Sherene N.

Yummy and cheap. Quick service. Very no frills and lots of options. Cheaper then the sushi place next door. All the sushi was fast and fresh. Menu has many options. Service was kind as well. We had crab Rangoon, shrimp tempura, eel, Boston and spicy salmon rolls.

Ikura
Dan M.

This place was so good. I saw enough positive reviews compared to a couple (seemingly mentally unhinged) reviews, that I felt the need to interrupt my vacation to let ya'll know. The garlic butter edamame was delicious, the salmon/tuna sushi pizza was exquisite and unique, and the ikura (salmon roe) was as fresh as I've ever had. Service, price, and speed of service all awesome too. I have 6 days left here in PR , and I can't wait to try more of their offerings.

Spicy tuna crunch roll
Marlene F.

Was led here by fellow yelpers. Ordered the spicy tuna crunch roll and did not realize it had cream cheese. It was good, not as spicy as I like but they can adjust the spice level if you want. I was turned off by the cream cheese and realized a lot of sushi rolls have it. I also ordered the spicy scallop sushi and the spice was good on this but I wasn't feeling the bay scallops, had a fishy twinge to it. I did order some beef lo mein to go and that was bomb!

We were here three times during our 4 days in San Juan. It's a short drive to our hotel, and i can park at Walgreens parking lot for free and walgreen has a huge parking lot. Everytime we walked in, there is always table available, and i usually have their Japanese green tea, it's hot, but it's good for summer. I had their Udon noodles, pretty good. But their stir-fry, especially the black pepper version stir fry of Chicken or beaf, all taste so good. My husband enjoyed it so much, and every time he orders the same thing. And he wants me to make it when we get home. The service is great, owner is from Guangzhou China and the lady who always serves us also from the same area. She is super friendly. It's definately a place to eat if you are tired of local Caribbean or Puerto Rico food. Highly recommend.

Excellent Sushi place. The food is always so fresh. You notice as soon as as you pick up a roll with your chopsticks; soft and fresh. Good cocktails as well. All reasonably priced. Service is A+ as well. Limited parking in front; better to walk.

I love that you have the option to customize your sushi in so many ways. They don't have those options in LA. The service was fine. Staff was easy to talk to. The restaurant is a decent size with plenty of tables and chairs. It's conveniently located across from all the hotels and the beach. Quick beach snack! Why not ? Try the mango and rice roll. Very refreshing. And the brown sugar boba was also a hit.

great sushi, great appetizers. waiter was friendly and had awesome recommendations. we got there early at 5 pm and food came out very fast but it might've been because it was pretty empty. overall great experience, you should check it out if you're nearby. shrimp tempura appetizer was good, so were the spring rolls. i had the pinky salmon roll and it was excellent!

I'm not usually into leaving reviews unless the place is either very good/bad. Yamiko, however, is very delicious. On my trip we've come back here three times already because of how amazing the food was. Service was very quick, and very chill inside the location, some music playing but not too loud that you can't hear each other talk. Everything is just right here, my fiance and I have been very pleased with what Yamiko has to offer!

Shrimp fried rice
Sparkle P.

So we spent about a week in San Juan back in October, and one night, while walking to Walgreens, we spotted this little restaurant. By the time we got back to the resort and as the night went on, me and my roommate and I developed a taste for sushi and fried rice. So we decided to take another walk down after placing an online order. They weren't too busy, but they didn't begin to prepare the food right away, so we had to wait a little while. But once we got the food and walked back .. it was packaged well and still piping hot (I just had a shrimp fried rice) The flavors were good. The seasoning was on point and there were plenty of veggies

Riceless roll
Vivian R.

Fast service. Delicious food! Bilingual restaurant. Parking is rough in this area that the only downside. I came here two years ago and loved it. Then I had to park in Walgreens parking lot which is right behind the restaurant. This time we ubered. Also was super excited to see a priceless roll and a sushi pizza!

Shrimp and avo roll
Marla L.

Came here based on reviews, and because the restaurant we tried to get into had too long of a wait. We were seated right away. While the service wasn't super quick, it was friendly and accommodating. I was between a 3 and 4 on this one, and where I wish yelp had half stars. Had a mixed bag of food. The shrimp fried rice was ok, nothing to write home about. The chicken lo mein was really good. The cooked sushi roll we had was shrimp and avocado, pretty basic but we finished it. The fried ice cream for dessert didn't do it for me, the coating tasted like it wasn't cooked through. All in all, the place was convenient and would certainly come back in a pinch...but not necessarily a place I'd aim to go.

First of all, the description from others as to where it is confused us and had us walking all over Isla Verde looking for it.

I came to Puerto Rico wanting to stick to authentic local food, but I was convinced to try this…read morespot and I have to admit, it was surprisingly good. Parking is a bit of a downside since there isn't much available, so I had to pay for parking. Once inside, though, everything moved incredibly fast. I got my food in less than 10 minutes, which is probably the fastest I've ever been served at a restaurant. It almost made me question how fresh it was, but after eating, I can say it was actually very good. I ordered the grilled white fish with lemon and egg fried rice with yum yum sauce on the side, plus shrimp tempura sushi to go. The yum yum sauce tasted like a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, but when I mixed it with the fried rice, it was really, really good. The fish itself was tasty but needed more salt I ended up adding salt and squeezing lime over it to bring out the flavor. It seemed like it was only seasoned during marination and not finished properly. The salad wasn't anything special, but overall, for how quickly the food came out, the quality was impressive. Portions are generous, and the pricing matches what you get. We came around midnight and left close to 1 AM when they were closing. The place looked packed, but service was still quick and efficient. Our server was okay--nothing standout, but no issues either. Overall, I'd come back. Fast service, solid food, and a good late-night option.

If I could give zero stars, I would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. GET CHINESE FOOD FROM SOMEWHERE…read moreELSE. Came with a group of nine from different culture backgrounds, and unfortunately the service was a mess from the start. Our server got visibly angry when my friend asked him to repeat an answer to a menu question. The servers response was hard to understand and when asked to repeat himself he actually yelled at my friend in front of the table, snatched the menu out of his hand, and threw it onto a chair behind him. Completely unprofessional and uncomfortable for everyone. We should've left after this, but didn't because we were hungry. Only half the table was asked for drink orders, and the rest of us were given water. I flagged our server down to order a martini that never came, yet they still tried to charge me for it at the end. We waited an hour for our food and it came out at very different times (also not hot), so we weren't able to eat together. The soups were inconsistent. The miso crab soup and the regular miso were prepared differently and both lacked ingredients. We thought it was odd that the miso crab soup had noodles while the regular miso didn't. Honestly felt like a way to make up for the lack of actual crab in it. The sushi itself was disappointing, overall just subpar. I ordered the bento box and wasn't expecting fried salmon (I've never seen it prepared that way), and my food came out last after everyone else had already finished eating. Everything was bland and lacked flavor. This place clearly can't handle parties larger than four otherwise you will be cramped in a corner, and you can only split checks into a maximum of three payments, which no one told us upfront. To top it off, the server still had the audacity to ask for a tip. I had no problem telling him no and stated that we were unsatisfied with both the service and the meal. Coming from someone who works in hospitality, if I had been dining alone and not with eight other people, I would have walked out. That's how bad the experience was. Overall, not a great time and wouldn't recommend this as a restaurant to eat at. Matter of fact, try out Zhencha Boba Cafe for a better Chinese cuisine. I had it on my last trip to PR and went with a group of 6. That place didn't disappoint at all and the service was amazing. Everyone I was with spoke fluent Spanish and I'm still learning, the server was very patient.
