I have wanted to
write about Yo Eastern Fusion for ages now as we go there all the time! This is
by far our favourite sushi spot! I have never been a fan of sushi buffets or
all you can eat as with buffet the sushi isn’t always the freshest and with all
you can eat you always end up eating too much and then feeling sick. Also one
of my favourite sushi items is seared tuna sashimi and I am yet to come across
a buffet or all you can eat that includes sashimi.
This restaurant
initially started out in Melkbosstrand right on the beach. That is where we
discovered it. Then they sold it and moved to the little Woolworths centre in
Sunset Beach. So we continued supporting them at their new location. Not only
is their sushi the best value for money you will find anywhere, but their
normal noodle/rice meals are also really good. I am yet to have a bad meal
there. They continued to open a branch in Plattekloof as well, which we have
only visited once to see what it was like. A few years ago when Eden on the Bay
reared its head they opened a restaurant there too. I must say in the beginning
while the Eden on the Bay branch was still finding their feet the service there
was shocking and they often didn’t have tuna so we stopped going there for a
while. In the mean time they have improved and we now go there most of the time
as oppose to going to their Sunset Beach branch.
This past Sunday we went to Yo Eastern Fusion
again. When we crave sushi there isn’t even a question as to where we will go,
except maybe on some Sundays when Beluga creeps in as an option. That’s also
only when we don’t mind a bit of as drive. Being so used to the value of money
at this place, Beluga only becomes worthwhile to me when they have their half price
sushi special. I will never go eat sushi at Beluga when it is at full price.
We were starving
when we got there so we immediately ordered a Prawn, crab stick and avocado salad to start with. Sometimes they
add too much mayo for my liking, so we always ask for it on the side just in case.
This particular day the salad took a bit longer than usual, but it was delicious
as always.
For mains we had Salmon
Sashimi, Seared Tuna Sashimi, Salmon Roses, Prawn Fashion Sandwiches and Tuna California rolls. They also have the
best Prawn Tempura Rolls. Once again we weren’t disappointed. The sushi was
extremely fresh and wasn’t left standing after being plated as the Seared Tuna
Sashimi was still slightly warm. Accompanied with a bottle of Kleine Zalze Bush Vine Chenin Blanc I could
not imagine a better way to spend the last bit of your Sunday afternoon. Of
course we will be back there again and again for plenty more delicious sushi
experiences!!
Yours in fun
& sushi,
