About
Sushi Yasuda was founded in 1999 by chef Naomichi Yasuda, whose warm rice-temperature philosophy and Edomae style became influential across the New York sushi scene. Yasuda returned to Japan in 2013, and the restaurant has continued under Japanese kitchen leadership on East 43rd Street. It remains one of the city's most reliable high-quality omakase and a la carte sushi counters.
Neighborhood & visiting
Sushi Yasuda sits in Midtown East, one of New York's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. The house does not publish an online booking link; call ahead to secure a seat, especially on weekends. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
