    Shaggy dog and tiger roll!

    Service was very good along with the food! Waiter was very nice and attentive. We went during lunch on a Friday so it was not busy!

    Frank always gives us great service and is a hard worker. The freshest Fish in Cypress we've been coming here for over six years. The Chef also does a really good job.

    A friend and I came here after she did my hair because it was close to her house and she wanted ramen. The inside is smaller than I thought. Service is ok nothing to write about but they do get food out really quick and they do not make you feel rushed. We ordered a house bottle of wine since it was less than $20. My friend wanted ramen but did not get it because all of their ramen is cooked in pork broth which she does not eat. She enjoyed her chicken katsu. I liked the ramen but it lacked a bit of flavor. I did enjoy my sushi roll immensely and the edamame even though my friend said the edamame wasn't as spicy until the very end.

    Amazing food!

    Great food! I travel a lot and when I'm home, this is my second home to get work done. Nice ambience, and great service.

    Frank has taken phenomenal care of me at Yokohamaya Sushi in Cypress--just like every visit for the past 10 years. Tonight's spread was pure elegance: a gorgeous Sashimi Deluxe plate with fresh, buttery salmon and tuna, plus silky hamachi that melted on the tongue. The yellowtail jalapeño appetizer was perfectly balanced--bright heat, clean citrusy bite, and ultra-fresh fish. Even the seaweed salad was crisp and vibrant. From presentation to pacing, everything felt polished, welcoming, and consistently top-tier. Yokohamaya Sushi never misses.

    This is one of the highest rated sushi restaurants in my area, however, if I'm honest, I was off to a rough start obtaining my order. I ordered through Yelp (which uses Grubhub)...turns out this restaurant no longer uses grub hub :(. The reason I mention this is because it made a great experiment. After the whole ordeal, and Yelp/Grub Hub issued a refund, I'm no quitter, so I went to order the same items from the restaurant website. My total was about $10 more. Although I was confused, more than anything I was hungry, so after another 20 minute wait, I was thankfully off with my food (in a very fancy to-go) Although I opened the bag to a few surprises, it was clear that everything was packed with care. First the surprises- No chopsticks were included in my order (this may be on me. I guess I had to actively select to have utensils included)? Second, the crab puff sauce was clear (it tasted fine but the color was new to me). Third, the Naruto roll has very thick cucumbers, and to my surprise I ordered a fried roll (whoops. That's 100% on me). Given those last two sentence I can't say what I ordered was sushi (atleast not the kind I usually order), so I'll have to try again an other day. This review is to: -warn you dear reader to order takeout from this restaurants website instead of a 3rd party -give praise to the miso soup and spicy edamame (which truly is coated well and truly spicy). I'll be back to try again!

    Came in for a late Sunday lunch, restaurant was very quiet due to the time, we were treated and seated promptly. Ordered and received our food which was excellent! Restaurant was also very clean! Good food and pretty big portions!

    Do they have gluten free options?

    I didn't order any so can't vouch for flavor, but definitely had some listed on menu. I would assume that the quality and flavor was as high as their other offerings.

    The salads are of big portions - both the small and regular sizes. Besides the usual fountain…read moredrinks, they offer lemonades and green tea. Prices are mostly affordable but when paired with proteins, the total will add up.

