Sushi Yu

Salmon teriyaki bebop box is superb. Their shumai is lightly fried to be crispy on the outside: very good!

Wasn't too busy during the day on a Saturday and the service was fast.

Ordered through GrubHub, arrived twenty minutes late. Not the best way to start.
Ordered two lunch specials, three sushi rolls in each, miso soup, edamame with dumpling and a small salad.
The hot miso was delivered directly on top of the sushi, which meant I had hot sushi. Everyone loves that, right?
The edamame was old, dry, poorly seasoned and probably should have been thrown away two days ago rather than served to me now.
The sushi rolls were all awful, and not just because they were hot. Burnt, chewy salmon skin (how!?), old, tough eel, the boston roll had literally a sliver of 'lobster' in one of the five pieces, the rest were 90% iceberg lettuce with a hint of cream cheese.
The shrimp smelled and tasted old, I spit it out. How can you serve this to people? It could easily make them sick!
The spicy tuna tasted like nothing. No spice, no salt, no tuna...I'm not sure what they are using but tuna should be delicious and spicy tuna should be seasoned.
We didn't finish this meal, 70% went into the trash. I get it, it's a lunch special but I don't think 'special' should mean terrible. If this is the best you can do for a lunch special, please don't do it!
There are way too many good sushi places in NYC for me to consider this place again. This meal was so bad the next time I order sushi I will remember not to consider here. Lost a customer.

Also, I am a chef in the city at a well-established fish restaurant with a popular crudo menu so if you're considering shrugging this off, please consider that.

Sushi Yu recently changed owners. Very interested in making customers welcome and pleased. The new owner New Owner is a motivated chef is a duck and caviar aficionado. Manhattan Roll is current favorite with four kinds of caviar. The music is finally changed, the fish tank is finally cleaned and care for. Generous with the saki keeping me up with my traditions.

Got the lunch 2 roll deal. My first experience and I am definitely pleased!
The presentation is lovely and I'm glad I took the chance!

Sushi Yu get's an A.
