This place has plenty of parking so it's pretty accessible. I was warmly greeted and my questions were answered gracefully. The interior is decorated with origami cranes and Japanese art. I ordered a cafe au lait and a berry scone. The scone was baked perfectly and went well with my warm beverage. read more

Visited one coffee shop and now I'm debating moving to Los Osos. Yokoso is everything good about the small coastal town of Los Osos. This cafe is so cozy that I almost canceled my plans to soak in the neighborly vibes. I visited on a road trip up the coast of CA and grabbed a sweet pastry and an iced matcha latte with vanilla to-go. My only mistake was ordering a small. The drink was gone in minutes. I'd easily return and order this matcha by the gallon and I suggest you do the same. read more

These are the sweetest, most welcoming people! The coffee drinks are top notch and the hang is good for socializing or working. I enjoyed a delicious ham and cheese croissant. Decor has a Japanese theme. WiFi is medium-good; had a few issues with a dropped signal. Pups welcome at outdoor tables. Seating is mostly tables with some soft seating in back. Will return! read more

I'm a bit of a coffee snob. My wife is a barista. We met at a coffee shop. We stayed on a coffee farm in Costa Rica for our honeymoon. It's safe to say that we obsess over coffee. On a recent trip up the coast we happened upon Yokoso. 5 star reviews across the board. We still went in a little skeptical. How could the coffee be that good? I went on a Saturday morning and there was a line and a jam packed seating area. The gentleman taking orders was super friendly and thanked me for my patience. I ordered two black medium roast drip coffees. It's honestly our favorite way to drink coffee and test a new coffee shop. If they care about their drip coffee, chances are high they take everything seriously. There were two roast options, a medium and a dark roast, served in pump carafes. Because it was so busy, it seems like they hadn't had time to brew up more batch brew. They had just enough for one medium roast and one cup of half medium/half dark roast. They offered to brew up more if I wanted to wait. I opted for the medium and half/half cup. Again, fairly skeptical that this was going to be a 5 star experience. Mixing roasts?!! Haha Well, it was honestly delicious. They clearly know their brew times and ratios because it was delicious. Balanced, rounded, a little nutty, with a hint of smoke. So delicious on its own but would have held up with milk. Please go to this place. Please support these coffee magicians, brewing up tasty beverages and making even a mixed roast batch brew one of the most memorable cups I've had in a while. read more

A bright and clean little coffee shop. The ambiance is cute but definitely leans religious. The mugs and plates are adorable which are a lovely touch. The coffee was great, really really enjoyed it. Strong, flavorful, and delicious. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. My only complaint is that they had no vegan (or even dairy free) baked goods. That's always a bummer, especially if you want to go in the morning and sit for a little while. Hopefully they will get some vegan treats soon! read more

Stopped in for the first time this morning after driving past this little gem for months now. Needed a pick-me-up and decided on some place local. I arrived a few minutes after opening and I was immediately greeted by friendly staff. I was taken by the display of delectible and enticing pastries. I decided to go with the Cheddar, Bacon, and Chive Scone. The crumb on the scone is amazing and it melts in my mouth (I'm writing this as I am enjoying it). There is just enough chive that I get that sweet, garlicky flavor without it being too overpowering. And do I detect buttermilk? For a beverage I was initially going to go with an almond milk latte, but then I saw the Cafe Miel with cinnamon and honey. Just the right amount of cinnamon and honey and the espresso is so smooth. I should have asked which almond milk they use because it it so creamy. Great ambiance too. The sunrise hits the windows just perfect and bathes the already warm atmosphere in an even more uplifting light. There is amazing artwork on the walls as well as beautiful traditional Japanese robes and umbrellas. And doggos are allowed on the patio. Great food, friendly staff, comforting environment. Definitely coming back here to study one day. read more

BUT... let's talk tofu math for a second. The bowl normally comes with just one piece of tofu (about 3-3.5 inches), which already feels a little light for a ramen. Since I removed the egg, I added three more pieces for $4.25. Totally fine...except now I'm paying extra to replace something I didn't want in the first place. Meanwhile, my husband's poke bowl, about the same price was absolutely loaded with fish. I mean... I get it, but also... I don't get it.

The sushi chefs at the sushi bar DO NOT say "Irasshaimase" when entering. We got as appetizer- spicy grilled edamame. 5 stars. Small portion but had a nice kick unique to what I've had. Unagi 2 piece ($7). 5 stars- no complaints. Maybe a thin cut was fine with me Super Dragon Roll ($10, normally $19.99) - was a cali crab meat plus shrimp tempura with unagi on top. 3 stars - I liked their sticky rice held the sushi together. Middle of the roll pieces had very little crab meat and shrimp compared to the ends of the sushi roll where the tail of the shrimp tempura ends. Not bad but very Ricky. Chicken teriyaki combo - 3.5 stars. Vegetable tempura had one shrimp, one onion roll, one yam but could be two. Decent but nothing special. The menu said charbroiled but I was expecting something else. It was chicken breast meat. And thin cut- sauce was nice and thinck but longer you eat, the sauce gets more thick and sticky.

We started with the seaweed salad and a cold pint of Asahi. The seaweed salad featured a variety of…read moreseaweeds, perfectly seasoned with what tasted like sesame--everything blended together beautifully. The Asahi arrived in a frozen mug, which made it even more refreshing. We also ordered the Shell Beach Sunset roll, which had an amazing balance of raw and cooked fish, vegetables, and the added crunch of tempura flakes. All the flavors and textures worked perfectly together. The nine-piece sashimi was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. For dessert, we had the tempura ice cream and the green tea cheesecake--both were absolutely delicious. Honestly, everything we ordered was fantastic. Our servers, Jasmine and Austin, truly killed it. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaged throughout the meal. The restaurant itself had great lighting and décor, was spotless and well-maintained, even down to the restrooms. Parking was plentiful and free. Overall, we had a wonderful time with family and friends. An amazing experience and definitely worth coming back to.

phenomenal sushi but abysmal service. especially because even at the bar you have to order from a…read moreserver. my sushi got to me 10 minutes before my drink? I had to stop eating to make sure I could enjoy them together - even though they were both ordered together and the only thing I got. I honestly wanted to eat more but the server was pretty rude to me in particular despite trying to be as nice as possible to him. After my second order I left especially because while delicious it still felt overpriced especially for a very causal environment with a TV playing sports. I would get takeout next time and eat at a nearby vista point.

Tony & the wonderful crew are busy creating yummy treats! Thanks Tony!

Everything was delicious, fresh, and melts in your mouth. I was too excited and ordered way too much and ended up taking some home. Sashimi will always be my favorite way to eat sushi but the special rolls were generously topped with more sashimi. The space was clean and full of Japanese decor. The sweet couple is from Osaka and shared with us stories from when they lived In Japan. I'm so glad we came. The food is pricey but I am willing to pay for quality. Great service at Nogi and great quality.

I've never had issues before. Haven't been eating out much so I hadn't been in about 8 months, ordered it Tuesday and have been incredibly sick since abt thirty minutes after eating it. It's now Thursday and I am still home from work barely able to hold down pedialyte, toast and apple sauce. I was not going to leave a review thinking it might've just been my stomach being sensitive but that's not very typical for me and I'm seeing quite a few reviews that other people have gotten food poisoning here.. still gave them two stars because all of my other experiences here have been great but something has definitely changed recently.. please raku fix whatever is going on!
