Since I was in the neighborhood, I've always wanted to try the sushi omakase bentos. Salmon box (4/5): This comes with salmon and seared salmon over a bed of rice. The salmon slices what huge and thicker than nigiri. The raw salmon didnt taste too fresh to me as it seemed more convenient store sushi quality to me. The seared was way too dry and ruined the texture of the salmon. Not sure if I'd come back here but this is good place if you're craving sushi and just want something quick.
The store and food options looks almost identical to Aji Kiji (previous business here). I was excited to try this place since everything felt familiar, but quickly realized the quality and taste was not good. The omakase option offered a variety of nigiris, pickles, fish soy sauce, etc.. I noticed a few pieces of fish had discoloring and left a deep fish odor after eating. And the pickles didn't taste good either.
This was my first time trying this takeout sushi spot near Japantown, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The bento boxes are beautifully presented and make the whole meal feel a little more special than your average takeout. My boyfriend chose the Wagyu bento box, which happened to be the last one they had on display. The staff kindly offered us a 20% discount, which was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience even better. It's on the higher-end side for takeout sushi, but the quality is absolutely worth it. Everything was incredibly fresh, and each item was carefully packed with attention to detail. One of my favorite touches was that certain bento sets come with sheets of seaweed, so you can make your own hand rolls as you eat. It made the whole experience feel fun and interactive. The presentation was so aesthetically pleasing that it immediately made me want to grab it and head to a nearby park for a picnic while enjoying the city views. The sushi tasted just as good as it looked, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every order. Between the excellent food, thoughtful presentation, and warm customer service, I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area.
Very tasty sushi on the go with high quality fish. I really want to get the omakase but since I'm going to work I opt for the tuna and salmon combo. The fish was super flavorful and the rice to fish ratio was perfect. Mine did not come with the little fish soy sauce that were in other people's picture and I am not sure why but I dont feel like the fish needed any. The wasabi was high quality with small chunks of real wasabi bites that was not over powering. Upon close inspection, my tuna looked a bit darker than usual and I wonder if it was aged. Typical fresh tuna are not this dark but it could also be marinated. The place didnt really have any story about how they prep their fish but it was good enough that I will come back. This place is definitely a more kind of a quick treat lunch if you are craving something good. I love going resturants too but sometimes I dont have that luxury of time in a city that keeps on changing. Until next time... P.S Would you consider selling the special futomaki on it's own? It was one the best I've had.
I tried coming to this location before (prior business name, Ajikiji), but could never make it during their hours, or they'd sell out quickly. I had a similar experience with this new Yoeechee business name in the beginning, where the first 2 times I showed up, they were closed or had sold out. So I was happy to arrive one Sunday morning at 11:30am with everything still in stock. It's the only time I can come during their opening time, around my work schedule. While reading prior reviews, it seemed Yoeechee didn't have the same quality as Aijiki; some pictures looked edited for marketing while legit non-edited photos made the fish look not-so-fresh. But I still wanted to try it out, going in with a bias & lower expectations. I never actually went to Ajikiji so I can't compare the two. I got the sake tekka don ($28), which initially didn't look that impressive, but the sashimi pieces were big and the fish melted in my mouth. It was easy to separate into 2 bites without the fish or seaweed tugging, nor rice falling out of my hand-made rolls. Nice and tender! The 2nd time I came, the bentos with uni were sold out minutes after opening time, but they said they were making more in the back. This time I tried the omakase ($53) and the bara chirashi ($28). The omakase pieces weren't as melt in your mouth as the tekka don, and some pieces were chewier; I wouldn't get it again. I'd say the same for the chirashi fish. The bento boxes are beautifully packed with a side of pickled veggies and a cute fish soy sauce dripper. It came with a pack of (7-9pc) nori and double-sided wooden chopsticks. Prices ranged from $23 for a 6pc salmon or tuna box, to $53 for the omakase. Prices are what you expect for (1) sushi, and (2) new shop in SF with current cost of living. I think this would be nice to bring to a picnic or easy lunch. I heard you can also pre order on Toastab, though I have not tried it. Staff are very nice. Fish quality was 5/5 the first time but 4/5 the second. Business seems good if they're selling out quickly. I'd come back again.
