My family and I have become regulars at this location for quite a while now. We were here last night around 6:45 PM and the waitress greeted us really sweetly with a "I haven't seen you guys in a while"...which is probably about two months since we last came here. We used to come every week because the sushi here is pretty fresh, priced right and service is usually good. We just haven't been coming as often since we're so busy traveling. The waitress was really sweet when she saw me trying to take a picture of my brother and my son and offered to take a group photo for us, then she asked if we were celebrating anyone's birthday...which we happened to be celebrating mine. Overall, you can't go wrong dining here. You get your money's worth, plus friendly service. Highly recommended!! read more

It was a last minute chance before Christmas shopping at Walmart. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality of salmon and would come again. I am a salmon snob so that's saying something! We got 4 orders of salmon nigiri, Gyoza and tuna tataki. Simple fast food sushi fix. read more

Good solid food, nice friendly staff. I've had good experiences here. Many entree's to choose from.

This is our family's go-to sushi spot. Our daughters ask for it by name every time we tell them we're eating out. Their Dragon Rolls, Boba Tea, Combo Tempura and Wakame Salad are staples in our home. We love Yo Sushi! read more

Fresh, delicious, reasonably priced. We are happy to have found our new go-to restaurant for sushi. The beef teriyaki and chicken katsu are amazing quality and so delicious. The ramen was delicious too. The people who work there are so nice and the restaurant is very clean. read more

4 stars because they put a lot of rice and the cucumber wrapped rolls were not the same quality as happy sashimi's Pinole valley. The cucumber wrap wasn't even, unpeeled, and thick. The sushi selection is countless and it's good for the price. Would I come here again? Yes for cheap and good enough quality. The place is a small sit down establishment. read more

I ordered the Cherry Blossom role as well as the Poke roll! They were both very delicious and the raw fish was very good, not slimy! I also got the black milk tea with pearls but it wasnt that great. The boba was kinda hard and the drink was okay. Great vegetable tempura and ramen! Overall the service is great and the people are very nice! It was really good price and a cute little place! Recommend if youre in the area! read more

My friend had seen this place from the freeway, and it's close to her work, so we decided to try it. It's not an impressive place: You order your sushi at the counter, you seat yourself, and you bus your own table. BUT, the sushi is good! I enjoyed each of the 4 rolls we ordered, especially the Deluxe Lambada and the Martinez rolls. And the bill only came out to $39, including two tapioca black milk tea drinks with pearls, which is a bargain for good sushi. So if you're not looking for a fancy restaurant, but simply want some good sushi at an affordable price, check out Yo! Sushi. read more

First time here and wanted to come here based on all the positive reviews on Yelp. For lunch, we shared the Travis burrito for $7.95- it had all my favorite ingredients inside and on top. We also shared the lunch special for $7.95, which was chicken teriyaki and 6 CA rolls. I was disappointed in the chicken meat. I prefer dark meat, but they use white meat and it was very dry, even with the teriyaki sauce. And the pieces we got included a lot of little scraps. The CA rolls were pretty big in size and pretty good. No salad or soup included like most bento boxes have though. The Travis burrito was thick, but they cut it into 5 very skinny slices. It tasted better than it looked but it didn't stay together very long and was difficult to hold and eat, due it being so thinly cut. Visually, I like sushi that is cut into the normal size slices. Maybe because of the price, the roll was made smaller in size, so if they cut it into normal slices, u would only get 4 pieces? I liked the oversized menu board and sushi display board when u first walk in. The wall decorations in the hallway, near the restrooms were cute too. Overall, it was a small, but cute place to eat at. Maybe they are more known for their sushi than their bento boxes. The person at the counter was very friendly and helpful. Maybe if in the area, I will try their other locations to compare. read more

This sushi place was just AMAZING!!!! They have a big selection. When we ordered, they told us it would be a 15 minute wait, when in reality it was 7. The sushi was very tasty and the people were very welcoming. read more

Yo Sushi - Yo sashimi : 16.95 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

This place is pretty good considering it's a pretty small shop. Of course small joints are usually the go to places! There are plenty of rolls to choose from along with rice plates and sashimi. Service is more of a self serve for utensils and drinks and bus your own dishes type of place . Most of the time they are pretty quick on their food and good at bringing everything to you. If you have any concerns make sure to address them as soon as you get your food otherwise that will be the only time they will be coming to you. You can also walk up to the register and mention anything of course. If your in the area stop by. read more

Thing with a sushi spot like this, you go in knowing it is not going to be the best sushi you have ever had. With that, prices are decent and sushi isn't that bad. It's a good spot to grab some quick takeout on your way home. I have never had a problem with this place. read more

Good sushi for the price. My go to is the Poki rolls (6.50). Its like having a tuna roll with a side of wakame salad. Right in the Home Depot/Walmart shopping center so no issues with finding a parking spot. Its a small dining area but I never had an issue finding a table to sit and eat. read more

