I come here frequently as I like the rolls they offer for a decent price. The food isn't always consistent. Some days I like my rolls better than others. But I keep coming back because it's overall a solid sushi spot with quick service that scratches the itch for sushi. read more

We went for lunch on a Sunday. It wasn't too crowded and there were plenty of seats. The wakame udon was the perfect size for me. I was full but didn't feel stuffed. Very happy. read more

Very disappointed with tonight's meal. The tempura, the miso and the spider roll were all substandard. We've been coming to the Albany, CA, shop for years and the food was always consistently good, but not this time. We're never going back. read more

Did a takeout lunch from Yo Sushi and overall, it was a positive experience. The gyoza were deep fried and had a savory meat and veggie filling with a standard light soy-based dipping sauce. All of the rolls included fresh tasting fish and vegetables, and they were carefully presented. The lemon salmon roll was one of our favorites combining salmon and thinly sliced lemon over California roll. The spicy tuna roll was seasoned well but could have been spicier for our taste. The cherry blossom roll also included flavorful tuna, and the negi-hama roll had succulent hamachi. The rice quality was 3.5 and the service miss was not including any soy sauce, utensils or napkins. However, we look forward to trying them again. read more

The place has a large selection of rolls ! Probably t he largest selection I have seen compared to other alameda sushi spots. With that, I have to say this place is great for a variety of unique and fun rolls if you're in the mood f or that! Everything was fresh and prices range from $12-20 which isn't bad for 2023 prices. I was able to order the lunch bento on a Weekend which is a plus . The service was quick ! Considering there was only 1 waitress covering all tables when I was there. There are tables inside and outside the restaurant. I highly recommended this place. read more

The fish here is fresh, and they have excellent combination meals. We usually time our visits to be able to get the $12 lunch special, which happens only from 11am to 3:30pm on Monday - Friday. This is a quiet place. You will always get a seat. You order at the counter and then they bring you your food at your table. So its pretty casual. Not a date spot, more of a lunch spot for the workers in Marina Village's office building. One person in our party had a fish allergy. They ordered gyoza and either the gyoza or the dipping sauce had undisclosed fish in it. I had to dock a star for this. Parking is ample right out front. This place sits in a strip mall. read more

The Awesome rolling had was soooo good. They taste fresh ingredients. The staff is so polite . Good customer service!

On Thursday, Aug 20th, I felt like having something different for lunch. I skimmed thru the Yelp reviews, and what could I get delivered fast in Alameda. The answer is......Sushi. Yes, I know......takeout Sushi is not how you're supposed to enjoy this delicacy. But Covid-19 has changed things. Restaurants need to survive, Yelpers gotta eat, and Doordash keeps making offers. So I place an order at 11am, and it arrived in 30 mins. Good job! I'm no expert on sushi, and I actually don't eat it too much anymore. So I just ordered what I like...... Dragon, California, and Tempura Rolls My takeout order arrived in 2 containers. The presentation was nice and neat. It showed someone cared to serve quality food. I liked it, they were good. I actually might order again, since they make it so easy to place an order. Enjoy! read more

*** YO SUSHI IS OPEN *** Elevating my 3-star review from 6 years ago to 4 stars mainly for the variety of sushi rolls....nothing fancy or authentic about this place, but consider it high-end, fast food sushi. Prices very reasonable with a variety of options...picture and names of the rolls posted on the wall for ease of ordering. Definitely a regular for lunch as it's convenient and quick: = DRAGON ROLL - shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, topped with unagi = UNA TEN (similar to a dragon roll) - without the avocado and cucumber = POKI ROLL with seaweed salad = LION KING - salmon, mayo and torched...when i first visited they were sloppy with missing the pin bones from the salmon but way improved now Basically, I like any roll without that imitation 'crab meat'...never been a fan...but of course the coworkers love it and get the Californian Roll to Yo Nacho which is crab salad, dollop of spicy tuna on a fried wonton skin. Hmmm...yeah a fave for them! Yo Sushi also offers appetizers and bentos which are a hit or miss for me so I stick with the rolls. Located in the Lucky's shopping center to the left after exiting the Webster Tube...plenty of lot parking and set up for take out only. read more

First time here, Thanks Phil A for the check-in yesterday. Crystal assisted me and I ordered a Lion King Roll, requested it well done and OMG, sooooo delicious. I also ordered CA Roll and Tempura roll. I requested light rice for all rolls and that was actually the case for the Lion King, too much rice in CA roll and Tempura was okay on the rice tip. I enjoyed each of the rolls, again Lion King is my favorite and I completely loved the flavors and surely appreciated the price. I will most definitely return, I've already mentioned this spot to Mom and she's ready to go. Thanks for being so polite Crystal, I'll see you again soon! read more

I usually love Yo- sushi. They have decent sushi at decent prices but today I was sort of grossed out. I ordered my usual Giant Roll (shrimp tempura, cucumber, with white tuna on top with green onions). Instead of being one nice piece of fresh tuna there were several tiny pieces that had, what looked like skin on the bottom which had been partially cooked. It seemed like they just stuck leftover end pieces of tuna in the roll. Super disappointed. Quality was definitely lacking. read more

