[…] Yuki. For the sushi cognoscenti here in town it’s not even a question. It’s the place to go. Oh, you can try, as we all do, to find somewhere else more convenient, and of course, if you want delivery or takeout, this isn’t your place, but if you want a night out for great sushi and other Japanese food this is the spot. Since I first reviewed it (check the link above) almost seven years ago, I’ve been back maybe a dozen times, though it’s been about four years since I was last there. It kept getting pricier and pricier to go out – but then I realized that it wasn’t the food, it was that I always went with one or another friend who really like to drink and we’d end up ordering two or three bottles of sake over the course of the evening and those probably made up three quarters of the bill. Easy enough to control on a night out on my own at the sushi bar. First off, they’re not quite as strict anymore on having a reservation – they don’t just outright refuse to let you in if you don’t (I did, but a couple of people came in who didn’t), but it’s a small place and it fills up, so I recommend making one. Still hidden away behind an unmarked facade at Pasco 740 in Congreso. […]

[…] So overall – more expensive but better quality than the first spot, but still a far cry from the quality of Maki, my usual delivery spot, which is also here in the ‘hood and deliver in 20 minutes most of the time = plus, had I ordered two rolls and one nigiri selection, it would have been less than 10 pesos cheaper. The remaining two spots on the list are a fair distance from here and I doubt they’d deliver this far, so likely I’ll just leave them alone. Back to Maki for deliveries and occasional special treat evenings out at Yuki. […]
