What to Order
Omakase ($98 price point)
This omakase offers excellent value, featuring fresh, high-quality fish and a well-paced experience perfect for those new to omakase or seeking a consistent, affordable option.
"Sushi Yugen is my favourite $98 price point omakase! I've been here a couple of times and both times the quality and service were amazing."
Cindy Tran
Torched A5 Wagyu Sushi (add-on)
A luxurious add-on piece of sushi featuring premium torched A5 wagyu beef, offering a rich and melt-in-your-mouth experience.
"The premium omakase came with a piece of torched A5 wagyu sushi - which in my opinion competed for best bite with the otoro sushi."
Fay Bee
Truffle White Fish Appetizer
A delicate and aromatic starter that perfectly balances the subtle fragrance of truffle with fresh white fish, setting a refined tone for the meal.
"The truffle white fish appetizer was a great start, with a delicate aroma of truffle rather than the overpowering smell of truffle oil. It was just the right amount to whet the appetite."
Britt Zhang
Tuna Hand Roll
A freshly prepared hand roll generously filled with tuna, encased in crispy nori for a delightful textural contrast.
"The tuna hand roll was my favorite. It was freshly made and the amount of tuna was generous. The nori was crispy, and it was a delightful treat."
Britt Zhang
Hokkaido Sea Urchin (add-on)
An optional add-on for uni lovers, this Hokkaido sea urchin is noted for its freshness and clean flavor.
"We also ordered an extra piece of Hokkaido sea urchin. It wasn't particularly luxurious, but it was fresh and had no off-flavors. If you want to try it, you can order one piece."
Britt Zhang
Matcha Pudding
A subtly sweet and flavorful matcha-infused dessert, providing a perfect, light conclusion to the omakase experience.
"The matcha pudding dessert was not too sweet and had a pleasant matcha flavor. It was a perfect way to finish the meal."

Inside Scoop
- The $98 omakase is highly recommended for its value and quality, especially for first-timers.
- Be aware of the strict cancellation policy; they charge a fee for last-minute cancellations.
- The atmosphere can sometimes be loud due to large groups, which may detract from an intimate omakase experience.
- The pace of the omakase can be fast, which is great for business lunches but might feel rushed for a leisurely dinner.
- While the chefs explain each piece, the overall interaction is minimal if you're seeking a highly engaging chef's table experience.
