In Short – A menu-bearing hostess invites Third Street Promenade shoppers to have a seat at one of the many sidewalk tables at this bustling Chinese restaurant and sushi bar. Beyond the glass doors is the spacious main dining room where families order dishes like kung pao chicken, lo mein and mushu among vaulted ceilings and colorful walls. Beyond the narrow kitchen hall is a smaller room and the sushi bar, which is the only spot where sushi can be had at half-price. – – Hits: The location--smack dab in the center of Third Street Promenade-can't be beat. – –…

Cheap sushi on the promenade
by AngelaKP at Citysearch
I always stop at Yangtze whenever I'm at the 3rd st. promenade. If you sit at the sushi bar, most rolls are half price. Every tastes great and the staff is very attentive.

Fresh fish served by attentive waiting staff
by doll83 at Citysearch
I have been there with a Sushi-maven and in his opinion the fish was
exceptionally fresh. The inventive sushi creations were sublime--tender
taste, though a firm texture. Ginger and water was served by attentive service
as much as we liked alongside. A versed servant told us that "Yangatze"
is the name of a river in China. There was also a discount on our meal for
eating at the bar.
- Pros: Food, service
- Cons: Ambience, decoration

OK sushi for people who don't know any better
by marpop at Citysearch
A few weeks ago my fiance & I were looking for a quick bite before a movie and decided to give this place a try -- we figured it couldn't be that bad if they got an "A" grade and we were really in the mood for sushi. This place is huge -- we walked past the front outdoor patio and then thru the main dining area before being led to another eating area and then the far-back sushi bar (we later learned that sushi is 1/2 off when you eat at the sushi bar and good thing we did cos it totally was not worth full price). The fish was fresh but certainly far from the most buttery, flavorful sushi i've had -- the albacore nigiri was pretty tasteless and looked really boring -- no scallions, no nothing to make it look somewhat artful. The rainbow roll and shrimp tempura rolls were OK but nothing to write home about. I think what i remember most about that place is the customers next to us who kept sucking on their teeth -- when the clientele is gross, it kinda ruins the whole experience. Needless to say, we won't be back.
- Pros: Located on the Promenade
- Cons: Pretty much everything else
