Sushi Yoto - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

When you walk in, it's a small restaurant with a few tables, and you place your order directly with the staff. Sashimi is only available during dinner hours, but nigiri is offered all day. The quality of the fish was poor. The tuna, lacked the red color you'd expect. The rolls were quite large, and some were falling apart. The hand rolls had a heavy amount of rice, and overall, the rice portions felt excessive and inconsistent from roll to roll. Out of everything i tried, the Shaggy Dog roll was the best but even then, it didn't compare to other places. However, the service was good. The waitress was attentive and offered sauces, wasabi, and ginger. read more

I wasn't planning to order anything adventurous, but the chef's specialty roll caught my eye at Sushi Yoto. It ended up being the best decision of the meal-fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor in every bite. We also shared a few nigiri, and you could really taste the quality of the fish. It's the kind of place that makes you want to branch out and try something new. read more

I fell upon this new sushi place and love everything about it. Great service, food and peaceful environment.

Visited in July 2024 Some of the sushi had a noticeably strong fishy taste, and the shrimp in the tempura roll was either overcooked or too soft, which made it seem less fresh. That said, the staff were very accommodating and attentive throughout our visit. There was also plenty of space, even with a stroller, which made things more comfortable. read more

Sushi Yoto - Naruto and spicy lady roll! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

I had lunch with my sister at our favorite AYCE sushi place near the office! It's so good I stopped going to Little Tokyo that's just down the street. I can eat a lot of sushi like a good $150 worth! You can't beat AYCE sushi that's fresh everytime! Always consistent with the freshness of the sushi and rolls! The price for lunch is reasonable and dinner includes sashimi! The gyoza is one the best I've had. The perfect flavor and crispiness. The spicy garlic edamame had the best of both spicy garlic. My all time favorite is the striped bass, which is extremely hard to find at most AYCE sushi places. The only thing I was disappointed in was the shumai. It was definitely frozen store bought. I would recommend everything else on the menu! My favorite waiter is Jimmy. He's always attentive and makes sure you're taken care of. We'll be back next week! read more

First off great service from start to end of my dinning experience. I wish the young lady told me her name on entry so I could acknowledge her in this because she did wonderful. Perfect lighting and soft, soothing and yet very entertaining background music. Grilled baby octopus- well cooked and tasty. The sauce that it's served with is really nice. Nasa Roll- great taste and the tuna was actually spicy. I didn't really like the beef cuts due to a few of them being really chewy and I was unable to swallow a few pieces. Spicy Girl Roll- flavor was very mild. The name did not fit the flavor. It tasted really good but should be more of sexy girl instead of spicy since there was almost no spice to it at all. read more

This place is not good, sushi is not fresh looked like it was mushed together or fake and very thin with way to much rice, beef option did not look appealing at all service was terrible very disappointing didn't like the food so much I had to leave and let them charge me for the left overs. Restroom are gross, watch one of the servers sneeze in her hand and not go wash them before going to the table she was serving.. they were good when they first opened but definitely not a recommended place to come. To top it off when it was time to pay they servers saw I was unhappy and offered to take the left over food charge off which was 3$ if I didn't post about my experience.. I had no issue with paying for the food I ordered, considering the fact it's my normal order when I go eat sushi; so the way the server handled me being unhappy was very unprofessional. They could have left it alone, charge me and let me be on my way; but to bribe me with taking off 3$ on a 70$ tab of food that was not fresh is crazy. read more

We came here for the all you can eat lunch and were blown away. First of all, Daisy was fantastic and we enjoyed having her be our server. Secondly, ALL of the food was amazing! Every single order we received was delicious, made to order, and served quickly. Lastly, as you can see, some of the food was already gone before I remembered to take pictures. It was that good! Definitely check this place out for the all you can eat lunch. You will not be disappointed! read more

