Unagi Don

My last minute dinner. So good chief & all the employees are so friendly & helpful. All I can say is come on down & eat at Yo Sushi & jus enjoy your time & meal here or take out. Enjoy everyone

This place always hits the spot !!! I usually get the 3 dish lunch special which is more than enough & a good value !! It went up to $19.95 & the 2 dish went up to $16.95 ! My dining partner got the unagi ‍ over rice Service is always quick, efficient & attentive & always refilling hot tea !! Sounds elevated when busier but never too loud !!

Salmon Sashimi App
Andy G.

Was craving Japanese today so we decided to try Yo Sushi for lunch. I ordered salmon belly sashimi for appetizer and the chirashi don bowl for my lunch entree. Wife order the 2 item lunch of tonkatsu and gyoza. Both lunch specials came with salad and miso soup. Everything was delicious and fresh! My salmon belly sashimi melted in my mouth and the chirashi bowl had so many slices of assorted tender and buttery slices of fish along with yummy tobiko over flavorful sushi rice. Both my wife and I were full and satisfied. Would definitely recommend this spot for some amazing Japanese food! The servers and staff were all very nice as well!

Craving sushi and this was the first recommended place by Yelp. But, my wife was a bit hesitant due to the number of reviews. After looking into the reviews, they were all great and positive. We curated our food items to order, called over the phone, the host that helped us said it would be 40 minutes. We picked up the food and were surprised with the quality. The restaurant looked like your typical Japanese spot; updated and clean. The reviews lived up to expectations! Rolls were a great size, fish was fresh, generous portions throughout. Will be our go to spot moving forward when we don't wanna drive 20+ minutes for sushi!

Teriyaki chicken plate
Marylouise R.

New spot in town. We ordered to go and the food was packed very well. The food was very good. Usually food looses some of the umph on the drive... but the food stayed fresh and tasty, even the gyoza stayed crispy. We ordered the Lion King Roll, CA roll, golden gate roll and a teriyaki chicken plate. All of it was tasty!

A new go-to / to-go place for us in town when craving for some Japanese food. Always hits the spot & definitely cures the craving! The service is always pleasant and everyone there is always welcoming. Been there about 4X already and that I could definitely say is very consistent. Place is clean, no funky smell and that tells you that your food made the proper way.

I have been to the Yo Sushi in Albany, but this was my first time at the Pinole restaurant. My son ordered takeout and I went to pick it up. The restaurant is very clean and welcoming with Christmas lights and decorations. The service was very warm and welcoming. They even served me tea while I waited for my order. They were busy with orders for takeout and a few tables were occupied. Our takeout order of sushi came in a to go platter which was very nice. We got a large assortment of sushi and they were all tasty. I will have to try some of the other items on the menu. I would say Yo Sushi is a place to order takeout and having a casual Japanese dinner. I forgot to mention that there isn't a bar for sushi.

Wanted sushi that was close to home. Found it !! Restaurant had one other patron and a couple were placing orders to go Service was quick and easy. The menu is pretty extensive with reasonable prices and items for everyone. We ordered the golden gate, San Pablo Ave, spicy tuna and awesome rolls. All were delicious. The addition of red onion seemed to cut the richness of the rolls, while also adding a nice flavor and crunch. I had the seaweed salad, not as sweet as I'm used to but it was good. They offer you hot tea and water while you wait. Nice restaurant in what has always been a hot dog spot. Very nicely done with jazz playing and closed caption tv with sushi restaurants on.

Nov 7 2025 what they call Chirashi (L)
Chad P.

Nov 7 2025 1pm We finally stopped in for a sit down meal. The wait staff are sweet and the food presentation was awesome. I posted a couple of eye popper videos. Considering the times I feel like you get a good bang for your buck here. I'm looking forward to them getting their alcoholic beverage license. The only negative for me is the volume of the music they play. It may be turned up to mask the street noise but better to have more low volume speakers spread around than what seemed to be one loud one. Makes it hard to hold a conversation.

Shooting Star Spicy
Carlos S.

Updating last review to add a star back. Phone orders ensures my order is right and the estimated time of pick up is more accurate. Food is still delicious and packed well (props to the waitress/cashiers for packing my order as requested)!!

