The servers were very kind and polite. The restaurant offers an adequate amount of tables but no parties larger than 6 from the looks of it. It's clean and has a lot of random pictures on the wall. I attempted to order the 3 way combo teriyaki bowl but was informed they were out of beef? Unfortunate, but decided to get double the chicken. The chicken was extremely bland, non seasoned and bone dry. The sauce seeped into the rice, which I don't mind. The salad was somehow dry but soggy. I think I would be willing to try their sushi, it seems like people have a more positive experience with that.
My dogs' vet is in the same complex as Yo Sushi, I went over a decade ago so not sure if it is the same ownership/management. One Saturday afternoon I was in the area and I decided to give them a try. At sushi places I like to order a Chirashi, which is mixed raw fish/sashimi over seasoned sushi rice. It came with a soup and salad. The staff brought it out in a reasonable amount of time. The Chirashi was good, the fish was fresh and it was presented well. It was a reasonable price of sushi, I would be suspicious about super cheap sushi and especially raw fish. I had it with a Sapporo beer which really hit the spot. There were people ordering takeout and there was seating inside. I dined in. There are lot of sushi restaurants in the area, but since I already come here when taking my dogs to the vet, maybe I'll work a lunch break into my plans.
The sushi here is good, but I question the cleanliness. If the bathroom door is any indication, we should be worried about the sanitary conditions in the kitchen. There's no excuse for filth in a restaurant. It's just pure laziness.
First time for late lunch Isolated and quiet even though it's close to the road Clean and simple layout, pretty pictures, themed Rice was seasoned and sashimi was really good Portions fairly portion for its price Service was quick and friendly Will be coming back
I came here for lunch and ordered the two-item special lunchbox. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed after spending nearly $23 on food that tasted stale and old. The spider roll was extremely dry and unappetizing, almost as if it had been sitting out for a day or two. I couldn't even finish the meal. This used to be one of my go-to lunch spots, but after this experience, I've definitely lost confidence in the quality. Honestly, I feel like I deserve a refund for the meal.
Came here for lunch. Got the chicken teriyaki lunch special and it was okay for the price. It would've been nice if they were sliced bigger. The service is friendly. The ambiance is casual with music in the background. Maybe will give this place a try again to try the other sushi rolls.
We got takeout from this restaurant, and it is definitely one of the more underwhelming restaurants I've been to. To start, we got 2 bento's. One bento had a much larger plop of rice and had edamame. The other was barely 5 bites of rice and mo edamame. Both bento's had chicken and was bland and dry, no char whatsoever. The beef is really really.... REALLY bad. One of the worst I've had. It's paper thin, and virtually no salt or seasoning. And for 17-18 dollar bento's, it is a very small quantity of food. I've been to higher quality Japanese restaurants that charge nearly the same price, but quality of the beef is real sirloin steak. The maki is decent, but everything else we had was a huge disappointment. I'm compelled to write this because I was hungry and Japanese food is my favorite cuisine but this didn't sit well... And I'm still hungry.
This is a pretty cool sushi restaurant with a huge sushi roll menu. The largest I have ever seen IMHO. Its location though seems a little isolated and business seems to be slow for the lunch hour even though service was pretty fast and professional. Parking is more than ample. We ordered a poke bowl, miso soup, Tataki sashimi appetizer, edamame, a couple of maki rolls (I forgot what was ordered) and a kani sunomono appetizer. The restaurant itself was fairly simple with lots of picture of the maki rolls on the wall. I think it is a nice restaurant to visit at least once. The only item we ordered that was subpar was the miso soup which is normally true for many Japanese restaurants.
Not bad not bad. We were hungry after some ding few hours at the park and the beach and this was place was one of the very few open after 3pm and close to where we were so we gave it a try. Very casual place, family friendly and also budget friendly. We ordered a bunch of rolls and a cold sake. Our 5 year old had a blast enjoying different rolls :) Service was friendly and relatively fast. Kudos!
Eating delivery sushi from here made me super sick. I woke up in the middle of the night from stabbing stomach pains, and spent the whole next day miserable in bed recovering. I got a Chirashi bowl delivered, and at least half the pieces in it were... suspect. Not fishy tasting necessarily, but the sushi had a texture that fish shouldn't have. Some of the pieces were stretchy and gummy. Others were tough and chewy. I ate half and tossed the other half because it was so unappetizing. I should have thrown all of it away, because getting food poisoning wasn't worth it. Not recommended. read more

Beef teriyaki, sure more like gross beef jerky. Don't waste your money here it's not great. Gyoza had a sweet type juice style dipping sauce, not the traditional kind that tastes wonderful. Hard future PASS read more

Was in Alameda for business and had to stop in to one of my fav sushi spots while there. Yo sushi is a simple, counter service sushi joint, with a huge menu to satisfy every sushi fan's tastes. What we had: Alien Brain - spicy tuna wrapped in avocado with spicy mayo sauce on top Lemon Salmon roll Salmon teriyaki lunch special The verdict: Alien brain- well this is one of my fav things here, so I have to get it every time! Was delish as usual! Lemon Salmon Roll- simple and yummy! Chicken Teriyaki lunch special- california roll was good, chicken was a bit dry. If you are looking for a no frills sushi spot with good prices, and a chill vibe- give Yo sushi a try!! read more

We found Yo Sushi on a whim when searching for food allergy safe sushi. We are so glad we found Yo Sushi and their amazing staff and service. We have come to them for quick lunches and long lunches and they have been great at accommodating gluten-free and shellfish allergies and even with catering they make sure our staff all have options. It's a simple, quick service restaurant that offers great eats at affordable prices. Their catering is done fantastically and they accommodate special allergy needs and are simply amazing. Can't rave enough. read more

SASHIMI- delicious sashimi from Yo Sushi. I always get the salmon and yellowtail . Yo Sushi has always been my go to spot they always serve fresh fresh fish. We ordered by phone and the order was ready in ten minutes . We walked in and they are following all Covid protocols with hand sanitizer and social distancing! Customer service is great and they really are consistent. Highly recommend them read more
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
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
*** 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
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
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 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
Ended up here because we needed a place with a parking lot to exchange large objects between vehicles. It was a pleasant surprise. Excellent quality and variety, low prices and friendly staff. I'd go back even without the parking lot. 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

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

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
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
