Great from start to finish! There was a short 20 minute wait to eat inside, we mentioned that we would look around at other options and the host offered us a glass of complementary glass of champagne - nice touch and it was the start of a great dining experience. Every dish was excellent, the service was great, and the chefs were fun and high energy. Great place! read more

Bar Yoshi - Awesome kitchen crew - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Went for a last minute, early dinner by the wharf. Originally, we were sat outside but after 10 minutes with no service we decided to go inside and sit at the bar. What a great decision, the bartender acknowledged us immediately and served water quickly. We started with the spring rolls which were crunchy, flaky, & well portioned. Next, we had the dumplings, and they were good. Lastly, we shared the Ichiban roll, most popular according to the bartender. It was great. We were in-and-out in 25 minutes! read more

Of the many meals we enjoyed on island, this may have been the most enjoyable. The location is cozy, waterfront and comfortable. Not nearly as stuffy as other options in the area. The service was prompt and kind, helpful and responsive without being overbearing. The bar manager (Conrad) was kind enough to bring us a sample of their house daiquiri; DELISH!!! We enjoyed a few ice cold Grippah IPA's from the nearby Cisco brewery which complimented the cool, fresh seafood well. We started with the seaweed salad which was garnished with micro-greens and edible flowers. We both love seaweed salad and this offering was exceptionally fresh and the garnish furthered the refreshing nature of the dish. Definitely order this as a compliment to almost any other dish on the menu. With the seaweed salad, we had 4 oysters and 8 clams. All were very good and tasted fresh, though I wish the cocktail has a bit more horseradish for some kick! Overall, very good raw dishes. I would also order the tuna carpaccio/crudo next time, it looked awesome. After our initial orderings, we added 3 sushi rolls and 2 skewers of yakitori. All three rolls were outstanding. The tuna scallion was a notch above the standard tuna roll, a nice though minor improvement to a classic roll. I'd like to think the tuna was at least regionally sourced if not local to the island, however I did not verify the source of the tuna with any of the staff. It was delicious all the same. The Nantucket salmon roll was also very good, it was as fresh as salmon can be on the east coast. The dynamite roll was awesome. The best of the 3 rolls, topped with a spicy sauce. Would highly recommend any of these rolls, others on the menu looked good too. The yakitori was terrific. Both chicken and beef were well cooked with nice texture on the outside and moist, juicy on the inside. We didn't try the shrimp yakitori but I'm sure it's delicious, as well. I will undoubtedly return to Yoshi on future visits to Nantucket and hope them all the best! read more

Nas and Percy rock! Wonderful gentlemen. Wonderful servers. The food here is great. The location and ambiance are exceptional. Highly recommend. Can't wait to come back! read more

Someone already mentioned about the sushi being worse than supermarket sushi- the fish and hard rice were lukewarm! The U8 shrimp at $8 each were the absolute worst seafood we've had anywhere! They were tough, smelled old, and were very unappetizing! Another star knocked off for the unfriendly host. read more

Worst dinner experience on Nantucket. Measly, yet incredibly expensive, bland sushi rolls. The sliced fish was paper thin and translucent. Do not get the rainbow roll, it was absolutely pathetic. And $30. But what made the dinner 1-star (zero stars) was the terrible service we received at the bar. The bartender was rude, aloof, inattentive and dismissive of our concerns. Want some water? Expect an eye roll. She absolutely should not be in a customer service profession. Will not return and forewarn others who are considering going. The ambience and cocktails were fine. read more

Overall our experience at Bar Yoshi was great! The service was good as well as the ambiance. For our appetizers we ordered the crab rangoons and steamed pork dumplings and overall they were good appetizers but the crab rangoons could use more crab filling. For our entrees we ordered the rainbow roll, tempura shrimp and avocado roll, dynamite roll and ichiban roll. The fish was fresh and every roll was tasty. Would definitely come visit again. read more

Loved bar Yoshi! The hostess was super nice and the bartenders were very helpful with giving samples of the wines. We waited at the bar for about 15 minutes (we did not have a reservation and had a party of 8) before we were seated at a table outside. The sushi was just the way I like it and the atmosphere was superb read more

The food was just out of this world. We got the dynamite roll, poke bowl, scallop tacos and wagyu bao buns and everything was a 10/10. Very good food and they made one hell of an espresso martini read more

Worst place ever. We wanted to have a nice sushi dinner at our house on a Friday night. First off, they stop doing takeout at 5 PM and it's only by phone and "limited, first come first serve" So we drove 20 minutes and sat at the bar to make an order and asked to have it boxed up. The bartender told us they wouldn't do takeout and to ask the host stand for a takeout order. The host said sorry we don't do takeout after 5 pm. Unfortunately this place will never receive a dime from me for the rest of my life because they don't care about the customer experience. Not everyone has time to sit at your stupid restaurant and call in an order before 5 pm on a Friday. Terrible customer experience, terrible. read more

