This place opened up just around the block from house. While I still miss the previous tenant of the place, Zaki's, Yo Sushi isn't bad. Reminds me a cheap and local Sushi House, minus the wait. It was a hit with both my parents and my in-laws, too (both Asian): convenient and affordable. We always order to go since we live so close by, so can't comment on ambience. The service is friendly and prompt. These are the large full-of-rice special rolls, the kind that can fill you up bc its like eating a bowl of white rice. They can provide low sodium soy sauce if you ask. The fish is moderate quality; you get what you pay for. Wouldn't really call it stellar or remarkably fresh sashimi, but it's manageable. There's a lot of variety, and plenty of non sushi items as well as a decent number of vegetarian rolls too. read more

As a sushi fanatic, I was very impressed by the quality and quantity of the fish for such an affordable price tag! I got the $15.95 Golden Sushi and Sashimi combo. You get to choose if you want "gold" pieces on your sushi for $4 more (what!?), but I passed on eating gold since it's all about the sushi right now haha. It came with 7 pieces of nigiri along with 8 pieces of tuna and salmon sashimi. The sashimi pieces were huge and so fresh! The salmon literally just melts in my mouth. The nigiri selection was salmon, tuna, hamachi, tako, ebi, ika, and unagi. I think my most favorite piece were the ika and hamachi! The ika was so sweet, creamy, and so delicious! However, the unagi was way too hard to chew. They can also improve on the taste and quality of the sushi rice as well, but I'm really not expecting too much for the price. Overall, pretty good first impression of this place. I will return! read more

Yo Sushi - Golden sushi sashimi combo $15.95. Comes with miso soup and salad too. What a steal!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Albany, California

Lunch special for $6.95 comes with chicken teriyaki and a California roll. It's a great deal, and pretty tasty! (11:00am-3:30pm) Will update my review after I try more dishes! read more

Yo Sushi - The lunch special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Albany, California

This was my favorite place for sushi until my order came with a side of eyelashes. I called the restaurant and they didn't seem to care. How gross is it to find hair two pieces in your food. I was disgusted and ready to throw up. I will not be spending my money at this restaurant ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great fresh sushi! Had the lion king roll with a side of edamame and a miso soup. I judge my sushi spots by the quality of the lion king roll and this spot has a great one! The lion king roll melted in my mouth, edamame had a great taste and the miso soup hit the spot. Would most definitely come again read more

I wanted different, satisfying, and savory. Sushi and teriyaki are comfort foods for me so off I went to check out Yo Sushi after many drive-by's. It is a purchase at the counter, dine in or take out set-up. Ordered the New York Roll & Mexican Roll, chicken teriyaki bowl, and hot tea; all that came out to $20.19. A pager is given to you to inform when your meal was ready. We sat on the outside patio and they kindly brought out the items as they were ready. The Mexican Roll (California roll with topped shrimp) was good but not as good as the New York Roll. Chicken teriyaki bowl is the steal. Perfect size of a delicious bowl of teriyaki chicken, rice, served with a yellow, pineapple looking pickle and an orange, carrot potato salad. The rice tea the final touch that made an absolute meal. Miso Happy! read more

Looks like a converted El Pollo Loco but good, authentic sushi inside. Missing my favorite fish (scallop), but overall a good selection of creative rolls. 2/3 rolls were properly cut in bite-sized pieces. One was a little too large. Staff was helpful and the food came out quickly. read more

Awesome value for the price! So many sushi roll options that I'm often overwhelmed (in a good way)! Salmon collar is an underrated item but I highly encourage anyone who enjoys fish (and isn't scared away by having to pick bones out as you go) to give it a try. All in all a neat spot that will consistently be at the top of my list for a few rolls to go when Im in Berkeley/Albany. read more

This yo sushi is a bit out of the way for me but it's much more nicer than the Alameda location. It has pictures of every roll in the wall. If you've been to Alameda then you know what I mean. It also has anime posters, drawings, and toys for even more decoration. I believe it's the same owner. The service is pretty fast. They have a very small lot so parking may be an issue. The food is very good and inexpensive with decent size portions. Nice spot for sushi on the go or if you want a quick bite to eat. read more

Has anyone mentioned about their boba? I had green tea boba and it was surprisingly GREAT. I didn't expect anything phenomenal since it isn't their main product, lol but I was wrong. Oh, their ramen is great too. read more

I'd give it NO stars, if I could. This was so bad, I can't even think of a word for it!! I ordered a lion king roll, a deluxe lambada roll and a hot & spicy lobster roll. Doordash was perfect, timely and efficient...... Then, I saw the food.....the worst!!! You would think with all the Covid-19 closings that they would take pride in the quality of the food for the customers still ordering.....they DO NOT!!! The rolls were sooooo small there was no way it could feed 2 people and instead of a hot & spicy lobster roll.....they sent me two horribly burnt and overcooked lion kings. No wasabi....no ginger!! No explaination!! I will NEVER order from here again!! They need to just close the doors for good. The food wasn't edible. read more

Some of the worst sushi I've ever had. Ordered delivery from here, it came on time but food was awful!

