What people say, in short
Yoshino is frequently placed among New York's leading high-end sushi counters. One visitor praises an entertaining meal with excellent sushi, while another finds the room warm and enjoyable and particularly likes the small plates. The premium divides diners: some regard it as money well spent, while others feel the improvement over cheaper omakase does not justify the cost. Its strong reputation is not unanimous agreement on value.
