Tried this place for the first time and I'm not coming back. The wait staff didn't get our orders right and constantly asked us what we ordered even though it's written on the piece of paper. Our food took incredibly long with no apology or explanation on why. The rolls were littered with chili and jalapeños and slathered in sauce making the rolls a spicy soggy mess. We weren't even greeted with Irasshai/Irasshaimase. Enough said. read more

Always enjoy anything that I order here. Great quality and reasonable prices. Awesome happy hour as well. Sometimes I come and they are out of lobster so that's why I'm giving a four otherwise it's a five all the way. Also Planet Fitness members get 20% off! :) read more

Yokozuna - $7.95 Chicken bowl, spicy edamame and spicy tuna hand rolls. Great portions. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Oxnard, California

Jun is a solid sushi artist, a great guy to share a brew with and a great reason to stop in for Yokozuna anytime... I'm a fan of sashimi and creative plates, Jun does a solid job keeping it new...I've never eaten any of the back kitchen food, so I can't comment...but it all looks good. His teriyaki chicken bowl is one of the only ones I've seen my 3 year old devour...so it must be good! Excellent value, fish is always fresh...not sure how anyone can go wrong here. read more

This is a great Japanese restaurant. I eat here at least once a week and everything I've ever gotten is excellent. They even have a sushi roll without rice for those of us who prefer that way. Fish is always fresh and cooked foods are quite tasty. read more

This place sucks since the owner no longer works her. The veggie rolls are gross! Who the hell cooks veggies for sushi? read more

Stopped here after 9PM on a Tuesday. Don't be a hater ... I called in advance, knowing that I was already out on a limb. Oxnard? Sushi? Late night? WTF? But they delivered very respectably. I gotta hand it to 'em. For my first taste if Yokozuma, I tried the yellowtail sushi. Visually - a safe bet. Nothing skin-y or fat-y as the belly cut would have been. Here we had a decently fresh but run-of-the-mill sushi. I like my rice slightly less sweet. Other than that, a head nodding, "pretty decent". Picked the "muy chingon" roll next, thinking I should stay local. It also had no "crab meat" (which I despise ... the meat itself ... not the *not* having it). Overall (for the roll), I'd say, "less cowbell". I rarely say that - mostly because I stay out of situations that would require me to. There was altogether too much sauce and it was too sweet (from both the sauce and the prepared seaweed). Plainer woulda' been nice, and would have allowed me to taste the innocent yellowtail that was tucked under one too many layers of pizzazz. In an effort to redeem the whole experience (despite my misstep on ordering the roll), I ordered the Uni. Yes, another bold-ass (and probably Ill advised) move. Here, the sweeter-than-necessary rice really glared, and the Uni was far gamier than you'd want it to be. Just sayin'. What started as a solid 4 (mostly due to the fact that they were open until 10 ... "I think", according to the sweet but disclaimed voice on the phone) quickly made its way to a 3. I'd project much higher if you came on a Friday ... but I feel it's my obligation to report to my fair yelpers objectively, and based on my own experience. So, that's what I'm doing. 3. read more

Good service by Fransisco the sushi chef. We loved the Crazy Shrimp Roll and a special roll made specially for my hubby!! Happy hour menu is a good deal!!!! read more

Not sure if under new management or if everyone working was having a bad day. Waiting over 30mins for 1 California roll. Took another 30mins for another roll. The rolls have changed and were mini bite size and taste less. Our waitress never came by to check if we needed anything. We had to ask for ginger and wasabi? Waited again another 20mins for our check to be told the reason they ran late was because customer was talking too much. Don't go waste of money and time. read more

Skip this place. It's a dishonest restaurant. The photos on the menu do NOT actually look like what is delivered to you. My husband ordered a roll with sliced Albacore on top. What came to him was l/3rd slice of albacore on top, when the picture on the menu depicted a generous slice. We should have sent it back. The "sushi chef" forgot to make one of the dishes ordered, and when reminded, continued to make other customers' sushi when he knew we were waiting. Prices are way too high for the quality and quantity of sushi delivered. My husband's ridiculous roll was $14.00!!! We felt taken advantage of. It was our first time here, and it will be our LAST. There are MUCH better sushi restaurants in Oxnard who will provide quality and value for your hard earned money!! read more

