Sometimes 5 stars just is NOT enough. If you ever find yourself on the south side, you have to check this place out. I have heard friends rave about Yokohama for years, but it always seemed so far and out of the way. Now I am kicking myself for waiting so long to go and it has ruined me for a lot of other 'sushi' places closer to home. Not convinced yet? Read on. The owner only uses the freshest fish that she used to drive hours to get almost daily to ensure it is the best cut and quality - and this shines through in the taste of her offerings. The downstairs space is cozy and intimate - but they do have the coolest 'party space' upstairs that you can rent/reserve complete with in-ground tables for an authentic experience. They will also set up karaoke up there if you ask! Back to the food. Our group ordered about 10 items - all of which were so good that I was super mad that I had waited so long to try Yokohama. We were fortunate to go with a friend that has been frequenting this gem for about 20 years - so he ordered for us - and this is the way to go! We had the Volcano, BMW, Fat House (SO unique), Indiana, Speedway, and Debbie rolls, Sake smoked salmon and super white Nigiri, the Gyoza app, and another seared tuna app that I cannot remember the name of - all DELISH! Of note, your GPS might take you to what appears to be an alley - don't worry - you're close! Yokohama is in a converted house space and the vibe is so comfy. If you get the back corner table near the fireplace, check for a hidden drawer under the table where you will find years worth of love notes tucked inside. Request 'the lover's table' to sit here! Pro tip: if it is not busy, ask if Debbie is available to tell you a joke or to show you a magic trick. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is nice and can be a good option if you need quick sushi. But for a planned sushi date per se, I wouldn't recommend it. I throw three stars because I wouldn't come back again; personally I didn't enjoy the quality of the fish and rice. I found frozen ice bits in my sushi rolls and the size of the rolls are considerably large. On the plus side, the staff is welcoming and the place is clean and cozy. The appetizer Shumai was the tastiest. It was good to give this shop a try. read more

I arrived for lunch 20 minutes before they closed and I was turned away and told they had already cleaned up for the day. Even though they are listed on Google, as well as other places, as being open 11 AM to 9 PM. To me, 20 minutes is quite a bit to be turning business away. read more

Lovely Japanese restaurant hidden away in a converted house. Food is always fresh and prepared with care. All items arrived to the table quickly and piping hot! Parking in back is adequate and easily accessed from the alley behind the building. Service is always polite and friendly! We will be back again for sure :) read more

Yokohama - Softshell crab, salmon and tuna nigiri, Agadashi tofu, and Dark Angel Roll. - Japanese Near Me - Greenwood, Indiana

Don't let this place for you when you pull up. It looks like a house on the outside but it's very quaint inside. Our party of 13 enjoyed a side room with tables in it to celebrate our Easter together. I don't know if it's because we were a large group but half of our food came out and was very tasty. Those of us that received our food. The first round were completely done eating before the other half of our party received theirs. There's also looked different than the first entrées that came out. The yakisoba absolutely had no sauce whatsoever. two people did not even eat their food as they said it taste horrible. We asked for teriyaki sauce which they did bring out and they also charged extra for the sauce. The two individuals said it still didn't taste dry. When we asked the waitress why it tasted and looked different she said, because one was chicken and shrimp and one was just chicken. But they all were the same base which was yakisoba so that did not make sense. Our experience overall was mediocre. There were a couple of things that were outstanding. The sushi was extremely fresh and good. Hence the whole reason for this three star. I had been here a couple years ago and had a good experience, but there were only five of us that time. I would like another chance, but I just hated Family drove in an hour and a half away and they were the ones that did not get their food until we were done. The wait staff were very friendly. The issues seem to be with the kitchen staff. read more

This is a cozy and quaint little shop. You feel cozy and content as soon as you sit down...I love it! We were seated straight away, and our server was polite and contagiously happy to see us. Our drinks were on the table within minutes and the order was taken shortly after. We had four dishes and each one was prepared with love and thoughtfully plated. The quality was above and beyond all that we could have expected. I enjoyed every bite and so did my guest. The Sushi Poppers were everything we had heard and then some. They, all by themselves, would warrant a return visit. I visit Greenwood often and I will put Yokohama at the top of my dinner list! read more

Some of the most comforting and tasty Japanese food I've ever had! The service was so splendid, everyone was so kind and attentive. I loved the decor inside, it was so cute! The atmosphere was also very comforting. I got the salmon nigiri and it was delicious. The salmon was thick cut as well! read more

It had been a while since we had visited this quaint restaurant on Madison Ave. in Greenwood. It is contained in a converted charming bungalow with plenty Japanese appeal inside. The husband/wife team makes you feel comfortable and eager to sample their amazing dishes. Unlike many places, Yokohama' quality in food and service has not been altered in any way. My wife had a Bento Box with teriyaki beef. Oh my, the ribeye still is the most tender beef anywhere around. The box had an ample assortment of incredibly prepared Japanese fare. My shrimp and scallop dish was well prepared and the seafood, including the salmon was outstanding in this entree. We will visit again and not wait as long this time. Thank you for keeping your standards high. read more

