I love Asian food and one of the things that I love more is when the owners of the restaurants care about the quality of the product they sell and I have been able to meet the owners of this restaurant and have been impressed with how much they care about the quality of their food and the experience of the customers. Amazing overall!

Tasty spot with a fast food vibe. They have a counter set up like chipotle and you can basically make your own bowl or burrito. There are also a number of other things on the menu. Everything is clean and the food is fresh. Employees seem to give the vibe that they don't want to be there but are not rude or anything like that, just not overly cheery either. I was also surprised to see that they charge extra for avocado on a poke bowl as that usually is a standard item to put in such things. I'm a fan of the fact that they have a ton of rice substitute options and that's a big bonus for me.

This place is tucked away downtown. The food was really good and they have several vegetarian and vegan options. Their menu is online and you have to scan a QR code on the table. The ramens are decently sized and filling.

Food was fine--not life changing. Prices steep and service extremely cold and slow. Felt as though being a patron was bothersome to mgmt. Highlights: Seafood was definitely fresh + nice selection of toppings. Recommend getting a side of sauces for a bowl as I found it dry. Sushi burrito was fun--a little overly dense and creamy, but good. Pork belly bao buns were the champions flavor wise, but the bun got spookily soggy and deteriorated in my hand which I hadn't experienced before. I dunno what the hype is about. Not to say I'd never return, but I'm fine without. (3.5 stars)

I've been eating at YUZU Kitchen for a few years and never had a bad meal. Today I decided to be adventurous and ordered a Korean Poké not knowing what to expect.I was overwhelmed by how good it was and couldn't help myself and called Gary the owner of YUZU to let him know how FANTASTIC it was, needless to say he was very pleased and appreciative.YUZU is definitely a dinner destination for me at least once a week.Avi Rofé

I have ordered here for years and until today never had a bad experience. We brought home lunch and when I opened the poke container, it smelled rancid. We brought it back and the owner would not give our money back or replace the poke bowl with a fresh one. HE HAD THE NERVE TO TELL MY HUSBAND THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE MORE SENSITIVE TO ODORS THAN OTHERS! My whole kitchen smells like rotting food! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!!!! OWNER DOES NOT DO RIGHT BY HIS CLIENTELE!!!

3 points for the clean environment. Points deducted for the attitude and negative vibe at the place. Taste is nothing extraordinary. It is ordinary sushi instead of cutting to small rolls they give you the sushi roll as whole.

Ramen was very good. Plus it's been a minute since I've had good pork buns. Chicken buns were good too, actually I think I liked them more.

I have been coming to Yuzu since it opened. Love the food but the portion on the Poke Bowl shrank recently and the last time I was there I asked why did you start charging a credit card fee and the owner rudely said “well I charge this fee at all 4 of my restaurants”. As I watched him pull away in his Mercedes GLS, I thought to myself, I guess he needs the credit card fee to help make his car payment!! If you like the convenience and extra business of accepting credit cards, then deal with it, don’t penalize customers for using a card. Adjust your prices so I don’t feel like I am getting robbed when I use my credit card. I am sure most people are using a card to pay anyway. When I signed up for my credit card, it did not say I would be charged an extra 3.5% fee for using it!! What a shame!! Totally turned off by the NEW fee and the way the owner acted towards me.

The best poke restaurant in the area! The crispy rice with tuna is phenomenal. The owner and staff are amazing and I always have a great experience when I’m here.
