Was in town visiting from San Diego and my sister in law and nibling recommended this place as it is their favorite sushi spot. It's a nice little clean place with big windows so it feels nice and open. We had a few different rolls, tempura vegetables. Everything was very delicious and the staff is very friendly! We will definitely be coming back on my next visit to Albany! read more

The black hole roll is so yummy. I'd recommend it to anyone who like different flavors together, as it includes seafood, cream cheese and the rice. Just so good. The little macaron ice creams they have is so yummy too. read more

Honestly, this place is so good. Great service, fast, relatively affordable, and delicious! I've had a number of their rolls and they're all excellent. Great go to spot. read more

We got takeout for a work lunch and they owners went above and beyond to accommodate to the needs of my colleagues. The order was ready right on time, they gave us free edamame, and literally helped me carry the food out to my car. Food was great and they gave us extra sauce! read more

Been to a couple of Yo Sushi, this is one of my favorites. The parking is limited, have indoor and outdoor seating, the order taker and server are friendly. They have great sushi rolls, bento box, and a few of their appetizers aren't to bad too. The times I been there was plenty of seating and dining area not too loud, but mainly I do takeout. For being a chain restaurant I give this place my thumbs up. read more

I took my sister to Yo Sushi. She's a very picky eater. I can't eat seafood ( I'm allergic, but I sure wish I could). I've been going here for years and the cook has never failed me. She had prawns and I had to buy a side order of them for her. I had a chicken and beef teriyaki combo. I'm going back for more. So yummy and worth the price!! read more

No frills good sushi and lunch/dinner combos. I love their bento boxes. The owners are super accommodating and always seem to go above and beyond. Very fast too! Would definitely recommend if you're driving by and need a sushi fix or want to get takeout. read more

I am visiting from out of town but my sister lives really close to this place. I was impressed with how the food was served and the amount given! It was very tasty and we finished it all. I would say the ambiance was mellow. They have music playing and it was a bit empty on the day we went ( Monday ). Overall great food read more

We are leaving our review for our Togo order. Our family's been getting sushi here for some time. In our case it is quick easy and just down the street on the street so it's a very quick in-and-out. There's quite a selection of sushi to decide from and and mostly on this trip we were planning on not having the inflight snacks that they offer on Southwest and no meal we decided to treat ourselves to a nice platter of sushi so we got some individual orders for each of us to have our inflight feast. They do a good job too. There's quite a nice selection so if you would rather have sashimi than so she me then sushi The Choice is yours if you want to have chicken or soup The Choice is yours. It just depends on what you're willing to carry. We are so glad we decided to bring our own sushi on the flight. It was a big success and I would do it again in a minute if they didn't offer in flight meals. The trip was 5 and a 1/2 hours so we definitely were hungry when we got to it. read more

Diamond in the rough! This place is CLEAN, doesn't smell, clean bathrooms, no dust hanging from the ceiling vents, pleasing atmosphere, music is just the right volume, bar is very comfortable to sit at and in case this matters, the food is great too! read more

Update to say: Their prices have gone up, but so has their food quality in my opinion. We placed an order here for two 2 item specials with chicken teriyaki and tempura, a futo roll, and a yo special roll. The specials were good - the chicken was much better than I had experienced in the past. They were quick - our order was place over the phone and ready in 20 minutes. I'm keeping it at 3.5/5 because they skimp on the chicken compared to similar restaurants and price points in the area, and the futo roll was oddly salty. Still, yo sushi is convenient. I would hate to see it go, so I'll still come here from time to time. read more

I live close by. Had the sushi party platter and it was surprised good. I absolutely love the udon and sushi from Yo Sushi. The seafood udon is great value. Much better than a won ton soup. I will be a regular. I will be there tomorrow for Lion King and Udon. read more

Yo, if you don't know now you know! Yo Sushi is a quick solid go to for sushi in the Berkeley/Albany/El Cerrito corridor. More deserving of 3 & 1/2 stars. Yes the prices went up slightly but the quality is the same. I also can't stress, the quick turn around. Every time I call, the order is freshly made in 10 minutes. Also, super convenient parking lot on site. Love the spicy tuna rolls and their avocado rolls. My wife is a vegetarian and like the fact that they have a good assortment of vegetarian rolls. I wouldn't consider this fine dining, but yes there is inside and outdoor seating. This is more of a quick, quality takeout for me! read more

