Yamasho is one of the first new places I tried after moving back to Syracuse, and it's been the sushi place next door ever since. It's one of my favorite things, but casual sushi is far out of my price range for day to day eating.
On my birthday last year I ordered the Sushi for 2 for take out and ate it myself. (My girlfriend was home, but wasn't feeling it. Or maybe she just wanted to see if I was serious about eating $52.00 worth of sushi by myself.) I'm nowhere near as well travelled as I wish I was when it comes to sushi, but outside of the excitement of being off work with no holds barred, I ranked the quality good, not great. The other places I've been before and after seem to taste fresher.
Unrelated, I'm going to impart this wisdom for anyone who needs it (like I did, apparently). When you wake up in the morning hung over and ready to die, leftover sushi is not what you're looking for.
I've managed to talk myself into trying some of the better looking rolls and items. I don't know enough to know what I'm going to get by the name, or even really by reading the ingredients, but I've had a great time shooting for spicy and crunchy. I've scoured my photos and I'm missing a ton from this place, which feels like a tragedy. Somewhere out there I have some great pictures of sushi rolls that each represent the transformation of a boring or wasted day into something worth remembering.
We ordered some Bento Box dinner meals a while ago. We had an Uber offer to use and it turned into a full priced order from here instead. (Yeah, heads up. They use their own delivery staff, so while you can still order delivery, you won't qualify for Uber Eats delivery offers here.)
Everything but the special sushi rolls has been a solid 4/5. The meat is pretty tough, and not a ton of food for a $25.00 meal. Loved the dumplings and gyoza.
When going through the menu to verify a few things, I saw they added General Tso's, Orange Chicken and Red Curry. I almost put this review back into the queue, but I've been sitting on this place for too long and I'm already starting to lose photos. I will be back to see how my favorite wok items hold up against the average places I tend to get them from. Before seeing that, I wasn't really planning on going back when there are still so many other places to try.
