The service is always great and staff are always super friendly! My husband and I always order the “please name me” sushi roll for a starter and then he has the wagyu cashew noodles and I order like 5 portions of dim sum in various flavours😁 the food is ALWAYS amazing and the combination of flavours is so unique, you cannot find it anywhere else, and we’ve definitely tried! Thanks to Yamitsuki for being our favourite date night spot!

The perfect Asian dining experience
The mesmerizing display of skill by the teppanyaki chefs made this night a memorable one.
I highly recommend the rock shrimp tempura. One of the most delicious things I've ever eaten.
Definitely worth a second visit.

I recently visited Yamitsuki in Bedfordview. Yamitsuki is a Japanese restaurant boasting great sushi, noodles, teppanyaki and dim sum. Having heard only good things about this restaurant, I decided to make a booking and pay them a visit. Upon our arrival we were seated at the teppanyaki grill which, I must say having recently visited Kobe, Kyoto and Tokyo, is a very authentic set up. My benedict and I started with some cocktails. Yamitsuki certainly serves an extensive and very impressive list of cocktails. I opted for the pink sling; a delicious and refreshing concoction of gin, watermelon, grapefruit, strawberry extract and cranberry juice. My benedict went for the smoking sundried orange and rosemary G & T. We then started with the complimentary chicken pot stickers (and I was just recently on the hunt for some great gyoza). The dumplings were prepared with chicken, coriander and cashew nuts and then cooked on the teppanyaki grill right in front of us. These were a lovely little treat for the taste buds. Since we wanted to try a variety of dishes from Yamitsuki, my benedict and I shared the rump teppanyaki along with some egg fried rice and bok choy in a ponzu sauce. The rump was perfectly cooked full of that amazing teppanyaki grilled flavour. This was a truly well executed and authentic Japanese dish. We also ordered the BBQ pork dim sum which was another great choice. Our waiter recommended we also try the Yamitsuki sushi so we tried the OMG roll (apparently named after the patrons’ reaction when eating this sushi ;-)) and some salmon fashion sandwiches. The sushi too was really impressive and Yamitsuki have a great sushi bar as an alternative seating option. For dessert we had the popping fried ice cream and orea dish. While not necessarily an authentic dish of Japan, I’m pretty sure that any respectable Japanese foodie will rave about this dessert. I really loved this dessert.

We visited Yamitsuki on a busy Saturday evening. Based on the Zomato reviews we knew that booking a table was essential. All tables are outside unless you want to sit on the sushi or teppenyaki bar. Luckily there are heaters outside so the cold doesn’t really matter.
The staff are friendly and attentive. We were welcomed with a sorbet palate cleanser and thereafter ordered our drinks and food.

We had two different sushi rolls. The Philadelphia roll and the spicy tuna roll. Both were great but we enjoyed the Philadelphia roll better. For mains we shared the ribeye teppenyaki. It was very tasty but some pieces were more dry and not as tender as other. We guessed that maybe some of the pieces weren’t actually ribeye and rather rump or something similar. We felt that this was a small issue and not worth complaining about. Overall the dish was nice, nothing spectacular but was tasty and different compared to a usual steak.

The desserts were very rich and we would have definitely enjoyed it more if we weren’t already pretty full. The caramel mousse tasted a lot like condensed milk mixed with some caramel. Nothing too special but it was enjoyable. The cheesecake was very rich. We would have preferred the marshmallows being tempura rather than the entire cheesecake. We ended up eating the cheesecake without the batter.

Overall it was a good experience and would recommend it.

What a wonderful experience. A great place to celebrate your birthday as they go above and beyond to make it really special. The cocktails are presented beautifully with lots of theatrics and sitting at the teppenyaki grill is also entertainment in itself. The food is out of this world (best egg fried rice I've ever had, hands down) and they also have plenty of options on the menu. I will go back again and again and again.

Man oh man was I blown away by this place. Warm greetings from the staff and we were promptly seated. Huge variety of drinks to choose from. We had a couple of cocktails before moving to some beers. Offered a lemon sorbet palate cleanser as soon as seated as well as some chicken potstickers (soooo good that we ordered mains as well). Cocktails we had the blue kamikaze, cherry blossom G&T as well as the cosmo kiss for 2. Tried out the salmon popper sushi (beautiful), prawn tempura, chicken potsticker cashew nut and tomahawk ribeye(perfectly cooked and a must have with their signature sauce) and the best egg fried rice i have ever had. Our waitress Sinky was very attentive and made sure we were well looked after and our chef was also very friendly and on point. Will highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning in the near future. A little bit pricey but worth every cent!

Very high-end experience, I was welcomed with lemon sorbet palate cleansers upon arrival. Extreme variety of unique cocktails that are an experience on their own. Food presentation is next level and of a high quality. This is definitely a place to go to if you want to take your sushi experience to another level. It is more on the expensive side, but I feel it is worth it. The food is very high quality and the experience is worth the visit.

I have been there 3 times since January! Every single time the food is absolutely incredible, the waiters and chefs are always so friendly and accommodating and I am able try something new dishes without the worry of if I would like it or not. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. It is worth the 45 minute drive for me!