Yokohama - Yuki Bento Box Dinner - Japanese Near Me - Greenwood, Indiana

What a wonderful experience we had here tonight. We were greeted right when we walked in, whom I believe was the owner. We were sat down at our table, and the waitress quickly came and got our drinks. I loved the vibe of the restaurant- old house getting repurposed into a new space. I ordered the Wafu steak, and my wife and mother ordered a bento box. The entrees came with a salad and miso soup...I've definitely had better ginger house dressing at other restaurants, but it was still good...I tried the miso soup but didn't like it- but never really have been a fan- the other people in my party said it was good. Man, the Wafu steak was so good that I had to contemplate if I was going to return the next day and re-order it. The sauce on it was super flavorful...I upgraded to the fried rice, and it was also delicious. Overall, super pleased with our experience here and can't wait to return- also a big pro that it's a local business where the owners still work at. read more

Unfortunately, you will find rude staff, a falling apart interior, and mediocre food.

Yokohama recently reopened after some bad luck with weather on Christmas. To say that their fan base missed them is an understatement! The restaurant is back and better than ever. Debbie and Scott are still the heart and soul of this place and you can tell in the food and fellowship in the restaurant. Here was our night in food: Apps - gyoza, tuna tataki, and edamame Rolls: Our kids ordered a spider roll and a volcano (dinner & a show) Hubs and I ordered a sweetheart and a volcano. We literally inhaled every bite! Everything was fresh and prepared to perfection. We're so glad to be back read more

Our son is home on leave from deployment so our daughter who lives in Seattle flew home to be with the family. both kids love sushi so we went back to Yokohama's. It did not disappoint. The service again was outstanding. The ambience was very quaint and cozy. It's an excellent place if you want to carry on a conversation. We started off with the pork dumplings. All I could say is delicious. Then each of us ordered a variety of sush. The portions are huge and we could've gotten by with just two but we stuffed ourselves and took home the rest . The owner went through the menu with us and even offered some sushi that wasn't listed, one of those was called the Grinch. it is huge, not sure what was inside, but on the top of it was a firecracker shrimp that was absolutely delicious. Everyone had a great time and the owner was so gracious to spend time with us talking about Japan, Korea, and Taiwan where she grew up. This has got to be one of the most friendly and personable Japanese restaurants I've ever been to. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you love sushi. This is our second time and we have not had any of the Japanese dinners. Just can't get past the delicious appetizers and sushi. read more

Decided to stop by here last night for a bit of sushi and were pleasantly surprised with what we found. There was a friendly greeting at the door and we were promptly seated even without a reservation. We started with a drink. They served beer and wine along with soft drinks and tea. My husband had a nice sweet red wine and I opted for tea. My husband had the seafood hibachi which he said was good. I had a bento box with teriyaki beef that was amazing. The beer was flavorful and tender. It also came with 2 spring rolls, 3 gyozas, 4 pieces of California roll and white rice. There was enough left for lunch the next day. Both of the entrees came with miso soup and a side salad with that yummy ginger dressing. Service was fast and friendly and the quiet atmosphere was a great way to unwind on a weekday. It was nice that they thanked us for coming in. Give this little place a try. read more

I went here for the first time 3.5 years ago and it was instantly my favorite sushi. My partner preferred another place in town, but by our second visit she was hooked too. The hours are a little sporadic, but I think that comes with the personal experience each visit comes with. The prices have gone up over the years, however 3 years ago you were practically stealing from them. The prices are still more than fair with the overall quality and quantity. read more

Excellent lunch bento box! This converted house feels cozy and intimate. Service was great and the food was so good! We will be back to try the sushi! read more

Relaxing , quaint little restaurant to have good fresh sushi. I had the house salad, salmon sashimi and the volcano roll. All items were fresh and tasty. The staff and service were friendly and accommodating. If you're in the mood for good sushi, or even a nice relaxing peaceful dinner date, I would recommend. I would return when I'm in the Greenwood area. read more

100% 5/5 ... I'd give them a 6/5 honestly. Very very friendly staff. Family owned, in the small quaint Greenwood area.

