So glad this neighborhood finally has an AYCE sushi spot, and at a price that actually makes sense. For $40 a person you are getting a serious deal. One tip: get there early. The place fills up around 6pm so arriving ahead of that will save you a wait. They don't take reservations, so first come first served. The ordering experience is really smooth. Everything is done through an iPad at your table and the food comes out to you. They won't let you place a new order until your previous one has been delivered, which honestly is a smart system and helps with pacing so you don't over order right out of the gate. What sets this place apart from other AYCE spots is the variety. It's not just sushi. You can also order appetizers, salmon, teriyaki chicken and more, so there's something for people who want to mix it up beyond rolls. Delicious, easy, affordable and in the neighborhood. Highly recommend! read more

-Food is just okay. 3 stars. Some good value sushi and cooked food won't be available in menu. It limited to order every single round. In average, waiting time for food is 10+ minutes each round. -Hopefully this staffs will have more training in buffet style dining. Server will give you check when there's still have available time to order in system. -Environment is just okay too. They just stuck some paper towel underneath the leg of table to balance. read more

Mom wanted Japanese food within walking distance from where we are staying and this place was the closest to us. So we walked down two of the steepest hills ever and arrived at this little joint. Needless to say, my initial impression was not great as the space around the front of the restaurant is under construction and you have to walk over a makeshift bridge to access the underwhelming entrance. I kind of wanted to keep on walking when I saw this situation, but my ma said to give it a chance, so we did. We were seated by a window and had a lovely view of the construction. One of the waiters said that it is going to be a garden, but it has been under construction for three months and nothing has happened. I really hope it looks beautiful when it is completed! We did not opt for AYCE sushi but instead got agedashi tofu, yellowtail collar, udon w/tempura & katsu curry. We also shared some refreshing sake. The food came out quickly and honestly it was all really tasty. While the food was not sophisticated per se, it was comforting and kind of tasted like homemade we enjoyed it. Service was friendly and very efficient. Arigato! read more

My go-to spot for all-you-can-eat sushi in SF!! Come on an empty stomach. They have an impressive selection of specialty rolls, nigiri, and appetizers that make it easy to try a little bit of everything. On our most recent visit, we ordered several specialty rolls topped with seared fish, creamy sauces, and tobiko. You MUST try the Lion King Roll- our go to order. Beyond the sushi, we got miso soup, which is comforting and a nice palate cleanser, crunchy seaweed salad, hamachi carpaccio which was fresh and deserved a re-order, and poke chips which are a light and addictive appetizer. You can skip the chicken karaage to be honest, but the butter corn is a surprisingly sweet side that rounds out the meal perfectly. You have a two hour time window to dine, and you can order thru an iPad. Yoki gets quite busy so sometimes there were long gaps between orders. Depends on which day of the week you decide to visit. They're able to seat large parties and I have come here for intimate dates to birthday dinner of up to 8 people. This time we visited with a party of four and had to wait a bit before being seated. That said, Yoki remains my first choice whenever I'm craving best-value AYCE sushi read more

A group of friends and I decided to try this AYCE sushi spot over the weekend. For $45.99, it was worth the price. We went at 5pm because we heard it would be busy, but it wasn't bad so you don't need to go that early in my opinion. You order everything on the iPad which was convenient and the food comes out quick. I love how they had lots of options for appeitizers, rolls, and other things like udon and ramen. One of our favorite appetizers was the fried scallop bites. Overall, the quality was good for AYCE sushi and they had lots of sushi to pick from. read more

