Great for late-night sushi!
Thursday, April 13, 2006
I admit I'm a bit of a restaurant snob who considers most restaurants north of 85th St., especially along Aurora, the domain of fast food outlets or questionable fare. But this fresh and clean enclave of good sushi and upscale saki and cocktails is a pleasant surprise in the no-man's land of 137th and Aurora. Tucked in between an auto repair shop, a bubble tea shop and a teriyaki joint, Yamashiro is easy to miss although once inside you could be anywhere. The sushi is good quality and portions generous for the price. The owner is excited about bringing downtown sushidom to northend denizens. *And* they're open till 11pm on weeknights, which almost unheard outside of downtown. What more could you ask for? (Besides a better location.)
