Upscale Japanese eatery offering omakase, hand rolls, nigiri
"Philly was missing a handroll spot. And Kensington was missing a good place to eat miso cod. Now, the city and neighborhood have both. Yuhiro looks like any other minimalist sushi place with a few wooden bar areas, but it stands out for its cone-shaped and U-shaped handrolls made with quality fish. On one side of the room, there's a counter dedicated to a $68 sushi omakase that mixes handrolls and nigiri. But if you want to focus on handrolls, sit in the separate area where you can eat a marathon of a la carte raw fish wrapped in seaweed like precious babies." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Some sushi omakase spots require a down payment of your right arm and the family jewels, and others, like Yuhiro, do your bank account a $68 favor. The Kensington sushi restaurant has a counter dedicated to a straightforward nigiri tasting menu that includes simple standouts like Japanese scallop with egg yolk flakes and king salmon with melty foie gras. The bonus here is that the menu never changes, so if you fall in love with anything, you can come back after the next solar eclipse and have the same dish and marathon of quality fish." - candis mclean

"You can sit down for an affordable omakase at Yuhiro, but the better option is their u-maki handroll, where you can order a la carte. Sushi chefs put them together in front of you, and the u-maki, a sort of taco-shaped hand roll, are generously sized and full of high-quality tuna, salmon, and yellowtail." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
