    We were hanging out at the Somerset NJ County Library System Bridgewater Branch--which has a great children's section--when two hangry kids suddenly starving and in need of nourishment. Back in my day, that meant burgers and fries. These two? Sushi. Clearly, kids' tastes have evolved. A quick Yelp search led us to Sushi Yokohama, about 10 minutes away and described as a casual spot with very good sushi. It was also our first time visiting Somerville's Main Street, and we were impressed with the variety of restaurants there. Parking was a bit tight, but we found a metered spot around the corner, with a municipal lot nearby as a backup. We were quickly seated in a comfortable booth and promptly given menus and water. Three of us ordered bento boxes--two sushi and one sashimi--along with gyoza and fried rice. My sashimi bento was very good, and while the sushi was solid, the sashimi stood out as the better of the two. The gyoza was excellent; the fried rice was a bit bland. Service was consistently friendly and attentive throughout and prices were very reasonable for a sushi establishment ($58 for four meals). Overall, a very enjoyable visit. We'd happily return when we're in the area.

    There were 4 of us for lunch specials. We ordered the lunch box specials. Two salmon, chicken, and shrimp teriyaki. The lunchbox specials were decent. You got soup and salad with it. The lunchbox specials comes with three shumai, four California rolls and the meat ordered. The salmon that we ordered was very thin, but it was tasty. The chicken was better because you had more meat. The shrimp teriyaki came with five shrimps. It was decent for the price, but I wish we tried the sushi. The food came out fairly quickly. Within less than 10 minutes. This is our second time here.

    Dancing Eel Roll, Main Street Roll, & Scallop Dynamite Roll (In that order from left to right).

    Another trip here. Still love this place. Service is always fast and friendly. The aesthetic hasn't changed or declined. The food is always amazing. I come here quite often and have never had a bad experience. Main St Roll: A+ Otoro (special): A+ Salmon: A++ (so fresh)

    Spicy Kani salad
    Tanvir H.

    I heard about this shop from people who have come here a few times as they enjoy the options. It is located on main street so be sure to consider metered street parking or a public parking lot. I ordered a spicy Kani salad which wasn't bad but it seemed kinda dry. I may be used to a moist soft crab with sauce when I order Kami salad but this was just the crab meat with chili flakes. It's certainly good for a light appetizer as you wait for your main dish. I ordered 2 sushi rolls from their chefs special menu that they keep on the side wall. One was tropical with mango so it was slightly sweetened. Another had shrimp tempura so there was fried oil taste to it. The environment isn't too loud and the wait staff come by every now and then to refill waters. It is certainly an interesting restaurant. Reasonable pricing. I probably won't order the same specialty rolls again but I think I would like o come again to try something else as it was a pleasant experience

    Excellent sushi at very reasonable prices. Was especially impressed by their variety of 'specialty fish' ie sea bream, amberjack, etc. Only negative was the "Jar" style jalapenos on the yellowtail. should never use jar/canned jalapeños. always fresh.

    A long awaited visit, and frequently called some of the best sushi around! I am glad we finally got to visit. The menu has a lot to pick from, with very affordable prices and fresh tasting fish! There is a long list of rolls and special rolls to choose from, as well as col and hot appetizers, cooked entrees, noodles and more. My table shared the tuna tataki (which was big enough for all 6 of us to share, believe it or not!) We all got rolls and sushi meals, and everyone was very satisfied. The portions were generous, and the service was fast without us feeling rushed. This is a BYOB restaurant, right in the middle of downtown Somerville. Its a great spot, but very difficult to find parking during peak hours (Friday/Saturday around dinner). We recommend making a whole day out of it or carpooling if you are going with a group. Not the best for larger groups, as most of the seating are booths. Its a little difficult to put a large table together. A party of 6 or less is perfect. We absolutely loved it here and will be back soon.

    Also just wanted to shout to Sushi Yokohama for having great delivery. It always delivers fresh and extremely well packaged.

    Cucumber wrap sushi
    Parag B.

    Fantastic sushi restaurant! My wife and I love this place. I tried some different things today. I got a cucumber wrapped sushi. I thought it was bland and lack flavor. Also, I got the fried shrimp. It was delicious. But, the end pieces tasted too oily because the shrimp was fried. My wife's rolls were delicious! Spicy tuna rolls. Tuna tartare delicious!!! We got take out, and excellent service.

    Casual ambiance for Japanese restaurant. Decent food not impressed with taste of shrimp dish but portion large. Serve ce good.

    California Roll, Yummy Yummy Roll, Eel, Lobster King Roll
    Tanisha N.

