Yuzu Reviews
Cozy little Japanese restaurant with super friendly servers. The owner works at the counter. I come for Ishiyaki Hitsumamushi (Stone Bowl Seafood Rice) which I don’t think is served anywhere else. I also had tuna bone marrow for appetitzer and black sesame cheesecake for dessert. So many other dishes I want to try so will be back.

Yuzu, a Japanese-owned restaurant in the Bay Area, offers a delightful dining experience with fresh fish straight from Japan.

Customers have enjoyed sushi and dishes like hamachi kama, chicken teriyaki dinner, ribeye steak dinner, and ishiyaki, with many noting that the fish is very fresh and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Recent reviews mention incredible shrimp heads that are crispy and meaty, as well as solid nigiri that customers find worth returning for. The fish bone marrow is described as a wild surprise, adding to the unique offerings. The service remains attentive and friendly, with staff catering to the needs of customers and providing accommodations for families, including special treats for children. Yuzu has a small dining room with close tables, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Free street parking is available along 36th, making it convenient for takeout.
