My wife and I had a great time at this restaurant - thought the food was delicious and the service was quite nice (she gave us tips on the best way to order to make sure we hit our timeline. I see some people mention that service is curt, imo there is a language barrier for some that may account for some of this). It's not an overly large space - it may be a bit loud at times and I wouldn't call it romantic, but it was fun and I could hear fine. Let's get to the food! The fish was fresh, cool and delicious. We started with the spicy tuna on crispy rice and it did not disappoint. The rice was a little crispier than I prefer but the tuna was excellent and it was topped with two slivers of jalapeño for the perfect amount of heat. We also had a the crispy green salad which is a basic salad that was delicious- loved the dressing. We had the Alaskan roll which was stellar, the spicy tina roll as well as the Hot Night roll ( we were in the mood for tuna). Can't say enough about how delicious the food was. It didn't take too long, but I did not feel rushed. Definitely worth a shot when I'm Chamblee! read more

I was so excited to try this place being that I just moved next door. My overall issue was the customer service. I felt like I didn't belong. Every interaction I had with a server was very short. I felt like I was a nuisance. At first I thought maybe I was being a little sensitive but after observing customers who clearly frequent there get huge smiles and warm greetings I realized a pattern. I watched my food sit for a while until it was brought out after tables around me got theirs. Maybe it was an off day but definitely not a good impression. The interior is nothing special still quaint little place for sushi. I didn't order much but what I ordered was good. The only thing is the sauce that comes with the gyoza was salty. The M-80 roll I believe was fantastic. I would go back just for that! read more

I have never reviewed anything in my life before but this place was too good not to share!!! Great service, food, and ambiance! The owner was super sweet and my friend and I had a great conversation with her! My friend used to be a regular but life and school gets in the way and the owner immediately recognized her which I thought was so sweet. I got the Spicy Tuna with Rice Biscuit and the Green Special Tuna roll. It's so so good and I'm still thinking about it!! Even everything down to the miso soup and the salad and dressing. 10/10 super clean too!! read more

Yuzu Sushi was okay. It didn't give me the wowing impression I was seeking. Plus with the high prices, I think this place is overrated. There was a good amount of folks coming and going within a couple of hours of them opening. But I think this place is more of a quick sushi sit down spot with high prices. The interior begs to differ, but that's my experience. Hey, not all reviews/experiences are winners. The positive thing I will say is that some of their menu items were quite unique. The B.S.C. (baked scallop over a California roll) was super delicious! The sashimi salad on the other hand was so so. The B.S.C. was unique in that the baby scallops were warm and creamy. The sauce really made a difference as it sat upon a California roll. I guess the creaminess of the scallops really amped up the basic California. This ended up being a hit with me. Though the sashimi salad was interesting. It somehow was just meh to me. There was about 6 (?) sashimi pieces. The garlic ponzu sauce was light, but it was also over a light bed of salad. I guess I somehow expected something else, something more grandeur. This pick just didn't provide the oohs and ahhs. I kind of had high hopes for the 911 roll. It sort of looked and tasted bland imo. Though the 911 sauce was different, the albacore, tuna, crab, salmon, and avocado were so so. If you think about it, these miniature pieces of fish were plain. I guess it falls in line with the "fresh" category but not so much "Yuzu Sushi Special Rolls." How special was it really?! I think the other roll we tried was the double tuna roll. This roll had a lot of frills, and there were lots of textures and flavors to be had. The red onion slices really stuck out in my mind as I'm trying to recall which roll we had. This roll was overall pretty good. I guess the spicy tuna and seared tuna made it more hearty. I get that sushi has their different types: fresh sashimi, plain jane rolls, and unique creations. But for 3 "special" rolls and a sashimi salad, the grand total with tip was around $70. The hubs and I left feeling kind of hungry and not really impressed (flavor/taste). Though it was still early dinner on a Friday, everyone seemed super rushed (like they will run you over if you don't move over fast enough). Maybe that has an affect on the fish's flavoring? Lol. read more

This is not the freshest sushi I've had, but the service is friendly and the food is good. The salad and soup came with my meal. The meal was filling and def satisfied a sushi craving.

