Always a quick place to pick up some Japanese. We like the poke bowls and every one of their rolls. Prices are great.

Got the jumbo roll & shrimp tempura roll from yois delicious!! Needs more sauce, but I like my rolls drenched in sauce lol. read more

Yoi - Japanese Near Me - Reedley, California

Wow! This place was the best unexpected surprise. I happened upon it as I was craving a chicken teriyaki bowl, and I was so impressed. The bowl is a generous size and PACKED to the brim with rice and a heap of chicken. The teriyaki sauce is perfectly savory, and enough to get you through the whole bowl without needing extra. I personally would have preferred a few veggies in my bowl, but they offer tempura veggies as a side, so that's an easy fix! I also tried their gyoza, which was perfectly crispy, and the dipping sauce was next level delicious. The service was good, everyone was friendly. The restaurant was a bit warm, and the wait time was a bit long, but that's because they grill your food up fresh while you wait, and I appreciated that. If you're in a rush, definitely call ahead, but if you have time to sit and enjoy the quaint little spot with some delicious food, it's not a bad spot. read more

1st time visiting, walked in 715pm ordered and waited for yummy goodness! Rolls came fast, where made fresh and they where tasty.. We had a Dragon, Spicy Tuna, Crunchy Tuna, Rainbow Roll and a California for Ms Cadence! We also ordered a Teriyaki Bowl (bomb).. Everything was great! The Soy Sauce is regular Kikoman, a bit salty haha.. The Wasabi was creamy and had a nice texture BUT it wasn't Spicey/Hot.. All in all, was a good experience: the inside was very clean, menu ez to read, food tasty and staff friendly. There was a nice mixture of inexpensive $5.95 all the way up to $13 & $14 rolls. We will be back! read more

Overpriced and food is mediocre at best. Also, wasn't made to feel super comfortable as I picked up my order either.

I thought I would try this place out but not as good as I expected... The teriyaki chicken was pretty good the rice was good but the tempura was a little disappointing, I thought it would be more crispier and the pieces were really small with barely anything on them. Idk if I would go back there though. read more

The customer services, are really friendly :). Some of them know you really good especially the food you order. The food is still the best places to go there for lunch and dinner. I really love the Crunchy California rolls, Poke bowl, and chicken bowl I highly recommend that!! read more

After hearing about this new place in town I decided to give it a try. I got the fried roll. It was ok! I had higher expectations.

