Reviews for Yanagi Sushi & Grill in Pismo Beach, CA

Rolls were good, but I've had better. Prices were outrageous, it was $100 for me my husband and our 3 year old. We were the only... ones there so service was good, they were bored so we were WELL taken care of lol Read more

My husband and I took our son to Yanagi Sushi & Grill on Oct. 6th for a birthday dinner experience at the Tappan table. We got... there at 5 PM and put our name in for the first seating at 6 PM. We were sat where the hostess wanted us to sit and not wherewe wanted to sit. we?re told we had to wait and see if someone else who might show up does actually show up because she haschosen the seats we wanted to seat these people who never did show up. Unbelievable! She already knew we were celebrating abirthday too. The food was okay. I tasted more soy sauce than the food. Maybe I already had a bad taste in my mouth from theseating arrangements.

If I could rate this place a zero I would. First save your $$$ this place is literally disgusting. The food is less than... mediocre and the womens restroom was dirtier than an outhouse. When I requested to speak to the manager all this person had tosay was make excuses on how they don?t have a female to clean the restrooms. I couldn?t believe the response I was given when Ibrought up their disgusting restroom. What a waste of an evening out! Read more

We picked a wrong night as it was noisy beyond belief due to a hughe homecoming crowd. However the food was good and authentic.... The staff were friendly, and once we were seated our meal was served quickly. Read more

Very good. Our teppan cook was great. Food was great. View was awesome. Had the teppan lobster, filet mignon, shrimp, and... chicken in our party. Had the yanagi sushi roll - awesome! Wish they had noodles as an option instead of just rice forteppan. Wish they had a full bar. They also need more teppan grills/tables. We had to make a reservation for the nextnight. Read more

Great view, friendly staff, good food. The hot sake machine was broken but our server agreed to heat it up the old fashioned way... for us barbarians. Cook was friendly and engaging. I do wish they offered cocktails but that's a mjnor quibble. Highlyrecommend. Read more

Excellant as usual. The food was delicious and our chef Panda was terrific as always!

Overall this can be a fun place to go on special occasions. The food and overall service is mediocre as well as the... restaurant. I think it has to do with since it is unique idea and can charge a lot you don?t really need to up one?s game tobring people in. As with any popular restaurant in our area and tourist focused there is no reservations (and they just don?tpick up the phone) and even if you get there when open up you still might have to wait. The cooking is fun if get a good cookand the food is not bad and I try not to give it extra points when super hungry. Lots of potential and can be fun on specialoccasions. However, a bit overpriced for what you get in service and food. Read more
