I admit I'm a bit of a restaurant snob who considers most restaurants north of 85th street the sole domain of fast food outlets or fare served along with a hefty dose of cigarette smoke and Budweiser. But this fresh and clean enclave of very good sushi and upscale saki is a pleasant surprise in the no-man's land of 137th and Aurora. Tucked in between some auto repair shop and other destination only businesses, Yamashiro's is easy to miss. Once inside you could be anywhere though. The sushi is high quality and portions generous for the price. I have to admit I like it a lot. The owner is very excited about bringing downtown sushidom to northend denizens and wants to serve and serve well. What more could you ask for? Well besides another location, more customers. So come on down since I'd hate to see this place go away.
Pros: Excellent sushi, great price, caring owner
Cons: , too bright inside