My friends and I went to Izakaya Yoki on a Friday night around 7 p.m., and the restaurant was pretty busy (pro tip: I'd recommend parking at the SFMTA Sutter garage, which is only about $5 per hour). In total, we spent about two hours at Yoki with their AYCE menu. Ambiance aside, the food was good! I can't say the appetizers were amazing (the karaage tasted frozen, and the agedashi tofu was just okay--if anything, get the takoyaki!), but man oh man, the sushi was good. We ordered maybe 8-9 rounds of sushi, and the food came out pretty quickly. You can see a team of cooks assembling the sushi nearby, and my friend (who is a salmon fiend) praised the quality of their salmon nigiri. My favorites were the Surrender and the Double Salmon, but hey, it's AYCE... go wild. (Just don't get the fried sushi!) Now, if I factor in the ambiance, Yoki drops maybe half a star. It didn't bother me too much, but geez, the restaurant is warm. YMMV depending on when you go, but we were surprised there was no AC or fan (though this didn't impact the sushi quality). They did have their sliding doors open though, which let in some air, but construction and traffic from outside made it hard to hear any music or conversations. Overall, I'd give Yoki a solid 4.5/5. For an AYCE spot in SF, you really can't go wrong, and we'll definitely be coming back. read more

Izakaya Yoki - Very yummy line of nigiris! - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Pretty good value at $40 per person! The restaurant was pretty full at 6:15 on a Saturday, but we managed to get seated right away at one of the few remaining empty tables. As far as AYCE sushi goes, this was pretty good - nothing in particular was a standout, but the baseline quality of all the fish was pretty high (no off scents or tastes, feeling pretty good six hours after eating), and the overall speed of service was great, given that you have 90 minutes with a final call at 20 minutes left. Across two people, we ended up ordering about a dozen rolls and a dozen orders of carpaccio, alongside several appetizers. The fried scallops were pretty unique, and really nice; the chicken karaage I would probably swap out in the future. The seared rolls were quite good (we got three orders of the Lucky 7). Overall, the rolls are somewhat heavier in mayo (and many also has shrimp tempura), but the flavors were quite nice, and most importantly, the fish tasted fresh throughout. For anyone looking for more fish (without rice), I would recommend doing several orders of the carpaccio. My only complaint is that the amount of rice in each roll wasn't super consistent, with some pieces having double the rice of others. All that said, this definitely hits the spot for an AYCE craving! I know I'll be back the next time I'm yearning for a copious amount of sushi. read more

This place was fantastic. Grab a big group of friends and try everything you can, and make sure to line up early. The large and spacious interior quickly fills up with customers and bustling energy once the restaurant opens. Do keep in mind that after 60 minutes, they cut you off (so you can't order up to the full 90 min mark)!! Out of everything my table ordered (for this meal, I just sat back and enjoyed the fruits of my companions' ordering labor), the poke chips and white dragon roll were my favorites (with the best/ most diverse texture and flavor combinations), though everything was truly delicious. I'd love to return. read more

Izakaya Yoki - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Food (5/5): Izakaya Yoki is, without a doubt, my favorite AYCE sushi spot in SF, and it isn't even close. The quality is extremely solid considering it's AYCE, and I love that they even offer sashimi/carpaccio options. Additionally, the menu has a pretty wide variety of items including a solid izakaya menu and tons of rolls to choose from if you're more into that than nigiri/sashimi. Ambiance (4/5): Solid place, not too fancy but not too run-down. It's a good in-between and a good choice for a casual meal. My only complaint here is that the service can be a bit hit-or-miss. I've had days where they forgot to bring out orders (not a huge deal since it's AYCE but still) or it just takes a while to get your food if they're particularly busy. Value (5/5): If you're craving AYCE and have a big appetite, you can easily make this worth it. It's an extremely good price point for the quality of sushi that you're getting. Overall: Definitely check them out! You won't regret it. read more

One of my favorite ayce sushi spots in the bay area. I've never had a bad experience and I always enjoy the service + quality of the food offered. Parking can be tough and that's probably my biggest deterrent from dining here more frequently, but definitely worth a try if you're in the mood for ayce sushi! They have plenty of other options for appetizers and side dishes as well. The hamachi kama is a must try if you aren't too full from sushi. read more

