Yellowtail Sushi Bar & Asian Kitchen sits at Briar and Broadway in Lakeview, a short walk from the Belmont L stop. The menu moves between Japanese classics and more inventive plates for adventurous eaters, all built on a house-made soy sauce that shows up across the table. The room aims for a casual-but-refined feel rather than a formal sushi-counter experience. Regulars point to generous portions, fair pricing, and fish that holds up against pricier spots around the city, though quality control gets mentioned as an occasional inconsistency.