Always a hit for me! Got the Yo Shashimi Combo, as it comes with 4 types of fish, a bowl of rice and a bowl of miso soup. This isn't my first time going there, as the service is always good and food is always on point. I was craving sushi and this was super good. They also sell Korean ice cream - specifically Melona banana and strawberry! read more

Yo Sushi - Yo Shashimi Combo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alameda, California

We've lived in the Bronze Coast since 2009 and despite the sushi spots around our area, we still make the drive to Marina Village to get our sushi fix for a decent price. Staff has rotated over the years. But it's still a perfect hole in the wall sushi place we can call home. The food is fine, the waitstaff is usually on point and polite, and the price is reasonable. I go with the wife and kids and we stay with the usual order, occasionally mixing it up a bit (not by much). Chicken Katsu Edamame Miso soup x 2 Tempura roll Spider Lemon salmon Combo tempura (comes with rice) We come back because it's casual and consistent. Food would go 4, but the memories I have with my family bumps to 5. read more

To be quite honest, I was a bit skeptical about coming here. I am a bit judge-y when it comes to the name of the restaurant and the fact that the photos appear to be walls of what the sushi rolls look like. But I WAS craving sushi. My boyfriend and I decided to share sushi rolls, rather than get any of the noodle or bento box options. Between the two of us, we shared five rolls. The restaurant wasn't very busy, as they were less than an hour from closing, and I was delighted when the rolls were presented on a very nice sushi boat. Each roll looked and tasted distinctly different (other than these two rolls, which we didn't quite remember). The fish was pretty good quality and fresh. The servers were very sweet and allowed us to take our time. All-in-all, it was a great spot and I would definitely like to come again. read more

Yo Sushi - Such nice presentation - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alameda, California

Yoooo this place has good sushi. That's it. Close to work. Plenty parking. Many rolls to choose from (see picture), a whole wall covered to choose from. At first I was taken aback by the so-so service when we walked in. Wasn't busy at 2 pm on a Friday. No hello or good afternoon, just a..... "for here or Togo?" (For here) "water or no water?" (Water please). Seemed bothered by our presence. That rubbed me the wrong way but the food overpowered the service. Anyways... I chose the lunch pick two combo and upgraded the California roll to the fantasy roll which was crab, tuna and avocado and special sauce deep fried to a goodness. The waitress who brought it out was a tad nicer. I would come back for a quick lunch or take out when I need my sushi fix. 3.5 stars. read more

I came in solo and it was my first time there. Was seated quickly by a tall gentleman. There was a young lady at the register. It wasn't too busy but it wasn't slow either. I decided on food and pushed my menu away from me, waiting for someone to take my order. About 5 - 10 mins went by and the same young lady is still at the register and didn't give me any acknowledgment. I ended up ordering with her at the register, at that point i just wanted to eat so I can leave. Not once did anyone came by my table to check on things. And I witnessed and over heard the employees taking other customers order at their table. Again, I waited for some acknowledgment, and got nothing. I asked for a Togo box and checked out at the register. The server(s) didn't deserve a tip in my opinion. Most likely won't dine in again. But the food is good. Service really sucked @ss! read more

Goal: try every sushi place in alameda with my son in a structured and analytical way. Same order, same criteria. Order Template: Miso soup Sake nigiri Cali roll (real crab if possible) Hamachi Maki Dragon roll Open slot for special/recommendation Criteria: Food of course Service Friendly to kids Price ------- Miso was good, no issues not special or remarkable but good. Cali was fine. Hamachi maki was very good as was the nigiri sake. Dragon roll was good. Their Rec was monkey roll which had a weird sweetness to it. Nothing wrong was fine. They also had Asian ice creams (Korean?) which were super fun and unique. Overall food was well above average. So far so good! Service - we did the walk up and order. It came out quickly. It's not a super fancy place but clean. Typical for the area in the marina village. Friendly to kids, sure. Price was very affordable. I guess it really depends what you are looking for. Pick up or a less expensive option that checks all the boxes. SOLID. The type of place you can every Wednesday and know it'll always be good. Wish I could do 4.5 stars. Recommend! read more

This place checks enough boxes for me to be a repeat customer. Here are some of the highlights: 1. Their online ordering is fast and efficient. 2. Parking is easy. 3. Food taste/quality to price ratio is solidly a plus. 4. My wife (who is more picky than I am) likes this place. 5. There's plenty of seating to be socially distanced from other parties. Enjoy Yo Sushi! read more

