    Great customer service and great food. Feels homey and everything was very tasty. Definitely one of my favorite spots to stop by after a long hike.

    Spicy Chicken

    Great find! Really enjoyed dinner here so much that we came two nights in a row! I've never had Katsudon with teriyaki sauce on top but it worked and tasted great! The highlight though was the Seafood Chanpone that my wife ordered! The ambiance is simple but the owners are Korean and were wonderful hosts! I might come back to Yosemite just to eat here again! Especially the Chanpone!

    Both rolls!!

    1/26/25 Getting lunch! Shrimp Tempura and Yosemite roll ordered along with shrimp tempura ordered. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 10 minutes. I went in to get it shortly later. Arrived & checked in. Greeted by nice worker, received order, paid for it and left. Q Restaurant is nice. Calm. Lunchtime! Shrimp tempura roll was Yosemite roll was fresh & Delicious? Shrimp tempura app was fantastic! Mother said hers was Great! Good service & GREAT lunch! Highly recommended!!

    Spring rolls

    Personally I think it's 3.75 / 5 A nice friendly place to grab some comfort and familiar East Asian food after a long day of trip. I love my salmon poke bowl, it's light yet flavorful, I'm not sure what is the sauce for my poke bowl, definitely not spicy mayo, but I love it, sort of vinegary, brings out my appetite. It also comes with a miso soup, I love it! Spring rolls are hard to go wrong, be careful with the hot stuffing. Also if you don't like or not sure about eel sauce, do mention that beforehand. Tempura rolls are a bit dry for the rice, there are drizzled with eel sauce, if you're strict vegetarian or you're not sure what eel sauce is, may as well ask for sauce on the side.

    Combo a, udon, rainbow roll, pink roll and the agedashi tofu .
    Annie M.

    Ordered the combo a , udon, rainbow roll, pink roll and the agedashi tofu . Staff got our food out fairly fast and our waitress was very sweet. Got asked multiple times if everything was OK. Food it fairly average, im from orange county and we have a lot of amazing japanese restaurants so it seems unfair to compare a place so secluded to that. I thought the nigiri and the udon the best items we had. The sauces for the tempura and agedashi were fairly plain and could use more sodium and sugar . Overall not bad ,just nothing I'd rave about .

    Bento Beef Dinner Box, Yosemite Roll

    Great dinner! We got a bento dinner box for a nice variety. The food was really good, and the staff was so kind! Would eat again :)

    Kyoto bulgogi
    Pyae A.

    I love this place as the restaurant is clean and the food portion is great and the food as well. Service is great by asking like anything we need so it was so welcoming. We ordered two things kyoto bulgogi and beef teriyaki bento box. Both are pretty good. 8/10

    Matsumoto Samurai's Kitchen, Oakhurst: 2025 Nov 5 (5 of 5)…read more To say today is my lucky day is an understatement. I've been craving Hamachi for weeks, then I saw a post on face book that Matsumoto Samurai's Kitchen in Oakhurst is offering Hamachi Plate today. It's a rare opportunity and I immediately called in to reserve my order. Chef's hamachi today was excellent. The light pink colour has a natural sheen, and the texture is firm yet buttery. His preparation was perfect, allowing the fish to show off its rich and slightly sweet flavour. There is hardly any fishy aroma. I could eat this on its own but my order came with rice and Japanese omelette. The Japanese omelette was tender and slightly custardy in texture, well-seasoned, and has a sweet note. Green salad and ponzu sauce were also included in my order of Hamachi Plate. I devoured every morsel of it. That's how delicious everything was. I know that chefs Yuji and Veronique take great pride in their cooking because it shows in the food they prepare and serve. Thank you, chefs, for continuing to offer the local community and tourists your wonderful cuisine.

We were starving by the time we finally got our food, everything was fried since we decided to get their sampler platter and fried calamari. The food was pretty decent, I think I just got sick of it pretty fast because everything felt very heavy. I would probably only come back for the views next time I'm in the area, and get some drinks and light apps!

    We had been wanting to try this place for a while, and now I'm disappointed we waited so long…read more Matthew was our server and provided exceptional service from start to finish.

The food was bland and lacked flavor across the board. My daughter's chicken was poorly trimmed and had visible fat on it. My own meal didn't arrive with the rest of the table because the wrong plate was brought out, and it had to be remade. By the time I received my correct dish, everyone else was halfway through their meal. Service was also lacking. We had to ask multiple times for drink refills, and there was no acknowledgment, apology, or attempt to make things right after the delays and food issues. For a restaurant that is only open limited hours each week, we expected a much higher level of quality and attention. Sadly, this was one of the worst Italian dining experiences we've had. We hope management takes steps to improve both food quality and customer service.

So when my son asked us to meet him, his lovely wife and our 3 granddaughters for dinner on a recent visit I didn't have my hopes up. Namikaze is a nice quiet restaurant that from its decor could easily be an Italian, French or American restaurant. Just change the paintings on the wall. The Menu is pretty expansive. A full menu of Sushi, noodles, gyoza and rolls made it difficult to choose but eventually we narrowed it down. I always try the Unagi (eel) at any sushi restaurant. It is my barometer for how good everything else will probably be. It was good. I also ordered the Kimono Roll while my wife had Shogun roll. We also tried the Chicken Gyoza. Everything was terrific. Excellent taste and fresh. Next time someone asks me about Fresno I'll say "Fresno! They have good sushi there". Definitely Recommended.