Omg!! Love their sushi and soup.. their rolls are delicious and their waitress Alyssa is so nice and helpful! I would definitely recommend this place if your looking for some great sushi!!! read more

Muy face sushi! Francisco is the best sushi maker in the place. I just say surprise me and he knows just what I like. Delicious! read more

My friends and I came to this little sushi place after ice skating at the Channel Islands rink. It was around 5, a little early for dinner, so the place was more or less empty. We seated ourselves and a waiter came over with a menu and asked if we wanted drinks immediately. The menu is pretty extensive, with lots of chef's special rolls. I went with a sunset roll, which wasn't a chef special, and kind of regretted it. It was decent, but not spectacular. Worth the $9.95? Not really. The waiter asked if we wanted anything else multiple times, and after finishing my roll (so much smaller than my friends' special rolls), I caved and got a Javi hand roll. Best decision of my life. It's a little cone of seaweed filled with rice, avocado, cucumbers, 1-2 jalepeno slices, and spicy crab. So good. For $5.95? Totally worth it. I can't even put into words. For the spectacular service and the lengthy menu (I'd like to try the other hand rolls, as well as the chirashi bowl and some of the special rolls), I'll definitely be coming back to this place in the future. read more

UPDATE: Back up to a full 4 stars. I was VERY surprised with Yokozuna the last time we went. The food and service were both really really good. I wish I could remember the name of the roll my hubs got - maybe the Katana Roll? It was amazing! I got the Salmon Sashimi and a Spicy Tuna Roll. I know, I know not very adventurous but I think these traditional options really say a lot about a sushi place. Both were very fresh tasting. Dare I say they have new owners since my last review? We've moved back into town so we'll definitely be back for that insanely delicious roll and happy hour soon. read more

first time try yokozuna oxnard location it was pretty fresh and yummy will be back soon for happy hour sp tuna tempura roll and philly roll read more

Love this place! Great service and great food! Prices are ok but we can't afford to eat here as often as we'd like . My favorite sushi place in Oxnard hands down. My favorite roll is the drunken tiger roll. read more

Spent $95 on food that was not good. This place was my favorite before Covid, I went today and the food was not good, very basic. I am very disappointed, I will not be going back. read more

Great lunch and happy hour specials. They have a large selection of rolls in addition to the ones that rotate on the board. Great sushi for a good price. read more

The food was very delicious and the waiters were all very kind. They were quick to come and ask for our orders, as well as updating us on the order itself. read more

Jun and his team never let me down. This is the sushi place to be at in Oxnard! Their fish are fresh, the service is always great, and I see a lot of the same faces when I go to eat there- which is 1-2 times a week for lunch. Which tells me they've built relationships with customers and that's why they come back. Not mention the jams are always playing at Yoko. My favorite roll is the Kamakazi and Spicy Tuna but they have quite the variety. It's definitely a must go place if you're in Oxnard read more

Every time I have gone, it's not busy! Even Friday nights which is surprising since it's really good! They have quick service and very nice employees! They have really good happy hour deals. A bunch of rolls to try for $5 each along with a few other items. My all time favorites will be the Lion King Roll (spicy crab, shrimp tempura inside with fresh salmon and avocado on top with eel sauce and spicy sauce) sooo delicious! Also the baby lobster roll is amazingly good! read more

I had a bento box with 3 dishes which were Teriyaki salmon, fried mussels, and roasted fish. The roasted fish was over cooked and dry. The salmon was good and the mussels were OK. I also had a fresh water Eel roll which was $4.50 so it was nothing special but still good. Also had a Scallop roll which was $3.95 so it was nothing special as well. The last piece of sushi i got was a Creamy salmon hand roll which was pretty good for $5.95. Other then that I dont have many complaints. Next time i'll trying one of their special rolls for a better opinion, but for now the place is just O.K in my opinion read more

