Here’s what one customer says about Yuji Modern Japanese:
You can tell as soon as you walk in how much time and care they put into the atmosphere, the service, and the food. Everyone was so kind, kept us entertained, and very attentive.
The yellowtail and Kyoto yuji was by far our favorite item from the menu and we finished off with the miso flan which they brûlée at the table. Super cool experience.