Whenever we come the cashier Alex always gets my order wrong. He's the worst employee here. EVERY TIME I come my order is wrong. He needs to get fired. All the other cashiers are amazing but ALEX sucks read more

I should have known better than to get sashimi at fast food sushi place, but I did it anyway. Unless you want to be up all night with stomach pains, I'd suggest steering clear of anything raw from this place. My boyfriend got the cooked salmon and he was fine. The food (other than the raw fish) actually tasted pretty good for $10/plate. But I just can't give more than 1 star to a place that got me sick. read more

Really good sushi great size portions and on the larger side for rolls. Highly recommend

I came here with my Son to try a new place. Never again. Unfortunately the Rainbow roll tasted and had the consistency of a 7-11 cooler section roll! The Lion king was sweet almost like they used miracle whip instead of real Mayo! Ugh read more

Disappointed with the size of the rolls. Flavor was good but definitely way too little sushi for the price.

Super yummy rolls very clean and fresh tasting! Good quick service, i definitely recommend eating here :)

My wife and I have been coming here for years. This place has always kept the same designs of food and size of their rolls. Unlike a lot of other sushi restaurants that make their rolls smaller. This place has always been a great "go to" for our sushi cravings. read more

This is our family's go-to spot for sushi during Covid. We love their sushi and bento boxes. They are reasonably priced, fast and really nice! They always get our order right and they are super friendly from the time they pick up the phone, to the time I leave with my good. They seem genuinely appreciative the business! There's always someone else picking up while I'm there, but there is never a wait. They are very efficient. read more

Great mom and pop sushi. Service is friendly and fast each time I've been ordering here. Food is delicious and reasonably priced.

I know better. I know better. I know better! Why I ate raw sushi from a place that I had trepidations about I will pondering into the night. I think this is a place for the cooked roll crowd. The Ika was slimy on the bottom, the tamago hard and oddly flavored, the maguro had strands of sinew, and the hamachi and hirame had a mealy texture. Shrimp and salmon were fine. Eel was bland. Sushi rice was dry and broke apart, and the cuts were odd, like a bedspread - super long but excessively thin. I'm afraid this place just doesn't have the volume to serve raw fish. Service was super friendly and fast. But, just don't. UPDATE: I didn't actually get sick, but I was worried as hell that I would be from the slimy ika. read more

Radical price hikes! No longer worth it. Prices went up 10-36% overnight on my favorite rolls. No increase in the quality of the ingredients nor on their preparation or presentation or the service. They're now charging nice restaurant prices on marginal takeout food with hotdog stand service. read more

Doesn't taste like any lion king I've ever had, oddly sweet and wasn't sliced. Spicy salmon roll just had siracha on top. Online menu doesn't even have correct prices displayed. Was $20 for 1 small salmon roll and lion king roll.... read more

Came around 4:30 pm on a Thursday and they served the order within 5 minutes. I ordered the Morello roll. The shrimp tail isn't dry and has a lot of meat still. I like how the rice is still warm not stale/cold. The previous reviews showed that this branch only had "Conditional" but when I came here July 2016, they had "Pass" posted so I'm glad they are now in compliance with food handling requirements. Their restroom is actually cleaner and more tidy looking compared to Vallejo and Fairfield combined. Might be making up for their past citation. I sat in the right back corner and I could see the kitchen in the back and it looked neat as well. I'm not an inspector so I'm only basing on looks. I don't wanna eat dirty food. The decor are all Japanese related - rightfully so since it's a Japanese restaurant. However, I find it interesting and funny that all three Yo Sushi branches (Fairfield, Vallejo, Martinez) play K-Pop music videos and no Japanese at all. Maybe because the owners are Korean. Overall the food was good and the place was cleaner than expected from past reviews. Glad they improved. read more

The meat they serve is nasty. The steak is chewy and the chicken is dry. They must've boil the chicken first and grill it as you order. Just a fair warning. read more

Nice place. Clean tables and bathrooms. Sushi has a very nice flavor but the rolls are quite large which makes them hard to eat. I got a green tea latte with pearl and it was good but the pearls were hard. The rolls we got were the tempura rainbow, deluxe lamba, and the Travis. Our of those 3, the Travis had the best flavor. read more

We went to eat here because my mom and grandma were craving for some Japanese food. We were so surprised at how low the prices were! It was definitely worth it, they serves great portions and delicious food. We ordered fried oysters, gyoza, tonkotsu ramen, and the fantasy roll; no doubt we were stuffed! The ramen alone filled us up because of how large it was! We were also amazed at how fast all the food came out after we ordered. Overall we were very satisfied with our experience here and plan on visiting again. read more

I really do love this place and would give it a 5 star but cant because they dont think through their to go orders. Tempura items shouldn't be sitting on hot steamed rice and cold fruit salad. Our order was home to us in 5 minutes but soggy because they put hit crispy items on wet items. Please try harder. read more