    I'M DONE!!! BUSINESS OWNERS PLEASE CHECK ON YOUR WORKERS!!!…read more I have visited this location several times in the past and vowed that I would not brighten their dining room with my beautiful diamond-like presence ever again due to poor customer service. The workers are extremely rude, unfriendly, and unwelcoming! I wish I would have stuck to my guns and not graced this place again, but it's all good. I just hate spending my money in establishments where I am treated with disrespect and disregarded as a paying customer. Firstly, my daughter and I decided to have lunch after our workout on this particular day and we both wanted salads. Upon entering, we were greeted by one of the workers which was a surprise to me, because in the past they have never greeted me when I walk in. So, I'm thinking to myself that they have made some changes and that it may not be bad anymore to visit here. WRONG! As I was placing my order for a small salad, I asked if I could have a little more lettuce. The server paused a moment and then responded, "no we cannot give you more." I told her that I would pay extra money if she could give me a little more lettuce and that I have no problem paying. Before she could respond back to me, another worker who may have been the store manager, was standing behind her sweeping the floor, hurriedly and responded in a rude manner pointing and saying, "Read the signs. You only get this amount of lettuce for a small salad. We cannot give you more." I responded, "Ma'am I'm willing to pay. I really like a lot of lettuce in my salad." She then responded detestably, "Well you need to order a large salad!" I politely replied, "Okay, no problem. I can do that. You could have just said that in the first place, but thank you anyway. It's all worked out! Yay!" I did not want that much lettuce of a large salad but just a little bit more added to my small salad but was refused with such disdain. To make matters worse, I asked the server if she could please give me some of the fresh lettuce instead of the withered lettuce that was mixed in with the fresh. That really cooked their noodles. By this time, they were steaming-mad-hot with me. Furthermore, as I went down the line asking for my toppings, I dared not ask for extra, even though the amount of the toppings that they serve are the size of a freaking nickel. You know that little tiny serving spoon that they serve the toppings with? They only gave me one scoop of each of my toppings, but I dared not ask for two scoops, especially with the manager getting emotional behind me asking for extra lettuce as if she owns the place, lol. They also gave my daughter a hard time because she asked for extra chickpeas on her salad and for some of the fresh lettuce instead of the withered lettuce. They gave it to her but with such a nasty attitude, slamming her bowl of salad on the counter. We should have walked out right then and there and reported them to corporate. However, I just don't have the time and energy to waste on these unhappy and ungrateful people and besides, I was starving. I just know that I will never go back ever again to this location. Moreover, for my salad, I ordered Romaine Lettuce, jalapeños, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, banana peppers, black olives, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and pesto chicken with the Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing on the side. My daughter ordered a small salad consisting of Romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, chickpeas, avocado, and pesto chicken. We both opted out of them mixing and chopping our salads as we always do. As we approached the checkout counter, we were not offered any of the complimentary bread or chips that accompanies the salads. Although I didn't want either one of them, I waited for them to offer it up but they refused. So, I turned to my daughter and asked her if she wanted the complimentary bread or chips and she said, "no." Then and only then is when they opened their mouth to offer it to us. Overall, I love the concept of this establishment because it offers healthy eating options and has a variety of toppings and proteins to choose from. However, this location with its staff and their nasty attitudes and poor customer service skills can kick rocks. The dining room is always half clean each and every time I have visited. The food is expensive, which is to be expected because it is expensive to eat healthy, and I absolutely don't mind paying the high prices of eating healthy. However, when it comes to spending my money in any establishment, I expect to be treated with kindness, respect, and amiability. Is that too much to ask for? I spent a little over $40 for two salads and a drink. Oh, and let me not forget to mention the extra charge for the avocado that was added to my salad. Business owners should check in on their staff regularly at these places because I'm pretty sure they would not be too pleased with them running customers away, especially with other healthy restaurants popping up!

Unfortunately, they only have 1 table for 4 people and the others are for 2 persons only. So if that table is not open, your only choice are the stools or waiting. They do have a lunch menu weekly with 4 choices for $12-$13 that come with a 2pc harumaki. As others have indicated, this restaurant is cute and decked out with a lot of small japanese toys, nick nacks, books and claw machines. The good thing is the claw machines are pretty easy to win and actually guaranteed to win with every 10 tries. I won 2 items on 4 tries if that gives you any idea. I ordered a combination of sushi and cooked food on my visit. I tried the Beef Yakiniku Don and the yellowtail with scallion roll. My group also ordered a brown sugar boba milk tea, kids bento box with chicken karrage and a creamy cold noodle ramen. Don - comes with miso soup which is pretty standard. The Don bowl is impressive with a lot of beef and onions all throughout the bowl. The beef is very tender, flavorful and slightly peppery. It wasn't spicy so I asked for something to go on top. The owner came by and gave me some chili oil and togarashi. This dish has pretty good flavor. Cold noodles - this dish is truly cold and a little strange to get used to at first..but the flavor is pretty good. It does come with a slightly spicy paste on the interior side of the bowl if you want to make it spicy. The owner described it as slightly less spicy than wasabi. Kids bento - fried chicken thighs with white rice and snap peas....a fairly healthy meal. Tips for owner/manager - the water is terrible here, wish they had low sodium soy sauce option on the tables, seating is limited, check expiration dates on your sauces and condiments on a regular basis as my chili oil was expired.
