I love Yanagi's and crave this place often! When I worked nearby I called it "Sushi Friday" because I was a regular every single Friday for lunch! I live in Santa Maria now and when I'm in SLO I make my plans to include eating lunch there every time. I've been eating sushi for at least 25 years or so... More

Yanagi is so good they opened 4 in our area! Santa Maria, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach (2) and San Luis Obispo. From luncheon specials to "The Heart Attack", are my favorites. Go early to get a seat!

This is a fun and quality Japanese place with teppan, nigiri and rolls. It's a party place with a lot of noise and activity, so don't plan on an intimate night out. The food is always perfect. Seriously perfect.

My wife's family live in the neighborhood and regularly visit this restaurant. Sushi is not my thing but the family state their sushi and other food is very good. I had the breaded pork loin and it was very good. The service was also very good. If sushi and good service is your thing, I would recommend this restaurant based... More

The service is kind as expected in any kind of japanese restaurant. The mix of Japanese and Korean food gives you the opportunity to choose a light or hot food. The sushi are more likely the American (Californian) style. Mixing avocados, fruits or mayonnaise. I am planning to come back and try the Korean food too.

For some reason, Thursday nights feel like beer and sushi nights! So the husband and I filled up at Yanagi. Since our last visit a couple months ago, they've added a little patio area on the outside of the restaurant...and added some Korean stone bowl dishes to the menu! My husband got the BBQ Beef. It had a slight sweetness... More

Excellent food and service. In a strip shopping center, but near a residential neighborhood. Popular with students and locals.

This restaurant was great when it opened years ago. After being over-charged one too many times we stopped going because although we are very loyal to good places and people, we hate being taken advantage of. I tried it again with my son and found it to be just as it was the last time my husband and I were... More