** The following review reflects my delivery experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** Yo Sushi sounds so street, but it's more like a fast food rendition of a sushi spot by way of the employee cafeteria. As Clarice said in "Steel Magnolias": "If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me!" Well, as restaurants struggle to survive during this awful pandemic, I refuse to pass judgment over any small business that can survive. But do come sit by me because the rolls were not quite Jamie W. and I expected. Jamie's a big fan of the traditional Alaska Roll with salmon and avocado. The $7.45 version made here, however, has grilled salmon skin, carrots, eggplant, and other assorted veggies. Say what? Not awful but still... Unfortunately the $9.50 Spicy Garlic Tuna Roll was hamstring by the gloppy spicy garlic sauce (photo: https://bit.ly/3lAVdEi). Better was the $8.95 Sake Kama, a good-size portion, nicely charred the way I like it (photo: https://bit.ly/3hLjo0x), and the highlight was the simplest dish, the $13.95 Hamachi Appetizer, eight clean slices, gone in a matter of minutes (photo: https://bit.ly/2YRf749). As Clarice said: "Spoken like a true smartass." FOOD - 3 stars...sushi rolls that border on carnival fare AMBIANCE - n/a...not sure since it was a delivery SERVICE - 3.5 stars...it arrived fast enough though the presentation of the rolls left something to be desired TOTAL - 3 stars..."Drink your juice, Shelby!"

The long and short of it is, I really wish I liked Yo Sushi more. We usually order out from Sushi Go Go, but because we see this sushi spot so often when walking down San Pablo, we decided to try it out. And survey says... yeah, nah. I would call Yo Sushi true fast food sushi as the quality of the ingredients was pretty low. It also didn't taste freshly prepared and the tempura batter was absolutely flavorless. A few bites in we knew we wouldn't come back. Honestly, we'd have likely sent the food back if we'd eaten in house. All in all, if you're looking for quality sushi in Yo Sushi, I'd really recommend looking elsewhere. read more

Amazing food, people, and environment. I always feel so welcomed when I enter this lovely place! One of my favorite restaurants for sure.

The sushi is really high quality. The service is realy accomadating and the senererynis very comforting. Would definitely recommend for just a regular day if you crave sushi read more

Five stars for great service when you just need to stop and have a pot of hot green tea and a couple pieces of inari sushi. Mid-afternoon and needed to catch up on some communication. Never felt rushed and space was quiet enough. read more

This place is simple in approach but has every possibility of sushi you could want they even have about 12 vegan dishes. They also have takeout and delivery. There tempura and udon are delicious as is the huge variety of sushi. I has the Monkey roll. Which is fried plantain withi crab meat and fried tofu is dekciiiis. Their udon soup is also excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful. It's quick and clean too read more

So many items to choose from! Every single time I come here I get overwhelmed with all the options for sushi. I am not, however, complaining. The sushi has been good (not great) and orders come out quickly. Even when it's packed, seating and parking not too hard to find. Definitely not the spot for a large group or even an intimate gathering, best for casual dining. The last time I came here I ordered the tempura udon. I underestimated the size of this dish. I came really wanting something miso size soup and instead got a monstrosity of a bowl. I think that for the price, this dish was a steal. I would order this dish again on a colder day and one where I was hungrier. What stood out to me was the generous servings of tempura and the diversity of the vegetables. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. My partner got the chicken teriyaki and it was okay but nothing special. read more

We were in the area and saw Yo Sushi, which i assume is the same restaurant as the one in Alameda that i love for a huge variety of sushi at reasonable prices. We ordered in person. Most people preordered and picked up. We had gyoza, Three Times a Lady and Ichiban. I thought it the roll sizes were a bit smaller than Alameda. But tasty nonetheless. There were a couple of tables outside that we are at. I would rerun again if i was in the area. read more

