At Yen Sushi & Sake Bar in Los Angeles, the menu offers an exquisite journey through Japanese cuisine, featuring a wide array of flavors that cater to all tastes. As an avid reviewer, I was particularly impressed by the vibrant selection of appetizers, such as the Original Edamame, which perfectly balances simplicity and flavor, and the Spicy Garlic Edamame for those craving a zesty twist. For a crispy start, the Fried Gyoza and Baked Mussel are must-tries, each bringing a satisfying crunch and a burst of umami.
The salad options are fresh and delightful, with the Spicy Tuna Salad and Spicy Salmon Salad standing out for their perfect blend of heat and freshness, while the Mixed Seafood Salad offers a refreshing and light contrast, ideal for seafood lovers. For a unique option, the Seaweed Only Salad brings a taste of the ocean in a light, tangy dressing.
Soup lovers will appreciate the warm, comforting Miso Soup, which serves as a perfect complement to the meal.
When it comes to mains, the Teriyaki Chicken Breast is a classic, with its tender texture and savory glaze, while the Chilean Sea Bass offers a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth experience. If you’re craving something more hearty, the Chicken and Beef Bowls are packed with flavor, and the variety of Yaki Udon noodles, from Chicken to Beef, guarantees a satisfying dish for all noodle fans.
Don’t forget to try the Tempura Rolls, especially the Spicy Tuna Tempura Roll or the Shrimp Tempura Roll, which are crispy on the outside while rich and flavorful on the inside. For something a bit more decadent, the Baked Salmon Roll and the Rattle Snake Roll are excellent choices.
Yen Sushi & Sake Bar’s menu blends traditional favorites with creative twists, offering everything from fresh sushi and sashimi to unique chef's specials, ensuring every dining experience is both exciting and satisfying.
