I love this unassuming Asian fusion restaurant right off the highway in Nashua. I had the bibimbop with beef and it was very good, the crunchy rice at the bottom was a little burnt. The Red Sox roll was the best roll I've ever had at any restaurant with the crunchy tempura was so good.

I've been going here for a few months now and just wanted to say what a wonderful experience it is each time. The food is phenomenal and service is top notch. If you are looking for exquisite Japanese cuisine or delicious sushi look no further! They have a wonderful bar and beautiful dining area. Check them out for lunch soon and try the Red Sox roll.

YouYou Japanese Bistro is somewhat of a hidden gem, tucked away at the back of a mid-size plaza just off Broad Street in Nashua. On a couple of recent visits I came away thoroughly impressed. The first visit was solo, and I sat at the sushi bar. The next visit, with a couple friends, we sat at a high top in the main bar as you walk in. Both times felt very welcoming, and the atmosphere was buzzing with a near full house. The servers were very friendly and helpful; food and drinks were presented quite promptly. The Mai Tais are excellent here. For the first visit, I had an outstandingly fresh Sashimi Sampler For One, along with the Roast Pork Ramen which was quite flavorful; well balanced and not too salty. For the second visit, I had the excellent Seafood Diablo. Many plates labeled Diablo (“devil”) are somewhat spicy, but the use of apricot in this particular dish renders it a bit on the sweet side; nothing devilish about it, and that’s just fine as I thoroughly enjoyed this meal. I also gave the Tempura Oysters a try but found them to be a bit meh with very little oyster taste; mushy inside and crunchy tempura outside. There are a couple of Designer Rolls that are not on the menu, but were suggested by a server. Of these, I went with the outstanding Austin Roll as I tend to gravitate toward anything that contains mango. This one is a beauty topped in a layer of avocado and a slice of jalapeno. The menu here is amazingly diverse. Highly recommended.

As always, this restaurant leaves me with good experiences. The ambience is lovely and the staff is friendly. When it gets busy I don’t blame them but they tend to take a little longer than most places. The sushi uses fresh ingredients and the portion is correct. The chicken teriyaki is always on point. I would recommend this place for any occasion and would always come back again.

Always great food with many choices on the menu. Our server Maya was very attentive and accommodating. Tempura shrimp was delish as were the oysters.
