Yo Sushi in Martinez is one of our go-to sushi spots. It's a great place if you want solid sushi without paying the higher prices you'll find at many other sushi restaurants. The value here is definitely one of the biggest reasons we keep coming back. Some of our favorites are the jalapeño shooters, which are always a hit, and the Martinez Roll and Morello Roll--both are consistently good and full of flavor. The menu has a nice variety, and everything we've tried has been fresh and satisfying for the price point. This is definitely a regular spot for us when we're in the mood for sushi. The only thing we wish they offered is a happy hour or some kind of specials, because that would make an already great value even better. Overall, a dependable, affordable sushi spot with a few standout items that keep us coming back. read more

First time customer looking for good tasting teriyaki & tempura. The tempura was good but beef teriyaki was lacking flavor, very little sauce so didn't get to taste teriyaki, had to add my own that just made it worse. If I went back I would get tempura again. Great service read more

Yo Sushi - Shrimp tempura roll with spicy tuna and crunchy added on top. Called a hot night roll if you add spicy mayo. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

Small little spot, but such a gem! I really like how they had photos of their sushi rolls along the wall under the menu. It's nice to see what's in it and how it looked. The lady was very nice and provided great service. I believe I saw two people in the kitchen, and the food came out really fast. We ordered the deluxe CA, Mexican and super CA rolls. The rolls were huge compared to other sushi spots I've eaten at. Usually I can eat two rolls, but with one, I was already full. The kids enjoyed it and I think the price is perfect for the amount you get. We will definitely come back again! I might even bring my boyfriend next time. I think he'll love it. read more

Food was good, Server guy's attitude not too great. First time here so I was asking about the menu items, I didn't understand the menu selections at first- guy started raising his voice, clearly he wasn't happy being there, or he was having a not so good day. I even said "I didn't mean to upset you!" And he just ignored that statement. Would have given a higher rating, but attitude, a good attitude is part of the culinary experience. Will not come back. Plenty of other sushi places around.. in the area for business. read more

I love this secret sushi spot! It's between Walmart & Home Depot in the back of this Massive Parking Lot is Yo Sushi . I have to tell you it's one of my favorite places for fresh sushi . Very time I have to drive my wife to work in Walnut Creek & back to Pinole I have to stop at this Sushi Restaurant! It only has 8-9 tables for eat in. When you walk in you'll see the menu & on the bottom crazy amazing amount of chose's of Sushi Rolls. The rolls are delicious fish is amazing fresh. I mainly do the take out & eat at home. I hope everyone try's this small hole in the wall place. It was one of my secret places! I hope you'll love it as I do! Enjoy read more

The food was well prepared and fresh. I ordered a dragon roll and spider roll. The spider roll soft shell crab was fried crispy and perfectly battered. I will definitely order both again. The service was excellent. I was greeted upon arrival and my order was taken and provided in under 10 minutes. The ambience was appropriate. I ordered to go. The inside appeared clean and was odorless read more

Like McDonald's with Sushi. Phoned in my order, picked it up 20 min later. Service was fine. Just picking up a take out order so the lack of ambiance was not a concern. Just an observation about the lack thereof. Counter staff was friendly but look like he was 20 and might not have even known where Japan is. Amazing number of choices with close to 100 different rolls and lots of other items too. Went to my destination. Opened the package. Did not even look appetizing which is not a good. Rice looked gray. To say it was mediocre would be being kind. One thing it is is inexpensive. Sooo, if you want a lot of food for a little, this is for you. Not for me. I will probably try it one more time as it is convenient and any place can have an off day. Will report when I do. Well, not quite true. The truly excellent restaurants do not have off days. read more

This was our second time ordering takeout. The online system is easy and the menu is extensive. Prices are reasonable. Strip mall store in Walmart parking lot. A few tables inside. The food both times has been really done well and fresh. Sushi has been hit or miss for takeout in the past with other places so I really appreciate an option that's easy and so far always tasty! They have a lot more than just sushi, so something for everyone- maybe even my mom! read more

Wonderful small sushi joint. Very yummy. Fairly priced. Awesome staff, very welcoming. Lots of photos on the wall with pictures of all the food options which is nice so you know what you are getting. Is this a super fancy gourmet sushi place with fish flown in from Japan with high prices? No. But it is a satisfying Japanese restaurant with plenty of options s for everyone. I would totally go back. I feel like I'm this day and age it is a fair deal for what you get close to WalMart so you can get some shopping done also. read more

This small and cozy restaurant is excellent. I had the Deluxe Sushi Special. To me, it's equal to when I order pho at a Vietnamese restaurant. If you can't get basic pho right, well... And I feel the same about basic sushi. The sushi was very fresh. The sticky rice used was great. The sushi had a great temperature, taste, and texture. Loved it. The service was good as well. read more

This is one of my go to's for sushi in Martinez. My family and I have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. The sushi is fresh, especially the sashimi.

