Excellent sushi, their salmon Aburi is so delicate and delicious. The time and care they take to plate a dish is greatly appreciated. Their cocktails are served very eloquently and are delicious. Nice to have a slightly higher end Sushi/Japanese restaurant on Main Street. Have visited Yugo at least 5-6 times and have never been disappointed. Will definitely be back. By the way to experience everything the restaurant has to offer try to snag one of the 5 seats at the sushi bar and watch the chefs create their masterpieces.

Came here from Seattle on a trip:
Fish and seafood miso soup: 10 stars. It was light, had an umami taste. Might take this to go back to Seattle.
Short rib: 10 stars- really yum, lightly sweet.
Shishito peppers: 9 stars, had a charred taste- super yum.
Omakase: tuna, sockeye salmon, hamachi, Atlantic salmon. Cuts were nice and fish tasted really fresh. 9 stars
Foie gras on toast: 2 stars- I think this might be because of my palate: I'm not accustomed to the flavours and taste. But someone might enjoy it- just was not for me.
Yellow-fin tuna nigiri with pepper: really fresh and yum. 10 stars.
Overall, this is a great place to visit.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 4, 2024
Stumbled upon this restaurant for Friday night dinner. The interior is simplistic but classy. The ambiance was nice and there was also a sushi bar. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy so we were seated right away. We ordered only a few items to start but weren't particularly impressed by the quality.
What we ordered:
Sockeye salmon sashimi ($10/3 pieces)
Salmon aburi ($16)
- it was good but nothing special. The flavours were not especially distinct and the presentation could be improved. The torching was uneven as well.
Chicken karaage ($13)
- the portion size of the karaage was quite generous. The batter was not oily and the chicken was cooked well.
The service was rather attentive and they had great tea. Overall, it was an alright experience. You'd probably need to order 4-5 plates for a comfortable 2 person dinner.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 18, 2024
We came here for a light dinner as the hotel we were staying at had already fed us. Reservations were made a few days in advance. We ordered their aburi salmon, albacore nigiri, Motown roll, and a karaage.
The food that we ordered was fantastic. The salmon aburi was especially impressive. My wife liked the smokiness of the salmon and how it was presented to us. The albacore was one of the best that I've had. The Motown roll had spicy tuna and tempura shrimp. It was something that my wife, a non sushi eater, liked. It was a good place for us to try.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 1 - 414113190Oct 4, 2023
Restaurant Yugo is an upscale Japanese French fusion restaurant that serves premium quality sushi as well as some less common, sophisticated offerings such as Foie Gras Donburi. I ordered some sushi for takeout from them recently. Featured here:
Hamachi Nigiri
Sockeye Salmon Nigiri
Gluten Free Avocado Oshi Sushi
Not the most exotic ingredients as Hamachi, Sockeye Salmon, and Avocado are all ingredients that you can find in pretty much any Japanese restaurant. The difference however is in how the ingredients were prepared.
Restaurant elevated these ingredients to another level. Most other restaurants use more rice for their nigiri and the fish lies flat on top of the rice. I love how the salmon and hamachi draped over the rice, with some extra fish hanging over the sides of the rice. The Avocado Oshi sushi was also sublime. Confit Tomato Sauce and Lemon Zest were brilliant additions which made the flavours pop in our mouths. My picky eater who usually just loves to eat a standard Avocado roll was most delighted with this new version of Avocado sushi!
Open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner which is another plus for me because at the time that I ordered from this place, I'd been struggling to find a good sushi restaurant where I could order for lunch on a Sunday!

I always look forward to treating myself with a meal here. We came for dine out and we ordered the Hamachi Crudo, Scotch egg, squid, fish, risotto, sushi omakase, mascarpone, cherry cheesecake, and over the top chocolate truffle.

We ordered a variety and loved everything. Service that day was a let down, perhaps they needed more hands and had newbies for dine out. Our past experience with service was exceptional. Ambiance a quiet liveliness. The portions were also very satisfactory
If we were to be picky:
-striploin was too meaty and could've benefitted from more yam chips to cut the denseness of the meat. I loved the addition of pickled mustard caviar
-sashimi crudo was phenomenal. The fish was so soft, fresh, and melts in your mouth. They were seasoned just enough to stand alone without additional soy sauce. It was placed on a thinly sliced daikon sheet and showed superb technique
-omakase was also incredible (I'm running out of adjectives!). Each nigiri had specific toppings and I encourage you to taste before self seasoning.
-duck breast was nice but it was a bit too much. The dish wasn't as cohesive than the others. I enjoyed the beet purée and was pleasantly surprised at the carmalized cipollini onions
-pasta was really nice as well. The Thai notes are definitely there and is friendly towards those who can't handle spice. Very mild! Great selection of seafood.
We ordered both the cappuccino rum mousse and passion fruit namelaka. I loved the namelaka personally and my family enjoyed the mousse. Perfect! - 84209586Jun 4, 2023
I've heard good things about Yugo so decided to order take out delivery this past Friday. Ordered the House Bento and the Aburi & Sashimi combo.
I loved the variety of the House Bento as it is unlike what us offered at other Japanese joints. The chicken karage was cooked perfectly - light in batter and not oily. The tamago was also well done and I really enjoyed the spinach gomae. The salmon aburi nigri was also quite good. The largest portion of the Bento box was grilled salmon with rice and sadly, the salmon was overcooked and a bit dry - this was quite disappointing. The Brussel sprouts still had great crunch to it, which I appreciate.
The Aburi and sashimi combo was solid and of pretty decent price point at $25. Sashimi was of decent quality and the salmon aburi, as mentioned above, was tasty.
Hopefully the dine-in experience at Yugo is better as the prices are a little higher than your average Japanese restaurant. May need to go check it out in-person to do a follow-up review.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 149594288Feb 5, 2023
Ironically, after visiting the Yugo stall in Brentwood a few times, I visiting this Yugo for the first time recently.
There is a simple elegance with Yugo which I appreciate - small interior, fairly simple and minimalistic, and the presentation of the food follows a similar theme. Yugo labels itself as 'Japanese-French fusion' and while I see the Japanese more than French, there are some subtleties which I do think make it unique.
The uni pasta was a good example example of that uniqueness; so simple and creamy but hits just right. The black cod with noodles and beef sashimi were also good, and the dessert menu perfectly compliments the entrees. My fave was the black sesame ice cream and mochi.
I would love to try Yugo out again on a future visit!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jan 6, 2023
Came here for New Year's Eve dinner as we wanted something good, but not a set menu like other places.
We ordered
1) scallop ceviche
2) albacore tuna aburi oshi sushi
3) le motown roll (spicy tuna tartar, tiger shrimp tempura, avocado, tobiko,green onions rolled with soy paper)
4) double tiger shrimp aburi oshi sushi
5) Haru special roll (salmon, albacore, white fish, tobiko rolled in cucumber)
6) Mongo ika karaage (fried squid, onion rings and truffle mayo)
7) tontoro (pork neck with pepper just, scallions and spicy yuzu)
So damn good. The haru roll was better if you ate the inside without the cucumber sheet as the cucumber altered the taste a little.
We liked the albacore tuna aburi roll, mongo ika karaage and le motown the most as the flavor blended well for each one.
The service was great. The servers were walking around the restaurant, asking if people needed anything like tea,more soy sauce, etc.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0