Cheers to trying new food spots. I was in the area and thanks to my Yelp friends, I found this sushi spot and placed a Togo order. My order was ready fairly quickly. They quoted me around 10 minutes and it was ready upon arrival. The sushi was nice, fresh, and really enjoyable. I will eat here but as a dine in next time to enjoy the experience. read more

We had an extremely pleasant dinner at Yuzu Sushi. Food was great: we tried Halibut Sashimi and couple fresh fish specialty rolls (Alaskan rolls and Green Spicy Tuna rolls), all were tasty. Good wine list (which is not traditional for Japanese restaurants) for those who like dinner with the drinks. Atmosphere was nice, spacy place with pretty interiors and quite piano background music. The service was impeccable, staff was helpful, attentive, and we felt really taken care of. We love this place and plan to come back. Irina read more

Service was good food was delicious not chaotic like another nearby competitor, fresh and customizable rolls for those who need special diets read more

Bottom Line: I would recommend this restaurant. Fish quality is good, prices aren't bad. Great flavor. I would come back. Atmosphere: Mid-light ambience. Classic piano music overhead. Very spacious and comfortable. Food: The Miso Soup is a staple at any sushi restaurant and is a big factor in my reviews. While the seaweed tasted very fresh, the tofu was a bit too firm for what I'm used to and the taste of the soup had this elevated level of sweetness that I wasn't entirely fond of. My Salmon Lemon Roll was great. The salmon tasted very fresh and was very tender. The shrimp tempura was cooked perfectly and the Lemon special Mayo that it was topped with complimented it very well. Only thing I didn't like was that there was a bit of lemon pulp on one of the pieces that made my face pinch. Overall, would recommend. My companion got the Dragon Roll. Great balance of ingredients. Service: We came an hour before closing. Our hostess seated us with a smile. Our waitress immediately brought us water and visited us at the perfect frequency to meet our needs without intruding on our experience. The food came out very quickly and she came with the bill while I only thought of it and not asked for it. Great service. Overall: Certain items can use some improvements but I see great performance, quality, and potential for this restaurant. I will definitely be back read more

Freshest sushi in atl. But their sauce choices are questionable this one soy ish sauce the 911 sauce is super salty. And they use sesame sauce instead of spicy mayo which is good but I personally got tired of it after a while. Still quality of fish is top tier. Dishes were good but some were just salty because of the sauce choice. Service was solid. I went during the day so the ambiance was good ig. read more

This place was just okay to me. The seaweed salad wasn't super fresh and when I tried one of friends roll (can't remember what they ordered), it had a fishy taste to it which implies it also wasn't that fresh. The crunch rainbow roll was pretty good, but tasted like cheddar popcorn lol. So if you like that flavor, you'll like the roll. My tuna tempura w/ Yuzu sauce was fine as well but anything exciting making me want to return tomorrow. This place is conveniently located and has free open parking. read more

Excellent food and service. Quiet with a pleasant ambience. The server was very patient and attentive.

Yuzu used to be one of my favorite sushi spots in the Atlanta area, but the quality seems to have gone down slightly. Fish is fresh, but a lot of the rolls lack much flavor if not heavily sauced, which I try to avoid. Their menu features a ton of crab salad rolls within the specialty roll section, so it can be hard to find good, fresh fish outside of the regular rolls. I have no problem ordering regular rolls, nigiri, and sashimi at sushi places, since that's what I love to eat, but the quality isn't high enough at Yuzu to really wow you. The service is usually fast, and the restaurant is rarely above half full. read more

We came in for dinner last week and really enjoyed our meal! We ordered seven rolls and one appetizer for a table of four. Most of the rolls were excellent: the Salmon Delight was particularly phenomenal, so good that we put in another order for it after one bite. Definitely order the soft shell crab, too -- it was delicious. I'd skip the 911 Roll. Overall, this is a solid sushi spot! The service was relatively prompt, despite the busy evening. Our only gripe is that we wish they had more variety in their roll options: they didn't have many choices with salmon, and the rolls are all on the heavier side. It's not the cheapest (the bill came out to ~$150 for four), but we'll definitely be back for the Salmon Delight. read more

I've passed by several times and wondered. Today I had a craving for sushi. As soon as I walked in I was asked if I place my order online. I had not. I was told that it would be better if I did and that it was gonna take a long time for my order to be ready.. yes those words almost verbatim. ( but yet I still wanted to order). I ordered the yellowtail roll and sushi tuna is -2 pieces. $16 later... I have my sushi favorite places and I admit I'm used to my sushi being served more cool than room temperature. Today's offerings were room temperature. Yellowtail roll was separated for me am I to go container. I've never seen that before I always see the wrong in the form of a roll but OK, I'm trying something new. Yellowtail inside seemed mushy. Not firm. That really was my only gripe. The restaurant was quiet, and seemingly clean. The person running the front door who greeted me, seemed very busy and overwhelmed. All in all, I say for meh.... Continued success. read more