1st time customer and loved the CA roll, spicy tuna roll, kappa maki. I will be adding them to my favorites and making them a regular go-to spot. read more

Quality has really gone down. Ordered food to go for the family and on top of a mix up with them giving our order to someone else and having to wait around longer, food wasn't even worth the trouble of waiting. Not to mention the almost $65 tab for food. So not worth it. I can make better teriyaki at home. All we got was a "Whoops, sorry" and below average food. Adios-never coming back. read more

The two item special with salmon teriyaki and Saba shioyaki is absolutely delicious and well-packed. The tako sunomono is a bit less flavorful until I realized the sauce is at bottom and I need to mix them beforehand. Will order again! read more

We used to like this place but our last interaction this morning was very disappointing. We asked for vegetarian sushi and we were given sushi with crab meat in it. We asked for vegetable tempura and we were given mixed tempura (included shrimp). We didn't realize they did this until food was home in Richmond. When we called to explain what happened, they did not try to fix their mistake or apologize. They hung up on us. On receipt, clerk's name is Ken. We ordered vegetable tempura and vegetarian sushi many other times from this place. So this Ken clearly needs to be trained. read more

I've never been here before but we ordered delivery tonight. Fish is paper thin and tiny portions and the rolls have almost no flavor. Miso soup was decent but that was about it. Won't be back. read more

When I opened the bag I noticed a red substance splattered on the outside and inside of the plastic container. Could be a sauce of some kind or something worse. The clown who dished the wrinkled sushi with dryed out shrimp and California roll with some kind of shredded green things in place of Avocado should be relieved of his misery and sent back to junior high. read more

Went in last evening and a customer was present with a child. The child was masked and the adult had a mask but it wasn't covering his face. All staff were masked. When I asked the server about this, he just shrugged. They need to post a sign advising customers about the requirement to wear masks inside and not serve people who refuse to do so. Sushi is fresh and flavorful and would have given it 4 stars, but I will not return until they have taken this action. https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/face-covering-is-now-the-law/Content?oid=29564251 read more

I'm giving Yo sushi 5 stars bc everything was so fresh and tasted wonderful, everyone that works there are polite happy people. For a small place they sure do have a big menu something for everyone, I saw some pretty impressive sushi rolls too! I can't wait to try everything! Yo sushi is reasonably priced they do take to go orders, their restrooms are very clean, they do have off street parking. Go try it! read more

You will spend 30% more than you should at this average Sushi place. I get that restaurants are struggling, but this was a take-out spot to begin with, and in the last year they have raised their already inflated prices. I just spent $100 for rolls for three people, and I'm still hungry. read more

I went here for lunch and I thought it was great for the price. I would go back for lunch again. There is a happy vibe here. I haven't gone out of my way to tell anyone about this place, but I did enjoy it. 4 stars seems fair. read more

Good place for cheap-ish sushi. They have a wide variety though a lot of the base sushi rolls are the same (california roll with a topping or fried shrimp with a topping). I like a lot of variety and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of their sashimi. Their nigiri sushi is good. Good food for decently priced sushi read more

I ordered for to go. Workers are wearing a mask under their chin. During this pandemic, I am not comfortable that workers are not wearing a mask proper way. That makes me worry about another hygiene. I won't go there any more. read more

This place is okay. The sushi is fine. My main concern is the possible false advertising. I ordered the "sushi special" which, by the way it's printed on the menu, makes it LOOK like what's included costs 11.50. What it actually is is 11.50 for the CA roll + whatever they want to charge for the nigiri you pick. (4.50). I asked for salmon and only got those two pieces and then 5 of an assortment. That's not what I asked for, or initially thought I was ordering. Be mindful, folks. read more

Yo.. goodbye! I have dined here before and it was just ok. I LOVE THE ALAMEDA LOCATION!! However, being that this location is closer to my home I decided to give them another try instead of driving to Alameda. Since we decided to have sushi for dinner quite late in the evening, I decided to call in a $35 order for pick up. The staff was nice but I made a huge mistake in not looking in the bag to review the order before I left. I ordered three lion King rolls and gyoza. The rolls were the smallest I've ever seen in my life! I have seen sushi rolls in grocery stores larger than these rolls for $10 each. The salmon was under cooked and still had some of the skin on it. Gross!The gyoza was cold and I had to reheat in the microwave in order to eat it. I requested the orange sauce and was told by the employee that the new cook doesn't like orange sauce and therefore they no longer offer it as they do in the Alameda location. The eel sauce that was given to us it was disgusting! Moving forward, I will drive to the other location or simply have sushi another day. read more

Portions are very very small and not worth the price. One of my rolls was 4 pieces. The guy at the counter was not friendly.

I ordered a party platter of sushi and the quality was great. The cost was $45-50 for a small. I will order another in the future. Ps...the Asian girl at the counter is HOT! Gluck guy's!! read more

After having dozens of wonderful meals at Yo Sushi, I am disappointed to have to write a negative review. Yesterday 13 March 2017 I had supper with my girlfriend Ellen at Yo Sushi. I ordered Miso Ramen, a popular item I have enjoyed many times at Yo Sushi. Unfortunately, this time, either the Miso Ramen or one california roll I had from my girlfriend's order was laced with msg. For me, msg causes disorientation, stiffness and tingling in my neck, and some weakness. After coming home -- luckily my girlfriend was driving -- I called the restaurant and spoke with the manager. Both he and I were surprised that our food had msg. He said that he would look into the cause for the presence of msg. Until I hear back, I will have to avoid any soup type items at Yo Sushi. Tried Yo Sushi a few days later. Ordered a raw fish dish, Screaming O. Had another msg hit, less severe but definitely msg: weakness, stiffness and tingling in back of neck. Will not return. read more

If I could give this establishment a zero star I would. They can't get a simple California roll down correctly how can I trust the rest of their take outs? Rice was hard and dry with no seasoning in it and the imitation crab was bland and all you could taste was just mayo. Very disappointing and will not be returning. read more

Insulting rip-off. I have been coming to eat here for years. Over the last several months I have noticed the amount of fish they put on top of their specialty rolls get thinner and thinner. Today, the layer of fish was almost as thin as the ginger slices that come with the sushi, so in essence I paid $11 for a CA roll. I understand that times are tough, but this is ridiculous. They just lost a customer. read more