**MUST LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS BEFORE EATING HERE OR EVEN ORDERING TO GO** I started a new job in Reedley and decided to eat out for my first day on the job to explore the town. I wanted to keep it safe so I searched for Asian food nearby and stumbled across this place. It's really hard to f#ck up simple chicken over rice with sauce, right?? When I arrived around 11am on a Monday, 2/20/23, first thing I noticed was there was no one out front to greet me or acknowledge I was there,.. all you can here was really loud Hispanic music blasting from the kitchen and a lot of loud conversations from who I assumed to be the employees who work there. I waited at the front desk by the cashier and made eye contact with the waitress, I smiled and waited, she continued to ignore me and continue her conversation with all 3 people in the kitchen. There were no other customers in the restaurant and nobody on the phone. She finally came out and asked how she could help me; I ordered a spicy tuna roll for starters and then a simple teriyaki chicken bowl to follow, I had my own bottled water with me. She asked if I wanted it for here or to-go, I kindly replied I'd like to eat it here, she then asked, "Are you sure?," in which I replied, "Yes, ...it is OK to eat here right?" she just said, "OK anything else?" wow, alright, clear signs that I probably should have already walked out but I was already 12 minutes into my 30 minute lunch so I decided to just stick it out, worst case I can take my food to go. She went ahead and rung me up to which I though was weird because if you're eating there, you normally don't get asked for money until you've been given your food and "service." I can then pay for it after I'm able to enjoy my meal. Being a good citizen, I went ahead and paid them to save time. Being the only customer dining in and noticing how they were not busy at all, I figured my food would come out pretty quick, I was wrong again, 15 minutes went by and I didn't get the oh-so-easy to make spicy tuna roll I asked for. 25 minutes go by as I continue to periodically make eye contact with the workers giving them the, "where the f#ck is my food," look. While I waited, another customer came in mad to return an order because it was not the sushi roll she ordered. They didn't even acknowledge their mistake or apologize, she just said, "Oh, we'll make the right one, it'll be ready in 15 minutes." Another 5 minutes go by and i see my chicken bowl at the pickup window. The waitress resumed playing on her cell phone turned away from my food. I walked up to the front desk and asked nicely if my food was ready and she said it will be right up, in which I asked (pointing) if THAT was my food, she laughed and said, "oh, here you go." I kindly asked if the spicy tuna roll was ready and she looked confused as if I didn't order one to begin with, ... my jaw was about to drop at this point but I was hungry so I asked for it to be packaged up to-go when ready and I'll go ahead and eat the chicken bowl now. When she stuck her head in the window, i hear one of the cooks say, "he ordered a spicy tuna roll?" I'm not sure why they ask if you want it for here or to-go when all the food is in TO-GO containers anyway! That question would make more sense if the food was going to be prepared differently but if it's just a matter of putting it in a bag or not, you don't need to ask until it's ready. The chicken bowl is in a plastic bowl, it was just missing the lid, and of course when my spicy tuna roll showed up (which was the most ugly, loose, too much hot long-grain (not short-grain) un-marinated/seasoned rice - the rice was cooking the minced tuna inside the roll) she brought it out to me on a plastic serving tray even though I specifically asked for it to be packaged to go. I reminded her and without saying a word she left it at my table, came back with the lid for both the sushi and chicken bowl and just dropped it off. WTH is going on here? Is everyone hungover or drunk here? Do they treat all their customer like this? Is it because I look like a Japanese guy ordering Japanese food at this restaurant that they think it's OK to not give AF about the minimum practice of customer service? I will NEVER return and don't recommend this place to anyone who is even remotely used to the way any decent restaurant should operate - you will be so disappointed. Chicken was overcooked, teriyaki sauce has cornstarch chunks in it, don't even get me started on the sushi roll. I should have checked yelp before even considering ordering sushi here, you can clearly see in the pictures it's gas station grade at best - and who wants gas station sushi, let alone gas-station level customer service and hospitality... read more

This place is great. Food is delicious and you get a good amount, especially for the price. They answer the phones and are very friendly. Good is ready when it should be. Very clean eating area. Highly recommended for a lunch spot or casual dinner read more

Yoi - Lots of chicken on the crispy chicken salad. Yum!!! - Japanese Near Me - Reedley, California

I have frequented this place at least once a week for the past couple months because the food is good. Today I experienced being treated less than the other customers. Routinely when you order your food to sit and eat your server will bring your food to the table. Today she had me get up and get my food while she served everyone else at their table. I felt like I was treated poorly as a customer as no one else eating there was of my race. It is very troublesome that this would happen in this place because they are also minority owned. Hopefully this will not happen again. Shameful! Shameful! I left thinking that she would probably feel the same way if the roles were reversed! read more

Simple but delicious. Love their chicken bowls. They are always fast to prepare as well, no long 45 minute waits for your order, it's usually ready within 15 minutes. Their service is great too. Always so kind and polite. read more

Friendly people and great service! Food too! Quiet place although they have a tv. Must be good acoustics. So quiet. Great is assortment of food we had teriyaki stir fry. Half shrimp and half beef over fried rice read more

Delicious sushi made to order. The prices are reasonable as well. We will return for sure.