Chose the AYCE option. I noticed they've removed the premium menu but adjusted the base AYCE price to what used to be the premium tier, which feels like a quiet price increase (previously about a $5 upcharge). The rice was underseasoned in my opinion, which affected several dishes. The sushi selection is both extensive and limited--there are many roll options, but they tend to be rice-heavy and filling, with fewer lighter options that highlight the fish. That said, the fish itself tasted fresh. Ordering is done online with a timer that limits how much you can order at once, requiring a wait between rounds. While this does slow the pace of the AYCE experience, the service itself was attentive and efficient. read more

All you can eat downtown SF. Probably the only one in the city that is convenient. It's $30ish for 2 hours of acye. You order on the iPad on each table. The service is pretty fast even on busy nights. The staff comes over to refill water and make sure you are well taken care of. The food is pretty decent. My favorite was the wasabi octopus 10/10 and the tempura shrimp. The ambiance is casual dinning. read more

Wow this was the best AYCE I've been to but can't say i've been to very many recently. Walk in around 8pm and only a 5-10 min wait thru Yelp waitlist which was only on-site check in. The place is pretty spacious and clean. There is a tablet to order from. And they have a wide variety of appetizers, rolls, nigiri, carpaccio, salads, and alcohol (extra cost). My favs were the Yoki salad (dressing so tasty), lion king roll, agedashi tofu and the shrimp mayo lemon appetizer. Their nigiri weren't bad, a decent amount but not as high quality as the high end sushi places. Would skip the chicken karage, the buttered corn(too much butter) , spicy edamame (too spicy), The rainbow roll was decent and hamachi kama as well. Service is so fast and didnt feel rushed at all. Had almost an hour left lololol. Would def recommend and wouldnt mind coming back. read more

My friends and I came for the AYCE and had a great time! Honestly I cant even list all the food we ordered, but the standout was the tako wasabi, baby scallop nigiri, and any roll. I preferred most of the special rolls to the other nigiri pieces/regular rolls. The carpaccios were okay and not the highest quality, but good considering it was AYCE! The chirashi bowl had a bit much rice, so I hope they provide a bit less rice in proportion to the fish given. Definitely order the baby scallop nigiri -- we had several of those and found them to be super fresh! The atmosphere was really nice for a group of friends and the waiters/waitresses were super attentive and nice. They serve the food very quickly after the order is submitted. Just a note that after you order for one category, you cannot order for another 10 minutes, which honestly was not a problem for our table. We will definitely come again! read more

Izakaya Yoki - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here last Friday for AYCE before going to a concert nearby. The restaurant was pretty full when we arrived around 6:15pm, but there was no wait. Decoration inside was simple and basic, but we came here for the value and food quality, not for the ambiance. As we didn't come to SF often, it's interesting to see so many Waymo's through their large windows. Ordering from the iPad was very straightforward, and there's a countdown at the top showing how much time was left. The 90-min limit was more than enough time and we didn't feel rushed at all. They offered a lot of options under quite a number of different categories. We weren't even close to the limit under each category, and we didn't have to wait at all before placing another order. The food came out quickly and service was friendly and efficient. I liked that their sashimi, nigiri and rolls were smaller than what you'd get normally so that we could try more varieties. Quality was not bad for AYCE. The fish to rice ratio was on point, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. It's $40 per person, and we got 10% off paying cash. For the two of us, we ordered: Starters: cucumber salad, miso soup, agedashi tifu Nigiri: bluefin tuna, unagi, baby scallops, seared tuna, seared salmon, seared yellowtail, tamago Special rolls: dragon, rainbow, surrender, yoki Torched roll: lion king My favorites were the baby scallop nigiri (we had encores), Yoki rolls, and lion king rolls. We had a satisfying and enjoyable meal, felt content and not stuffed. Would come here again if we're in the area. read more

