Well it’s been probably over year since I last visited this place. Oh my how it has improved. $ 3 all sushi train! Again $ 3 «ALL» sushi train! There’s no working out complex quadratic equations if x+y to the power of(xy)=blue plate. No just one price all plates! AND all day! I’m seeing myself coming here more on a regular basis.

I’ve eaten here twice now and in the future I will abstain from eating here again, so this review comes from my own subjective two visits to the restaurant. Both times what I’ve found wanting was the diversity of sushi. There is not enough choice of fish which is something which would make the restaurant better. The quality of the fish is average, nothing extraordinary. The music is nice and the staff is very friendly but the food is unfortunately nothing special. my final words are: there are better sushi restaurants in Perth.

If there is one thing I don’t joke about it’s sushi. Sushi is serious business, folks. Life and death kind of serious. I know this is reinforcing the ‘Americans have a superiority complex about everything’ stereotype and I apologize, but the sushi in Australia is just terrible. Overpriced, tasteless and about as satisfying as a machete through the abdomen. Yuzu Kaiten was no different. I went on the whim of the locals boasting it’s epicness and left seriously regretting that decision. It was the basic, run of the mill sushi train. The dragon roll was just a prawn wrapped in rice and covered in mayo, the nigiri tuna has more wasabi on it than actual fish and when is it ever okay to put sweet chili sauce on a roll? The answer is never. There is no originality to their dishes and I found it all very bland. I left feeling disappointed, hungry and craving good ol’ American sushi. To add insult to injury, my bill was pretty hefty. The staff was lovely, but I will never pay that much money again for food that I dislike.

I can’t believe I haven’t noticed this place before. Tucked away underneath Brumbys, on the left, this place makes amazing Japanese food. I definitely prefer it to Tan Po Po across the road. The Dragon Roll with tempura prawn and the Spider Roll with snow crab were both fantastic(when is snow crab not fantastic though?!) It’s a really small restaurant, in fact it’s really just a sushi train bar with a couple of booths, so book ahead if there’s more than three of you.

It’s surprising to realise there’s not too many Japanese eateries in the main hub of Mt Lawley. So far, really, I’ve only tried Tan Po Po for teriyaki, and this place for quick and easy sushi. Yuzu Sushi Train is as convenient and clean a dining experience as any other sushi train around town but there’s something about this place that makes it more special than your average Jaws. The staff are dressed in traditional Japanese attire, not the typical kimono, which makes for a refreshing aesthetic change. The ambience is less boisterous than train establishments in the city. And the sushi here starts at a very friendly $ 2.80 a plate. So what’s on the menu? Nigiri(the typical sliced fish), Carpaccio(more thinly sliced and dressed in sauces or vinigerettes), Hosomaki Roll(your typical sushi with seaweed on the outside), and then more daring dishes like Gunkan(piled high with salmon roe egg) and Chicken Karaage that’s so yummy, I would give up KFC for it. I’ve not tried any of the a la carte dishes on the menu, but the tempura looks delightful judging by what I spied on one patron’s table(yes there are tables here as well as booths and train-seating). Must come back to try that.

The staff at YUZU wear the traditional Japanese peasant dress, different from the usual Kimono. The uniform is fitting because the staff are so cheerful and humble and I’m always made to feel so welcome at their restaurant. The small restaurant is decorated in typical urban Tokyo style and is focused around the sushi train. There are about 4 or 5 booths and group tables too. The sushi is supremely fresh and there are good vegetarian options. My sister always goes the bean sprout and avocado nigiri. I enjoy the Vege Ten which is mixed capsicum and lettuce. Mum is s sucker for the Gyoza and the prawn balls. Anything not on the sushi train, in fact even if it is, they will gladly make up for you fresh in the kitchen. There is always calm jazz music playing, which sets the tone for a peaceful dining experience. YUZU is my go to when I want an easy, no-fuss, healthy meal. Go between 5 and 6 when they have Happy Hour and enjoy $ 1 off sushi train plates.

Yuzu, like a lot of places in the area, is tucked away into a little corner between Fresh Provisions and Swish n Chips. It offers an a la carte menu, as well as a sushi train with small booths to seat 4(6, if you squish up). Every time I have been, it has always been really calm and relaxed, no busy kitchen or loud music, just the quiet hum of other peoples conversations. Really nice environment to eat your dinner, maybe even take someone on a date. Hint. I found it to be a little expensive for my student budget, however, they know how to make a mean sushi roll. Definitely one of the better places to get Japanese food in the area.
