Listen here listen here , I can't believe I've been here so many times and never left a review!…read moreMitsuba is hands down my favorite poke spot in the Syracuse area. I always get the salad base and my mom usually goes with the noodles -- and let me tell you, they never miss. This time, I think our bowls got mixed up a little, and mine ended up with some ah tuna. I've always been hesitant to try it since I usually stick to cooked seafood, but it was actually so good! Flavorful, fresh, and the texture was way better than I expected -- honestly, similar to shrimp. If you like shrimp, you'd probably enjoy this too. For toppings, I went with shrimp, mango, crab meat, corn, chili flakes, and a few other things (I even snapped a pic of my order card because I can never remember everything!). The poke bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and customizable, and I love that you can watch them chop everything right in front of you. This visit I also tried the crab rangoons -- they were a little too crunchy for me, and my little one even said the same (and she usually loves rangoons). My mom tried the chicken wings, which were good, but I'll personally be sticking to the poke bowls because they are the star here. The restaurant is always clean, the staff is super friendly, and the quality is consistently top-notch. If you're looking for poke in Syracuse, this is the place. Five stars for the poke bowls, no question! They do sell all type of bubble drinks as well.

I have only been to the Buckley road location, so I can't speak for others. But almost every time I order online (20+ times), my order is missing something. Sometimes it's missing something small, but then there's times where there literally isn't any salad dressing. Or, sometimes it's even the items you pay extra for, like avocado or a hard boiled egg. Today I found myself with a Chicken Cobb minus the chicken. I would order from here more if my orders weren't wrong 80% of the time, but there aren't many local quick-stop salad bars around. All in all: go and place your order in person, because there is a high chance your online order will be wrong. Otherwise, great salads and bowls!

For Mother's Day my husband took me to Yamasho for some sushi. I was excited to try it as I've seen…read morereally good reviews on the sushi before and I was not disappointed! We ordered the fried oysters (kaki fry), white tuna roll and the sushi deluxe x2. The fried oysters tasted fresh and were nice and crispy. The oysters did not taste overly fishy either. It came with a Thai chili sauce that complimented the dish well. As for the sushi, the white tuna roll and the sushi deluxe was probably the freshest tuna and salmon I've had in Syracuse. The rice to fish ratio was perfect. The ginger was tasty. The miso soup was a little bland and the salad was standard for sushi restaurants. Overall, I had a really amazing time here. The service is absolutely impeccable and all of the waitresses were so attentive and kind. I will definitely come here again!

I ordered the Crab Rangoon roll which was still warm by the time it arrived. These rolls were fun and something a little different than what I would normally order at other places. I found they had some larger variety than other restaurants as well and options on the menu i've never seen offered elsewhere! Salmon is always my favorite so I had to add a simple salmon roll to my order as well. I love sushi, I think I could eat it everyday, but I have a pretty high standard and I would say this definitely meets my bar! I haven't been overly impressed with many other sushi spots in the area but I would definitely go here again!

Don't look at the place too closely inside, it's not the most appetizing place to eat in. Things were a bit hit or miss.

Miso soup, shrimp tempura, and Dynamite Roll were also good. So now we know what we like and don't like so next time we know what we'd be getting more of. It was fun to try somewhere new and now won't always wonder.

Unfortunately, I feel like the quality of ingredients has gone downhill in the past couple of years, and it doesn't taste as fresh or flavorful. This place was always on the pricier end for a quick bite for lunch, but I thought it was worth it for the quality of the ingredients. But with the quality and freshness going down, the prices aren't as worth it anymore. With that said, they still offer a wide selection of grain bowls, smoothie bowls, and drinks. Paired with the bright and modern interior in the heart of Syracuse it still makes a decent lunch spot.

We also ordered the shrimp tempura bento box which surprisingly came with a lot of tempura and was filling enough where we had to take some home.