1 star because I had to... I was really hoping for more. Like Mika's or teriyaki Don in Fresno. But...The food is gross and the place lacks everything! From employees to sauce. I ordered the sesame chicken combination plate and I'm really not sure if I was served chicken or fried rubber. As I stood at the counter to order at 7:50, a guy in the kitchen instructed the girl at the register to close in 10 min. The hours on the door read they were open until 8:30, and she had just told someone over the phone that they closed at 8:30. Monday night, I drove by before 8 and their sign was turned to close. So...what are their hours? As I waited for our food, I observed the girl at the counter receive a phone call from obviously someone who received an incomplete order. She went back to the kitchen then back upfront, and told the unsatisfied customer that the person who prepared their food forgot and to come in next time and tell them you were given a free bowl...as a guy from the kitchen yelled "tell them we ran out" I will not go back. read more

Awesome food fairly priced. Rolls are off the hook plus a very good variety. Friendly service.

This was our first time here. We tried the crunchy California rolls and the sesame chicken combo. Both were pretty good. The chicken was cooked well and crunchy, not soggy as some other reviews stated. However, both dishes were not seasoned well and left something to be desired. For the price, Sansei is much preferred. The price of the rolls was very reasonable but they lacked any real flavor and had hardly any meat. Mediocre experience. read more

Yoi - Crunchy California roll. Lacked flavor. - Japanese Near Me - Reedley, California

Horrible !!!!! Ordered spicy tuna roll, you could barely see the tasteless tuna and so much mushy rice 15% fish 85% rice....seafood plate was all breading and very little fish....kitchen staff kind of dirty...food not fresh!!!!!! They lost me at the first bite!!!!! Never again....Sansei is so much better for almost the same price...it's like day and night.....try it once it would be your last. read more

Yoi - Raw salmon skin....nasty - Japanese Near Me - Reedley, California

Went here for the first time and service was HORRIBLE!!!! The cashier tossed the receipt at us and as I waited I observe how she treated other customers giving wrong orders out (wasn't even busy) and them having to come back to swap things out for their correct items .... The food was decent read more

If you are looking for authentic sushi, then this isn't the place to go. On the plus side though, the menu is pretty cheap....along with the styrofoam plates all the food is served on. All in all the food wasn't bad, I'd come here again. read more

Went in for lunch. My wife had the chicken teriyaki bowl and I had the beef teriyaki bowl. Both were great! Customer service was good. I'm glad we beat the lunch rush, customers seemed to be waiting quite a while for their orders. The cook in the back seemed frustrated as if he didn't want to be there. He was easily irritated with the cashier at the front counter. Also, the lid to the freshly brewed tea was not placed back on top, this is a sanitation issue. Once I brought it to the cashier's attention the issue was fixed. A lot better than my first visit. We'll be back for lunch soon! :) read more

I've been here multiple times at different times throughout the day. I've always come away satisfied. Yoi is very good for essentially fast food sushi. I have never had my order messed up nor has my food been bad. I don't like every roll, but that is my own preference, I'm not a fan of deep fried rolls. read more

I order the Beef Bowl with a side of miso soup. The service was pleasant and the food was good. The beef was a nice sized portion of steak. It had a good flavor and was satisfying. The miso soup was flavored well. The experience was what one would expect, not bad at all read more

Went during lunch and received fast and friendly service. Food was out in less than 5 minutes for my to-go order. Very clean and simple atmosphere. I ordered the sesame chicken bowl and it came with a good amount of chicken and rice. Overall I was happy with the food - hot, plentiful and yummy! Will definitely come here for lunch again read more

I ordered a salmon bowl and was very pleased with the portions and flavor of the teriyaki sauce on it. It was cooked well. This restaurant is open on Mondays unlike most of the other Asian restaurants in Reedley. The prices are very reasonable here. I found it to be a good alternative to the other Asian restaurants in town. read more

I enjoy eating the food. I usually order a chicken bento box and 2 sushi rolls. The service is good. I recommend to family and friends.

their Gyoza is to die for! I went in yesterday for my first time and i loved it, so i went again later yesterday. And today i ordered more & i just can't get enough of it! The great part about Yoi is that if you're a (i believe high school) student you get the chicken bowl for $6! That's amazing! I'd rather spend less than more! read more

Ordered a poki bowl and was confused that it didn't include seaweed so I had to pay an extra fee for that as well as tempura flakes. If it wasn't for that all they would've served me was rice and tuna. The thing that ruined the whole bowl for me was that they added the WASABI directly on top of my bowl!?!? Who does that. Anyways, I spent a while picking off the wasabi residue from my bowl. read more