Nantucket has two main sushi places. Let's call this the no frills option. Sushi by Yoshi is about as down to earth as a Nantucket sit down place can be. Prices aren't crazy, portions are normal and the food is good. Sushi by yoshi was a great escape from the Nantucket scene. The best roll I had was a sweet potato roll that the waitress recommended we try. Drinks here were beer and wine. Most reasonably priced. read more

Bar Yoshi - All very good and reasonable - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Service nice - pretty decor but seriously disappointed with the fish. Stop and shop Has equal quality. My neighbor commented -Lola has better sushi - was dying to try the updated space but all about sushi and sashimi (which they don't offer but have a few (3) ceviche?? Options!?? Idk-it's an island for god's sake-shouldn't the sushi and sashimi be mind blowing ??? read more

One of the most spectacular meals I have had on island. Second time I have been to this establishment and I will definitely be going again before I leave. We went around lunchtime during the dead period so the service was quick and the place was not relatively busy. Our server, Conrad (who I believe is the manager) was excellent and was very welcoming and accommodating to any questions. The space inside is beautifully decorated and had great natural lighting. On the day we went, the specials were a scallion pancake topped with smoked salmon and calamari, both of which we got. We also ordered a shrimp tempura avocado roll and a salmon poke bowl. Scallion pancake (9/10) - Not sure the smoked salmon paired perfectly, but it was fantastic nonetheless. Not quite as good as Nautilus' scallion pancakes if you are looking for something truly amazing. Calamari (11/10) - Now, I am not sure if they offer this every day but if they don't, they should. This has got to be the best calamari I have had in my whole life. When it came, it looked a little inconspicuous and not like your typical calamari you would get - but boy was it good. My sister and I both looked at each other with wide eyes after trying it because it was just that good. This is a must have if it is available the day you go. Shrimp avo roll (7/10) - A little bland and pricy but I think the same can be said for everything on Nantucket... Liked the sauce on top Poke bowl (7.5/10) - Best (and basically only) place to get poke on island. The rice was well seasoned and the bowl had a good amount of toppings. Wide variety in choices for proteins. Salmon was great. Additionally, they timed the courses very well. A lot of time on island there will be a large lapse between the starters and the main course but the staff did a great job firing the main course after we finished the starters. I would recommend going not at peak times to get the best service. Shoutout Luna, our amazing back server! read more

We stopped in during COVID on a sunny Sunday afternoon in early September. We were immediately greeted by a young man and seated for lunch outdoors. The server was very polite and nice and took our order right away. We ordered the edamame, shrimp shumai, tuna ceviche, tuna and scallion roll and the tuna tempura roll. The food was delicious! We loved the sushi and everything seemed very fresh. My only note would be that the ceviche was served with a side of what looked like supermarket cheap tortilla chips, which seemed odd and kind of ruined the presentation. Other than that, everything was very good. I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about the service and ownership; we did not encounter any issues at all in that area. I would recommend for sushi and a delicious lunch spot! read more

People said in some of their reviews that this place was a 1-star restaurant because of a rude manager and poor performance in the food department, but actually it's not that bad. There wasn't even a rude manager... Our waiter was a really nice young man who checked on us often about the food and more water. For the food, I didn't mind at all! It wasn't low-cooked or over-cooked. It tasted pretty good for a Japanese Restaurant on an island. I gave it a 4-star only because the food was expensive. In NYC, the same thing I ordered (the Tokyo Ramen itself was $22) probably would have cost only $12. read more

What a special place! I had an outstanding dinner. I was warmly greeted and seated at a table by the window. The location on the water was beautiful, and my server Mack was exceptional. I wanted something different than I would ordinarily order, and his recommendations were spot-on. The food was delicious. Because everything came together perfectly, this was my favorite restaurant during my week on Nantucket. Go- you won't be disappointed. read more

I went to bar Yoshi tonight for dinner and I was alone with my small dog and have never felt more welcomed! The young professional hostesses knew exactly how to manage my seating with the addition of my dog and make sure we were comfortable and the other guests were comfortable as well. Food is amazing as always, and the service and the drinks are equally great! I highly recommend this place. read more

Amazing food. Great waiter. Loved the piggy rice, dumplings and sushi rolls. I gave it a 4 because it's expensive but I know the real estate is high and it is Nantucket! Wait staff was great. I'll be back read more

Sat inside with a reservation and had such inattentive staff. Drove in ready to take an Uber home and couldn't even get drinks. Vegetable spring rolls were good, dumplings were cold (unsure if that's planned). The chicken stir fry previously on the menu was the reason I came, but it's not there :( read more

We didn't meet the angry guy but he should chill because his product is fantastic. We ate all the best items and I have eaten lots of meals on island and this was cheap and fantastic. Don't be disturbed by the scary guy - didn't meet him and had a fantastic meal read more

