Bit overrated for my taste. I ordered the OMAKASE to see and taste the expertise selection of the Sushi chef. To start with my stress built at the moment I called to make the reservation, they quite strict with it plus you’ll have only 2-hrs for consumption. My friend drove all the way from Santa Barbara, CA and took him over 3-hours to arrive due to the bad traffic on the 210-fwy. 15-minutes after your reservation it’ll be canceled I was so stressed out that I had to have a beer to calm me down time was ticking my friend was stock on traffic till he finally made it safely. We both ordered the OMAKASE, it finally arrived dish by dish; the presentation was ok but, some of the sashimi had been...
Here 's what I love about Yui... I love the sushi! The rice is warm, the fish is fresh and everything tastes great. I love the chicken karaage lunch special. A bunch of perfectly fried chunks of chicken with soup, salad and rice for 12 bucks. Easily the best lunch deal in Sierra Madre. I love the kushiyaki! They don 't specialize in meat on sticks , but if you only got these skewers, you would be convinced it was all they did all day.

I've tried countless sushi restaurants throughout Los Angeles, and Yui is one of my favorite go to sushi spots. It's located in a charming little spot in Sierra Madre, relatively unknown (which I like), with no more than a 30 40 person capacity, inside and outside.

These are some of my favorites: Snow crab sushi (A MUST) Crispy rice with spicy salmon Crispy rice with spicy tuna Tuna lettuce cups Scallop sushi Salmon belly sushi Albacore sushi Yellowtail belly sushi Black throat perch Uni (ask them whet...
Katsu, owner and chef, is a wonderful proprietor. If you sit at the sushi bar (recommended) he is amazing to watch and is happy to explain what he is doing and give samples to help you understand. The food is amazingly fresh, some items still alive before they are served. I highly recommend this wonderful sushi nirvana!!

Very good! Started with the miso soup, which was as good as I have ever had. All the dishes are very fresh and well president. Chef is from Japan, and gave us great insight on his culture. Reasonably priced. I recommend the lunch specials
