The sushi was very fresh, my favorite was the coconut roll. The waitress seemed a little annoyed. It was chill vibes..I don't know about the 2nd serving of sriracha being 75 cents, I need the bottle.
The place is small but the service is great, very attentive. We love this place because it is Mexican and Japanese. So this place doesn't lack flavor. We got the jalapeño TNT ( not pictured) and it was the right level spice, delicious! The volcano was super creamy and delish and the Tulum was very fresh!
If you are looking for fresh, unique sushi rolls, this is the spot. A little small but mighty spot. I was craving some sushi and they definitely hit the spot!
Tried the Puerto Vallarta roll on their new Summer menu and it was delicious. The server was so sweet and energetic. Service was fast and the place is cute inside.
Serving "JapaMex" fusion, this cute standalone building is serving up some tasty creations. Stopped in for lunch and our server was attentive and very nice (wish I remembered his name)! We ordered the Dragon Roll and the Spring Roll - both were good. For what it's worth, a lot of the sushi rolls on the menu have cream cheese in them. They have a drive thru, but if you sit inside, first thing you'll see when you walk in is the chefs preparing food. Colorful art is everywhere. The restaurant's yellow color theme runs throughout the building and makes it a cheery place to grab some food.
I ordered through DoorDash and I've never been there so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. I ordered a rainbow roll and the infierno roll. Both were delicious but the infierno roll is absolutely amazing. The picante scallops give it a unique touch and I don't think I've ever had a roll like that before. Everything was fresh and delicious and I'm excited about trying more items!
Now upon arrival I was a bit taken back to see the drive though but that didn't discourage us from enjoying some very fresh sushi. It wasn't a large restaurant but they had plenty of seats. The service was sub-par but they were busy with plenty of customers and take out. The fish was fresh. Super tasty and didn't smell like fish at all. They have a huge menu so we explored. Had the frushi roll and the summer roll. The plantain on the summer roll was a pleasant surprise! But the frushi is my new favorite. Can't wait to come back!
In the Rim. Loved the taste of plantains from the sin nombre roll and the fresh cucumber taste from the pepino roll. Almost all have some cream cheese in them, but blends well. The "kani" is imitation crab. Only bottled water available; ie you can't just get a water cup. Masks required for all. No military discount. Would come back to try others.
One of the points of contention in communities is authenticity, a superfluous word if there ever was one, where people make efforts to rate a place based on preconceived notions and expectations. Yellowfish Sushi, with a location close to Wurzbach & I-10 and it's second location at Blanco @ Loop 410, has changed the concept of sushi in San Antonio from a traditionally gated and pricey dinner option to a casual affair meant for sharing and with little to no fuss. The first and smaller Wurzbach storefront, located near the Medical Center, started it all. Brenda & Alex Sarmiento, the talent behind the popular El Señor Es Mi Pastor Taco (which opened after Yellowfispot just down the street), wanted to find the same sushi environment to San Antonio from their hometown of CDMX, where sushi is a much more casual and less imposing scene. Where sushi has been seen in San Antonio as a "special" type of dinner usually reserved for date nights, graduations, or an exotic night out in the town, the Sarmiento siblings decided to bring the informal dining option, remove the prohibitive pricing, and create unique offerings fusing Mexican flavors and ingredients with Japanese led rolls. The rolls are authentic representations and an evolution of the rolls in the streets of CDMX, from the unique citrus based soy sauce freshly made every week to the Gansitos roll which combines a traditional with yes, a Gansitos roll, the ubiquitous pastelito treat you can find at any tiendita in Mexico and now in any Latino grocery store. I've had several rolls and offerings at both locations. Some of my faves: Tocino Roll - yes, the bacon tempura is dope but the thinly sliced lemon peel gives this roll an incredible kick that you'll remember. El Dorado Roll - the Tampico and Anguila sauce is a standout and the shrimp and cream cheese provide this roll with the base for that punch of a sauce. A great example of the fusion