Sunday at 5:15 and they're closed!! Really! Wow! Thanks Reedley! Would expect a busy to be open on Sunday at Prime business hours, but was met with disappointment. read more

Dude do you guys see the hair I'm on the 5th picture omg theirs a hair on the sushi

i havent had sushi for a while, so I felt like I had to give this place a try while driving through. it was not terrible quality but the proportions of the roll was really off. it was like 90% rice and 10% other fillings. I got the spicy tuna and it had VERY little spicy tuna in it and it tasted like it had wasabi in it? it was weird. the people I was with got the chicken teriyaki bowl and they looked a million times better than I what I got. read more

Same guy who had the Japanese restaurant in Dinuba in downtown. Food is good it's average not many Japanese restaurants to choose from. I just liked their teriyaki bowls and sesame bowls they're good for something quick and simple. read more

For a quick get in and get out sushi, this is a great place in Reedley. The price dictates the value you get, for the same price of a burger from any fast food joint, you get a far better meal. I go here at least 3 times a week for lunch and have ordered a good variety of the menu. I always feel the food is always worth the price, whether if its a little off one day or not. This is not a sit down restaurant, if your expecting restaurant quality then Sensei is where you want to go. Just expect to pay $3-$4 more depending on entree. The rolls are also a little more as well. If your on your 30min lunch and want a good dish to go asap, I highly recommend this place. Especially the Korean ribs on Wednesdays, I'm a big fan of those. read more

Tonite was our first time and we were very happy with it. The food was delicious and we paid half the price of what we normally pay for Japanese food. Did you get that, FOOD DELICIOUS AND HALF THE PRICE! The cashier was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back. read more

I will start by saying we are in Reedley. Reedley simply refuses to bring in commercial business to protect the little guys. Well this is what we get, Yoi. I am a huge fan of sushi and my wife and I eat sushi sometimes two - three times a week. We live in Fresno so we eat at the likes of Edo-Ya, Sakura Chaya and Maroo. Each has their own flair and style but all-in-all great sushi and expected prices. Places like Wasabi are great too however a little more expensive then I would expect for sushi. To the owners of Yoi, I highly recommend that you visit any of the restaurants I mentioned above. As a sushi connoisseur Yoi rolls have way too much rice around the meat and far too little meat. The rolls are too large to fit in your mouth. My preference is to be able to fit one whole piece in my mouth so that I get a well rounded taste that the roll captures. Because of the way the rolls are constructed you have to eat your way through a chunk of rice to have one bit of meat then two more bites of rice and seaweed. The two rolls I had were deep fried and I am not a big fan of that, but ok. I would have liked to have some ginger too but there was only one little slice the size of my pinkie finger. Personally they are going to have to step it up even to compete with Sensei in Reedley. I will not return for sushi but I will return for one of the other dishes. I will update my review next time I am in there. I hope this review acts as constructive criticism for improvment. I hope that they do well but I really feel there is something lacking.

Just tried this new place in town for lunch. It was pretty good! I had a combo plate with sesame chicken and tempura vegetables and my only complaint was the sauce...I needs more for my sesame chicken! Glad to know this place! Keep up the good work! read more

Really nice Japanese cuisine here in Reedley, my favorite items are the Pork, and Chicken bowls. The price is extremely reasonable for the amount of food you're getting. The sushi does need a lot of work on its flavor, didn't really enjoy it. read more

I'm giving this two stars bc we got good service and were given fresh veggies when the ones we ordered were served cold. The flimsy styrofoam plates, the teeny plastic ware, and the tiny water cups were all major turn-offs. The food was mediocre at best. This place could easily adjust a few things and get 4 and 5 star ratings. read more

Don't know why there are so many negative reviews...the food is good, service is fast, food is reasonably priced, and the restaurant is clean. What more can you ask for?? read more

Food is bomb there especially the Chicken bowl, it's a classic with a sauce that is amazing.
