Yamazato Sushi Spice - Alexandria

I’ve been here a handful of times before and it never disappoints. The selection and quality is superb and we were amazed by the white tuna, we had to reorder more during our meal.

Somehow this place is hit and miss. Pad se ew and sushi were good. The Udon dish was horrible. It's plain, like no taste at all. My kids said it tasted like water with plain noodles and plain veggies. However the shrimp tempura that came with it was so good. Service was not impressed either, only 1 server. She was nice but we couldn't wait 20-30 minutes to put the order in while hungry kids started to whine.

I love their large shrimp and vegetable tempura with crisp breading on crisp shrimp; shrimp have a great bite and taste. My companion loved the shrimp and scallop satay. My other companion lauds the sushi and rolls. It is a beautiful, intimate space with super friendly serving staff. It makes for a lovely evening. I cannot fathom how the word has not gotten out about this well run and delicious restaurant at a good price. I just want to make sure it is there for me next time. Suzi

Yamazato is one of the places that we still choose to go for sushi. I am not sure exactly what happened to the eel sauce. It's the second sushi restaurant recently where I found it too sweet and too plentiful. On the positive side, we enjoyed the miso soup and my husband really enjoyed the drunken noodles. I got the rock and roll ...roll...and I am not sure why they use cream cheese. I prefer a good old fashioned dragon roll with eel and tempura shrimp. Formerly, Yamazato custom prepared the roll that I wanted, but I was urged to choose from the menu.

The food was delicious! I had the bulgogi and a la carte sushi. My friend had the teriyaki chicken. We both got a cocktail (chocolate martini and stardust martini i think) the gyoza was delicious. Very happy with my experience there!Food: 5/5