Pickings are slim in Martinez but we decided to give this new place a go during their Grand Opening. The place is not a traditional restaurant, it's really set to be more of a take out. I ordered the Sashimi/Nigri combination for $15. The selection was decent and the pieces of fish were decently sized. The place is neither cheap nor expensive, I feel you got a good value for your dollar there. I plan on going back to try different dishes. read more

Woo 100th review of this place! :) This is a pretty UNDERRATED fast food sushi place. It is pretty small, and has more of a Hawaiian atmosphere to the place. The rolls here are priced VERY cheap compared to other places! The Lion King roll (my favorite) is only about 10$ and it is a generous amount! The rolls are all posted on their menu and if it is too much for you, they have a hard copy of the menu (which is also their take-out menu). The rice bowls here are huge as well, and there are many different combinations and customization for the bento boxes. You can also substitute brown rice for white rice which I think is a plus (a bit extra). The food comes out quick! Less than 10 minute wait for sure. Take out here is great and I usually call them, then pick it up 10-15 minutes later! Super friendly staff and they serve/clean up for you sometimes when it is during a non-busy time. Love coming to this place occasionally! read more

My go-to take-out sushi spot. Glad that a Yo's opened up on this side of the bay so you don't have to pay for toll. :) If you're into rolls, then you'll love this place. They have great selection of cooked and raw rolls and the rice proportion to filling is just right. I haven't had their their nigiri or sashimi yet but the rolls are pretty good. My usual is the black hole (with spicy mayo on the side) and the lion king. Note that most rolls don't come with sauce or minimal sauce so if you're looking for something saucey, order it on the side. It's an extra 25 cents but worth it since the prices are decent. You can take the bento boxes for what they are... you either love 'em or hate 'em. Their teriyaki is on the sweeter side but their tempura is pretty good. They give you 1 shrimp and an assortment of veggies. I haven't eaten here but being that it's a small place, it can get pretty crowded. And it does look like it caters more to the take-out crowd and can get pretty busy. Wait time is awesome too, like 15-20 mins, so food is fast and good. read more

This review is for this restaurant's bento boxes (combo rice plate). Yo Sushi deserves nothing less than 5 stars. It's difficult to find a quality japanese restaurant that serves a legit bento box with a reasonable price. Other places I've been to either over-charge or don't offer a variety of items. They cook everything to nothing below perfection. Also, the California (sushi) rolls the bento box provides are fresh & are portioned generously-- they're HUGE ;) Their service is quick, friendly, & accurate. The store is a bit small so I usually order to-go. Also, I've tried a few of their sushi rolls.. amazing! Overall cheap food and good portions. Get your booty to Yo Sushi if you love legit, japanese cuisine!! read more

I've been going to yo sushi back in the days at the Fairfield n Texas spot. Now that its closer to home here in Martinez why not same menu good sushi at a great price. Service is great and the portion size are always good. Travis roll lemon roll golden gate are just some of my favorite rolls. And of course before you leave don't forget to try the green tea ice cream. A must if your in the area. read more

Yo Sushi - Sushi time - Sushi Bars Near Me - Martinez, California

Get Yo Sushi on! Great-tasting sushi, reasonable prices, friendly and fast service, clean place! Ok, first things first. What do you expect from a place in a shopping center anchored by Home Depot and Walmart? Yeah, I know what you are going to say. Well, not this place! It is pretty new (maybe 6 months or so) and I've already been there probably 10 times. You can eat in or take out - the quality of food is unchanged! Sushi like that would cost twice as much in San Francisco, and much worse quality sushi would cost more in Oakland! Selection is insane too for a small place like this. Party platters are available too. So when you want great sushi, where would you take yo mama? read more

Finally - a place with tapioca drinks that I can walk to! Ordered Angry Lion King roll and Udon - both were great. Udon tasted like udon, not that deluted Campbell's soup they serve at Hanabi! Very happy that we have another sushi place in the area...I will be coming back for sure! read more

The reason I'm finally writing a review is 'cause I ordered tempura here the other day and it was straight up disgusting. It was soggy and the rice was sticky and nasty. BUT THIS IS WHAT PISSES ME OFF. THEY FRIED A PICKLE SLICE AND CALLED IT TEMPURA. what the hell. okay really? they probs ran out of vegetables, looked in the fridge and just threw in a pickle slice. EW. never in my life have I had a pickle slice in a tempura mix. good bye. nope. never again I honestly don't understand why this place has reviews with other two stars!? I've been here a few times and thought it was okay. Like seriously a last resort place if you don't wanna pay much for sushi/japanese food. You get what you pay for really. but now I know I never wanna come here again. I've had their so called chicken katsu which is gonna be the driest cardboard you ever eat. read more