We try to come every Friday or every other Friday. Service is always great! We walk in and the waiter already knows what we want to drink! Fish is always so fresh. Staff is always so friendly. Way better than kabuki which is in walking distance from our house. Much rather make the drive to here! read more

I've been here before for happy hour, and it was pretty good. Tonight I called and asked how late happy hour went and was told 7. When I showed up just before 6, they were crowded presumably for happy hour, there was very little parking. There was 1 gentleman running the whole dining floor, seating people, serving people food and drinks and bussing tables. Not sure if he was a poor employee being taken advantage of or the owner trying to save money by skimping on the number of employees. But he service suffered, one man can only do so much. We asked for the happy hour menu and he told us happy hour was over at 6. Big bummer, their prices are pretty steep they charge almost double for the same rolls after happy hour. No big deal though, I'll just order less, not leave with leftovers and take the opportunity to try something new. I ordered a teriyaki salmon plate and a dynamite Cali roll. My teriyaki salmon came with rice and tempura veggies that were pretty bland without sauce. Of course I couldn't get my waiters attention to ask for some. The dynamite roll was great! Only it was almost double what it costs during happy hour. And it isn't any bigger or different. Like I said if the waiter was some poor guy that got stranded there without help I feel super bad for him. But I have a feeling he was a manager to didn't want to share tips or the owner trying to save some money. He had that "manager" feel about him. I will go back next time before 6. read more

The food here was ok not great. The inside of the restaurant was very hot like the AC was broken or something. Customer service was good.

Great for the price. The happy hour drink deals are excellent & the rolls fairly priced. A few times our rolls have been loosely wrapped, on the verge of falling apart, but always taste fresh. Wait staff is friendly but sometimes slow. Overall: a great place with a few wrinkles to iron out. Definitely recommended. read more

The Rolls from Yokozuna are consistenly well made. Everything from the very spicy Joey and Amigo rolls to the Mas Chignon and Lion King rolls are absolutely delicious. What takes the cake, though, is that happy hour is every day 5-7. Buy one beer/sake and get the second for .99 cents. Can't get much better than that! read more

This place is okay. Nothing special like some of the reviews written before this one. Even the spicy rolls were okay. The green tea was bottled and was sub par. I should have waited till I got homework. The place was a kind of waste of space in my belly. read more

Was craving japanese food to go along with some TV during this quarantine and stumbled across this wonderful place on Yelp. Super close, good reviews, and the pictures looked good, it ticked all my boxes so I just had to try it out. Two rolls and some edemame was enough to fill up me and the S/O. I recommend the 'I Hate You' roll. read more

I remember coming here years ago with my brother. However not sure if the ownership changed but this place has changed a lot. The service was decent but could have been better. Sushi was good, price was average and portions were average. Only one gentleman making sushi so it was a little slow to get our food. Felt bad for the guy because there was a lot of pick up orders that were big. Overall the place was a bit messy and a little under staffed but I felt there made an attempt to give us a decent experience read more

The sashimi was super fresh, and the rolls were creative and spicy (like I asked). The service was great, but there were only two other parties when we ate dinner, so I don't know what they're like when it's busy. Staff was friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. The only down side was they didn't have a lot of vegetarian options (my girlfriend is a vegetarian). Other than that, I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Ordered via Postmates and they canceled my order 25 min after I had ordered. I could no longer order anywhere else since everything was closed by then. I called several times after they cancelled to see if I could pick up, but they didn't answer the phone read more

I only go for the happy hour, cheap drinks and even cheaper food. I was not expecting the food to be that good considering price. The food it GOOD! Its not the best sushi Ive had, but its still really good especially for the the price. The service is also very good, not slow by any means. I highly recommend going here during happy hour! read more

One of my favorite sushi spots here in Oxnard. I called last night right before they stop taking orders to go ( yes I know I was that person) June who I think might be the owner was there working by himself by the time I got to the restaurant. The food was ready on time and delicious as always. He was happy to serve one last client after 9pm during a pandemic! Wow read more
