A awesome place to get sushi but they have a horrible business plan!!! online they close at three but their kitchen closes at 2:30. where people go to get food and the kitchen closes at 2:30 if you want to go in and sit and shoot the shit for 30 minutes I guess that's fine but if you close at 2:30, then you close at 2:30 read more

Yoshi Sushi: All-You-Can-Eat... but also All-You-Better-Respect-the-Rules Let me start by saying this: "All You Can Eat" at Yoshi Sushi is not a meal... it's a legally binding challenge. I walked in confident. Hungry. Delusional. I walked out humbled... and slightly monitored. First off, the deal sounds amazing--$29.99 all-you-can-eat sushi? Say less. I immediately started ordering like I was preparing for a competitive eating documentary. "Yeah I'll take the Rainbow, the Volcano, the Godzilla, the Spider Man, the Yoshi, the Jurassic, the Ocean Star, the Dragon, the Red Dragon, and emotionally... I'm not okay." Food starts coming out and I realize two things: 1. Everything is actually really good 2. I have made a terrible, irreversible decision The Volcano Roll? Erupting with flavor. The Godzilla Roll? Destroyed my self-control. The Spider Man Roll? Saved me from ordering even worse things... barely. And the Crazy Roll? Accurate name because at this point I've lost all sense of reality. BUT HERE'S THE THING... Yoshi doesn't play games. You see that tiny line on the menu? "Please do not waste food... additional charges will be applied." Oh, they mean that. This is not a suggestion. This is a warning from people who have seen things. Halfway through, I'm slowing down. The table is full. My spirit is fading. And suddenly... I feel it. Eyes on me. Not aggressive. Not obvious. Just... aware. Like the sushi itself is watching to see if I finish it. At one point I considered hiding a roll in my pocket like a criminal, but I'm pretty sure they would've sensed it immediately and charged me emotionally AND financially. Pro tip: Order in rounds. Do NOT let your ego order for you. Your stomach cannot cash the checks your confidence is writing. Also shoutout to: Purple rice option - didn't know I needed it, now I'm questioning regular rice entirely Appetizers - gyoza and tempura came in hot like they knew I was about to overdo it Service - fast, efficient, and quietly keeping track of your life choices By the end, I finished everything on my plate out of pure respect and mild fear. AI Summary (but real): Food: Fire Value: Incredible... IF you don't get penalized Service: Friendly but lowkey observant like FBI agents Experience: Fun, chaotic, slightly stressful in the best way Final Verdict: All-you-can-eat here isn't just a deal... It's a bet. And Yoshi is very comfortable letting you lose. read more

This is hands down one of my favorite sushi spots, and I come here regularly -- not just for the food, but for the experience. First, I have to shout out Carrie, my absolute favorite waiter. He is truly one of a kind. His personality is amazing, he's incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about both customers and staff. He's always doing thoughtful things -- even giving little gifts to coworkers and guests -- which says so much about the kind of person he is. Every visit is better because of him. That said, every single staff member here is wonderful. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Even when the restaurant is super busy and packed, it somehow never feels chaotic or rushed -- which I really appreciate. The seating is another huge plus. The tables are large, the booths are super comfortable, and most of the seating options are booths (which I personally love). There's also a full bar, and the drinks are really good. The food? Always fresh and made to order. The all-you-can-eat deal is amazing and absolutely worth it. Some of my favorites: * Imperial rolls * Dragon roll * Pork gyoza * Cheesy wontons * Fried rice And this might sound silly -- but above all else -- their chicken nuggets are UNMATCHED. Truly. I don't know what they do to them, but they're perfect every time. Another thing I really love is that they never rush you. You can take your time, enjoy conversation, and eat at your own pace. As a slower eater, I appreciate being able to order food gradually so everything still comes out hot and fresh. Lastly, the bathrooms are large and spacious, and I really appreciate that the handicap stall includes a changing table -- that extra thoughtfulness doesn't go unnoticed. Overall, this place consistently delivers amazing food, incredible service, and a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend -- especially if you get the chance to be served by Carrie! read more

