"We came here as a small group for dinner having read very good reviews. Unfortunately the meal was terribly disappointing across many fronts and as such I cannot recommend Restaurant Yoshino to anyone. Firstly, the food was substandard with many better Japanese options nearby. The sushi has meagre amounts of fish and is of poor quality the slightly greying and flavourless tuna sashimi was so thinly sliced that it was basically carpaccio. To say that the fish was practically translucent is not an understatement. Secondly, wagyu motsu ni (a soup made with various wagyu cuts is in fact entirely based on tripe. Now I do not mind tripe at all, however a part from the fact that it was not a particularly pleasant tasting dish, I think that the menu description is misleading and can imagine that other patrons may be left disappointed by having innards served without warning. Thirdly, while the grilled short rib was tasty, the grilled wagyu tongue was horrible. Tongue is meant to be a flavoursome cut, however in this particular case there was a peculiar after taste. Furthermore, although not known to be a tender cut, in this case the meat was so tough that it could only be swallowed in one single piece! Fourthly, service was poor as there was one waiter for the upper floor. Menu items that were ordered were not delivered. One positive was that the homemade curry rice was tasty. In summary, poor quality food and sushi, not worthy of the high prices."
