    Funny, but I couldn’t find the front door.🤣 The restaurant layout was interesting. The decor was nice and bright. We sat at the bar but I would choose a table next time. We were impressed with almost all of the dishes we ordered~ especially the vegan gyoza and bao. Wow! I’m craving both of them. Looking forward to my next visit to Yasai!

    As always, the food is just phenomenal. Service was excellent. The rolls (vegan) are pricy, but well worth it. Wish the place was a little more fancy inside, but, all in all, still no worries, because the rolls are so darn good. Keep up the good work!

    Delicious experience of vegan sushi and other veg or vegan items that make your mouth water and your tastebuds celebrate, craving more and more! The service staff is friendly and helpful and really seem happy, which also makes the experience a great one! Will be back soon!
