An update: Sushi Yachiyo
We last posted about the pending opening of Japanese place, Sushi Yachiyo, back in May 2009.

Well, the location is yet to prove itself un-haunted as we are still waiting for the doors to open for business.

It must be soon though, as I noticed take-away menus affixed to the door, with a voucher for free edamame, when walking past yesterday.

And this morning, a workman was busy inside, before 7am.

We tried it out on Sunday night. Business was looking good, with several tables of Japanese.
We had the (complementary) edamame, agedashi tofu and a mixed sushi/sashimi plate. A great meal.
They are awaiting their liquor licence and we look forward to trying the sake.
Appeared in the SMH’s Good Living today 4/8/09.
Chef Mitsuhiro Yashio told us he worked with the Iron Chef in Japan!

A great little place! Decor and ambiance a little uninspiring but cracking food makes up for that.

Here’s my little review of the food there – such a nice place for a casual meal!
