Yóu Sushi
Yóu Sushi is a Japanese restaurant in Yongkang Village specializing in sushi omakase, where the chef selects the courses. The establishment features counter seating where an itamae prepares each dish in front of about four or five guests, offering a clear view of the cooking process.
The restaurant has established itself as a fixture in the Yongkang area and has expanded to three branches across Taipei. Its consistency and reputation for good quality at fair prices have made it a favorite spot over many years.
The restaurant's name originates from the Japanese word for "yours," reflecting a personal approach to dining. The counter seating arranges guests face-to-face with the itamae, the sushi chef, fostering direct interaction and conversation during the meal.
The restaurant is about 10 minutes walk from Dongmen MRT station and located in a busy neighborhood with many dining choices. It is advisable to make an online reservation, especially during lunch hours, as the place gets quite crowded.
The restaurant employs a distinctive technique where the itamae uses a culinary torch to sear fish parts and top them with ingredients like fish roe and green onion. The visible preparation and the aroma of torched eel create an engaging sensory experience for diners.