Our family has been here 4+ times. Plan on another visit within the week. Excellent service. Nicely decorated interior. Food quality is excellent and prices are very fair. Sometimes the food delivery will slow, but this place gets busy! Overall I think they do an amazing job delivering the orders quickly. The owners are active and so friendly. 5/5. Highly recommended. read more

Daisy was very kind and super sweet. She helped me pick out some great sushi rolls that I could only eat half of each. The Shaggy Dog roll was on point! The Pasadena Roll was a great surprise with refreshing cucumber. The seaweed salad is fresh and excellent. I don't enjoy Oreos normally but to my amazement, they're absolutely delish FRIED with strawberry ice cream!! I sat at the bar and enjoyed watching everyone else's lunch come out. I wanted to sample it all. Enjoyable atmosphere read more

Amazing everything tastes great the Servers are polite and friendly. The person who sticks out the most is the manager Marco ! He is an amazing respectful person and takes care of his guests. He recognizes us since we walk in the door and always greets us even if he is not our server. GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE ! read more

Nice AYCE spot to find a little closer to us where we live on the east side. Tuna and Salmon sushi/handrolls were good. Shaggy Dog Roll is huge and got full pretty quick after eating that. The only thing I did not like was the smoked salmon and beef sushi .. and seemed like the sushi/handrolls had a bit too much rice in them. Service was good and food came to us quick. read more

Terrible place they were not friendly! My mother and I ate here one afternoon and let me tell you the owners were just non stop arguing.

I am a total sushi snob. This place is great if your family doesn't know any better. Service was great and the food was fine. I haven't found a single sushi restaurant that makes decent sushi rice. That makes or breaks everything for me. read more

Before I get started, let me say that the robotic cat server is absolutely adorable, and I couldn't stop smiling whenever it passed by. I was extremely excited to try this place. I love sushi, and having AYCE less than five minutes from my house is a dream come true. Mon-Fri lunch AYCE is 11 am- 3:30 pm for $19.95 and dinner AYCE is $29.95 (including weekends and holidays). Me and my hubby were seated right away. There are booths and tables and a tiny sushi counter all the way in the back. It's a bit of a tight squeeze when the place fills up which could make it very difficult for anyone needing a wheelchair or a walker to move around (like to the restrooms). Popular Christmas music was softly playing in the background and there were plenty of flatscreen TVs showing sports on almost every wall. The atmosphere felt modern and trendy without being pretentious. Our cheerful server (a human, not the cat-bot) brought us their lunch menus and asked what we'd like to drink. They didn't have a drink list anywhere we could see, so we defaulted to a sweet tea with lemon for me and an ice water with lemon for hubby. Here's a list of what we ordered and shared: Spicy garlic edamame, baby octopus robata, beef tataki, miso soup, spicy kani salad, 4 pieces of red snapper and yellowtail nigiri, 1 tamago and 1 inari nigiri, a spicy tuna handroll, a chicken crunch handroll, a volcano long roll, eel and avocado long roll, and a NASA long roll. We ordered our meal in small bursts and never had long to wait. The hot food was hot and the fish fresh and flavorful. I was a little disappointed that the snapper on my nigiri was sliced rather thin compared to the rice ratio given, but the yellowtail was on point. Hubby said he liked the flavor of his chicken handroll but the sauce was loaded up front and didn't reach the end bites. He says that was his bad, though, and resolved to order it as a long roll next time. The NASA roll was delicious! Out of all the food we ordered, I liked that the best! I really enjoyed our time at Sushi Yoto and will absolutely return! There are quite a few rolls I'd like to try from their dinner menu! read more

Very delicious food and quick service. The ambience was great and there was a medium price. Would definitely recommend.