If you haven't been before, you're definitely missing out. read more

If you want sushi on the southside this is the place to go. The hubby and I visited New Year's eve and had a great time. It's a quaint little restaurant inside an old house. The tables are really close but I promise you will soon forget once the food arrives. We ordered a standard California roll. It was good, eight pieces and thick. We also ordered the sweetheart roll. I expected it to be spicy and it was not. Great for tuna lovers. Want something off the menu? Order the Sushi Sundae. It's big enough for two to share. Maybe even more. It's literally like it sounds. Served with spoons. I kept saying after each bite, this is so good. Finally my husband laughed and said must be good huh?! The side salad with ginger dressing is just OK. It came with crunchy chow mein noodles on top. The dressing was a bit watery. Definitely order than miso soup on a cold night. It was so brothy and warming. We already can't wait to come back and visit again. Next time I want to try the hibachi and order another one off the menu item their seafood salad. The owner said it was superb. read more

We ordered the jalapeño poppers and the debbie roll and the poppers despite having spicy tuna inside you could only taste the cream cheese it was super over powering. The deep fried crust on the Debbie roll had a very stale texture. We asker for siracha and we were told they did not have any, later we asked for some kind other hot sauce and then they told me they had spicy mayo or siracha, I was a little confused since the other waitress had told me they didn't have any. When we got the bill they charged us an extra dollar for the siracha. Food was not very good at all and the sauce situation was just annoying. read more

Great little restaurant with a homey feeling. Services was on point and food was damn good too. We ordered 10 rolls and a bunch of nigiri sushi and some appetizers. This was our first time, so we thought it was on the pricer side but when our rolls came out, we knew we over did it . The rolls were HUGE! Not like your typical sushi joint size, these were like 2x bigger and they use bigger cuts of fish as well. Quality of fish was okay ( I'm spoiled when it comes to sushi) but rice was cooked and portions were generous. Def give it a try, worth an experience! Might be back soon! read more

I'm always down for some sushi, so my husband and I swung in here for lunch on a random day while driving through Greenwood. The server was very polite and we were seated right away for lunch, there was no wait at all! I love the vibe of this restaurant. It has a homey feel and very cozy. As for the food, I was pretty underwhelmed with the majority of sushi rolls we ordered. The rice was nothing to brag about, so that made the simpler rolls very bland (i.e. California roll). But the more decadent rolls with spicy mayo and sauces were able to amp up the taste a bit! Our favorite was the sweetheart roll! It even comes cut into cute heart shapes (order this if you're on a date!!). The prices were expensive for lunch (maybe we just missed the lunch menu? But it was 12 pm). I wouldn't spend that much on lunch again - this is definitely a dinner spot. We ordered 4 rolls and 8 pieces of nigiri and it was $90. Overall, I would go for the rolls with more ingredients/toppings and you'll be much more happy that way! Also avoid lunch (unless they roll out some lunch specials) because it's pretty pricey. read more

After living in California for five years, I had pretty much given up on finding any good or at least comparable sushi that could rival the west coast. The sushi at Yokohama is the freshest and best tasting sushi that I have ever eaten! I will definitely be coming back and bringing others with me. So glad I found my new local sushi spot! read more

Really enjoyed this place. We went after their recent re opening and the sushi was very tasty. The restaurant is very unique and the staff was friendly. I only tried the sushi so can't comment on the other food but it all smelled and looked good. Only critic would be the seating. It is very tightly packed in downstairs and the benches are very far away from the actual table which was a little awkward eating wise. read more

Good selection and quality of sushi. Decent price. Clean restaurant. Go for the early bird deals!

I'm not from the area so I choose Yokohama based on its star rating and location. I was really craving good sushi! Appears to be family owned by traditional Japanese family. Very nice, comfortable atmosphere. Pleasant aesthetically and very polite staff. I just walked in and placed an order to go. I was offered a seat in a booth and provided 2 sushi menus. Waitress offered to provide something to drink while I waited. It took approximately 15 minutes and the presentation was beautiful but that was eclipsed by the fabulous tastes! Everything was fresh and meticulously prepared! I highly recommend! read more

Had such a great experience here! Came right at dinner time on a Friday evening and we're promptly seated at the sushi bar. The restaurant was busy but there weren't many folks on the front row of the action, where my boyfriend and I really enjoyed bantering with the sushi chefs. We started the meal with beer and wine, the wine selection being slightly better than the beer. Not a sake drinker, but they did have plenty of options there. Pro tip: if you check in on Yelp they have an $8 off $60 coupon, so knowing we wanted to use that, we proceeded to go a bit overboard ordering rolls. We got the Philly, Satsuma, Yokohama and Sweetheart rolls. We were a bit shocked at the $17 and $18 price tag on the specialty rolls, but it can't be stressed enough how HUGE they were. Even my boyfriend who can eat with the best of them was struggling to eat his fair share of these rolls. We both really enjoyed the experience and got a kick out of their decor full of tchotchkes, service was on point, and the food was fresh and delicious. read more

Had every intention on going to another place that had amazing reviews, but it was closed unexpectedly and we had need up here. Most of the rolls were decent, but the tuna roll just made me nervous. I understand the Rainbow Effect that can happen, but this wasn't that. It had a green cast to it, and for me, that is a no go. The best part was, the owner was offended and declared they only have the freshest fish in the area. He took it off of my bill, but you could tell he was extremely bothered. I usually will roll with whatever I'm given, but there has to be a line somewhere. Haha. read more
