    Tempura and Tonkotsu for lunch combo
    Misty S.

    This is one of NE Atlanta's beloved Japanese restaurants, located next to the Japanese grocery store, Tomato Store. It's one of the most authentic and wonderful Japanese restaurants I've been frequenting for years. The entire menu, including garnishes, is authentically Japanese, and it's run by a Japanese owner and staff, I believe. Important notice: They will relocate along with their grocery store, Tomato Store, to a new location in March 2025. New Location: 8560 Holcomb Bridge Rd, Alpharetta, GA 30022 They are currently closed on Tuesdays. Food 5/5: The dishes are delicious and authentically Japanese. The lunch combo with two sides of your choice is a must-try and is priced at only $10.99. Other lunch offerings, including sushi, soba & ramen noodles, Donburi, and curry rice, are also exceptional. The garnish includes shredded cabbage and closed lemon and more. Sometimes it has some extra side dishes like potato salad and spaghetti Neapolitan included in the lunch deal. Ambience 5/5: It's a small, hole-in-the-wall spot, but it feels just like one you'd find in Odaiba, Tokyo. It's not a candle light date spot, but great family spot. Staff 5/5: They are quick, attentive, and well-experienced. Despite the struggles during the pandemic, they have continued to strive, and this place remains my favorite and a staple. The new location is just 10 minutes away from the current place, but I will definitely continue to patronize them.

    We came here on a whim for lunch while in the area. Their portions are small but the price reflects it. I think we paid less than $25 for 2 lunch combos. I felt it was fair in this environment. If you know what to expect going in, you'll be fine. It's good for a quick lunch but not a great candidate for date night or something. As someone mentioned, the interior is super dated and it's not a great "ambiance". Service was quick and efficient and that's all I can ask for. Would come by again when I'm nearby!

    Amazing environment, very clean, very quiet, the ambiance is very nice and cozy. Food is authentic, great prices, with good variety that most Japanese restaurants don't have in the US serving time is comparatively long due to short of staff Very welcoming attitude and I feel respected Recommend for anyone who wants to try some real Japanese food

    Drove by this spot countless times but finally checked out Sushi Yoko. After stopping by the Tomato 2 Japanese Grocery Store, we stopped by and had a quick lunch. PRO: - Affordable! You don't see $10.95 lunch combos around very much anymore so imagine our surprise when you have 24 options to choose from. Everything on the menu seems very reasonable for lunch. All lunch orders come with ginger salad, miso soup and rice. - Service was good. Our food arrived pretty quick and presentation was nice. CONS: - Location isn't very convenient and the space is very dated. The entrance isn't very obvious and honestly doesn't look very nice from the outside. Main entrance leads down a hall that has two doors at the end: one for the Japanese market and the other for the restaurant. Sashimi quality was OK - not the freshest but you're getting this at a steal. Ginger sauce on the salad was yummy. Grilled salmon was very good albeit it's a small piece. Udon was very basic with only a piece of sweet tofu on top and some scallions. No other garnishes. Parking: private lot (free) Overall, it's A-OK. Glad we had the opportunity to try this place.

    Good food, service, and quick kitchen. The karaage is lightly breaded and juicy, the sushi comes with a dab of wasabi under the fish (just like Japan!) and the ramen is hot and savory. The menu is filled with many good items you will have a hard time choosing just one. I enjoyed the ramen the most and I was glad the waitress offered her opinion on it over the second choice of the curry rice (which I would like to come back and try.) The booths fit 4 and the place is small, but has large rooms in the back with tatami mats, and there is a sushi bar, but I suggest coming before 6 to get a table. Saw many takeout orders so the kirchen was really doing great to handle so many orders during their dinner rush. There are 3 different menus- lunch, dinner, and ramen. Check them all out!

    From the outside and even inside, Sushi Yoko isn't super new or has a grandeur appearance. Despite this lackluster appearance, the early dinner crowd on a Friday night definitely showed up with the place being filled quickly. There seemed to be some regulars as well. We shared the mochi age which comes with 2 pieces. This deep dried rice cake was interesting and what'd you expect: squishy mochi. Their special sauce appeared to be a soy sauce base. Overall a unique choice but short of a palate pleaser for me. It was an interesting first try dish, but not much a filling appetizer. I had the yamakake don. This had tuna sashimi and Japanese yam on top of rice. The kaisen bowl pick also comes with miso soup and a house salad. The tuna came with about 6 to 8 cubed pieces.The sticky Japanese yam sounded interesting, but I honestly didn't know what to expect. There weren't much flavors going on with this choice. The hubs had the katsu don within the donburi (bowl) section. This also came with miso soup and house salad. The tonkatsu and omelet over the rice made the bowl a little more filling compared to mine. The pork cutlet wasn't amazing but felt to be a little dry, yes, despite it being a fried cutlet. He also felt meh about this pick. Service was good, nothing lacking. The portions were so so. The flavor profiles weren't wowing to me. Prices were decent. Overall it is about a 3.5 star experience, but the variety of unique choices and reasonable prices compels me to round to a 4.

