Yanagi Bistro is my sushi haunt of choice on the weekends because of its good sushi and convenient location right off the PCH. I've been coming here for about 6 months now, and service has improved. It seems there's been a turnover in servers. Good amount of convenient parking. You are greeted by the sushi chefs upon arrival. The booths are nice and large. This place gets packed on a Saturday around 12. Good pot stickers, good shrimp tempura and good deals on the lunch specials (you can order 2 or 3 item 'boxes' which come with salad, miso, rice, and amazing cucumber salad too). My favorite roll here is the shrimp tempura roll. It sounds very simple and it is, but what puts it over the top is the 'yummy' and eel sauce that is drizzled over it. Wow, amazing flavor and it's also on the happy hour menu. My spouse and I finally just started ordering one for each of us since it's so tasty. My other favorite is the spicy scallop hand roll. I could eat at least five of them they are so tasty. Ok I have to talk about the salad that comes with the lunch special. The salad dressing is addicting. It is just delicious and the perfect thing to have just before the meal along with the miso. They have a diverse sushi roll menu, all sorts of 'fusion' and Yanagi special rolls. I've tried a few and found them tasty but very filling. The chefs are on top of it; rolls are served quickly.