that is going on here at Yellowfish. Summer Roll - your classic prepared summer roll that is perfect for a lite bite of sushi offering; you can really taste the freshness and is a prefect take home meal to pair with a crisp cider. I really thought that through for some reason. Cevichimi - Sashimi style sushi in a more traditional ceviche style taste profile and serving, I really think this is a game changer even though once you try it it's pretty obvious how this concoction hasn't been made before. It's a wonderful combo of flavors that really pop. Salmon Japarrito - innovation doesn't mean everything always hits at 100. this "burrito" is a mouthful for sure and when you drench it in their homemade citrus based soy sauce it's a winner; I just wanted a bit more salmon but otherwise it's good. Yellowfish Roll - the namesake roll lives up to its bestowed honor with its flavored packed combo of picante shrimp, cilantro, habanero infused caviar, and their signature Salsa Roja, it's a great introduction to JapaMex cuisine here! Gansito Roll - the intro hits but the finale shuts it down... a Gansito is wrapped in rice and prepared with fresh strawberries and chocolate syrup. It's delicious and shows a more whimsical approach for desert. I'm not even a quarter of the way in trying the rolls but you can tell much of the menu has been carefully thought out and the pairings aren't gimmicks or creations for the sake of creation; instead, Yellowfish, in adopting two culturas to make a new one, and have created something amazing that frankly is a better experience than either cuisine on its own. Additionally, the reasonable pricing and causal environment is an exciting opportunity for San Antonio folks to approach sushi from a different perspective. I highly recommend you head out there and get some. Pro Tip: the Gansito Roll is (sometimes) not a menu item but can be made by request. I'm not sure how Brenda or Alex are gonna feel about me posting about it but hopefully they went to La Michocana and picked up a few boxes. Order it!
My favorite sushi spot. Point blank period! They are always very fast and efficient. The restaurant itself is cute n tiny great for intimate dining. Ive been getting the special trays more often since it comes with 5 different rolls and two appetizers. So good!
By the way, just stick to the Isak Roll. One of my favorites was also the Chio Roll. Idk what happened but the one I got today was not great, like, at all. The service was great though! The person assisting me is always nice. And once I got to the restaurant to pick up my order, the ambiance was great, like always. Also left smelling like sushi, like always, but it's part of the experience. One thing I forgot to mention is that they like to switch up the rolls included in your order, sometimes you'll get 10 slides of sushi, another times you'll get 6 slides. (Today I got 6, I hope you can appreciate that in the picture, I just ate 3 pieces, leaving the other 3 pieces out of the 6). Still love the restaurant and the employees. But I just probably will stick to the Isak roll from now on, it always states amazing, and I get the slides of sushi the price resembles.
Sadly, I was very disappointed in the meal ordered from Yellowfish Sushi. I ordered the poke bowl with their rojo sauce and vinegar soy sauce. Both of them came in their containers, separately wrapped. The poke bowl was a half and half deal with zucchini noodles and sushi rice. I am fairly new to poke bowls, but they have become an obsession, so I eat them regularly. Therefore, I am thankful that this wasn't my first bowl because I don't think I would have ever had poke bowls again. The tuna smelled and had an extremely fishy taste. The sauces did not add to the flavor of the bowl at all. In fact, after a couple of bites, I could no longer continue and my almost $14 dollars ended up in the trash. It was very distasteful. Which is sad, because I have previously had sushi at this place and have enjoyed it very much. This meal was just unacceptable. Definitely not up to previous standards.
I was Leary of "japamex" at first but let me tell ya. I was wrong. The blend of Mexican flavors and sushi is amazing and they have the viral Push pop sushi rolls too!!!! Very small place with a little dining room but I think that adds to the appeal. Very nice staff, fair pricing and omg delicious rolls. Ranks right up there with any sushi I've had in San Antonio and I consider myself a sushi snob. We had a wide variety of rolls and none of the were a miss. Don't hesitate to come here and splurge a bit It's a solid place. read more