Incredibly fresh for all you can eat. Perfectly sliced sashimi, not too thin or small. Service is slow but everyone is very attentive and nice. The place is very small, similar to a traditional sushi restaurant, hopefully owner keeps the same quality for near future. Kids under 4 get charged $6.95 for dinner. read more

I visited Sushi Yoto for their dinner all you can eat sushi. I'm glad that there's finally a high quality ayce sushi spot close to me in Pasadena. I favor this restaurant over all of the other sushi spots around the area, in terms of both the quality and service. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and would be a nice place to catch up with friends. Everything from the appetizers, sushi, and dessert were spot on. Our sushi came out on a boat too which was a nice surprise! My favorites from the dinner ayce menu: - Yellowtail Jalapeno - Crispy Calamari - Jalapeno Crab - Takoyaki - Grilled Mussels - Yellowtail, tuna, salmon, eel, and mackerel - Houston Roll - Tempura oreo and green tea ice cream read more

Loved the food. My husband and I agree everything is fresher here than other places. The tempura shrimp in the rolls is actually crispy! Portions are larger as well. Had good options for apps, which I care about. I enjoyed the spicy Kani salad, especially. My favorite sushi is typically something with smoked salmon, but I don't like fried rolls. They only have smoked salmon inside fried rolls here. However, the Tigereye was really good, and it's the first time I've liked a roll that's fried. Eel is another one of my favorites and the eel nigiri was delicious. The dragon roll has avocado on top instead eel. Ice cream was great! I got green tea and it was rich and smooth, served with chocolate syrup, whipped cream and cherries. read more

For an all you can eat it was pretty good. Not the best but the sushi and dumplings, spring rolls and crab wontons were really good. Fish seemed fresh. The fried Oreo was to so good but seemed like it had been warmed up vs freshly fried. read more

My bosses took us out for lunch, and we had a great time here! The food was delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. The only thing they could improve is the crab puffs, they were under cooked, not very crispy and flat. Everything else we had was fantastic! I Loved my shaggy dog roll. Great vibe and atmosphere. Will go again with family soon! read more

Tokyo roll was super mushy and quality of the sushi overall wasn't great. Food came out pretty slow but they are newly opened so I give them slack on that. The sashimi and tataki are probably the only thing worth to get here. Decent for the area but even Ohayo or Edo Japan is better quality read more

This place was so good! It has a nice and cozy atmosphere, and the music they played was pleasant. The service was nice and accommodating, especially given the fact that we were a big party, constantly checking on us and patiently waiting for our orders. The quality or the place really shines through the food, everything was soo good and we ordered so much! If you want good sushi you should definitely go here. read more

UPDATE We've loved this place ever since we discovered it in January of this year. We've been coming here frequently, however I've noticed a huge decline in quality.

Sushi Yoto - Double dragon roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasadena, Texas

Loved this place and always went for dinner but today we went for lunch and our server was so passive aggressive, she checked on every other table but ours until we asked a random server if we could order more food and thankfully he was a peach but I guess our server didn't like that we wanted a new server and didn't let the other server be our server which honestly is such a red flag; then proceeded to be so passive aggressive and see what the problem was when the other server had already explained. We didn't get refills and the food was mid. Idk what happened to this place but if they're gonna have servers like this one then I would suggest going somewhere else because there's no reason for this type of interaction. read more

Absolutely love this place! I even go by myself because the food is so good and the price is PERFECT!!!! I love sushi and I am always looking for the best spots in town and this is by far one of my favorites! AYCE!!! Can't beat that. The rolls are FULL ROLLS and not "samples". The apps and aides are FULL SIZES and not little baby ones. If you love sushi and can't eat your weight in sushi you HAVE to give this place a try!!!! read more

Had dinner here a couple nights ago and we were really amazed with the quality of the fish. Our favorites were the white tuna, yellowtail, and striped bass. We also ordered the soft shell crab roll, NASA roll, and Sweet 18 Roll. Our server was attentive and came by to check on us regularly, which is really important for an all you can eat place. Unfortunately the cat robot they use to deliver food to the table wasn't working that day, but that's okay. We finished off with green tea ice cream, tempura bananas, and tempura ice cream. The pricing is definitely reasonable for the quality of the food and the flexibility to try what you want. read more
