I'm not sure if the last user went to the same Yamaguchi. I've frequented the restaurant for years & I have never seen a fish tank. Besides, even if it were the same restaurant, Japanese food is notorious for not travelling well, thus take outs will never taste as good as when you're sitting there. Given that, all take outs I've had have been fine & quite tasty. The sushi is some of the best you can get, prepared by NY Times, NY Post & otherwise acclaimed sushi chief Hiyao Yamaguchi, and it is always fresh. Try the fatty tuna roll. The cooked food also holds up well, eschewing the false fusion style of many other Japanese places & going with real, traditional Japanese food. Try the sukiyaki, a brew of beef, noodles, tofu, carrots and more. Expensive, but if you or your taste buds know good Japanese food you won't regret it.
Pros: Great Japanese food, good service
Cons: A bit expenseive