We were pleasantly surprised by how great Yoshi Sushi was. We usually have lower expectations for AYCE restaurants but all the food we had was delicious. The service was fast and accommodating. AYCE is $20 Mon-Fri from 11-3, otherwise it's $28. There are some items that aren't included in the AYCE and are noted on the menu. They have purple rice available by request, which they say is a crossbreed rice considered to be a superfood due to its higher nutrient content and digestibility. I liked the texture and preferred it over white rice. Their rolls were a little heavy on the rice. We tried a few teriyaki dishes and were able to ask for just the protein without the side of rice. My favorites were the scallion pancake (comes with curry sauce), chicken/beef teriyaki (very tender), dinosaur roll, sesame balls, and the red bean ice cream. read more

Service is great...definitely plan accordingly when it's the weekend or after 4pm during the week. They get can get packed pretty quickly because of their all you can eat sushi. Personally I prefer them over Lucky AF. However, if you want more interesting sushi options and less rice on your sushi, lucky af is the place to go. But this location is my favorite because of the cost, freshness of the sushi, service and how good their sushi is...8/10 read more

The food was great, I had the all you can eat. I recommend chicken teriyaki, volcano roll, & cheesecake. Service was great. The restaurant is super pretty & tidy! read more

Went to yoshi sushi with my bf on a Wednesday night and it wasn't too busy. We did the all you can eat option which was around 27.99 each. The sushi was okay - not bad but also nothing to brag home about. We also ordered the pork gyoza which was very good The spring rolls were doughy and not a great crunchy consistency so that was disappointing. Pad Thai was ok My bf got the yellow fin jalapeño was the best in his opinion. He loved it. Service was fast and our waiter was very kind. read more

We went on a Saturday and had no trouble getting a table for 3. It was busy but not overcrowded. Got the all you can eat so we could try many different sushi rolls all for one price. The Habachi was also very good. Everything was fresh and tasty. Lots of options. The server was excellent and very helpful. Nice place, you will not be disappointed read more

I've really enjoyed coming to Yoshi sushi and doing their all you can eat option! It's very convenient whenever I'm in the willow lawn area and the service is usually fast and friendly! I often come with a book to just sit and enjoy a long lunch. Ive found a couple other spots I'm gravitating to more right now for sushi but I still very much enjoy yoshi and return there quite a bit! read more

Move over Sushi King, there's a new all-you-can-eat sushi in town! haha. I met up with one of my friends here one afternoon when they first opened up. Plenty of space and were served pretty quickly. The sushi that I've picked turned out amazing! I sadly had to leave behind the rice because it def gets you filled up! Interior is beautiful and we were taken care of. I def recommend and will be coming back for all you can eat! read more

Came here for the all you can eat($26pp). I got the RockNRoll, Fire In The Hole, Jurassic, RVA, Red Dragon, and Mamba Out roll. Most of the Sushi was really good I personally liked fire in the hole and RVA. I didn't like red dragon or mamba out. Service was very average at best, and can be a lot slower depending how crowded it is. They have a lot of items to try and for the price, there is good value and variety of things to have. I would definitely come back again! Food(50%): 7.6 Staff/service(25%): 6.0 Value(25%): 8.0 Overall: 7.3/10 read more

The food was really good, but there is a limit to tuna tataki, jalapeño yellowtail and a few other appetizers, so some items are not really all you can eat. The service was really good and the atmosphere was really nice as well. I would return, but the all you can eat should have an asterisk * next to it. read more

Greeted immediately with a warm smile by a gentleman when we walked in. Felt so welcome. First impression was great! The hibachi was so delicious I love it! Staff were friendly. Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal. Will be back soon read more

Extremely impressed with this AYCE sushi restaurant. We had an amazing server, I wish I remembered his name. He was so attentive and friendly. We ordered appetizers and a round of sushi all which came out very quickly. The amount of fish on the rolls blew mind compared to other AYCE sushi restaurants. Especially the hand rolls. My partner has an avocado allergy and they accommodated two rolls without the avocado which we really appreciated. The tempura shrimp inside the Jurassic roll was really tasty! We were also very impressed with the quality of the fish used in all of the rolls. We will definitely be coming back when we're craving sushi! read more

