Hidden Sushi Gem in Washington Heights. Recommend the bento boxes, they will fill you up. The menu prices are affordable and food quality is fresh and tasty. The staff are super nice as well.

Girlfriend and I walked here from 104th St. It was quite a walk and we were hungry. We also had a dog with this. They were very friendly and accommodating to our dog and let him sit outside, next to us. The breeze was blowing and the atmosphere was pleasant. Good service. Nice napkins and spicy wasabi. The sushi also tasted very fresh and the price was reasonable. We each got 2 rolls and 1 large bottle of Saki. The total was 40 not including tip (the sake was 11). Would definitely come back here again. Thanks.

In terms of food... Their sushi is excellent. In terms of service, we couldn’t have been happier. This was our favorite restaurant in the heights to go with our kids because they were always so understanding, patient, and kind. If you’ve got young kids, you know how hard dining out can be. Sushi Yu 2 was always the easiest. They’d bring out food for the kiddos as soon as possible and interact with them too. It was always a judgment free atmosphere. Order the boat is you want an experience too :)

I discovered this place just before the pandemic began. I was impressed with the quality of ingredients and portions. I am glad they found a way to remain open and are now even seating inside. And the food is just as good, if not a little more expensive. I'm still happy to pay for quality food that is fresh and kindly served.

Good sushi . Fairly quick service. Decent prices. One of the closest sushi places around my neighborhood. They weee very accommodating. The place needs a bit more ambiance in my opinion.... but it’s fairly straight forward in terms of sushi menus. ...

I will miss this place. I used to go to the restaurant when they were on 181st St., and then I got their food when they moved into the Q Mart store, but they have closed for good. They had good prices for the sushi, and I never had any problems with them. I’m sorry for those who did have some issue with their food. Don’t know what you guys ordered, but I’m glad I never came across those issues. I will miss this place. It no longer exist. They are gone forever. But this place was called “Sushi Yu 2.” Maybe “Sushi Yu 1” still exists and is the same owner?

Ordered the Shrimp Tempura Lunch Box for delivery and very happy with it arriving hot and on schedule. Decent enough tempura, felt like some pieces had a bit too much batter at the ends, but still tasted good and fresh. The shumai were perfect little bite-sized pieces and the accompanying salad and miso soup were nice additions. Will have to try the actual sushi next time, the rice was on point.