It's been awhile since I've been back to Yo Sushi in Martinez, next to Walmart and Home Depot. Yo Sushi before the lockdown, was mostly a blend between a takeout/sit in type of place. What I mean by this, is that it's not a place you'd go to necessarily for the ambience to sit down and eat, but it does have seating available for if you want to eat there. You would bus your own tray, and what not, so not a nice sit down place if you were looking for that, but not the worst place for a sit down eating meal. Their menus are all posted next to, and above the counter. One significant change since the last time I've been back is mainly in regards to the prices of everything. I used to eat at Yo Sushi all the time partly because of how affordable everything was. Now, not that it's very expensive, but it's basically about par as a typical sit down sushi place. Of course, not that this really makes a difference currently. But for the price, it may seem a bit pricey for what is mainly a takeout place. With that being said, the food here still the same, as far as what I ordered today. Got something simple, and went with the chicken teriyaki lunch combo, which includes a California roll. Also got a mild spicy tuna, which is my typical roll order back in the day. All tasted good, and the portions were alright, and probably the same as before. All in all, will probably be back in the future, and may not wait as long as this previous period of not visiting here. Will be interested to test out the bigger rolls to see if the quality is still the same with those too, as they do have some tasty special rolls. read more

When you want solid , reasonably priced and dependable sushi, this is the spot you should head to. They offer any roll your mind can think of and they have plenty for you to choose from plastered in pictures on the wall. Today I got the 2 item special and was greatly satisfied with the generous portions. The katsu was a little on the dry side but flavor still nice and the California roll hit the spot. read more

Came in today and it was very slow, cashier was very nice. I got my food fairly quick, but something was off today. The shrimp tempura dipping sauce tasted like strong vinegar which is weird because I always get this dish. The california rolls tasted like they changed the mayo or something they use. Food was great, but definitely can taste the change since I literally order the same things every time. Also noticed the prices spiked a little. I will be back hopefully it's just a bad day. read more

At this point I may as well just order a different sushi roll everyday just to make a point: they're all freaking delicious and hits the spot just right, every time. You won't find fancy-schmancy but there isn't a wrong choice here --how convenient and easy! If you want soup, they're ramen is better than that instant ramen you were eyeing, thinking that will be enough. If you want something crunchy, you have options of tempura + soup or tempura on top or inside your sushi roll. Service is quick, our orders were always made right, wait time is minimal, ingredients are fulfilling and gracious. As an east coast transplant, it's close to home and tastes like home. read more

I wish I could say good things about this place. I'm a sushi person and so for me freshness and flavor are very important. The flavor here is non-existent. The portions are small the soy sauce and Sriracha do not taste right. The pricing for what you received is a little high, it's on par with the other sushi restaurants but you get more and the flavors is better. Fortunately, there are many other choices around here so I don't need to come back. read more

Order at the counter, sit down and your dish is served to your table within 10 minutes. That was my experience at this place. The menu is pretty extensive and intimidating there on the wall, but I ordered the bowl of chicken saimin and my mom got the saimin bowl no meat and extra green onions. I was pleased with the serving size of chicken saimin, it was very filling and the broth was flavorful and not at all salty like I would have expected. The sashimi was soooooooooo fresh and didn't taste fishy at all. I am always a little cautious trying new places that serve fish, but trust my mom's guidance. Good job! read more

Yo Sushi is one of our go-to places when we want sushi because they are close by and quick. As an added bonus, we can order online and just pick it up. There restaurant is tiny and looks like a hole in the wall with only 5 tables, but they have a huge selections of rolls. Yes, many of the options are the same selection of fish and add-ins but in different combinations, but that is like most places. Our favorite roll, and probably one of the main reasons we always come back is their OMG roll. It is a California roll topped with spicy tuna and deep fried unagi. The unagi is what makes this roll delicious. My family loved unagi in general, but sometimes I find it too mushy. Having it deep fried gives it a crunch. I also like the Fiona which is wrapped in soybean paper and the Lemon Salmon which is a California roll topped with salmon and lemon. We also get the tempura shrimp on occasion which is nice and crunchy. This place may not have the highest quality fish, but for a tiny place, it is still good quality. Quite comparable to larger sit down places. Since I have yet to find another place which serves the deep fried unagi roll, we will continue to come back. read more

Yo Sushi - A total of 6 rolls for 2 adults and 2 kids. I think we would have been okay with just 5 rolls. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

Really gone down hill. Prices are crazy expensive now. We ordered two bento boxes and they got our order wrong after tipping them $7. Wish I could have got the tip back. Then they turned around and charged us an extra dollar for the sushi we originally ordered. We are never coming back here again. Yo Sushi is the McDonald's of Sushi! read more

To start out with, I was hungry so I decided to go to Yo Sushi. The place is a hole in the wall and a little run down. I didn't know if they were open or close but the door was open so I went in a called to see if some would answer.. Finally after a few minutes someone came for the back and she asked me if I was getting something to go and I said no.. so, she said seat were I want but you need to order first at the register. I asked a few questions and proceeded to order my usual it was a little pricey, but I was hungry and a bit embarrassed to leave. The food came stages the salad, gyoza and California roll were very good but the Chicken teriyaki wasn't that great. The woman that helped me was very nice. She come up to my table and give me a little bit of money back I guess that she overcharged me for my Chicken teriyaki (in a bento box) was a different price. (lunch special) I might go back again. read more

If u can and have an itch for sushi check out this cute sushi shop. Support restaurant if you can. Take care, stay safe and stay hungry !!! read more

For a small and unassuming business, this place consistently cranks out some very high quality food. They have pictures of every roll on the wall which makes it easier to order. I usually get the Two Item combo ($13.50) with Chicken Katsu and California roll and my other half usually gets the sushi combo ($13.95). The customer service is always really great and friendly. I'd highly recommend this place for casual sushi anytime! read more
