3. Katsu Bowl, 11. Lemon Chicken, Crab Angels, Egg Roll
Jeff B.

Katsudon is a popular Japanese comfort dish. It seems to be getting harder and harder to find, and even harder to find it done well. A simple dish consisting of panko breaded pork (katsu) cooked with onions, and scrambled egg in a broth made of dashi, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, served over rice. Relatively simple to make, but often not done well. Often the broth will be too sweet, and instead of pork it will be chicken (often overdone and dry) I much prefer the pork version. Yoko's katsu bowl to me is perfection. The pork is flavorful and juicy, not fatty or full of gristle. The broth is perfectly balanced, the onions cooked but with some crispness still and the egg, just done to the point of firmness but not overcooked. Haven't had katsudon this good since I left Japan in '94. The lemon chicken was good, not overly sweet with good lemon flavor. Crab Rangoon's (crab angels on the menu) are pretty typical, cream cheese wontons but they are large and tasty. Same with the egg roll, pretty standard for Asian takeout, large portion, crispy on the outside with some crispy cabbage filling. Yoko's is my go to for my beloved Katsudon, they have an extensive menu that I want to try more of, but it will be difficult to ever not order my favorite Japanese dish of all time.

Teriyaki beef and egg roll
Steven K.

Fast service and the food was very good. Nice and hot, and humongous portions. First time here and will definitely return again.

1. Teriyaki Chicken
Pete M.

Tried this place on a recommendation. It was amazing. I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and an egg roll. The regular size was more than filling. The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The egg roll was tasteful and crunchy. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and our order was taken. Within 10 mins our food was in front of us. The restaurant is a small one but maximized seating area is a plus. Not a noisy restaurant by any means. I'll definitely be back to try the other dishes

This place has been here forever. I remember coming here in high-school and they are still busy. So that's a good sign. Loved how they updated their menu board and even the combo deals. Would say their chicken stir fry was a little too saucy and not enough rice, but I shouldn't complain as most restaurants now cut back on proteins. Always a favorite, I'd highly recommend adding this favorite to your routine takeout.

1. Teriyaki Chicken  2. Crab Angels
Toan H.

The atmosphere itself is very casual and makes me feel at home. The place is also very clean and well organized. Main dishes are comprised of rice bowls or yakisoba (a type of stir fried noodles from Japan), with some type of meat (chicken, beef, or shrimp) that are prepared in many different ways (curry, katsu (deep fried), teriyaki, orange, lemon, etc.) Personally, I've always ordered the number #1 large teriyaki chicken with light sauce. Today, I've also decided to grab a side dish in crab angels and they were delicious as expected. The people here really strive to give you the best customer service along with great food. Trust me when I tell you that they are very generous in trying to feed you. Just look at the size of the bowl I got! This place makes everything fresh so the wait can be a little long but it is very much worth the wait. One piece of advice I will give is that you should order ahead on the phone so when you get there, the food will be ready! I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great Japanese food!

Combo C
Steve T.

I've past by here quite a bit during my college days and didn't really know about this place. Well back in the area for a while and wanted to see what kind of places people were recommending in the area. Ive been to Japan lived there, been all over asian. I'll tell you this, it is NOT japanese food at all. They may have 1 or 2 items (yakisoba) that you may find in Japan or Japanese restaurants but these are more American style "asian" fast food more toward Chinese style. Got a combo C to try a few things at this sitting. House chicken is basically chopped up grilled chicken in a "chop suey" style stir fry with cabbage slivers of cabbage mushroom and broccoli. Tossed in a heavy soy type sauce. Imo was very salty and didn't finish it. I do not like wasting food and try to take things home etc but actually left the rest behind. 2nd item in the combo is Kaum Poong Kee. I've never heard of this dish before so really wanted to try this. Thick heavy tempura style batter chicken tossed in a sweet slightly spicy soy sauce. It was very heavy and the sauce was too much for me. I left a few pieces behind as well. Was super crunchy and freshly fried however. Overall was just too much salt for me. Maybe a simple teri chicken bowl would be better options here. If this is what you been going to for years more power to you and thank you for supporting small businesses but not for me sorry.

#12 Large Kaum Poong Kee
Michele M.

