Yukisan

A tasting menu in a Japanese restaurant? For £24.50? An unusual find, especially in Plymouth though the price told my girlfriend and me that we were no longer in London!
Located on Notte street, close to lots of other eateries, Yukisan won our vote with the good value of the tasting menu. The restaurant extends a long way in and the decoration was a little eclectic with a big red telephone box in the middle of the restaurant
The service was spot on and the food arrived quickly. We opened with a lovely miso soup enhanced by the luxury of scallop, the perfect antidote to the cold winter weather outside. Then, a little rose shaped roll of salmon sashimi — sweet and fresh
The next 2 dishes arrived together. Asparagus wrapped in ribeye beef and deep fried prawn were lovely contrasting and moreish ways to advance through the menu
There was a choice of main course and the girlfriend and I chose both between us — a sushi platter and a chicken katsu curry. Again, satisfyingly tasty and filling
The only downside was the green tea ice cream, something which I’ve never learned to appreciate with its bitter notes tasting funny for a dessert
Unbelievably priced tasting menu

What can I say?
I live in Horrabridge, just 10 or so miles outside Plymouth and have visited Yukisan a number of times now and each time I have not been disappointed.
The portions are huge, the meat tender, the sauces deep and tasty and all in all the entire experience a brilliant one.
I will be back again, as always, as the staff are friendly, the aforementioned food excellent and the choice astounding, both for me and my Vegetarian wife.

Expensive and prone to small portions, even by Japanese standards but otherwise perfect in every way. Highly recommended but think carefully about where you will park. One of the best restaurants in the city. Note how much more friendly and hospitable it is compared with dark and precious Tanners just around the corner.

Food tastes as good as it looks and has a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. As with nearly all Japanese restaurants the menu is mainly sushi and sashimi. it could be even better if other traditional dishes were offered such as shabu shabu and teryaki. Anyway, how good is warmed saki, delicious. Probably the best Asian restaurant in Plymouth and great for a romantic evening or with friends sitting on the floor!

The best japanese restaurant I have ever been to. Pleasant atmosphere attentive staff and first rate food. BUT the portions are small and you might want to plan to eat again before or after your visit. I think Yukisan is very good. It is sometimes quiet but it deserves to survive and i hope it does.

Fantastic place ! I love sushi and have been here over and over again. Try the wasabi chips too and the noodles are also fantastic. It’s not the best Japanese restaurant in the world but it’s certainly the best Asian restaurant in Plymouth.

Finally. a Japanese restaurant in Plymouth. The service is as you’d expect — fantastic, the staff are immensely helpful and attentive. The food itself is absolutely first class, prepared and presented with the traditional Japanese attention to detail. A little bit pricey but then you pay for what you get these days and if you enjoy good food in a convivial atmosphere in a modern (ish) setting then you won’t be disappointed.

this restaurant is set out so that downstairs is sat to the table dining and upstairs is a traditional dining area where you are able to sit on the floor and eat japanese style. the staff helped me choose the correct dishes to complkiment each other and the food was very tasty. the whole experienc was a refreshing one.

Yummmy! Went last night whlst late night shopping and was not disaappointed. We both had vegetarian food only, which meant that no fish stock was used — the staff were so very helpful and friendly with good suggestions.
We ended up having vegetable tempura, egg sushi, tofu sushi, cucumber and avocado sushi, udon noodles and stir fried vegetables — shared between the two of us, this was just right — very filling and soooo tasty. We also had a pot of green tea which they kept topped up.
We sat in the japanese room but O/​H was a bit uncomfortable until they brought us more cushions — I, on the other hand loved it and felt quite at home with my shoes off and sitting cross legged at the table.
Although it’s quite a trek from Penzance we intend to return next time we’re in Plymouth.

This restaurant delivers top quality food with speed and style. The Japanese food that is served here tastes just like you would experience in the country itself and has for added authenticity you can eat upstairs on the specially designed chairs that allow you to sit on the floor. I would warn that unless you have short legs or are particularly flexible then this may become uncomfortable half way through your meal. Of course if you prefer, there are the traditional western tables and chairs downstairs which give an equally exceptional experience. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone wishing to experience excellent Japanese food.

Japanese style restaurant with a great menu, friendly helpful staff and nice décor. The food is delicious. Caters for vegetarians. The only slight flaw is the floor You can choose to sit downstairs on a table and chair, or if youre feeling more adventurous you can sit upstairs at the little knee high tables. I would recommend it or your first visit but those of us 6 ft and upwards would probably go for the downstairs seating on a second visit.

Japanese style eatery. Fantastic service, Tasty food. Would definitely recommend! Caters for Vegetarians, and the staff give helpful advice on the best things to order from their extensive menu.
My favourite was the vegetarian sushi which was just amazing. Probably one of the nicest things I have ever eaten.
Pricey if you want to leave full but worth it! The best bit is the upstairs area where you can sit on the floor and eat with chopsticks for the full experience.
Good selection on the wine menu. Not cramped at all.
Just dont forget the saki!

I loved it when I went here. The food is amazing. It’s not a place I could afford to visit often, but the quality and the friendly service are excellent. It’s a shame I don’t live nearer. Quickly prepared fresh, clean dishes are delivered beautifully by staff who really seem to care that you leave well fed and happy. Maybe I’m just a sucker for all things japanese (bearded ladies notwithstanding), but if I had the cash. I’d be here all the time.
