Yuzu Sushi & Grill

Just a quick food post to show some pics of last night's dinner (w/Nick) at a nice, hole-in-the-wall sushi place in San Mateo. Check it out.


Spicy Pork Salad. Nothing special about the salad (just lettuce, 1000 island-style dressing) but the slices of pork had an amazing flavor and just the right touch of spice.

Nick has a weakness for beef tongue so we ordered this beef tongue stew. Nice, sauce-y stew that complemented the tender beef tongue very nicely.

A selection of sashimi: hamachi (yellow fin), shiromi (some sort of white fish), maguro (tuna) and sake (salmon). Very delicious, especially the shiromi which I could not identify as a fish I have had before.

Apparently not content with the food we had eaten up to that point, we also indulged in a bit of dessert as well. Black sesame crème brûlée (tasty in a new sort of way), green tea ice cream and sliced kiwifruit (unknown origin...didn't come with a Zespri label).

Overall, quite a delicious meal and while the food tasted great, it ended up being pricey enough that I won't be coming regularly. I thought we got pretty decent service throughout the evening from the jolly Japanese lady. Give this place a try if you happen to be craving sushi in San Mateo!
