I enjoy "date night" here. The food is tasty and the employees are friendly. I like happy hour because I get to try out different rolls at a lower price :) read more

Yes to sushi, no to chicken teriyaki. Had lunch with a friend who got the chicken teriyaki lunch special. The chicken was mushy, like it disintegrated if you pressed a piece between your fingers. The sushi is fresh enough and it's cheap enough to be A-OK. Also had a ramen bowl and it was huge, hot and very tasty. Lunch is about $10 per person, not super cheap but it's clean, efficient, and has that huge tv with the j-pop videos. read more

Cooked sushi here is really good. On various visits, I have also tried the teriyaki and the sashimi, but neither of those impressed any more than Costco sushi. With that in mind, I would be prepared to spend $15 on a couple of rolls when coming here. 3 stars for really good cooked sushi and a very lackluster remainder of their menu. read more

Awesome sushi spot! I always come here. I guess the colorful pictures help me decided what I want because sometimes I have no clue what some of the contents are. Check out their website for more pictures too. read more

Decent sushi rolls and reasonably priced! The guy at the register/waiter was super attentive and friendly. Haven't tried the sashimi yet, or bento boxes, but all of the rolls were good. Kid friendly as well. Will come back again for lunch-time sushi! read more

It's ok sushi. The dining area is descent. They should get a fly fan by the door so that flies/pests can not enter the dining space.

I don't drop by as often as I did before (if I do, it's usually to pick up my order I placed over the phone) however the food is decent, pricing hasn't increased and Sean is still the best server I've had in Alameda. Whether it's picking up orders or when he's serving, he never fails to check in and is super friendly. I've had interactions with the other staff members and they barely make contact with you (resting bitch face, mumbling, little eye contact). So the 5 stars goes for consistency and Sean! read more

My expectations for a sushi restaurant lunch in a strip mall are not high. However after eating there twice I've been consistently nonplussed by the meals at this restaurant. The California rolls have a white paste it seems like mayonnaise. Be teroki chicken has a sauce that seems to have a kick like MSG. I don't know what's really inside these dishes but they were not to my liking. Environment, service and J-pop and Kpop video Clips are all fine. read more

My husband and I ordered some sushi, tempura and teriyaki chicken to go last night just before closing (open 'til 9pm, which was later than most sushi places in the vicinity.) The wait was about ten minutes, but the food was good, the portions were sizable, and the price was affordable. I would return in a pinch. read more

Price was affordable. I was glad I didn't have to wait until 5 pm to eat, unlike most places that close from 3-5pm. Service was good. I appreciate the pictures of the rolls on the wall with color cranes to indicate what's raw and spicy. There was fruit flies everywhere. I didn't try anything raw, and all the cooked rolls (crunchy or crispy roll, dragon roll, and lion king) were decent, except they stuffed too much rice in all of them. read more

If I could give zero stars I would,Yelp will not let me.My first and last time here,what a waste of my over 30.00 dollars.I got the Bento Box,what a pure down right joke.The 2 item beef teriyaki was a few dry tasteless skimpy pieces of beef with no teriyaki sauce at all,just plain awful with one freakin shrimp and a few vegi tempura for 11.00 dollars.I also ordered a side of Shrimp Tempura and a Awesome Roll that was far from Awesome.The roll looked nothing like the picture on their online menu or the sushi picture on their wall,absolutely false advertising.The Awesome Roll was skimpy..so small that it would be easy to eat 2 at one time in one bite.I will never return to give this place my hard earned money,I definitely will not recommend going here unless you want crappy sushi and you want to throw away money.Yuck,don't say you were not warned read more

Cool place, great service, but dude thought he was slick and tried to charge me twice for the same order and then played dumb. Don't trust these folks since they try and double up orders. Sorry I tipped now since they scandalous.... read more

Cute little sushi spot. Kind of reminds me of a boba spot but sushi. Has a young feel. Videos playing on the big screen up front. Wha yhre me off was ordering at the front instead of at your table. Variety if rolls for a decent price. Will come again when I want sushi fast and cheap. read more

Yo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Alameda, California

Was walking into Lucky and figured I'd grab a bite before going in. I saw the grand opening sign and went in. The prices are good and the rolls are HUGE. Better use of your money than at comparable places on park st. read more

After a long day at Children's Fairyland in Oakland, we stopped in Yo Sushi for a late lunch. There wasn't much of a crowd, but we were outside of the lunch hour. As we walked in, we saw some pretty good deals posted up near the register. We ordered enough sushi rolls to feed 5 of us. The rolls were pretty big considering they were on special and didn't cost that much. We enjoyed our lunch here and would be back again. read more

Love the salmon sashimi! This place has great service and reasonable priced sushi. My favorite roll was the fantasy roll.

I eat in this place at least twice a week they got the best sushi around and I've hate in many sushi places but this one is special you order the deluxe lambada or the crispy these two are the best anyways highly recommend you should all try it read more

I'm actually shocked there are such high reviews for this place. The overall smell is not pleasant, but my husband and I wanted to try somewhere new for our date night. We each got various rolls, however, when we asked for eel sauce on the side they didn't know what it was. Surprising for a place that sells sushi! That sauce is my favorite part..so we ended up leaving still hungry and went to a different restaurant read more

A new discovery for us. This place is fun - small but not tiny, pretty extensive menu with great pictures, too. It is definitely our new go-to place on the West End. Food was tasty, good quality, good service and good price. Hard to beat all that! read more

I got takeout from this place and was happy with it. If you like bargain-priced creative sushi, you'll probably like this place (I do). While the fish isn't top quality the rolls are pretty delicious. I enjoyed the cherry blossom roll and the awesome roll quite a bit, and thought they were very reasonable at about $9 each. I don't think I'd order any plain nigiri there, but I'll probably pick up some of their special rolls the next time I go to Target. read more

Yosushi, the best budget sushi place you can go to. The staff is extremely friendly. Love the sexy korean music videos they play here lol.

