In the mood for sushi one night and encouraged by the positive reviews on City Search, a friend and I decided to give Yae Sushi a try. We had seen it before but never tried it, and it looked like a quaint little hole-in-the-wall type place, so we figured it might be an undiscovered gem (as it is often the case for small, overlooked restaurants). Perusing the menu, we noted that the prices for sushi were inexpensive ($6-$10 per roll), and while it is not always true that you get what you pay, in this case it is. The fried tofu appetizer was bland, the sushi rolls were bland (california rolls made with imitation crab meat sticks? I could have made that at home), and to say my nigiri sake (salmon) was sub-par would be to put it nicely. If you're looking to pay money to be served browning fish meat, please, give Yae Sushi a try. I would have sent it back to the kitchen but our waitress never checked on us. As if the food and service wasn't bad enough, we had to wait 10 minutes for the bill - even after notifying who presumably was the owner of the restaurant. This would have been pardonable if the place had been crowded or busy, but it wasn't. There was only 1 or 2 other tables, and if you've got time to tidy up tables, fold napkins, and do other busy work, I think it's safe to say you've probably got enough time to at least check on your customers. In short, Yae Sushi is inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. In all honesty, if you're a sushi fan, you're better off going to Publix for a pre-made refrigerated platter of sushi than go to Yae Sushi. Bad food; bad service; won't ever go back there again; and I would only recommend this place to my enemies. Those people who are leaving reviews for Yae Sushi saying it's the "best sushi in town" and the like, you guys don't know what good sushi is.
Pros: close to home, not crowded (I know why now)
Cons: food, service
