If you look up "no-frills" in the dictionary, you'll see that it's defined as offering or providing only the most important or basic things: not fancy or luxurious. You may also see a picture of Yoshi Sushi. Although my brother and I were the only ones in the restaurant, service was essentially nonexistent. We were served water once we were seated but never asked if we'd like anything else to drink, or what we wanted to eat for that matter. The menu, which contains a handful of appetizers but is otherwise entirely sushi, is a single sheet of paper on which you mark off what you'd like to eat before handing it to the chef. We ordered a couple lunch specials and a bamboo roll (eel, cucumber, avocado) to share. At $8.99 for the lunch special, it's significantly cheaper than the other sushi bars in the area. Lunch includes miso soup, salad, 4 pieces of sushi, and 8 pieces of roll. The soup and salad were tasty but nothing special, and the sushi, while fresh, was middle of the pack. I love eel so I was especially looking forward to the bamboo roll, but it missed the mark, failing to deliver on flavor. The standout for me was the shrimp, which was cooked nicely and super tender. Despite being average in taste, at $8.99 you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal for lunch. However, if you're looking for outstanding service and exceptional sushi, there are other places to go. read more

I live in New York City and I have yet to find a sushi restaurant that comes even close to the quality, service, and incredible portions of Yoshi. I was introduced to this restaurant by some close friends who frequent the joint quite often. You'd drive by it and not even know what you're missing, since it's a simple storefront in a strip mall in Latham. Inside is a married power couple that serves up some of the best sushi that you'll ever taste. And they're so incredibly generous to their most valued customers. I cannot emphasize enough how much I absolutely adore this restaurant; it has become a staple whenever I'm in the area and, even though I'm not local, they treat me like family. read more

Yoshi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Latham, New York

Close by Albany airport small but Cozy sushi & udon bar 6 seat sushi counter looked appealing but was mostly full so we chose to sit at a table. The lunch sushi special is good value mainly vegetable sushi but plenty of other options available Service was a bit slow as this is a husband & wife operation so if your in a hurry this may not be the best place but for a more relaxed lunch it is clear Yoshi knows Sushi!! The salad, Miso soup & Assorted Sushi was very good & for $5.95 represents good value. read more

In town to visit my folks. Had a real craving for sushi. My parents had heard of Yoshi's and we decided to give it a go- we ordered a number of rolls for 6 of us. (Spicy Tuna Roll, Spicy Scallop Roll, Sake Maki, Yellowtail Roll, Alaska Roll, California Roll, Rainbow Roll, Yoshi Roll, & David Roll) Everything was delicious and so fresh. Sometimes restaurants get the sushi rice wrong. It is well done here! Yoshi is an unassuming small location but delivers big on their sushi. One suggestion - keep your website updated and include the prices! The $22 price tag in the Yoshi roll was unexpected (until i saw how big it was!) Didn't subtract a star since the food was so delicious. read more

Best, fresh, Delicious sushi. Yoshi and Mrs. Yoshi take wonderful care of us. Yoshi even made us our own sushi dish named after my daughter, the Jenny Roll. Delicious read more

Yoshi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Latham, New York

I guess it's alright. I've had worse. After having this place hyped up for months I was expecting the greatest sushi in the state or something. It's not even the best in the city. I got the Dragon Roll and while it was good it's not what I would call amazing or anything. The sauce that was on the salad was pretty bad. The rice was good. Overall I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this place but I wouldn't discourage going here. It's just meh. このレストランは平凡。 ごはんはちょと多いしです。 ドラゴンロールはいいです。 read more

Walk in sushi order took 1 hr 15 minutes. Be prepared to wait a long time. Be prepared to invest your entire night here.

The restaurant smelled like rotten fish. I made an over the phone order for a shrimp tempura roll. The shrimp was bad and tasted like fish. I would never order again. read more

From the outside you would never guess that Yoshi Sushi had some really good sushi. It is in a strip mall and next to a jerky shop. It reminds me of a small diner or slightly renovated store. Definitely not a typical sushi restaurant. The couple that owns this place run it themselves. This was incredibly charming and everything they serve is made in house. As soon as we sat down we were served with tea which was in a coffee pot, which was extremely amusing to me. I ordered the sushi and sashimi combo and rainbow roll. Everything was really good and the fish was very fresh. The sushi was thick cut which I noticed seems to be rare in this area. If you do not like wasabi, be warned, the sushi has wasabi under the fish. read more