We love this place. I have been coming here since they opened in 1993 when I worked next door. I would eat here at least once or twice a week to try their different plates. Our go to plate is #12 Kaum Poong Kee the hot & sweet garlic sauce over the twice cooked chicken is so tasty, making you want more. My 2nd favorite is #7 Sweet & Sour Chicken, the sweet & sour sauce is not too sweet, & the perfect portion of sauce poured over fresh vegies and chicken. They offer two bowl sizes regular & large, and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food portions. If you get a regular bowl after tasting their dishes you will wish you got a large. We were so sad when we moved out of state a few years ago as we missed our weekly favorite Yoko's Fast food. Now when we come into town each year this is our first and last stop for our visit so we get our fill. The owner Alex is super friendly & always comes out to say hi. Sincerely your Sactown friends

1. Teriyaki Chicken
Keanu B.

Started working in the area and I'm super strict with my diet so whenever I need something healthy and pretty cheap I always get their chicken teriyaki bowl. It's always consistent, ready in 10 minutes, and tons of protein with rice. The lady is always very friendly in the front as well. Would definitely recommend

Anyway, Clever Koi came to the rescue and it was a great experience! I have been to the location in Phoenix, but it was a dinner visit and the restaurant was very dimly lit. This time it was lunch, so it was nice and bright. The service was wonderful!! I did not catch their names, but the the gentleman and lady who served us were very helpful. We ordered 3 of the Steamed Buns: Pork Belly, Hot Chicken, and the Bun of the Moment, which happened to be Drunken Shrimp, I believe. I didn't taste the Hot Chicken, but the other two were super tasty!! Portions were great and every morsel was devoured. The Krazy Fries were damn delicious!! Packed full of flavor and very filling, it's a great dish to be shared. I can't pass up pork belly!! Lol I forgot what drink my friend ordered, but I had no shame and had the Pornstar Martini, yessir!!! It was quite comical when our server mentioned that most people are embarrassed to order it because of its name, but I proudly said it loud and clear! That drink was perfect for brunch/lunch! Overall it was a great visit, minus the twitching fly that was on our table after we were seated. We didn't know if it was half dead or what, but my friend just swiped it across the table until it fell off. I'm not sure they have any control over flies coming into the restaurant as people enter and exit, but it was off putting to have to shoo them away while you're having a meal and trying to converse. Other than that fly issue, the visit was solid. Prices aren't bad and there's a big parking lot outside the establishment as well as a public parking garage not far away. I highly recommend Clever Koi if you've never been!

So many things looked so good on the menu. I also let the server know that I was hungry too lol! They were quick bringing out the food. I belive Dhillon was our server and he was great too. He helped us narrow down our choices. My friend and I shared the coconut chicken curry pot which was flavorful and had a great balance of meat, noodles, etc. Dhillon suggested sharing it as it was a good size and I'm glad we did. We also shared the tofu salad which was nice and flavorful and also the sweet potato rolls and green tea cheese cake. The only suggestion I would make is maybe putting a small bit of vanilla ice cream with the cheesecake instead of whip cream. My friend and I both thought that combo would hit the spot. Oh they also have a happy hour that starts at 9pm too. I think one of out items might have been off thr happy hour. Overall price was reasonable too. I will definitely be back!

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.

The place was buzzing with loud electronic music and tons of people dining -- I think because the ceiling is so high the noise is amplified.

The menu is confusing because the selections are very odd -- I thought it was a mexican-asian/sushi fusion restaurant -- which I guess it is but it was still really hard to create the best food experience when I couldn't see everything available. My friend was hungry so she immediately put in an order for calamari and I was being called to order the blood orange margarita slushie. When the margarita came it was like nothing I have ever seen before. It looked more like a milkshake or like a creamsicle. I dove in thinking it would be too sweet but it was actually quite delicious and I sucked it back in a second! Also I put in an order for the edamame which sounded really good in the description -- "woodfired" and spicy miso butter -- but when they came they were really spicy and the woodfired element was making me cough, strangely enough -- I couldn't finish them! Finally after waiting forever we got the drinks and apps. It then took another 15 minutes to order our food. Again it was busy and my friend and I were catching up so it wasn't a big deal. We wanted a fairly light dinner so we just ordered one roll -- the Fuego, which had yellowtail and a whitefish, chili, cilantro and cucumber plus a pico de gallo on top -- it was very flavorful -- although a bit spicy for those who are spice wimps like me. Overall, thought it was a good meal but wasn't blown away.

My husband and I visited at a relatively quiet time and were seated near a group that appeared to be regulars. It was clear they had a great relationship with the staff, which is always nice to see at a local business. At the same time, we did notice a pretty significant difference in the level of attention we received. At one point, when our drinks came out, the server was asked where they belonged. He immediately said, "Two go here," referring to the other group. When asked where the third drink went, the response was, "Somewhere over there, I don't know." It was a small interaction, but it captured how much of the evening felt for us. A few items we ordered also came out incorrectly, and at times we felt a little overlooked. Thankfully, the female owner was incredibly kind and attentive toward the end of our visit and really helped turn the experience around. I'm still giving five stars because the food genuinely deserves it, and I completely understand how valuable loyal, repeat customers are to a small business. I'd only encourage the team to remember that new customers may be walking through the door because they specifically want to support local businesses, too -- and a little warmth and engagement can go a long way in turning them into regulars as well. We would absolutely return for the food, and I hope our next visit gives us the chance to experience more of the hospitality that clearly keeps so many people coming back.
