Great value and great quality sushi. ”

Fish is so very fresh. ”

The sushi chefs are very friendly. ”

Incomparable to other Japanese Restaurants they offer friendly service and a wide variety of fishes sliced ever so nicely to make your sushi experience something to remember. ”

have never had such a bad experience after eating lots of sushi in the last 20 years. ”

Despite my disbelief that for $18 one can get a decent sushi, my friend insisted that it is good. ”
- “
Great food, and not expensive. ”

Refreshing to see something on the upper east side that won't break the bank - Yuka is a great sushi place - fresh fish, VERY REASONABLY PRICED, and quick if you call to pick up. ”
- “
Great sushi at a great price ”
- “
There is always a wait for tables at the restaurant - but hey - thats what happens with good food! ”
- “
Despite a slightly limited menu, everything prepared is done to perfection, ultra fresh and a work of food art. ”
- “
am totally crazy about the spicy salmon roll with fresh salmos, the sauce is awesome and they put fresh herbs in it. ”
- “
Their prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff is friendly and their fish is fresh and well prepared. ”

sashimi was meh, salmon was good but the tuna was a little white and seemed like the day before as the flavor had faded. ”

amazing fresh sushi double the portions and less expensive ”

It seems to me that Yuka's owners have found the magic formula of selling the ultimate junk sushi for a low price that makes it profitable and still ends up with making many people happy. ”
- “
This is some really good, inexpensive sushi. ”
- “
Everything was so fresh and so tasty ! ”
- “
1) the sushi is not fresh and is quite mediocre ”
- “
It feels so authentic, and the rolls are incredible. ”
- “
Great if you like bad service and mysterious spicy tuna ”
- “
order the sashimi sampler and I get a giant plate of fresh tasting fish. ”
- “
The sashimi was good, and the fish fresh, but the rice was soaked in vinegar and overpowered any other taste (fish, soy, wasabi). ”
- “
have reservations about the all you can eat deal, however -- the choices are fairly limited and you can probably order more food than you can eat for less than $18 by just going off the menu. ”
- “
The fish is not fresh, they overload everything with avocado and rice and they charge you for even the smalest piece of sushi left over. ”
- “
this is perhaps one of the most disgusting sushi places in all of Manhattan. ”
- “
Note that entering the restaurant you may feel that you are in a real good hole-in-the-wall sushi place but what a disappointment later. ”
- “
fish was fresh enough, but the quality was only so-so (the salmon was especially sinewy). ”
- “
Our food was coming out faster then we could eat, fantastic! ”
- “
out of the handrolls, the yuka (salmon, salmon roe, and cucumber) & the crispy salmon skin were especially good. ”
- “
The sushi is actually great for the price you pay. ”
- “
While the all you can eat peices are understandably smaller and more rice heavy the regular priced sushi is just divine. ”
- “
Yes, the rolls are large, but it is merely a big roll of rice loaded with tons of scallions and covered with spicy sauce. ”
- “
All of us received the worst sushi we have ever eaten! ”
- “
pretty good sushi for a great price ”
- “
One of the worst sushi places I have ever been to. ”

There were three of us and all agreed at how awful the sushi was. ”
- “
This place isn't trying to sell its atmosphere but rather good, cheap, authentic food. ”

love sushi, but I'm also excited to try the other Japanese dishes like udon and tonkatsu, etc., since I miss Japanese food. ”
- “
Best quality sushi at lowest price anywhere in Manhattan ”
- “
This is our most favorite sushi spot! ”
- “
Besides the workers, the food is AWESOME too. ”
- “
Out of morbid curiosity we opened a piece of each roll to see if there was any fish inside and lo and behold they did include a tiny piece in each of these huge rolls. ”
- “
4) they won't bring any more food for you until you finish what's on your plate, which is CRAZY because you can't and don't want to finish the bad bad bad sushi at this crappy restaurant! ”

It is cheap and they use fresh and high quality meat. ”

We had more than enough food for the two of us, and the sashimi was awesome. ”

Yuka is a great neighborhood sushi bar and the all-you-can eat for $18 is fantastic. ”

Sure, they get really busy, and crowded, and it might be hard to get "perfect" service, but you're here for high quality, low cost sushi --- not to be waited on hand and foot in your own private booth. ”
- “
As for the quality of the fish, the nigiri was passable at best, and the cut rolls were borderline inedible. ”
- “
The sushi makers are great too. ”
- “
believe that the sushi is pretty fresh and an excellent value for $18! ”
- “
Not to say I don't appreciate the crazy, but sometimes you just want some tasty, fresh fish on rice. ”
- “
Thanks god food was delicious. ”
- “
Yuca Restaurant is probably the most decent and fantastic sushi place you will eat at. ”
- “
the all-u-can-eat sushi is definitely in very poor quality. ”