Excited about my Shooting Star roll
Donna T.

Stopped in for an early dinner shortly after opening and was seated immediately. Cute vibrant little space to grab Japanese and sushi. Our damage: *Shooting Star Spicy roll: my favorite of all of them! Flavorful with great textures from the crispy shrimp and buttery fish. *Ichiban roll: love Hamachi and this one had fresh flavors with the avocado since it isn't covered in sauce. *Deluxe Crispy: tasty and I appreciated the fresh toppings of radish and crab to counter the crispy components Really generous portion sizes and great value with the affordable prices. Would try a location closer to me since there's a few stores (though this might be the only sit down location) Solid!

Menu as of 8/28/25

Yay another sushi spot in my hood! Although it's a chain, I was pretty impressed with the Yo Sushi that opened up in Pinole. I've been to the Vallejo one when I was younger and though it seemed like "takeout sushi" it was my quick fix for my sushi craving. Location is in a small plaza on San Pablo Ave in downtown Pinole. Small cute modern resto with very nice staff and very tasty rolls! The menu was pretty extensive - appetizers, sushi, bento boxes, udon/ramen. Hope they add green tea ice cream in the future. I ordered 2 rolls- they were delicious and aesthetically appealing. Their sushi chefs are Highly recommend the following: -Starry Night - shrimp tempura, crab, avocado, salmon and lemon slices -Ichiban- yellowtail, unagi, avocado, cucumber Prices were decent (cheaper and bigger than the rolls at the Happy Ramen and Sushi spot down the street) and the service was prompt. The owners/staff were working hard and hope this place sticks around. I want to try the more rolls, soups and bento boxes!

cherry blossom roll (to go)
Jhanelle C.

I placed an order online for a quick dinner pick-up. The place was very busy on a Friday, so it was a good call-- the roll was yummy & I would definitely get it again! One of my favorite go-to places for a take out dinner. The restaurant is small so I wouldn't really want to eat there, def would recommend for more of a takeout spot!

Then I went outside to wait & he beckoned me in & he served me my noodles in a bowl @ a table w/ ice water !!! So nice & thoughtful !! My veggie noodle bowl included broccoli, shitake mushroom, Napa cabbage, tofu, carrot, seaweed in a light tasty broth w/soba noodles !! A great value @ $13 !!!!! It was closed for that "Asian Siesta" Break from 2:30 -5:00 so it was just the 2 owners eating their lunch & me - no music, no lights no other people !! ( This restaurant has always been kind & thoughtful - when I'd bring in my elderly aunt they would offer her scissors to cut her sushi & gently aid her unstable walking !!! ) Plus they have the most inexpensive veggie bento lunch for $11 ( miso, salad, rice, agedashi tofu & veggie potstickers !!! ) My fave old school neighborhood Japanese restaurant !!!

They always take such good care of me! My go-to order is the combination wonton soup, and here's a little tip: if you're sick, ask for a couple of tea bags to take home! One thing people often overlook is their lunch special. It's a LOT of food for the price! Dine in if you can, because you get free soup, which you miss out on when ordering takeout. Honestly, I've never had a bad dish here! Some of my favorites are the honey walnut prawns, house chow mein, house fried rice, beef with broccoli, and sweet-and-sour chicken. You really can't go wrong! They also just remodeled the place, and it looks fantastic! The food, the service, and the comforting, homey atmosphere keep me coming back. This place has been a favorite of mine for years, and I can't recommend it enough!

The happy hour menu is limited, but it features a fair selection of rolls. I personally only had the Crunch Roll, which was about $3 off on happy hour Miso Soup: The soup was nothing special. A little bit too salty for me, but otherwise was alright. California Crunch Roll: I really enjoyed this a lot. It's their california roll but with the sauce and crunchy flakes on top. The rolls itself were delicious and plentiful and the happy hour pricing was a plus for me. Dinner Bento: The salad was good, and I really liked the dressing. The veggie tempura were fried correctly and the tempura sauce was alright. The rice was pretty sticky for my taste. My disappointment was in the teriyaki chicken. The pieces themselves were fine, but it was the sauce that was getting to me. It just felt off and didnt really taste like teriyaki sauce to me. Overall, not a bad experience. May consider coming here again.