    Food is always consistently tasty, especially the specialty rolls! It's a great local spot to visit and is nothing super fancy, but the staff is great. I appreciate their prices being affordable which is hard to find nowadays.

    Kamikaze Roll
    Laura F.

    I wish I lived closer to Somerville because this would be my weekly sushi spot! Service was quick and our server was simply the sweetest, by helping my Mom choose a roll that wasn't spicy and it was so delicious! She ended up with the Kamikaze roll. I ordered the salmon avocado roll, a classic that didn't disappoint. The pumpkin tempura roll was warm and a fun change from the sweet potato tempura roll I usually get. But the MARS roll...dang! So yummy. There are so many other options to choose from so I'll have to make a trip over here again soon!

    Miso Soup Sweet Potato Roll Peanut Avocado Roll
    Saniya S.

    I'm so glad Sushi Yokohama is open again! I came here with my friends and had amazing sushi. We all got the lunch special which came with 2 rolls, soup and salad for $10.95! I'm vegetarian, so my options were limited but I got the sweet potato roll and the peanut avocado roll. I also got miso soup as one of the sides and the soup was soooo good! Definitely needed on a cold day. We got our food pretty quickly after ordering which was really appreciated.

    Edamame
    Pam M.

    Always have loved it here. Was so sad when they had to close due to the fire up the block for all of those months. Have been back a few times & picked up take out. Always so fresh and delicious. Was there on Sunday with a non sushi eater, which is fine because they have so many cooked Japanese options, even Hibachi. We started with Shumai & edamame. My friend had scallop & chicken Hibachi, I had sushi, eel & salmon sushi as well as a specialty roll, all so fresh and delicious. We both left happy and full. My friend tried my roll and liked it! Maybe he will broaden his horizons in the future. The staff are all so nice, we went early so no wait (@ 4:30 pm) but as we were leaving an hour or so later the place was really filling up, I'd suggest a reservation even on a Sunday

    Weekend specials!

    Any idea on when they are re-opening at the new location?

    They are now open.

    Has this restaurant closed down? When I call the number get an auto message that the number is not in service.

    I believe they are doing renovations or are moving close by, this is what I've been told

The yellowtail is flavorful without being too fishy and the salmon cuts are consistently high-quality. The red tuna is alright. Albacore and sea bass are both good.

Even the plating is beautiful. The environment here is very welcoming. Even when it's completely full, the music and conversations are never overly loud. Used to be BYOB but now has a drinks menu and bar. I haven't tried the sake, but the NJ wines are decent. The desserts are limited. The oreo tempura ice cream is interesting though and unique to this location. I wouldn't recommend getting any desserts, though. I'd fully recommend coming here! It's the best sushi in the area.

They have a bunch of things that you can order from on a list, and each one came out tasting really good. Everything we ordered from the kitchen list came out freshly fried and crispy, or cooked or made just the right amount. Sushi and sashimi both looked and tasted fresh. Staff and employees here were pretty helpful as well! I'll give a warning to be careful about how much you order and eat at this place though. The restaurant has a policy that you can order all you want, but you MUST finish eating everything that you order, otherwise you'll be charged for any big leftover waste. Just a heads up to let you know, so don't order too much! Interior has a pretty cool design, but it can also feel a bit cramped when there's a bunch of people sitting. We could also see the sushi chefs preparing our food at our table, so that was cool to watch in the distance.

I was assured that it was perfectly fine as long as we arrived before closing. Unfortunately, from the moment we sat down, we felt rushed. Within seconds of being seated, we were asked if we already knew what we wanted to order. Our soup, salad, and appetizers were all brought out at the same time, making the meal feel hurried. During the hibachi cooking, the chef handled raw meat and then immediately used the same utensils to touch the cooked rice, vegetables, and other food being served to everyone, cross contaminating everything. Before we had even finished our first few bites of our entrées, the server brought over takeout containers and asked what we wanted boxed up. We had literally just started eating, which made us feel even more rushed to leave. To make matters worse, at the end of our meal, my brother-in-law pulled out his chair to use the restroom and discovered a large COCKROACH crawling on the floor. I immediately informed our server, who simply apologized and swept it away. While I wasn't looking for a free meal or any kind of compensation, I expected at the very least for a manager or owner to come over (they were there), apologize, and acknowledge the situation. We've been to this restaurant several times over the years and have always given it another chance despite previous disappointments. Sadly, this visit was by far the worst. Between the rushed service, the food safety concerns, the cockroach, and the complete lack of management response, I can honestly say we will never be returning. This experience was incredibly disappointing and, frankly, disgusting. Surprised they are in business. We couldn't be the first for this experience. Never in my life had I had such a bad experience that I want to call the health department to complain - guess there is a first time for everything.