The omakase and the 6pc salmon was very filling and the fish was very fresh as well! Bento box was aesthetically pleasing.
Finally got to try Yoeechee! It is very close to Japantown; you can park at one of the lots there and walk to this location. The staff is very helpful and answered all our questions. The restaurant is clean and contemporary, with a minimalist design featuring neutral tones and natural materials. Everything is to go. We bought an omakase box on a Saturday around noon and there were still various boxes to choose from. We decided to get a mixed box with various types of sashimi and rolls. It was a bit over $50. The rolls were my favorite part! They were good. The sashimi was fresh for the most part, but we did get a couple of pieces at the end that weren't as fresh. Overall the box is worth the price and you get a variety of items. They have others that I would love to try in the future.
Came here while walking around Japantown and I'm so glad we stopped. We grabbed a few of the sushi boxes to share, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. The fish was super fresh, the salmon was buttery, and the tuna practically melted in my mouth. I also loved that the rolls had a good balance of filling without being overloaded with rice. The portions were generous, especially for the price, and each box came with a nice variety of nigiri, rolls, and pickled sides. Everything was neatly packed and looked almost too pretty to eat. We actually got the last set of these nigiri boxes around noon, so if you have your eye on them, I'd recommend going earlier in the day because they seem to sell out fast. The staff were friendly, and service was quick, which made it perfect for grabbing lunch and enjoying it outside. I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Japantown. Great quality sushi without the long wait or crazy prices!
I'm not sure what Yoeechee translates to but if Philly Chef Chris Cho opened a sushi spot, Yoeechee is what I think he would name it. And, as each customer enters, he would yell: "YEOBOSEYO"! Yoeechee soft opened last week in the former Aji Kiji spot (moved to FiDi). It's from the Daeho Dining Group that also owns Bansang, YakiniQ, Jina Bakes, and Aji Kiji. Like Aji Kiji, they sells omakase-quality sushi takeout boxes. Once they sell out, they close. When Aji Kiji was in this location, they would sell out within 2 hours. Word hasn't gotten out yet about Yoeechee. *Cue in*: Run don't walk.... Selection: Sake don, maguro don, bara chirashi, 10 pc nigiri, and 10 pc omakase ($23-$53). Fish selection changes daily. They do not offer delivery so not sure why it's listed as such. Tip option starts at 15%. They recommend letting it temper/sit out for 30-45 minutes before enjoying. F O O D * 10 pc Nigiri w/ futomaki ($42) - Kanpachi x2: Amberjack - Hirame x2: Halibut - Sake: Salmon - Aburi Sake: Torched Salmon - Kamasu (?) x2: Barracuda - Chutoro x2: Medium fatty tuna belly - Futomaki x3: Negitoro, sake, unagi, avocado, tamago, cucumbers, tobiko Starting with the most important element: the shari (sushi rice) - it's heavily vinegared, sticky, and held its shape. I personally like a more seasoned rice so I don't have to use soy sauce but some may find it too aggressive. All the fish is fresh tho the cuts on are the thinner side. The futomaki is a great way to use up all the odds and ends of the fish and usually a good filler. But, there was just too much going in this one. An assortment of crunchy tsukemono (pickled veggies) is provided as a palate cleanser. Housemade soy sauce served in little cute fish shaped dropper. More wasabi please...there was barely enough for half the box. S E R V I C E Friendly and polite. A M B I A N C E Sleek and minimalist. Takeout only. Overall, if you've been missing Aji Kiji and don't want to trek to the FiDi...Yoeechee got you!
Just in the neighborhood around 1:40 pm. No lines. So flavorful and so fresh. I got the saka: half grilled and half raw. Will stick to raw ones next time. Total: $29 with tax. Big slices. Love the pickled veggies and ginger, so flavorful. I should have taken pictures of the display case. The store itself is minimalist. Should have asked for more Wasabi. Yum.
The location is very nice as was the service, extremely friendly and helpful and welcoming in a beautiful environment and simple decor. I thought I would try the Omakase as my first taste. The fish was fresh. The taste was nice and refreshing. The only thing was some of the cuts for the fish and the rice texture with seasoning. It will be up to a personal decision, which is always subjective. I do recommend trying it and I will probably try it a second time.
Expensive and the sushi wasn't great, I didn't love the fish. I have had much better elsewhere. Service was nice though! And keep in mind there are no tables inside so you will need to find elsewhere to sit
Omakase box was so delicious! I especially loved the tuna, scallops, and salmon! Tasted very fresh! Love the take out omakase concept - perfect for a picnic at the park