Yoshi Sushi - Menu - Japanese Near Me - Latham, New York

Not the best local sushi I've had, but definitely good. I give it 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up. It's a small restaurant in a tiny strip mall which you could totally pass by even if you were looking for it. I had been wanting to try Yoshi since some people recently named it as one of their favorite local sushi joints, so I stopped in for take-out one day. I appreciated that I was given miso soup and salad with my order, even though I only got two rolls to go. Nothing monumental, but it's a nice touch. The rolls aren't the greatest in terms of size or presentation, but they were quite tasty. I tried the Michelle Roll (eel, shrimp) and the Rainbow Roll (tuna, yellowtail, salmon, white fish, masago). -- See pics. It's also worth noting that the sushi chef was very clean - I watching him make my rolls, and he washed his hands and cleaned the station a few times during the process. That's always a good sign. They also sell some cool stuff up front, such as tea sets, decorative chop sticks, Japanese drinks and snack foods, as well as supplies to make your own sushi at home. read more

Really good, authentic sushi. My only regret is not discovering this gem, that's been hiding right under my nose for years, sooner.

Materials are all fresh, taste really awesome. Unlike other sushi restaurants, this chef put less rice in each sushi. Satisfied my needed to enjoy every single kind of sushi topping. This is one of the best sushi I have ever had! Dons are also great! They put at least three large pieces of eel in their unagi don. Rice is also cooked in a really delicious way. I really recommend this restaurant. They are short on helpers recently, so maybe a little bit delay on service, but overall I really love this place! They do not make ramen, but all dishes that served there will make you forget about ramen. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed Yoshi Sushi. It is not fancy outside or in, but it is comfortable. And as I sat there at the bar I noticed that this is a place that had regulars. Yoshi Sushi has been open for at least 20 years in the same location (this I found out by asking Yoshi himself). Yoshi's wife proudly told me that all sauces and dressings are prepared in house, and even the egg (at other sushi places purchased frozen) is made there. The fish wasn't perfect but for the price was higher quality than I would have expected. I had the Spicy Chirashi Don (my first Don!) and was pleased. And of course the spicy masago is a house recipe. BYOB. read more

Yoshi Sushi is the best in the Capital Region. We have been dining in and taking out from Yoshi's for at least 20 years, and the food is always fresh, beautifully prepared and excellent. Yoshi and Yon are wonderful hosts, and warm and welcoming to children. We cannot recommend Yoshi's highly enough! Treat yourself today! read more

I'm shocked it hasn't been mentioned in any review - this place REEKS of cigarettes. You can barely breathe when you first step in (for fear of lung contamination from second hand smoking!) Despite the cigarette stink, I've ordered takeout several times and the sushi has been pretty good. Today however, when the food was brought home, the plastic bag, containers, napkins, it all reeked of cigarettes. There is no way the food isn't getting contaminated as well so today will be the last time I have yoshi sushi. I gave them two stars because the food isn't bad at all. It's good sushi so it's just too bad... read more

Best sushi in the capital district! Check it out!!! Everyone who walked in knew the chef and said hi to him. So good! read more

Had such high expectation when people told me they serve authentic Japanese food. Unfortunately the service here just kills everything. The lady doesn't care to speak to you. When you put your order in they don't even care to tell you the special is out they just cross it off from your order. Nothing pleasant about this place. Don't think I will want to come back again. read more