We had dinner here before a concert at the Masonic theater. I typically steer away from all you can eat places because a) I don't want the temptation/incentive to continue to stuff food down my gullet, and b) the quality usually doesn't match what you'd order from a non-all-you-can-eat place. But we were very pleasantly surprised. The ordering process, by category, from the tablet mounted at each table was super easy, and the selection was really excellent. The taste and food quality were really quite good - nothing that screamed buffet or all you can eat quality. The food came pretty quickly and the portion sizes were a little on the smaller side, but that's totally appropriate to avoid waste and allow sampling of more items at an all-you-can-eat place. Like the special rolls - good number of pieces, but the girth of the rolls was more like a standard roll or midway between a tekka/kappa maki and a California roll. We were totally happy with the way things worked. We also ordered a bunch of nigiri too and they had a modest (in a good way) portion of rice (so you don't stuff yourself with starch) and a medium sized piece of fish. It was smart sizing and you can always order more if desired. We ordered a fair amount of food, all pictured, and felt full and satisfied, but not stuffed after. We had a good 25-30 minutes left on our 90 minute timer when we were done. The decor/ambiance was fine, nothing special, but nothing that took away from the experience. We'd definitely come here again and would recommend it especially to young hungry people who love sushi and don't have to worry as much about calories as us older folks, read more

Service was great from the time we walked in. Host was friendly and we were seated right away! Server brought over water and asked if we needed assistance with ordering - we did not. We started to order pretty much right away and he food came out very quickly! It continued to come out quickly except for when one of the orders on the pad didn't go through but that may have been our error. The food was of good quality considering an AYCE and the portion sizes were plentiful m, considering you can order as much as you want in 90 minutes. The 10 minute wait rule between orders was a little confusing but really was not a bother. All in all it was a good experience and I would defiantly recommend and return! read more

Overall a 3 star? Visiting out of town on a Sunday for a quick stop. Place was packed but we got a table for 4 within 10mins. They close at 9 - we sat down at 8 so we only had 1 hour to do the AYCE, which was fine by us. We order as much as we can at once. Server never said a word to us about the food they brought out. All they did was just set it down and walked away. 4 guests but 1 tray of ginger to split. Carpaccio took the longest to come out when it was the first thing we order. I'd say 30mins? Note - Carpaccio and Nigiri, you get to order 15max at one time and then order again in 10mins. Which I didn't know and had to ask Why can't I order more. Dinner is $44.99 read more

Passed by Izakaya Oya and saw they were offering AYCE sushi, so we had to check them out! The interior has a traditional Japanese restaurant feel with both à la carte and all-you-can-eat options. We opted for the AYCE menu, which came out to around $50 per person. - Sashimi -- pieces were on the smaller side and a little watery - Sashimi Salad -- fresh spring greens topped with larger sashimi cuts; a refreshing starter - Gyoza -- larger than typical gyoza, almost like mandu; crispy exterior with juicy filling - Poke Chip -- avocado could've been fresher, but still a nice crisp and creamy combo - Lion King Roll -- my favorite item of the night; seared salmon, avocado, and imitation crab. Wish it had a bit more torching and cheese, but still delicious - Rainbow Roll -- smaller-sized roll topped with salmon, tuna, shrimp, and avocado - Dragon Roll -- classic unagi and avocado combo; can't go wrong here - Double Salmon Roll -- salmon both inside and on top with a light lemon garnish - Heaven Roll -- tuna-heavy roll inside and out; great for tuna lovers - Bay Bridge Roll -- another standout; tuna and avocado topped with roe and white sauce - Miso Soup -- simple and comforting - Salmon Avocado Roll -- classic fresh combo with cucumber added for crunch - Nigiri (seared salmon, unagi, baby scallop, salmon avocado) -- probably the best quality items overall; loved the fatty scallop and seared salmon - Mixed Greens Salad -- underrated side with a sesame-ranch style dressing - Yammy Yammy Roll -- spicy tuna and seared tuna topped with spicy mayo and unagi sauce - Hamachi Kama -- thinner cut than expected but still buttery and tender There was no wait on a Friday night and our party was seated immediately. The restaurant has tables in both the front dining area and a quieter back section that feels more private. You order through a tablet attached to the table, which also tracks your remaining AYCE time. Service was extremely efficient and dishes came out surprisingly fast. Some items stood out more than others, but overall we definitely got our money's worth. For around $50 including tax and tip, it's a pretty reasonable AYCE sushi option in SF. read more

