We were visiting from out of town and found this restaurant while searching online. The photos and reviews looked very inviting, so we decided to give it a try — and we were so glad we did!

Ordered the chefs choice and couldn't have been happier. The miso black cod was the star of the show, next time I'd focus on that and pick and choose from the apps and desserts. Speaking of desert, the layered (phyllo maybe?) matcha cake was a joy before I even tasted it. The way the spoon, with only gravity's force, cut through it with fragile resistance at each of its 20 or layers, let me know I was in for something special - I wasn't disappointed. I plan on going back, honestly...read full review
We came here an early lunch on a Sunday and when we walked in we were in awe of the beautiful decor as well as the ambiance! Our hostess and waitress, Briana was the most gentle, kind and light hearted person! She made sure we had everything we needed and was very knowledgeable about the menu and offered great recommendations! While we were eating the place became very busy and Briana held her composure very well and never became flustered! We had the calamari, gyoza, seaweed...read full review

Yuji Modern Japanese offers incredible food and a beautiful aesthetic in Midtown. The staff are super kind and professional, providing A+ customer service at the bar. Customer can enjoy great sushi roll, shrimp tempura, king salmon sashimi, crispy tuna and a delicate sashimi app. The Smoking Jacket cocktail, a French 76 and Japanese vodka are popular drinks, and mocktails are also available. The option for actual grated wasabi root adds high quality flavor, and the flavor of each dish is good even when a crispy tuna piece is a bit hard and stale. The location has direct entrance to a parking garage, though parking is not validated and can be pricey. Seating is fast with no wait or reservations, perfect for an early dinner while waiting for Friday traffic to calm down. The beltline is right nearby for a walk after a meal. Customers enjoy conversation about sushi journeys and Japanese culture with enthusiasm. The experience is exceptional every time and highly recommend for a solo date or a night out.
