Sushi Yoshitake was a huge disappointment. I first visited in June of 2015 and had the best meal of my life. In July 2019 I went again and was stuck at the second bar with a junior sushi chef without my consent. The quality was...much lower - not much better than places in Seattle. The sushi rice fell apart and the fish was too cold. It was a waste of money.More

We are talking about the best of the very best in a city like Tokyo where food is done well pretty much every where. 3 michelin stars and only 11 seats (7 + 4 in a separate room). we had the pleasure to be in...the smaller one and be served by Yoshitake senior sous chef. Someone might thinks that was ' only sushi ' but definately was not! 25 courses including some traditional japanese dishes and of course plenty of suhi and sahimi Negative: the entrance is litterally in a office building not very appealing/cleanMore

We were fortunate to be able to dine at this wonderful restaurant. The sushi was amazing and the chef was a true gentleman. We speak no Japanese, but they did their best to communicate. The quality of our food was amazing and it was a...memorable meal. We were at Sukiyabashi Jiro the night before. The food was equally good, but the experience was more relaxed and enjoyable. We were very thankful to the Tokyo Station Hotel for getting us this reservation.More

Food was outstanding with excellent preparation. Highly recommended. Our private tour guide recommended this longstanding restaurant in the heart of Tokyo.

after visiting sushi shikon in hong kong we were happy to be able to dine at sushi yoshitake. the high expectations were fulfilled and the evening was funny in the end as some guests and the chef were smart entertainers. beautiful new location.

For those who wonder whether 3 michelin star sushi is significantly better than one or two star sushi, this is purely subjective and one that I cannot answer. I have eaten at a number of two star sushi restaurants in Tokyo and Yoshitake is certainly...better than most of them and just as enjoyable as Sushi Sawada. Stand out dishes were Abalone with liver sauce and Tamago - definitely the best examples that I have tried. The seasoning of the rice was truly outstanding and the entire experience was enjoyable, from start to finish. If you can get a reservation, I can whole heartedly recommend it. It would certainly help if you could have a Japanese speaker with you (which I did), but not essential.More

First of all, I apologise for not showing pictures because the chef did not allow us to take pictures of the food. However, the experience was wondrous. The food was perfect. The abalone with liver sauce, uni sushi, tuna sushi, charcoal grilled eel and grilled...rock fish were the highlight of our course. The miso soup at the end was also nice with a yuzu scent. Overall, the chef took care of us very well. Great night.More

On our recent vacation to Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, Kanazawa, and Matsumoto, we had the opportunity to try many different restaurants. First, as a recent reviewer mentioned below, taxis might struggle finding this place. The Conrad "made sure" the taxi driver knew where we were going,...but the taxi driver still struggled. Then he just dropped us off without really telling us where the restaurant was. We asked some people on the street, and they searched it on their phones, but unfortunately they sent us walking 10 minutes in the wrong direction. Instead of being a few minutes early, we were 20 minutes late. Obviously, it's our fault. We apologized profusely, the best we could in English since we didn't speak Japanese. But the Chef really wasn't interested in our apologies. Again, we know it was "our fault". So we missed a few of the courses. No problem. But for the remainder of the night, we were served mostly by his assistant. And if he did serve us on occasion, he wasn't very friendly. We could only say sorry, and oishi so many times. But it seemed to do no good. Which then of course ruined our entire dining experience when it's such an intimate room (there were 8 diners that night). The Chef also retaliated and wouldn't let me take pictures. Again, since I've seen videos of meals and pictures posted online by many diners, it was disappointing he would "punish" us for being late. Yes, we enjoyed trying all the different food. We are quite adventurous eaters. But the dining experience was ruined because we were late. Shout out to Mieko at the Conrad Tokyo for getting us reservations here ad at Ryugin and Ginza Hirayama, just to name a few). We had to apologize to her and have her call to explain to the restaurant why we were late. We didn't want to damage her and the Conrad's reputation with the restaurant. But honestly, if it's more about the Chef than anything else, well... it's hard to recommend the place. So...we would never go back. But... we wouldn't blame you for wanting to trying it if you've never tried it! Hence the 3 star rating. Just don't be late! You might end up getting punished for it the entire meal and having a terrible time!More

The kind of experience that you live once in your life. You have to go through the difficulty to get a seat in a seven seatings restaurant which offers only 2 services, then find the place (the taxi struggled) and then you are in sushi...heaven. The absolute perfection, a sublime journey.More

Our guide is surprised how we could get a booking at the Chef Table. Well, A Very Big "Thank You" to Peninsula Hotel for make this exceptional culinary experience possible. We were there 15 minutes before our appointed time. Be on time not earlier or...later. There is no waiting area, so we need to explore the surrounding area until the appointed time. That night, only 7 diners. Chef Masahiro Yoshitake is quite friendly. He can only speaks very simple English. Warning, do not place your mobile phone on the table and no Video. Photo is ok. No menu, just Omakase but we were provide with simple list in english of what to expect that night. Its always enjoy watching the chef preparing your food and hand it to you immediately he finished preparing it. The food, is undoubtedly, fresh and delicious. I was too engrossed in the food to take much photos. Observing the skills in preparations, the knife skills in slicing, the mastery in making the sushi makes the dinner more enjoyable. It will be better if I could understand and speaks Japanese to converse with the chef. A must do if you have the opportunity. Book months ahead. Highly recommend it.More

We had dinner at Yoshitake on our second night in Tokyo while staying at the Prince Gallery. It was sublime. Despite the chef and his team speaking little English, they still made attempts to communicate, even using Google translate. Everyone was super friendly and even...a few of the other Japanese patrons (we were the only Anglos) engaged us a bit. The food was spectacular. Some of the best sushi we've ever had, including some that I normally despise. I ate a raw oyster for the first time in almost 35 years--and loved it. I usually despise oysters in any form. I wanted more, it was so good. Even the uni was delicious, and I normally despise that. Everything was beautifully presented and spectacularly good. Oi-shi, indeed! Su-goi, too! We highly recommend Yoshitake if you can get the booking. Don't ask--just go. This was one of our 4 most memorable meals in Japan--which is saying something, as we had a total of 21 Michelin stars in our 2 weeks! Our other faves included Narisawa in Tokyo, Kitcho in Kyoto, and the food/presentation (but not the service) at Hajime in Osaka.More

Continuing to win six Michelin stars, the master sushi chef Mr Yoshitake is a legendary! So many appetizers makes one so happy. Better to book thru hotel concierge. Definitely the best is Ginza, Tokyo, Japan and this planet!! ミシュラン6つ星シェフの吉武さんの寿司は芸術の域を越えてます。握り前に頂く品々でノックダウン。最高の職人技に誰もが満足することでしょう。