This place offers all you can eat sushi. That's a rare find in San Francisco. I think it was $40-$50/person. You're given 2 hours only. They will notify you when it's close to your 2hr mark. The service is great and the place is pretty big. I would suggest you take some sort of public transportation as parking in this area is tough. There is an iPad on the table that has the menu. You place your order through the iPad. Since you're given 2hrs, it's best to order several dishes at once. All the food was delicious. One thing to note is that the sashimi is very thinly sliced, not your typical slices. However, it allows you to eat & try more things on the menu. Plus, you could always order more, if needed. Every dish was good. I would recommend this place. read more

when I used to live in Nob Hill, this was my favorite spot to go to. I honestly used to go by myself because I've been there so many times and these servers started to know my usual orders. Lol my favorites were the carpaccio's and the spicy rolls. I also really like having some appetizers with the meal like miso soup and house salad. For 40 bucks, you can easily annihilate 4 to 5 roles and be decently full and well rounded by the end of the date or night. The drink options are great supporting role for a lot of sushi and I would highly recommend the beer to counteract all the food that you're gonna eat. read more

I came here on a weeknight and there wasn't much of a wait. Your whole party does have to be there before they seat you. We ordered a variety of things such as appetizers, nigiris, and rolls. The takoyaki and tempura were piping hot and tasty. All of the nigiris were pretty good, such as yellowtail, salmon, and unagi. My fave was the salmon with lemon. We got multiple rolls like lion king, geisha, and many more which all of them were delicious. The size of their rolls and nigiris were perfect for all you can eat. The hot sake was smooth and paired well with the fish. Service was great and fast. The food came out pretty quick and the time when you are able to re-order was very reasonable. Overall, I'd definitely come back. read more

I came to Izakaya Yoki for their All You Can Eat Special ($40/person). It was so perfect and easy. I had a great time. You are able to order as many rounds as you like within the time limit, and for each round, they will put a limit on how many of the items you can order in one round, which I think is good because it helps customers pace themselves on food, so you don't end up wasting too much food if you are over ordering. The rounds reset every 10 minutes, so you can easily order what you want regardless. I think the price is really fair given the amount of menu items that you can choose from. Food quality-wise, I felt that the fish was really fresh and their salmon tartare was super delicious. Understandably, the cuts of fish were thick but a little smaller in size. However, the rice to fish ratio is really fair with the rice being definitely on the smaller side, so you're really getting a lot of fish for the price. The service was very quick, very friendly, and you order on an iPad which also speeds up the process. Best part was it wasn't too busy, so I showed up at 5:00 (an hour after they open) and we got seated right away. The restaurant is not crowded at all because the seating is well-spaced apart, and they're playing some fun music videos in the background which is not too loud or distracting. When we decided to choose a seat, they were really transparent about certain seats getting too warm, so they recommended us sitting in an area that was cooler. We were comfortable, which we really appreciated. This was so much fun I definitely would love to come back! read more

AYCE sushi spot! I don't think I've ever gone to an AYCE sushi place before so it was nice to visit one. Ordering was easy as you use the tablet at the table to order. Staff were friendly and attentive. We were seated right away so I'm glad that wasn't a wait. The place seems modern, and the bathroom was clean. The food was pretty good and tasty. The rolls and nigiris were all small sized, which is cute. Haha that's a good idea for AYCE, I think. The takoyaki balls.. some of them didn't have any octopus pieces in them. I liked a couple of the rolls that were saucy; can't remember the name though. Lol I think I remembered it was about $39 something per person. Overall a solid spot for AYCe sushi. read more

