We had a party of 7 for dinner at Yuzu on the night of the Christmas tree lighting downtown. It was packed. The nice folks at Yuzu had our table ready on time even on one of their busiest nights. Service was fast and friendly. The food was excellent, especially the shoyu tare ramen. Creative cocktails as well! Great experience, we will be back.

The fancy crispy chicken sandwich was delicious but very messy to eat as a sandwich. I'm not sure I would change anything but perhaps offer a wet nap to patrons. 😊

Great food and a great vibe. Service was fantastic and we were checked on not just by our waitress, but also the other staff including our hostess. Definitely not a quiet place, but this is part of the deal. Just overall awesome.
