Yugen Cuisine - South Lake Tahoe

Customer service was poor. Ordered takeout and was told it would be a 35 minute wait. Arrived on time, paid, and sat around waiting another 30 minutes for the food (a small order of 3 menu items). Asked to have money refunded and was repeatedly told they are working on it. Also charged a 7% Takeout Fee which I 've never seen anywhere else I 've ordered food. Sashimi was also not cut properly. If you 're visiting Tahoe and looking for sushi, I 'd recommend somewhere else.

They serve all table orders of sushi on the sushi boat! Veggie rolls are kept separate from the fish rolls on a separate serving dish. Vegan Poke is a lovely fresh taste but do know there is a haystack of spiraled radishes underneath which are still tasty I was just surprised by them. My two veggie rolls were good but missing the it factor. My friends deeply enjoyed their fish rolls. One said there was too much rice paired with her salmon nigiri. She said the salmon was some of the best shenanigans had but the rice was taking too much away from it. We would all happily eat here again.

The salmon and Hamachi were fresh and tasty... The tuna was not. The cooked Hamachi Kama (jaw) that they included in my sashimi plate, as a gift for a long wait, was very good. The servers are young, attractive, capable, and chatty, but I had to chase mine down to get a drink refill, and it feels a bit like social hour rather than a professional restaurant. Still, I came away in a pleasant mood and enjoyed the outside table.

Very busy place when I went for dinner with my family. I ordered their largest sashimi platter and requested extra salmon because my son likes only that. I was shocked when they served thinly sliced pieces of fish the kind that is served on top of rolls and not nice cut fish, if you just like Japanese food then it's okay to go here. If you're really going to enjoy sushi I would never recommend this place.

This place is AMAZING! The furniture outside and inside are very clean. The food s portion is quite big but really yummy! The service is kind, fast, and respectful. Overall this is definitely one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve been in years! ?