before I get into it, the food itself is incredible. story time coming up for why I took out a star. I will say, the place was packed and there were at least 3 parties of 6+ at the same time as us, but just want to warn others too. we got here about 7pm on a Monday. There's street parking (we found some up the block that's 2 hour parking until 10pm). There wasn't a line so we sat right away, they log you into the iPad on the table where you see the timer for 90 minutes count down. also, nigiri pieces need a 6 minute cool down in between rounds, there was no # limit to each round, though. we ordered a bunch of stuff to try. miso soup, even though it was during the random heat wave week of 80 degrees outside, nigiri pieces, appetizers, rolls, and even a small ramen. appetizers/others/ - sashimi salad: was just 3 pieces of fish with gochujang and lettuce. I needed the salad aspect, though - miso soup: definitely a white/shiro based miso, tofu was a great plus - ramen: *story time* I ordered this at the same time as the miso soup. I didn't get it for 40 minutes - after all the fish and other foods I was at that point in AYCE where I could have left but would want a sweet treat after/not been AS satisfied, but if I still got the ramen I wouldn't leave super full either. so at the end of the rounds I asked for that and the last 2 pieces of nigiri that I ordered and they all came at the same time - ramen was incredible though. menma (bamboo shoot), kamaboko (pink and white fish cake), and soft slurpable noodles. it was the PERFECT ending to my AYCE even if it came last. - agedashi tofu: definitely my weakness, but it was softer tofu that I was expecting. it kept slipping from my chopsticks. delicious and light sauce. - tempura: my boyfriend liked this. I didn't get to observe aside getting the picture before he ate them, though. - tuna carpaccio: this was also a few pieces of fish with a vinaigrette and leaves nigiri, many were tried but a few stood out: - bluefin tuna: it was good, we ordered this a few times - salmon: was okay, a big piece, though - jalapeno yellowtail: a little tougher in texture but still good. smaller piece of fish - seared tuna/seared salmon: boyfriend said these were his favorite, also ordered a few times - lemon salmon: was okay - avocado salmon: great! biggest piece of salmon, definitely ordered the most rolls: - lion king - dragon - rainbow - bay bridge ^ my boyfriend ate that whole 4 stack by himself while I tried to patiently wait for my ramen - for future visits/warning, just order your rolls early while you also wait for the nigiri 6 minute timer my order of rolls was the tuna lover, chef's kiss. delicious all around. I'll be honest, the ramen quality made up for the time I waited. and my boyfriend and I both keep asking when we'll be back. between the two of us plus a sparkling water and tip it was about $110. in the city?? crazy concept. read more

came here around 7pm, was packed but not to the point where we had to use the yelp waitlist. during peak hours, you might find parking a little difficult since a lot of people use up street parking, we had to walk about 10 minutes since some parking garages were full. you get sat, and order through the ipad that is on each table. the food came out fast each time we ordered, the menu is also online! what we got: butter corn - the cheese and stuff on top i don't really like, similar to elote in a sense, i don't really like stuff on corn i really like it plain so i wasn't a huge fan seared sake, albacore, hamachi nigiri + unagi - soooooo goood love that they can give you one nigiri at a time so you can try most of them! spicy edamame - wasn't a huge fan of the sauce but i love edamame so it was good mixed tempura - good decent amount to share and not to make yourself full, i love the sweet potato gyoza - HUGE! but little sauce, was a little too breaded but i love the serving size tuna & albacore carpaccio - loved the tuna, didn't really like the sauce as much overall good price for an AYCE in SF!!!!! reccc read more

Heard about this place on social media and for the price, my boyfriend and I thought it would be worth a try! We came on a Friday and they open at 4pm, there's plenty of parking garages nearby if you can find street parking! The service was great, the staff greets you right as you walk in and if there's no wait, you get seated immediately. They're very quick to fill your water, super attentive and constantly clearing your table of any empty plates while eating! It's great! You don't have to flag anyone down or anything. The inside is great too! Nothing super fancy but it's still nice and comfortable inside! Right now I believe they're reconstructing the front. The floors weren't sticky, everything smelled clean and looked well kept! We opted for the all you can eat option and we were not disappointed! All the fish tasted very fresh, nothing smelled weird or had weird textures. All dishes are ordered thru an iPad that's available at every table, when ordering sashimi- there's a 6 minute cool down. You may order I believe 2 or 3 pieces every 6 minutes. The pieces were perfectly proportioned between rice and fish! They had a bunch of different options of sashimi, deep fried rolls, veggie rolls, appetizers and more! Their menu has something for everyone! My boyfriend isn't the biggest fan of raw fish but there were so many options for him and we both left feeling satisfied! For the price, this place is great! We will definitely be returning! Another great social media find! read more

