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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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. The staff was very professional and efficient, the food was prepared perfectly and was almost too pretty to eat. Thank you Bar Yoshi, once again, for making my Nantucket visit memorable. read more

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. This is a must try for anyone looking for the freshest sushi on Nantucket. Thank you to both Terry and Sheri for taking such great care of us. read more

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

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

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

This place was amazing!!!! Conrad was able to get us a table last minute and took care of us like we were his personal friends. He was so efficient and helpful. As was the rest of the staff. The food was also DELICIOUS and we ate everything we tried. The drinks were also well worth it. I will definitely be back and ask for Conrad again. read more

Went for my wife's birthday. Arrived early and were seated at a great table by the open window. We sat for a while before a water took our drink order, it didn't appear anyone was actually assigned to our table as different waiters stopped by and asked if we had ordered yet, which we hadn't. My martini, ordered very dry, had so much vermouth it was undrinkable, so sent it back for a tannery and tonic. Not sure what I got, didn't resemble a T&T, but I choked it down to move on to wine. After a lengthy delay we ordered apps, delicious. The dumplings were excellent as was the salmon roll. After watching others who sat well after us finish their meals we still hadn't ordered dinner until my wife flagged down another waiter who then helped us the rest of the night. Dinner arrived after a lengthy delay and a different times. The udon noodles were pretty good but the poke bowl was pretty lame. Little bits of tuna and not much flavor. Our waiter who saved the day was really apologetic and comped us the dinners. I realize everyone is short staffed, but they seemed to have plenty of staff. Overall apps very good, drinks poor,entrees mediocre, service missed for us until we got some help. Can't blame covid for terrible drinks. 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

Not only did Bar Yoshi upgrade their location, but they also upgraded the menu to set them apart from any Sushi eatery in New England, let alone Nantucket. I was visiting Nantucket in early October. They were one of very few spots on the Warf that were open and operating at full capacity. The cleanliness of the restaurant is impeccable which made my fiancé and me very comfortable. We dined inside and did take out to our small cottage at the Boat Basin. The quality of the take out was just as good as the experience inside the restaurant. Each dish was fresh and delicious. The owner is engaging, funny, and even went out of his way to make us a new menu item he was testing out for next season. Since I was touring the Island with my fiancé (her second time in ACK) we also received some of the best local knowledge that made our experience unforgettable. Yoshi's is and will always be a go-to spot for us when we are on the Island. read more

Very rude and terrible customer service. I walked in to inquire about a table for 2 (midday), unknowing that the restaurant didn't serve anything in the middle of the day. The man at the door and young woman behind the register looked at me then immediately went back to their own conversation. Then finally acknowledged I was standing there. The man at the front very condescendingly told me I can sit outside to "take a load off" but that they don't open until 4:30pm. All in all. Very poor first interaction. Would never go back and spend my money on this establishment. Especially during a pandemic when there are other restaurants very welcoming to patrons and truly appreciate your business and support. read more

"Reminds me of the sushi at my college cafeteria" was my first thought. Might just be the inflated Nantucket pricing, but the fish is not worth the price. Maki rolls are 6 piece instead of 8. Only Japanese beer is Kirinichiban, but they had run out when I was there and the only other option was a local brew that I didn't care for. Service staff didn't seem to be happy to be there. Probably my own fault, Nantucket as a whole is not really known for sushi. On the good side, the place has 6 or so tables in a cute room and feels quaint. It also may be one of the only places you can expect to walk in on a weekend evening w/o a reservation and get seated. read more

Dinner last night, started with spicy tuna roll and edamame. Both were good. Next was "flash fried" calamari. I could not tell that it was squid, totally over cooked and burned. Beef skewers and Pho to finish it out. Good but not great. Prices are pretty much double what one would expect to pay. Least expensive wine by the glass was $24...ouch. Overall, exhorbant prices for average food. NOT recommended! read more

Waiter was gracious and attentive about accommodating my gluten allergy. Supplied gluten free soy sauce and helped navigate the menu. Shrimp & tuna ceviche sampler was incredible and the Nantucket tuna roll was divine. Highly recommend! read more

Didn't like the vegetable roll but the shrimp dumplings were delicious! Not the best ginger or wakame on the island

a definite stand out. Some fabulous and creative dishes such as the dumplings, scallion pancake and poke bowls. The sushi rolls are ordinary. But the location and vibe is really fun. read more

Food and service was impeccable. Olga, our server, was informative and made great recommendations; especially the soft shell crab roll. Water glasses were never empty. Great experience. read more

Terrible food. Terrible service. Ordered 4 rolls and a seaweed salad and was charged $90. I was promised my to go order in 10-15 minutes and I didn't receive it until almost an hour later. The vegetable roll was not as described, and despite being charged I never received a seaweed salad. Extremely disappointed. read more

Jenny is amazing, and truly goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Highly recommend.