7 piece nigiri set: 35 Felt like a great value for sushi, a comparable option at a sit down restaurant would be 50+ after tip. I liked that all of the sets are on display so you can see what you are buying before purchasing. My favorites were the shrimp and scallop nigiri. There is a parking garage across the street at Japantown Mall or street parking about a 5-10 minute walk to the store. Recommend going earlier in the day as by closing time there are few options remaining, or they are completely sold out. read more

We picked up a box half-price just before closing from a very polite young man. This new business has kept the same pick-up-only interior as the previous (Ajikiji, now in FiDi). Consistent with prior comments, I think while packaged to look the same (similar boxes, pickles, take-out soy sauce dripper), the quality of the food just didn't hit quite as good as the prior business. Of course, end of day sushi is hard to compare to fresh, but I'd probably not have paid nearly $30 for what we got. read more

Every bite of Yoeechee's Uni-Toro Don exploded with fresh, salty flavor and melted in my mouth! Although this beautifully arranged box was on the pricier end, I enjoyed every bite. This was the perfect lunch to enjoy on a nearby bench under the midday sun. Furthermore, the staff were friendly and helpful. They provided napkins, chopsticks, and a paper bag to hold everything. The ambiance was calm and quiet, and I didn't have to wait in line at all. read more
Pretty good quality takeout sushi. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the roll in the omakase set. Overall not bad but I wish they sauced and added wasabi in the nigiris given the price. The price is definitely on the higher end vs some other takeout spots, at $50+ for the omakase. Was a bit bummed that the uni/amaebi/toro/ikura set was already sold out within 15 mins of opening. read more
So fresh and delicious! My friends and I personally thought it was better than their competitors in SF, and it ran about $24.99 for a 6 piece nigiri + 3 piece roll set. My friends also enjoyed everything they got- their only complaint was the seared salmon was more of just a cooked salmon fillet because it was seared too much for how thin it was. There was plenty of parking in the lot behind the building, which is rare for the city. Would definitely come back here for a bento, there was no wait on a Saturday afternoon! read more
We just came back from Japan 2 weeks ago and already missed the food in Japan. So glad that we found this new place since we were in Japantown area. The menu is very simple which means they put their focus in creating high quality take out box. Presentation is great. The taste is amazing. Definitely match what we ate in Japan. read more

DELICIOUS fish. One of the things I appreciated about Yoeechee vs other takeout fish spots is definitely the amount of white fish cuts included in their boxes. I got the omakase box, and it was such fresh fish! I was pleasantly surprised by the roll cuts, but the pairing of the toro and tamago was great! It was very decadent. I loved it & would swing by when I'm in the area! read more

It's pretty fresh. Came by before it closed . It was 50% off before 6pm or near 6pm. Bought a omakase , taste very fresh and cute design. First time trying sashimi. They cut it and make it in front of you. This place replaces ajiki. It's on a reasonable price for omakase. Still have a lot can share with 3-4 people. Service was fast and it's quite empty and quiet when I came . Owner is helpful and told me about which is popular read more

new takeout sushi spot in aji kiji's former japantown location. feels almost the same inside except they painted a wall black, got rid of the pendant lantern, and had yet to sell out by 1:30pm on a wednesday. they still had a good amount of options but were out of the 10 pc nigiri and uni toro don (bummer). surprisingly my favorite bites in the 6pc box were the futomaki. the nigiri hold together well but aren't very interesting imo. read more

It was a slow (cold and windy) day, so boxes were 50% off near closing (I was there about 5:30pm). I got the Uni-Toro Don, which was a fantastic value at 50% off. The chef was manning the counter, and he said that most days, the boxes aren't discounted, but occasionally, when there are a lot left near closing time, he will make everything 50% off. read more

Came here after seeing recommendation on social media. Having been to Aji Kiji and Komeya no Bento, this place might be my favorite. We came when most of the boxes were sold out but after we bought one of the Tekka Don boxes the cashier gave us one for free which was really nice. The tuna was very fresh, flavors were perfect and the cut was thin just like how it is in Japan. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone in the area. read more

Really enjoyed my King Salmon box yesterday both on appearance and taste. The service is fast and efficient, the place looked clean and calming. I liked the cuts and amount that is served in each box of sushi, the different tobiko as well is so beautiful i enjoyed not only the colors but the different salty variations. The rice is cooked perfectly. I'm so used purchasing to go sushi boxes that are smaller amounts or not better quality but definitely will be back for more and with friends! :D read more

I ordered the Bara Chirashi bento box and immediately, the presentation is stunning! The fish is high quality and fresh, and the pickled vegetables and other condiments paired really well with everything else in the box. I liked the clean, sleek interior and the quick transaction when you approach the counter. The prices are also in line with other chirashi bowls in SF. I will definitely be back! read more