There's not that many AYCE places in San Francisco so we were excited to try Yoki Sushi. When you think AYCE, you usually think that you can eat till you're full. Unfortunately, there seems to be some limitations for this AYCE place: - 90 minute limit - can only order from the same "category" every 10 minutes I would say that the fish quality is just alright, the highlight would be the scallop sashimi, but the rest was just run of the mill. During the middle of our short 90 minutes, we had a moment where we waited over 10 minutes for our next round which was a bit of a bummer. Overall just a so-so experience read more

They offered a wide selection on the menu, and it's easy and convenient to order from the tablet. From appetizers, nigiri, sashimi, rolls, salads, soup, and mini don. There are some time restrictions for about 8-10 minutes on certain categories like sashimi and nigiri, but the rest of the menu has no such limits, so you can order freely. From the appetizer section, we tried the tako wasabi, chicken karaage, takoyaki, pork katsu, and chicken katsu. The tako wasabi texture tasted a bit mushy, which I would not recommend; the rest tasted great. We also had the poke salad and sashimi salad. The portion sizes were great, but the seasoning fell into a really strong and sweet side. We ordered all of the sashimi carpaccio, which tasted alright, the fish texture was not as fresh as I expected, and the sauce they were using was overwhelming. I would have preferred just plain sashimi without the heavy seasoning. We tried most of the nigiri, and the ones that impressed me the most were baby scallop nigiri; it's sweet and fresh. I also had their salmon kama and hamachi kama; between these two, I like salmon kama better. I would say kama was the highlight of the meal since they did not put any seasoning on it, so you got to taste the natural flavor from the fish. read more

The seared salmon nigiri and the torched rolls were really good! I felt like the quality of the fish was just okay, and maybe that's why I liked the seared stuff better. They offered mostly nigiris and rolls, but it felt like there was just too much rice. The closest we could get to sashimi was the carpaccio dishes, which were also okay in my opinion but my friends really liked it! There's a 10-min waiting period in between each order of a certain type, but I felt like it was doable -- as soon as we were done with an order, it was ready to let us order again! read more

Yoki unfortunately didn't live up to all the social media hype. The fish on the nigiri were all extremely tiny and the rice was seasoned on the sweeter side. If you're primarily a roll eater, it's maybe worth trying, but otherwise, there are better ayce sushi places in the Bay Area. read more

The sushi was really tasty, the flavor profiles described in the menu matched the ingredients listed. My favorites were the Lion King (not pictured) and the Nigiri's. The rolls Shrimp Rush and Surrender are flavorful. One of them (can't remember which one) had a good amount of spice. The ambiance is very casual. We went at like 5 pm for super early dinner, and the decoration was clean (both hygienically and aesthetically) Service was prompt, I loved how fast the waiters were refilling the water. The only cautionary tale I had was the roasted salmon filet was not fully deboned. If you order that, be careful. read more

We went on a Saturday night and it was a short wait, fairly spacious indoors with lots of tables. It's very quick service here you barely interact with anyone, all the AYCE ordering is done through a tablet on the table. It honestly made it very seamless and easy, also food was coming out very quickly. The fish was fairly good quality, rolls were only okay as I've had better at different AYCE places. $39.99 per person which isn't too bad honestly, fairly standard price. read more

Izakaya Yoki - Nigiri - Japanese Near Me - San Francisco, California

Basic all you can eat sushi with the classic nigiri selection and some creative rolls. There's quite a big rice to fish ratio with the rice being quite dense in my opinion but otherwise the fish on top is very tender and tasty. The staff is nice but there were only two servers in charge of the entire busy dining area. The tables are clean with bright lighting and you can order dishes from the iPad. read more