Yuzu Sushi is solid. Currently, I think it's the best sushi restaurant in Chamblee. Among sushi restaurants, Yuzu falls below high-end, but is above typical strip mall sushi and many of those "Thai and sushi" joints. It's elevated casual. I think a good comparable restaurant in the Atlanta area is Wagaya (Westside, Decatur) and Doraku (Buckhead, RIP), and perhaps even Shoya (Doraville) and Ginya (Westside) Izakaya. If you like your sushi "authentic," which is what I prefer, meaning nigiri and not named rolls packed with a multitude of ingredients, then Yuzu should suffice. Of course, in this gentrified part of Chamblee, Yuzu offers quite the spread of "special" rolls as well. So, this place should satisfy both lovers of traditional sushi and those who enjoy Americanized sushi rolls too. Yuzu opened in June 2018 at the apartment community then known as Olmsted Chamblee and now known as The Oliver. There's plenty of free parking on-site. I believe this business is Korean owned and operated. The restaurant looks great. Very "modern Japanese," filled with medium to light toned wood, big windows (lots of natural light), and cool traditional Japanese artwork. The aesthetic is definitely more classic Japanese than hip and trendy sushi bar. Inside, the dining room looks fairly spacious. Outside, they have a fenced-in, string-lit, uncovered patio. I don't know of many sushi restaurants in Atlanta with a patio so that's definitely a plus here. Also, I say the patio is uncovered, but I did see one retractable umbrella during our visit. My wife and I loaded up on nigiri. Yuzu offers over two-dozen kinds of nigiri. While not among the most extensive nigiri menus in Atlanta, I'd consider Yuzu's nigiri offerings to be above average. For example, they offer fatty tuna belly (toro) and sea urchin (uni). And I know this isn't nigiri, but they have monk fish liver (ankimo, two pieces for $7.50) on the menu too. I noticed they have both "escolar" and "whitefish" listed, both priced at $5.50 for two pieces. The names are often synonymous with the same type of fish so we asked what the difference was. We were told the whitefish was "white tuna." White tuna is also synonymous with escolar and whitefish, so that didn't clear things up. We asked what the difference in taste was and were told the escolar was softer and, if I recall correctly, sweeter. The sashimi here is a different story compared to the nigiri. Yuzu's sashimi selection is limited to only the most basic fish: tuna, yellowtail, salmon, and albacore. Here's what we got: * Tuna roll - tekkamaki (eight pieces for $6.80) - Nigiri (two pieces per order) - * Tuna - maguro ($6.80) * Salmon - sake ($5.80) * Halibut - hirame ($5.80) * Octopus - tako ($5.00) * Mackerel - aji ($5.50) * Egg - tamago ($3.90) * Smelt egg - masago ($5.00) * Salmon egg - ikura ($6.90) * Surf clam - hokkigai ($5.00) * Japanese sea scallop - hotate ($6.80) * Freshwater eel - unagi ($6.50) * Fatty tuna belly - toro (seasonal price, $10.80) * Salmon with creamy onion tobiko ($7.80) I originally wanted to order monk fish liver and sea urchin, but unfortunately, they were out of both. In general, the sushi was fantastic. Yuzu's head sushi chef Kenny prepared our order. The quality of both the ingredients and the preparation were excellent. It was evident in both the look and taste of each piece of sushi. This wasn't run-of-the-mill sushi. This was high quality stuff, prepared the right way, and it was exactly what we were looking for -- tasty, satisfying, and authentic nigiri. One thing we noticed off the bat was how generous the portions were, especially for items like the toro, surf clam, and octopus. There was so much toro, it just swallowed up the sushi rice. There was so much clam and octopus, the chef gave us the ends (extra meat) like they were a garnish. Awesome. The serving of hokkigai was by far the biggest serving of hokkigai I've had to date (that I can remember). And it wasn't just quantity - the quality was there too. Everything was fresh and flavorful, with wonderful texture, from the soft, delicate layers of carefully-cooked tamago (sweet egg) to the melt-in-your-mouth scallop. While everything was good, if I had to pick favorites or recommendations, I'd go with the mackerel, egg, smelt egg, Japanese scallop, freshwater eel, toro, and salmon with creamy onion tobiko. The latter is unique and I want to say a chef Kenny specialty. There's not another nigiri on the menu like it. The mackerel comes with a sliver of something on top, I'm not sure what; sweetened kelp, perhaps? Whatever it is, it's good. The scallop came with green tobiko on top which I thought was a nice touch. We got our order to-go and the pieces were thoughtfully and beautifully presented. The masago and ikura were individually wrapped for transport. Miso soup was complimentary. Service was outstanding. Anna was our server. She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Thank you, Anna and Kenny. read more
