    We had dinner with several friends here tonight. The private room was tight, but acceptable. The sashimis were very fresh, the butter fish was well prepared. The raw oysters were fresh as well and small as we’d ordered. All dishes were fairly traditional, but lacked creativity and proper presentation.

    Food was no doubt very fresh and flavorful. The ambiance was very welcoming and warm, great for family and friends to catch up. Only problem is the service. We waited for one butter fish to be served as part of the meal but was never served ton one of our party members when others already had theirs ahead. We notified the staff but and had it to go but still never came.

    Local spot for delicious sushi, great people, great food, great times. We ordered a platter sashimi set, a few rolls, and some other goodies. We were quite lucky - the team sent over a different platter, but let us keep it free of charge! Awesome! Yanagi is a crowd favorite, we will certainly be back next time around. 감사합니다!

    The sashimi in average is a bit under expectation as the taco was too chewy, salmon was not that fatty smooth. But the butterfish miso-yaki was amazing. Overall was a good dining experience.