The service was great and fast, but the sushi was not very good. Nothing was cold or fresh. I couldn't eat all of it. Plus, they have "if you waste food we charge extra." Which is BS! I bought the food, but if you can't make good Sushi I wouldn't eat it. read more

Vey clean atmosphere, our waiter was very pleasant and knowledgeable We tried 4 appetizers; shrimp shumai, crab sticks, spring rolls, & cheese wontons.. all were delicious The sushi ; spider man, Yoshi rolls & were cooked & seasoned to perfection! Will definitely be returning here! read more

Absolute heat.. mark my words this joint can get faded up any day of the week. Make sure you touch the all you can eat deal or you missed. Only complaint I would have is they have some busted ass hibachi steak but the servers are absolutely fantastic. RFK better not touch these ingredients for this pack. Ask for Adam he might be the Tokyo goat. read more

Yoshi Sushi is an AYCE sushi and hibachi. Their lunch deal is $18.99 on weekdays and $25.99 for weekends or holidays. It's a very lovely interior with beautiful designs. It is very clean, and spacious. I was surprised there wasn't more customers. I made a reservation for lunch but that isn't necessary. It's an order a la carte for AYCE, so it's made fresh to order. I loved a lot of the appetizers, like the crab salad, seaweed salad, wonton with imitation crab meat, salmon. The edamame was a bit saltier, and the calamari was very crispy but ok. The sushi was good, I mainly order and eat on salmon, tuna and eel. It was very good! The hibachi is also so good!! They make their beef medium. It's very tasty and tender with a lot of garlic. The veggies are also made perfectly and so juicy. The beef fried rice has a good wok taste. You can just order the beef without anything else too!! The sushi was so good but overall, I give 4/5 stars for the slow service. We arrived around noon, and there weren't many customers during lunch yet it took the servers a very looong time to get us even just waters, or to bring us small plates, dipping sauce cups, extra chopsticks, etc. It also took a while before the food came out, but once it did, it was all at once. Yoshi Sushi is def my go to sushi place in RVA! I'll be back again!!! read more

100% recommendation... our server was so attentive and nice!! Those helping to seat and drop off items were also a pleasure. Found this place on yelp to find an all you can eat before going to Altria for a show. Food was good! Mushroom soup was way too peppery but our other items were great. We tried: shrimp tempura, calamari, gyoza, kani salad, chicken fried rice, chicken udon noodles, steak hibachi, shrimp tempura roll and dinosaur roll. I also got a lemon drop martini that was tasty and well made. Cute interior, sea life themed. Lots of fun wine bottle storage. read more

An all you can eat upscale japanese spot worth going to. The Pad Thai is delicious, and the hibachi options are a meal is not an appetizer portions. The sushi rolls are ample and premium sizes, too. You must go hungry, and yes, order an adult beverage too! Richmond VA was a great vibe. It's 25.99 for the all you can eat menu. There's also an a la cart option too. read more

There's a lot of options for what you can order which I was really surprised about! Service takes a while though, about 20-30 minutes for food to come out when you order so you really can't eat your fill. Also the sushi was okay, it was mushy and there was more rice and sauce than anything. Everything tasted pretty much the same. The pad Thai was really good and so was the cheesecake. The place was also pretty and clean read more

First visit to Yoshi and first visit to an AYCE (all you can eat) sushi place. The interior is pretty much the same as the previous tenant (king crab) with nautical/fish theme Large bar area Pretty wide selection of special rolls, comparable basic rolls. Multiple appetizers. There are also bento boxes, noodles bowls and rice sides For AYCE everyone at the table must order that option. It includes soups, salads, appetizers, both basic and special rolls and dessert. No drinks included. There is a 2 hour table limit Our server was friendly and fast. Food came out relatively quickly I felt the spring rolls and tempura items could have been cooked longer to be crisper Edamamme was cold AYCE is definitely a good value. Rolls were a nice size so if ordered Ala cart they would be a value as well. The bathroom wasn't as clean as it should have been for a restaurant (0 for atmosphere) +1 Service + 1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation + 0 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value read more