I have to start it off with this. This rating may change after I try their sushi. I have only eaten their ramen and this tofu rice one of which I can't recall the name. How did I wind up here for some ramen? Well, my go to spot was closed. I didn't want to drive further out to find any. So I went to the one closest to my job. It wasn't that busy. I was attended to right away, made my order, and was told it would be a 15 minute wait. 15 minutes later: I got my ramen and tofu wrap with rice meal to go. - ramen noodles were extra starchy - soup was too salty - pork was okay but could have used extra seasoning - in all totally underwhelming The two tofu and rice rolls I got were pretty good. Loved how soft it was. I always seem to find these good no matter where I am. I would say an easy 3/5 read more

I can't believe I've lived in the neighborhood for so long and never tried this spot. The food is delicious! Mama bear had Agadashi tofu, I had gyoza, and for our entrees we had a sashimi bento box and a bowl of spicy ramen. We ate like royalty, met the kindest, sweetest server, and walked back to our car completely full for only $55. Amazing spot, great vibes. Huge value. We're definitely coming back soon! read more

Been going here for years, will always love getting food from here. One of the main reasons why I like picking this place over the several Japanese restaurants in Alameda is because of the extensive menu. I do appreciate having an abundance of options. While some of the classic rolls are good, the creativity and selection is what makes this place the clear winner for me. Yesterday, I went and the waitress we had was great and super nice. She gave great recommendations and knew the menu well enough to pick out my friend's new favorite roll. Ambiance wise this place has always stayed the cute and small sushi shop with and happy and welcoming environment. If you have a guest who loves sushi and want something new and interesting definitely bring them here. read more

Solid choice for a dizzying array of sushi rolls, generous sashimi, and other delicious Japanese fare. I'm mostly a takeout customer, which is tricky business here on Yelp due to Yelp's deceptive pricing model. Select takeout on Yelp and it says "no fees." OK, sure. But then you're steered to a menu where the prices are more than 20% higher compared to Yo Sushi's Website or ordering over the phone. That's just wrong, and Yo Sushi's complacency in these shenanigans keeps them out of 5-star territory. This isn't to say that the convenience of staying on Yelp isn't worth something (though something less than 20% to be sure). It's just offensive to be tricked into thinking they're offering something for free when they're really not. read more

Lots of great sushi options around the island. If you want a quick and cheap sushi fix, this is the place for you. I've been going to this Yo Sushi location for the last five years and it has never failed me! I visited three days ago. Staff was super friendly. Everyone was wearing masks, social distancing, sanitizing- all the good stuff. Boyfriend and I shared the following rolls: Spicy Tuna - I prefer no cucumber inside, but I forgot to ask! Lemon Salmon - Has always been one of my favorite rolls! Sometimes called a 49er Roll. Island - I do like Sushi House's Island Roll a little better, but this one comes very close. Black Hole - I used to order this one all the time before! Love the cream cheese inside. Still just as good. No complaints here. So yummy and filling! read more

Good Sushi is hard to come by, especially at a good price! Initially, my coworker and I were trying to go somewhere else, but the parking was a nightmare so we ended up going here and ordering to-go. The to-go service is very slow, I wished I had ordered ahead of time and just gone in to pick it up, but fortunately we had a pretty big window of time to work with, so it wasn't a huge issue. I'm not used to to-go orders taking longer than 30 minutes; but they were busy and in the middle of a lunch rush, so maybe going at a different time would be ideal. They have a huge selection for rolls! And their specials selection is not a bad deal at all. They even have poke bowls in addition to rolls, ramen, and more! ( including boba!) I was surprised by how inexpensive the food was, because normally rolls cost upwards of $12, and mine were under $10. I ended up getting the Marina Roll and the Airforce Roll; needless to say, they were amazing and super filling. They have a lot of meat to them, and aren't too heavily filled with rice, which is nice. Take a to-go menu if you plan to order out, because you'll need time to decide what you want! read more

Very chill place to sit and have a quick lunch. Huge selection of rolls with a picture menu and they actually list all the ingredients.

I was trying to drive to a burger place in Oakland and ended up passing through a tunnel into Alameda so my boyfriend did a quick search on Yelp and we ended up here. I wasn't sure what to make of this place. It's in a quiet plaza, parking is abundant, and their menu is quite extensive. We ordered their calamari, spider hand roll, Chirashi, and tempura udon. Food sort of took a while to come out, but it did come out piping hot so that was a good plus. Their udon was lacking in flavor in the broth and they added a deep fried pepper into the tempura plate so everything else just tasted like pepper to me. The spider hand roll was good, though, and my boyfriend seemed to enjoy his chirashi. Overall, it's a decent option if you're in the area. read more

I really love this place. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, delivery is the only option. I asked for wasabi and specified how much soy sauce I desired. They sent me less than I desired. The reason I specified is the last time I ordered, I only received one packet of soy sauce for this many rolls. Maybe not everyone wants wasabi, but they send this for my 4 rolls? It's frustrating when restaurants cut corners on things like this. I spent $100, I can't have my extra wasabi and soy sauce? It's a little thing but sometimes, it's the little things. I have had this experience every time I've asked for extra sauce or something. Add a charge for extra rather than not honoring the customers request. UPDATE: After I received my order, I saw my soup was spilled and then I found this piece of plastic in it. read more
