small group, and they have a long-enough menu of non-fish items in case you're with someone who just needs something fried or grilled beef. Expect a variety of quality fish, and sets that start at a very reasonable $29." - bryan kim, neha talreja, carlo mantuano, sonal shah

"For special occasions we alternate between Sushi Yasaka, Jing Fong, and Carmines, and Sushi Yasaka is one of those go-to spots." - Eater Staff
"On the Upper West Side, I note Sushi Yasaka is a popular, lower-cost omakase spot located on West 72nd Street across from Sushi Kaito." - Tanay Warerkar
"You already spent a fair amount of money on the concert tickets and a car to the UWS, so you probably don’t want to spend a ton on dinner too. But still, you want something good. Sushi Yasaka serves high-quality, affordable sushi in a casual atmosphere that works for a date or small group. Plus, there’s a low likelihood you’ll eat enough sushi to get sleepy, so you won’t need to drink a bunch of Red Bull-vodkas at the venue. Unless you just like Red Bull vodkas. We support you." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Matt Tervooren