Incredible sushi every time! It's on Old south wharf, a shelled street right off of the harbor. It is a very cool location and a great place to sit outside on a nice day. We dine there often. read more

Stopped in at 0'bar for a drink before dinner....super nice, quaint, on the water vibe (even though you are inside!). Bartender was very attentive even though we were not seated at the bar! Loved this atmosphere! read more

Always consistent. The Piggy rice is an all time favorite. Great go to restaurant for a casual meal on the wharf

Food is delicious; bartender is awesome; front of the house is arrogant and very attitudinal: we attempted to make a reservation via Resy which kept sending us error messages; when we attempted to call we were given a number to text so we texted and also left a voicemail neither of which was answered. When we showed up there was a lot of posturing and we were told only the bar was available even though there were seven (!) tables empty which remained empty the entire time we were there. read more

Great place with a fab location (moved from previous village locale) on wharf, but the chef is the reason for 5 stars! He's talented and incredibly accommodating, food is fresh and delicious! Bar Yoshi is totally worth the visit to the wharf and 5 stars! read more

Overall disappointing. The restaurant is not adequately staffed leaving literally 24 dining patrons to one server. In addition the server is also working the take out counter. So don't expect any service aside from the bare minimum. The sashimi was of poor quality and the cut was even worse. These were not sashimi cuts - let's be clear. Thin, flavorless fish - some pieces still inter-connecting leading me to believe "Yoshi" wasn't in he kitchen as these knife skills were non existent. The shrimp tempura roll was easily 7:1 rice to shrimp and also lacked any real flavor. Lastly and I credit the lack of staffing, the cleanliness has a lot to be desired. Your soy sauce on the table will have a residual stain on the top - it likely hasn't been cleaned this summer. read more

Bar Yoshi - This would be great if I ordered a rice roll. I did not. The rice to shrimp consistently was poorly executed. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Nantucket, Massachusetts

Bar Yoshi's food used to be great, but the staff is generally rude. The staff proceeded to have an attitude throughout our entire meal. The manager was very inappropriate as well. When I inquired about the fee, she asked me about my morals! Disgusting! The restaurant also charges fees without informing their customers. The place is nice but Isn't worth being mistreated for. read more

For some reason, whenever I'm near the water and amidst a sea (no pun intended) of lobster/mussel/oyster spots, I've never really stopped to consider sushi. Sushi by Yoshi is a nice, cozy restaurant near the docks, and their fish was fresh an generously cut. Specialty rolls weren't really that creative compared to spots I frequent in NY, but I guess they're going for the "purist" clientele. Seating is limited (expect a wait during peak season/times) and it's BYOB, so if you're drinking, put your name in and then grab some cold ones to bring back! Food was good, and this place is definitely worth your time if you're in Nantucket and want a change of pace from all of the New England lobster bakes! read more

Bar yoshi was excellent! Great food and service and very good vegetarian options. We loved the poke bowl and udon noodles.

We recently traveled to the Island of Nantucket and upon leaving the ferry, we we're walking towards town and spotted a Sushi Restaurant call Bar Yoshi. We decided to stop in and we were so glad we did. Since Sushi and Sashimi dishes are one of our favorite foods, we know quality when we see and taste it. Bar Yoshi delivered above and beyond what we expected. Great dishes, fresh and tasty with their own take on flavor. Servers were friendly and accommodating and the decor was exactly what you'd expect for a dockside restaurant, comfortable seating with an outstanding view of the boats I also found out later that their Sushi chef was the old Miya's Sushi Chef. Anyone who has eaten at Miya's in the past will absolutely love Bar Yoshi. I have only one regret, which is I didn't have time to have a drink at their new Raw Bar, O Bar, which is directly across from Bar Yoshi. Oh Yes, I forgot to mention their crafted drinks are in incredible also. read more

The food is so good but the blonde manager was really rude and had a horrible attitude which kind of ruined the experience.

A fun Asian/sushi restaurant in Nantucket. Food is good not great, servers are professional and attentive, and the atmosphere is fun. Sushi rolls and sushi/sashimi were fine and we tried a pile of appetizers between the six of us. We paid about $65 a person all in which is reasonably priced for dinner in Nantucket in season. read more

I've been to Bar Yoshi several times and consider it to be one of my favorite restaurants. You immediately get that Nantucket feel as soon as you walk in the door.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Nantucket. While visiting the island we were lucky enough to find a little hidden gem. Bar Yoshi. The owner Terry and his wife Sheri made our experience simply unforgettable. I can not say enough about the quality of food, drinks ,service and ambiance.

What a surprise finding Bar Yoshi right on the dock when we arrived on Nantucket! Our servers and bartender in particular were awesome! The food was phenomenal and so we're their craft cocktails ! Can't wait to to get back there for our anniversary in September. We'll have to try their other place of business across the dock, O Bar. If it's anything like Bar Yoshi it's going to be awesome! read more