Dinner buffet provided generous servings of fresh Fish and not just rice. The best Unagi (eel) I have ever had. We had a new server but he was energetic, responsive and served with a smile. The restaurant had booths and tables properly spaced, so no room problems. My only suggestion would be to serve hot tea in kettles instead of just throwing a tea bag in a mug of hot water.. read more

Our party of 7 got the all you can eat sushi for dinner. Everything we ordered, especially the sushi was very good. It was a good value for our table, even though some of the people in the party probably would have saved a little bit by ordering their items separately and not the all you can eat option. But, if one person at the table orders the all you can eat, then everyone at the table need to order the all you can eat, which is completely understandable. read more

Definitely a quantity over quality restaurant. For a relatively cheap price for AYCE sushi, you do get your money's worth in ordering as much sushi as you want. But quality? It depends and it's hit or miss on which ones you order. Only giving a three because it was ACYE and there were some sushi that were actually good. Side note though, my waiter smelled like he was smoking all day and the bus boy had some serious B.O.....so just keep that in mind. read more

Service leaves a lot to be desired the first red flag is that they do not have a host/ess that stands at the host/ess stand, you awkwardly stand there until the manager (im guessing) finally looks at the door and decides to seat you. The waiter/ess that are running back and forth to process other tables checks at the register do not even acknowledge you and let you know that they will be with you. The waiter that actually served us was meh, he did his best, i'm guessing, as he did make sure that we were informed on what was included in the AYCE price and what was not. But we had to ask for straws, chopsticks, and was not even offered a refill on water. Food was meh, nothing to write home about, but i wanted to actually throw everything up upon looking up and realizing how many dead bugs was in the light above our table. I understand it's the food industry, if you knew exactly what was in every restaurants kitchen, you'd never want to eat out again. But the fact that they don't even care that customers can look up and see this is actually insane. As we were walking out and glancing at the other lights, they were like this as well, gross. Would avoid this place 100% unless you'd like some extra "protein" in your sushi. If by some chance the owner of the restaurant is reading this, if these lights can't be opened up and cleaned out on a regular basis, CHANGE THEM! home depot sells cheap light fixtures that can be cleaned and not sit and accumulate dead bugs. Also, please fix your A/C using box fans around the restaurant is kind of... odd but you do you, i will not be returning, so feel free to do whatever, it's your restaurant i guess. read more

Yoshi Sushi's all-you-can-eat sushi option is a great experience. It's a little pricy for dinner ($26), but very much worth it when you consider the amount of sushi that you will be getting. My favorite sushi options were the Orange Dragon, which was very fishy with a nice spice and sauce, the Smoked, which was wonderfully-smoked salmon and cream cheese, and the Hawaii salmon, which had a little mango (although I hoped it would have more). If you're ready for a wild time, I would recommend the Tropical - it has a huge, creamy slab of banana on top of it, but as expected it pretty much just tastes like banana. The cheesecake is great and also included in the all you can eat, if you have room for dessert. read more

It took many years of friends aghast, but I finally tried sushi for the first time here, at an AYCE sushi spot. Had I known ahead of time of that requirement, I would've gracefully bowed out. Alas, I was with a group of 6, so I was along for the ride. Fortunately, their menu offered various cooked options as well as part of the AYCE special, and my friends repeatedly assured me that their pricing was extremely reasonable. I tried a couple pieces of sushi -- the tuna and the omelet -- and that was plenty for me. I can assure you, it is not my thing. I don't like the texture at all. In addition, I had the miso soup (very good), beef hibachi, beef fried rice, the pork app, and the birthday cake ice cream cup. I did get confused ordering the hibachi, as our server asked what kind of rice I wanted and I somehow didn't realize it'd be an extra massive serving of fried rice -- I couldn't humanly finish it but fortunately they did not charge me for the extra rice. Our server repeatedly referred to himself as the "Asian Persuasion" (I don't know why) but he was on top of things. Steered me against the tofu skin sushi too, which, after seeing it, I was glad. Also tried the lychee martini (good) and the plum wine (nope). It's conveniently located in Willow Lawn. I wouldn't be opposed to a return visit to satiate sushi loving friends, but I'll stick to the hot food (and that ice cream cup!). read more