Was working on the street right next to this place. Smelled delicious so on lunch I went in to order a Dragon Roll and just a California roll to go. The customer service was good. Store looked clean and prices were about normal to all the other spots I hit. The dragon roll was eh at best. They put the thinnest sliver of Unagi on top I've ever seen! I've included pics. So basically it was a rice roll with sauce on top. If I go back I'll try something else. read more

Yo Sushi - Veggie Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Albany, California

I ordered in from Yo Sushi and got three rolls: Deluxe Spicy Tuna Deluxe Crispy Philadelphia Roll Despite a large number of rolls on their menu, it didn't feel like they had many with salmon, which is my favorite, and the ones they did have were largely cooked. So I ordered the deluxe crispy because it had salmon (albeit fried) and the Philadelphia roll, because despite most people's hatred of cream cheese in sushi, this one had salmon and hits the spot for me. Unfortunately, the only way I can describe the sushi is bland. All of it. Even the spicy tuna. Maybe they needed some sort of sauce? I'm really not sure sure what to say, but they had no taste. Absolutely no flavor. That's what I get for trying a random new place! Would absolutely not recommend. read more

One of our "go to" spots especially during COVID. There are better places for sushi and better places for Japanese food, but the variety of food they have means they have something for everyone. Overall, the food is good and solidly consistent. The sushi is fresh and the servings are plentiful. Prices vary. Some seem high and others are totally reasonable. But if you just want to fill that Japanese food craving - especially if you like fun sushi - go here! FOOD: Good! Solid tasting rice (and if you've read my other reviews, you know I'm a harsh critic here). Enjoy their sushi since the fish is always fresh and the rolls are creative. I've ordered probably a dozen things here and most of it is worthwhile. Chicken teriyaki is only okay - not charbroiled enough for me and the sauce is a bit weak. Tempura is very good! Never over or under done. Gyoza is deep fried and I prefer it pan fried, but it's still good. Love the Magic Ball (you just have to try it for yourself). SERVICE: Only okay. Not the friendliest and not a fan of their packaging. They tend to put all the sushi in one container even though some of it is deep fried which makes the cold sushi warm and warm sushi cold. Even when they don't, they don't use an insulated container so the heat affects the sushi. COST: Good overall. Average of about $10 per roll and you probably need 1.5 rolls to feel full. If it weren't for the fact that they have my daughter's favorite sushi we probably wouldn't come here so often, but it's good enough to keep coming back. read more

This review is solely based on a take out lunch. My co-worker thought to order us all lunch from Yo sushi one day. She was able to order ahead by phone and pick up. The food was ready for pick up soon after and the food was packed up really nicely. I ordered the lunch special which included chicken teriyaki, rice, and CA rolls. The lunch special is priced at $10.95, not bad! The box was well prepared and the food tasted fresh. This place is a really good for quick Japanese meals on the go! Will definitely be ordering again for more work lunches. Thank you Yo sushi! read more

Expensive for the small portion sized sashimi that tastes like jelly. $22 for Yo Sashimi Combo. I was shocked when I received the order. I thought these sashimi might taste better to compensate how small they are. No.. it tastes no better if not worse than the ones in the supermarket freezer. Better go to other places for sashimi, like Tokyo Fish Market. Their rolls are also of very small size. They taste okay but fish layer on top of the rice is just so thin... read more

I am updating my initial review. Got four rolls take out. Parking is a bit of an issue with construction out front. However I sneaked into a red zone and out in 3 min as no line and my order was bagged and ready to go. This time the rolls were all above average. I could taste the different ingredients, all seemed fresh nicely laid out on two plastic tins with plenty of wasabi and ginger. Price was reasonable for the exotic type rolls $44. We have a college kid coming home for part of the summer. This is going to be his spot for sure considering he can eat 7 rolls himself. read more

If your looking to a lowfi place where the employees with ignore you and where you can be over charged for little to no sushi then this is the place for you. You are not acknowledged when you come in. The employees will carry on with their conversations with their backs to you the whole time, and be annoyed when u try and get their attention to get ur pick up order. The real fun doesn't start until you get home, to find you were shorted on sushi. Good times! read more
