- “
order the sashimi sampler and I get a giant plate of fresh tasting fish. ”
- “
As for the quality of the fish, the nigiri was passable at best, and the cut rolls were borderline inedible. ”
- “
The service was good, courteous, and quick, but the sushi was atrocious. ”
- “
Yes, the rolls are large, but it is merely a big roll of rice loaded with tons of scallions and covered with spicy sauce. ”
- “
There were three of us and all agreed at how awful the sushi was. ”
- “
The sushi was very fresh and tasty. ”
- “
sashimi was meh, salmon was good but the tuna was a little white and seemed like the day before as the flavor had faded. ”
- “
This place isn't trying to sell its atmosphere but rather good, cheap, authentic food. ”

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

Our food was coming out faster then we could eat, fantastic! ”

We had more than enough food for the two of us, and the sashimi was awesome. ”
- “
great value - good food ”
- “
Great if you like bad service and mysterious spicy tuna ”
- “
fish was fresh enough, but the quality was only so-so (the salmon was especially sinewy). ”
- “
amazing fresh sushi double the portions and less expensive ”
- “
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. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
really enjoyed thier great AYCE sushi. ”
- “
Despite my disbelief that for $18 one can get a decent sushi, my friend insisted that it is good. ”

this is perhaps one of the most disgusting sushi places in all of Manhattan. ”

Huge fresh slices with good flavor. ”

It feels so authentic, and the rolls are incredible. ”
- “
Yuca Restaurant is probably the most decent and fantastic sushi place you will eat at. ”
- “
This is our most favorite sushi spot! ”
- “
The sashimi was good, and the fish fresh, but the rice was soaked in vinegar and overpowered any other taste (fish, soy, wasabi). ”
- “
The sushi makers are great too. ”
- “
Very fresh sushi, cute and friendly waitresses, very cheerful sushi chefs, and VERY CHEAP. ”
- “
am totally crazy about the spicy salmon roll with fresh salmos, the sauce is awesome and they put fresh herbs in it. ”
- “
Great sushi at a great price ”
- “
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. ”
- “
The sushi is actually great for the price you pay. ”
- “
Great value and great quality sushi. ”
- “
Not to say I don't appreciate the crazy, but sometimes you just want some tasty, fresh fish on rice. ”

1) the sushi is not fresh and is quite mediocre ”

Best quality sushi at lowest price anywhere in Manhattan ”
- “
This is some really good, inexpensive sushi. ”
- “
love sushi, but I'm also excited to try the other Japanese dishes like udon and tonkatsu, etc., since I miss Japanese food. ”
- “
Their prices are incredibly reasonable, the staff is friendly and their fish is fresh and well prepared. ”
- “
The spicy Tuna roll is huge and probably the best that I've had at this price range. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
Thanks god food was delicious. ”
- “
out of the handrolls, the yuka (salmon, salmon roe, and cucumber) & the crispy salmon skin were especially good. ”

Fish is so very fresh. ”

their sushi are always very fresh. ”

All of us received the worst sushi we have ever eaten! ”

Besides the workers, the food is AWESOME too. ”

While the all you can eat peices are understandably smaller and more rice heavy the regular priced sushi is just divine. ”
- “
have never had such a bad experience after eating lots of sushi in the last 20 years. ”
- “
the all-u-can-eat sushi is definitely in very poor quality. ”
- “
Despite a slightly limited menu, everything prepared is done to perfection, ultra fresh and a work of food art. ”
- “
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! ”
- “
There is always a wait for tables at the restaurant - but hey - thats what happens with good food! ”
- “
fresh sushi - but they seem to play favorites here ”

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. ”

Trust this review and take a try at one of the most amazingly delicious sushi restaurants on Earth! ”

believe that the sushi is pretty fresh and an excellent value for $18! ”

One of the worst sushi places I have ever been to. ”

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. ”
- “
Fresh sushi - too good to be true. ”
- “
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. ”
- “
pretty good sushi for a great price ”
- “
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. ”
