Sushi Yasuda usually has five or more variants of tuna available.[10][11] Food is served omakase style.[12]
In 2011, food critic Eric Asimov of The New York Times took the restaurant to task for serving bluefin tuna, which he reported was severely overfished and in dire straits, with its Atlantic population estimated to be down almost 90 percent since the 1970s.[13]
Decor[edit source]
The stark, minimalist restaurant is lined in simple blond-wood, with high ceilings.[11][14][15][16][17] Sushi Yasuda uses bamboo on its floor, walls, and ceiling.[11][18]
Reviews[edit source]
In 2000, restaurant critic William Grimes of The New York Times gave Sushi Yasuda three stars, and in 2001 he called it “sublime.”[19][20] In 2011, Eric Asimov of The New York Times gave it three stars, and Bloomberg gave it two and a half stars.[4][21]
In 2013, Zagat’s gave it a food rating of 28, the second-highest in the East 40s, and rated it the 9th-best restaurant in New York City.