A lot of fruit flies flying around while eating. The sushi is good but took a while for our dish to come out because of other customer party tray orders. Not a place I would go back or recommend to others. Place is around 8 to 10 bucks each roll. They should really deal with the pest flying around. read more

Boyfriend and I decided to try this place out seeing it had one $ aka prices were good, and it also had 4 stars. He got their salmon sashimi and blossom roll and I got the lion king and bush roll. The sashimi was so fresh and tasty and the slices were thick and plenty for one order compared to usual sushi places. The lion king was also really good. But I wasn't a fan of the bush roll which was just a salmon and avocado roll deep fried. They put too much of the sweet soy sauce on top, for my liking. The blossom roll was good and we were both stuffed from all the food and still had left overs. Price and quality were great and the people were also pretty friendly too! (: read more

The food is very good and staff very pleasant. Was afraid to order sushi after reading previous reviews but it turns out fresh and very good. Certainly I can recommend this place. read more

Cheap and quick! The price range should definitely be $ not $$. The quality of the fish is not on par with places like Sushi House but FAR better than the Yojimbo food. read more

Great place! Huge selection of delicious rolls at good prices. Quick service perfect for take out. Friendly staff. The free tea if you dine in is very good. Also bento boxes. read more

Definitely one of the best sushi places in alameda. Went here for the first time the other night and ordered the angry lion king which was super good and very well priced. The staff was very kind and a nice atmosphere for eating there. Would definitely recommend yo sushi to anyone! read more

Good spot for lunch and a decent (no frills) spot for dinner. Food quality seems to be high and service decent. It is an order from the counter type place, so not a fancy restaurant if that is what you're looking for. If you want good priced, good food in a casual atmosphere, check them out. read more

Amazingly delicious! Every time Ive brought someone new here they love the food. Fairly priced & the staff is always welcoming and polite.

I don't know why this place has such good reviews. The teriyaki sauce for the teriyaki chicken and beef was extremely watery with no flavor. The rolls were mediocre at best. Tempera was soggy. The angry rolls are literally the non spicy version with Saracha on top. And the prices here isn't that much cheaper than other sushi joints. I rather spend a little more for better food. read more

Good portion for the price. Teriyaki chicken bowl is a kid favorite. Udon and ramen are decent, good soup base, not the best. Great sushi variety. Would come back again. read more

The setting leaves a lot to be desired and feels like a small cafeteria. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you at your table. But the sushi rolls are fairly cheap and delicious. A bonus is that they always have foreign music videos playing on TV and they have happy hour specials. read more

Their sushi rolls are great and their service is very quick. Unlike the Sushi House, there's no crazy lines if you dine in or busy signal when you try to call. Will be visiting again real soon! read more

My go-to sushi place when I am on the go. The have happy hour from 2-6 and the rolls are all solid rolls. I also like that they have pictures on the wall to help you decide. The Yo Nachos are out of this world! And my favorite roll is the Lemon Salmon. The rolls have a little too much rice sometimes, but more is better than not enough. Their Angry Lion King roll is awesome as well. Super fresh! read more

Food is cheap, it's mediocre. Type of sushi you can find at Safeway, taste pretty much the same. I wasn't fond of the rolls, they tasted bland, overcooked, some had way too much mayo. Sashimi doesn't taste fresh. I guess that's you get what you pay for. I would come back only if I'm too lazy to drive to Kamakura, Yume, or Sushi House. read more

I got a bento box with salmon teriyaki and tonkatsu. I also got the ichiban roll. The yellow tail in the ichiban roll was not fresh. The teriyaki sauce was bland and tasteless. The tonkatsu was over cooked and very thin. Overall, a disappointment. Had to throw most of the food out. Total was about $20. read more

Fast, convenient and decent. If you just want a quick fix of rolls, this is the place. Rolls are medium size compared to others, not massive where you have to eat it in multiple bites. This is not the best sushi but for the price and location, it's not bad. The sashimi quality could be better, tastes kind of bland but hey what do you expect when you're only paying $4 for two sake nigiris. read more

I just ate here for the first time before reading any reviews. I was attracted by the huge selection of pretty sushi & reasonable prices. Unfortunately, the food looks much better than the eating experience. After 3 pieces of "Fantasy" roll, on a very cold Dec day, I suddenly got very flushed; had to take my coat & hat off. Later, after finishing the Fantasy, I got a headache-must be the MSG! I really thought people in the restaurant biz knew not to use it any more. I didn't find hair in my food, but while waiting for the take-out, I noticed the cashier drying the plastic spoons & folks with a paper towel, & returning them to the bin. That can't be good. The fish was kinda stale & chewy-did not seem as good as Kamakura's. I guess I agree with Victor G.'s revue. Sorry, Yo Sushi, you need to work on these problems! They can be fixed. read more

I am giving this restaurant an average review because my boyfriend and I love a cheap sushi house and this place fit the bill. The first few times we came it was great fresh cuts of fish and hot edamame, but after having a not so great bite of unagi today filled with scales I can't see us going back. If you're going to go try the lion king roll, it's baked in a special awesome sauce but it is in no way a comparison to a fresh roll with fresh fish and veggies. We're on the look out for a new place for us to be regulars now. read more

Good sushi in Alameda for a great price! The baked rolls are great, the fish is fresh, and the service is friendly and fast. I couldn't ask for anything more. read more