Yoshi Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Latham, New York

Take home message if you don't want to read the full review: The absolute best sushi in Albany, no doubt, no question asked! There's one thing I would like to address before talking about their sushi. I read a few reviews complaining the service that you get from here. There is a quite unique and interesting dining setting in Yoshi Sushi. Chef Yoshi and his wife (I think that's his wife, don't quote me on this) both have a serious facial expression, but don't get them wrong, they are not mean nor angry. But here is the thing, Chef Yoshi is always just very focused on making sushi, he doesn't interact with the customers much, nor chat with his staffs. It is a fairly small business with minimum staffs, they are always busy providing the best quality sushi for the customers, people can cut the elderly them some slacks for not getting the most welcoming attitude and give them some respect for their passions in making great authentic sushi. At the end of the day, you are here to enjoy the food not so much the service. I normally include the service into my ratings, but the quality of the food you get is above and beyond. Now we can talk about Nigiri, which is the authentic way of making sushi. A small piece of sticky rice, tapped on a tiny piece of wasabi, and finally topped with a piece of sashimi, cooked fish or other types of seafood. There is a menu hanging next to the table on the wall, you can mark down the appetizers, Nigiri, sushi dons or rolls. There's also a special section you can write down and request your order. Each selection of the Nigiri is priced as per piece, and it is slightly pricy compare to other ordinary sushi places. But I promise you every bite is worth the money. Each the Nigiri is topped with a big thick piece of sashimi/fish/seafood, every bite is very satisfying. You are actually eating sashimi with rice, not like some other places when they try to rip you off and give you a big piece of rice and a tiny piece of fish. All the different Nigiri we order retained the freshness of the fish, which demonstrates the amount of effect Chef Yoshi spend to examine and choose the ingredients. Last but not least, another highlight of this restaurant is the sushi dons, which is rice bowl topped with sashimi/seafoods. It is one of the item you have to absolutely try! We had the una don, which is cooked eels on rice in a bowl. The favor of the eels was unbelievable, rich and infused with tremendous flavor. The eel sauce in the warm rice made the complementary with the eels. The rice in there was slightly sticky, but not overly sticky, which provided a very compatible texture with the eels. The best una don I have ever had from all the Japanese restaurants I have gone to. This is going to be my ultimate recommendation for all who want authentic and super high quality Japanese cruise! read more

I have been coming to this place almost as long as they have been open. Yoshi does 99% of the work himself and he is always behind the counter, and his wife does the rest. They sometimes have a helper in the kitchen for the few steamed things they do, but that is about it. Yoshi has probably the best sushi in the capital district. The fish is fresh and the place is casual. His mackerel is very good, and that is a fish many places mess up and people end up not liking. I often judge sushi by flavor of the rice, mackerel and firmness of tuna. The place is not cheap, and you will wait if it is busy because it is all done by one person. He takes so much damn pride in his work, it makes you rethink your own work ethic. This is truly a gem for our area, and he basically taught me about sushi since they opened which seems like over a decade ago. He also serves sweet raw shrimp which I love that is less common, and always has a few specials. Yoshi is very nice, and while his English is not that great he is happy to try to explain and be sociable. The place is very chill and not at all snooty. I highly recommend this place, and wish I checked in as often as I went, because it seems like I end up here at least twice a month, and have been for many years. What makes sushi great is not only the fish but the rice, and his choice of rice and vinegar proportions are the best tasting by a mile. Maybe some other places have fancier fish or cooler presentations, but you can't beat the taste. read more

The was great, think I finally found a place to go regularly for sushi! It's a little a bit pricey but for the quality, definitely worth it. The portions are generous, and you can tell just by the way Yoshi puts your meal together that it's going to be great. Nigiri is about $2 to $3 per piece, rolls are from $4 to about $10 (and one or two a bit higher) depending on how exotic you're willing to go. I recommend getting one or two rolls (per person) and then filling up on the nigiri that you like. The don's are all about $20-$25. I skipped on the don's (they are a bit more expensive than I expected) so I can't comment on their quality; but, based on the sizes of everything else, I'd expect the don to be pretty filling. If you've never had sushi before, you may want to try the Chirashi don. Chirashi is essentially a bowl of rice with assorted sushi on top. It might sound risky but since sushi really isn't strongly flavored, you'll probably be able to eat everything and will likely find something you really enjoy. They also have much larger platters (30, 60, and I believe 100 pieces) but those are fixed in the type of sushi they offer and meant for groups. The setup is a bit interesting. It has about the same number seats as a typical sushi bar but spread out over twice the space so it's not nearly as cramped. They also have a large table in the back for bigger groups. Service is what'd you expect from a mom and pop shop. With (as far as I know) only one chef, the backlog can get pretty quick. I came in after the lunch rush and got my food (draggon roll + 10 pieces of nigiri) before I was done with the soup and salad. My bill ended up coming out to around $40 after tax and tip (no drinks). After getting familiar with the menu, I think I could bring that down closer to $30 by choosing different rolls. Still a little bit expensive but definitely worth the price! read more

