Sushi Yasu – well trusted sushi restaurant

I think Sushi Yasu is the restaurant I’ve remained the most faithful so far! After all these years  (about and around 10 years if not more), I continued visiting it. It’s the most consistent restaurant in terms of sushi quality.  Definitely one of the tops in south shore.

This restaurant is owned and managed by Japanese, which is always something I sought after. There’s something about food that we feel it’s more authentic when it’s served with the original ethnic people. But to my experience, it’s not because they are the original ethnic people that would mean that the food would be super good…However, this does not apply to Sushi Yasu. They serve great sushi and other japanese dishes. But I have to say that I rarely try anything other than their sushi.

If you are looking for creative and fun sushi, you are at the wrong place. Sushi Yasu does not have much varieties. They serve the most common sushi. However, their quality is very solid. But I must say, their sashimi isn’t the best I ever ate. But because their quality is so consistent among everything , which is their strength.

Salad with their fantastic home made sauce

Their salad is very simple but yet very delicious. Apparently, it’s so popular that they are starting to sell the sauce by itself.

Their soft crab shell sushi is always very good. Their roll with the grilled eel is very delicious as well! What I like about their rolls is that they don’t overdo it with their sauce. More and more sushi has TONS AND TONS of sauce, which is not what sushi is about! Sushi is about tasting the freshness of the seafood! and…their ingredients (ok…maybe I am wrong, but that’s at least what I think it should be!)

Takoyaki

Takoyaki

Every time I see Takoyaki in a menu, I am so tempted to order them…but I never really like it. I think they are just so cute and not widely available that when you see in a menu, you gotta order it. What I like about this Takoyaki is that there isn’t any big squirt of oil once you bite it.

Tempura

Tempura

I don’t like shrimp tempura in general. I only eat vegetable tempura times to times. And their tempura is so nicely fried that it’s very crisp. Some might be disappointed with the size of the shrimps though. But in Japan, if my memory serves me right, they are usually served in this size!

This dish comes in a combo. Just the look at it you can tell how authentic it is! However, like I have mentioned previously, their sashimi isn’t the best. But they are fresh – just I have tasted so much better in Mikado that I am really picky with my sashimi.

This dish is ordered from the individual sushi list menu. Just to justify how fresh their seafood are. They taste authentically good. How sushi is suppose to be!

Like I say, Sushi Yashi can give you quality sushi but nothing fancy. There’s a reason why I am customers of theirs for so many years…maybe you’ll become one as well 🙂

    I’ve been curious about their ankimo for a while which I haven’t seen on any menu in any Japanese restaurant in Montreal. It’s considered a delicacy.

      I never questioned what it was on their menu, probably because of the absence of translation on the menu. I will make sure to try it next time I go there!

    How would you rate other south shore sushi places like kamikaze sushi or raku sushi compared to this place?

    • zuuchini says:

      Hi Joel! Sadly, I cannot give an opinion on that as I’ve never been to either one. My friend actually suggested to me try Raku not too long ago. From the little research that I did for Raku, Raku offer more modern varieties. Like I have said in my post, I find that the only people that can enjoy Yasu is that they want traditional sushi. Nothing fancy. Just good old sushi.