Five different people not of the same household ate at the restaurant on Tuesday evening. One of the staff was sitting out among the guests sounding like he was coughing up a lung! Two days later, every one of us came down with the flu. It was reported to the restaurant and they denied any of their staff being sick! This is just terrible! read more

This is my go to place for sushi and bento lunches. Their prices are fair and reasonable and their interior is clean. Every service person is quite friendly and nice and will treat you with a smile. I haven't met one employee that was grumpy. This particular day, I went in for a Bento box lunch. I didn't realize how much food they give you and had to take half home! The food was steaming when I got it and the soup was hot. The box is so nice to have a neatly compartmentalized tray and it was a well balanced meal. I definitely keep this on my short list and have recommended it to several people, most of whom have come here on that recommendation and also were very pleased!! The only problem you might run into is they are a bit slower with service, but if you are able to take that into consideration and plan accordingly, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. read more

My boyfriend and I came here for the AYCE option. For dinner, it's a bang for your buck. Priced considerably greatly compared to AYCE in NYC. The fish quality is actually really great and the fried food was fresh out the fryer. The mango sago definitely sat out for a while. The waiter we had was pretty cool and super considerate the whole time. Left full and each piece of sushi was just soo good! read more

Great quick service. A large variety of fresh All You Can Eat sushi. The place had a great decor and was very inviting!

I was excited about coming. I'm a sushi person and love a good AYCE. Unfortunately this was a bit disappointing. The restaurant seemed a bit dingy, with sticky booths. Menu was decent size but the food was a bit lacking. The rice seemed old and dry in the rolls and hibachi. The service was great though. Hibachi steak was chewy and the steamed rice I asked for was also chewy and dry. The sushi rolls fell apart when I tried to pick it up with chopsticks. The kani salad was also weirdly chewy which is unusual. Sad that the lunch wasn't what I hoped. read more

Heard about this relatively new sushi place and decided to give it a try! I think their specialty rolls were decent but had too much rice to filling ratio and the rice was a little too soft. I also wish they were more generous with their sauces or seasoned their meats a little more. -Jurassic - decent tempura shrimp (crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside) with spicy imitation crab meat on top -Yoshi - fried sushi with spicy shrimp and avocado inside. I liked how crispy it was, but because it was fried, the fillings including the rice was overly mushy -Orange dragon - standard spicy tuna filling and salmon on top Overall the servers were really nice and the restaurant was spacious. I think they also have AYCE lunches and dinners as well as a la carte. Unfortunately their sushi just didn't meet my standards but I might go back to try other menu items. read more

The food was amazing and are server Mr James was so nice he recommended stuff he was kind it was my first time eating it so it was good

Wednesday 3/23/22 1:05pm First impression was wow! I love the open space, the floor, the whole set up from as soon as I walked in the door. Talked a little at the hostess stand and found out it was all you can eat for 14.99 during lunch. Time from 11:00-3pm. Then they close And open back up at 4pm. They offer the same menu for dinner but of course it is a little more expensive. I ordered miso soup which I LOVE and theirs was delicious. I also ordered the house salad w/extra ginger dressing, very good. I ordered, 2 orders (4pieces) of tobiko/masago roll. 1 order (2 pieces) Shrimp tempura (appetizer) Which is literally just the fried shrimp as seen in photo. If you want shrimp tempura roll, you have to say shrimp tempura "roll" Which I forgot and I ended up with just shrimp. But it was still good. The tobiko/masago roll was yummy. Then I ordered vegetable hibachi, I guess I should have specified fried rice but this was good with added soy sauce. Overall a great experience. Worth every bit $14.99. Ambiance was great for me eating alone but I can totally see this as a nice place for a romantic date. Be careful though, while it's all you can eat, you will be charged a "waste charge" if you order food and don't eat it. lol they are not playing about wasting food and I can't blame them. Of course my pet peeve is a dirty bathroom, especially in a restaurant. I had to go check it out. It Failed!! and everything was going so well. Photos wouldn't upload, sorry. Check them out, they are at willow lawn. read more