San Antonio, DO NOT sleep on this place! I had no idea that a Japanese/Mexican fusion could be this amazing, but I am absolutely floored by how good this place is. The Yellowtail Sashimi was some of the freshest and tastiest we've ever had. The Poke Bowl was extremely delicious and beautifully presented. Lastly, the Jalasquillo Roll was, and this is not hyperbole, the single best sushi roll I've ever tried. 10/10. I wish I took pictures before I started, but please do not be fooled by the unassuming exterior of the restaurant, it is completely worth the trip. read more

Came here for the first time the other week and was very impressed. The servers were friendly, the menu's extensive, and the sushi was fresh and flavorful. We started with the miso soup and spicy edamame, and ordered a few sushi rolls (sorry - can't remember which). The parking lot was a little small and awkward, but they have a drive-thru pick-up window which is very convenient. Apparently they also own El Pastor Es Mi Senior - a taco shop that was featured on the Netflix series 'Taco Chronicles Cross the Border - would love to try. read more

Sushi for my birthday! What more could a lady ask for! I was very impressed with the variety on the menu. They tale classics and mix them up. Apparently this place has a reputation for people who live and work in the Medical Center... I mentioned it to a few different colleagues after the fact and they all knew where I was talking about and all had good things to say... We loved everything we tried and will definitely be going back. Everything was chock full of flavor and ingredients and was so fresh! The tacos were a little tricky to eat because mine fell apart. But all tacos fall apart and we still love them. Pickup was a breeze. We ordered online. My husband went through the drive-thru and was in and out. They sent plenty of soy sauce and chopsticks. read more

This is the 3rd time we've been to this place. It is not he easiest to see on the street when you are trying to drive by since it's not right on the road. It does have a small parking lot around it though not a lot of spaces we never had any issues parking. I loved their seared salmon and all their hand rolls (they call it Japanese tacos haha). Seared salmon (nigiri or sashimi) are not on the menu but you can order it with the chef (since they do have seared/torched other menu items), they are exquisite. The hand rolls are also stuffed with ingredients! Last but not least, if you order the green tea icecream they give you 3 huge scoops, unlike some other stores who only give you a tiny mini-scoop. Waiters and waitresses are always friendly and pleasant. Definitely will come back if in the area. Keep up the good work Yellowfish! read more

I ordered the Urbano roll and my friend got the El Dorado roll. The Urban and El Dorado were delicious but I preferred the Urbano. I love fried sushi. The food took about 30 minutes longer than it was supposed to but the employees made up for it by giving me a chilerito and miso soup. Their customer service was great. The chilerito was amazing. I was very pleasantly surprised. The deep fried tempura jalapeño filled with cream cheese really made the burrito amazing. The salsa roja that comes with it is very good with the burrito. Overall it is a perfect flavor combination. read more
Yummmmmy Of the sushi I only eat their unagi so I can only comment on that. It's delicious. I also like their tnt series ....specifically the mushroom version. Friendly staff. Small eating area. I guess it's a home in the wall. It's really good and near the medical center. read more

We noticed this little spot while driving around one day. My partner decided to stop and pick us up some sushi on his way home from a meeting nearby. The quality of the fish was very good and a good quantity for the price. We had the rainbow roll and a chirashi. He ordered in person and said the food was ready to go very quickly. read more

My fav spot for the best tasting sushi in town! Servers are friendly and knowledgeable if you aren't familiar with the menu and wanting to try something new. Thank you :) read more
Yellowfish is my ALL TIME FAV place to go to in San Antonio. I always get the chirashi, which is assorted fish over rice and it does NOT disappoint! If you check in on Yelp, you can get a free miso soup! The restaurant is kinda small with about 10 tables. They have a mixture of high top and low top tables. Their parking lot is a bit small too Yes, they are friendly Yes, they are fast. Yes, they have a restroom. Yes, you should try this place. And yes, you'll enjoy your food. So quit reading this review and click directions to Yellowfish. read more
By far one of the most unique and low key places we tried in SA. When I saw this place offered Japanese and Mexican fusion dishes, I was instantly intrigued. Coined Japamex. We came in a little before closing on a Monday night and were greeted right away. The inside is modern, bright and very artsy. The menu is one page front and back but has a ton of options, we were pleasantly overwhelmed. Our waitress made some great recommendations. The menu is conveniently organized into categories: raw rolls, cooked rolls, baked rolls and fried rolls. This made is very easy to navigate. I had the ceviche roll, philly hand roll and a fried plantanos dessert. The fish was extremely fresh, the rolls were tasty and and while it was hard to choose, the ceviche roll was a great recommendation. I haven't seen too many rolls with crawfish! I forgot what roll my friend had, but she enjoyed it. The sashimi was beautifully presented and yummy according to my guest! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking to a twist to your traditional sushi spot! Go Japamex! I hope to return on my next trip! read more
The food here and service was excellent! We ordered the Philly roll and Cali roll and both were delicious. The only disadvantage I can find is that this place is a bit hard to get into with high traffic in this area, and it's a bit small. You might miss it if you are not paying close attention. There are only a few tables. But it's great for take out orders. The staff greeted me with smiles and helped me promptly. The prices were reasonable and the food was generous. I would definitely come back for take out orders in the future. read more