    The best Japanese comfort food in GA! I live out of state but every time I'm in the area I make sure to make a stop at Sushi Yoko. I know the curry is popular but do not sleep on the chicken nanban! For the price and the meal you get, this is a great place. The restaurant is cozy and the staff is friendly. I definitely recommend stopping here if you have the chance. Come early because the line does get long on the weekends.

    I used to loveeee umezono back in the days and I was craving for Japanese food until I remembered that Sushi Yoko used to be Umezono's sister restaurant back then so I had to give it a try. We came for lunch. First off I was shocked at the lunch specials. It was I believe $10.95 for a ginger salad, miso soup, and the choice of 2 other items. This is a steal!!! I would say the portion was fair and I was full at the end of the meal. I ordered the tempura and the chicken teriyaki . Everything tasted great., The service was good, they did post a sign stating they were understaffed but I came at the end of the lunch rush so it wasn't too busy. I definitely will be back, it was a nice casual restaurant and you cannot beat the prices.

    Sushi Yoko is truly a hidden gem. As in the restaurant is actually hard to find & amazing. The restaurant has -2 curb appeal. I missed the entrance to this windowless building at first. You go down a hall to the hanging banners, " Am I in the right place?" Through the doors and banners you enter a cozy little dinner. The ambiance is intimate and warm. People from all walks of life are dining. Really good food brining a diverse group together. The menu has so many good offerings. For our appetizer we got takoyaki, salmon nigiri, and tomago. The tomago was deliciously custary. I got the teriyaki beef because it was one most mentioned on Yelp, and I was not disappointed! It was not an Americanized version of the dish (thank god). Very very good dish. It was quite rare but hey trust the process. Great value for price. Everything I ate was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try something new. The whole experience was wonderful, the missing the entrance and all. Never change Sushi Yoko. The waitstaff are quite busy. The whole place only had two waitresses who were working so hard. They don't have time to chit chat at your table. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all, just as a customer be mindful. The wait can get long. Be sure to get there early and kill time in the Japanese grocery store next door!

    It's alright. You have to know what to expect though. The interior is super dated. It takes you right back to the 80s (not that I would know though since I was born late 90s). And the restaurant is hidden in the back of a building that also houses a small but authentic Japanese supermarket. Don't expect anything too nice inside and it's not a nice first date spot. But the food is authentic. Sushi Yoko is quite understaffed with minimal waiters and only one sushi chef. So they said it's quite a wait for the food. All of the sashimi/nigiri was super fresh and tasty. I liked all of them except for maybe the squid which was too slimy even for someone who relatively likes squid. Super authentic, quiet and dated, tucked in the back of an old building. It feels truly like a secret, hole in the wall place. But honestly, I prefer Tanaka in Roswell if you are looking for a small hole in the wall authentic Japanese cuisine place. Sushi Yoko is definitely worth a try though as it is an extremely unique experience. It's fun to stop by the Japanese supermarket to pick up some Japanese snacks you can't find at the other Asian supermarkets (mostly Korean or Chinese).

We are accustomed to the food revolving around the conveyor belt abundantly and love to jump in, pulling our faves off the belt and ordering our apps from the ipad. Well upon arrival at 8pm (their service hours end at 9) there was not a single plate to be found. But, nor was there an ipad. We were directed to a qr code where each person had to use their phone to access the menu for ordering but it was so lengthy because there were items under the all you can eat menu and same items duplicated under the a la carte menu. Now, i despise using phones at a dinner table. I was immediately irritated. No food, no easy ordering, and for the first 40 minutes we were all struggling with our phones to order. Normally, when we pull a plate from the belt, we might share the pieces and so we rarely over order. Each time we have food arrive from the ipad, it alerts us to what we still have coming and what is arriving. Suddenly, 45 minutes into our arrival, food begins to arrive and we realize we all ordered rolls we love but there was no opportunity to collaborate who was ordering what. We had rolls duplicated everywhere and it was a mess. Our dinner experience now was a really irritating one and this very frequent dining family will not return to this location. Please bring back the original system. Until then, we will go to Marietta.