There's nothing I could write here that would do this place justice. If you know what REAL sushi is, how superior the quality is, how different the skills of a legitimate sushi chef are over some cheap all-you-can-eat options or other such imitations, then you know just how rare it is to find, especially in the Capital Region. Yoshi and his wife, Yon, have an establishment here far superior to any other sushi offering in the area. Come here even once and you will struggle to ever go anywhere else. They are tucked in an unassuming spot in Latham, which in my opinion only adds to the experience. I wish there was a Yoshi Sushi in every town nearby, but that's part of what makes this place so special. Yoshi, a real master sushi chef, personally makes nearly every order himself. And it shows. I know this takes a great toll on them; they are both there, 5 days/week, every time we come in, and I know they have been hit hard by the slowed business and closures brought by COVID. The restaurant is now take-out only, but rest assured, the quality does not suffer, and you will have an equally tasty meal when you get home. Please, heed my advice, give them a try. And not just because they are hard-working and deserving members of our local community, but because they have the highest rated sushi in the area, and for good reason. The establishment is immaculate. The fish is beyond any high-quality you thought you were getting elsewhere; Yoshi personally travels to the port and hand-picks every catch on his Monday off, choosing only the best, and painstakingly prepares it for storing and serving. There's no gimmicks here, only the best sushi you have ever had. If this sounds like a post that couldn't possibly be true, I dare you to try them and see for yourself. Yoshi has brought a real and unbelievably delicious piece of Japan right to our backyard. The only problem with Yoshi Sushi is that you just can't get sushi like this anywhere else. read more

So happy to have a great sushi place with pick up options. Service is a bit slow but just order ahead and you'll have no problem. I have never eaten inside but when given the 20 minute pick up time everything was waiting as expected. Great options for vegetarians. Really delicious. So fresh! Puts other sushi places in the area to shame. read more

Came here for lunch-- they don't really have lunch specials. They have 1 sushi/California lunch set as a special. Chef ran a 1 man show. He make the food and served- quiet. I had a roll and 2 pieces of nigiri. The roll was standard, on par with other places. The nigiri was amazing. As amazing and fresh as 2 pieces of sushi can be. Salmon was beautifully marbled. I'll come back just for the nigiri alone. read more

We have never lived in Latham, but will never order sushi from anywhere else. Yoshi is a no-frills, delicious, and authentic experience. Without getting into too many details, here's one key thing that sets it apart: the spicy tuna rolls. Every other sushi place I know gives you this pasty, chopped-up tuna mixed with gross, creamy, not spicy mayo. Yoshi, on the other hand, gives you a delicious and fresh piece of whole fish with an awesome kick of real spice. No nasty mush here, just a piece of fish, spice, and rice. Boom - perfect spicy tuna roll. Same goes for their Boston Roll, which uses real shrimp and authentic Japanese mayo. If he has it, ask for the smoked trout roll - it's a real treat. read more

I came here last night with my daughter to try this place out. You come here for sushi and nothing else. I like that! I do not want to peruse a menu the size of War and Peace, when all I want is sushi. This place is no frills as one reviewer put it. This operation is run by a husband and wife and you can see that they are hands on. All meals start with a bowl of their miso soup. It wasn't bad but just a tad bit salty for me. We then shared 3 rolls, Rainbow, Avocado and Spicy Scallop. All three were good and tasted very fresh. One word of caution, the spicy rolls are definitely spicy, which I do like. They do not water down the hot sauce with mayo. I would have given this place 5 stars, but the service is slow. Once again it is only the husband and wife up front with a kitchen staff person helping with bussing the tables. In their defense the place was busy. I will definitely be back. read more

Yoshi Sushi - Rainbow Roll, Avocado Roll & Spicy Scallop Roll - Japanese Near Me - Latham, New York

Based on the reviews I decided to try this place. After moving to the Latham area, I needed to find a quality place to get my sushi on, and Yoshi Sushi was just down the road so I thought I was in luck. I've had sushi everywhere except in Japan (I know), so I know what quality sushi should taste like. I stopped in for takeout while I was still unpacking my new apartment one night and was profoundly disappointed. This was the worst sushi I have ever had. Zero flavor, none at all. Worse than any supermarket or Chinese buffet sushi. The texture was terrible- the rolls were like mushy rice, and since the fish had no flavor so that's all you tasted, mushy rice. The mackerel was two days away from turning. There was nothing good about my visit there. Just stay away, really. I'm most disappointed not because the meal was terrible, but because I'll now have to drive twenty minutes in one direction whenever I want sushi. I'm also confused as to how a place that receives such consistently high reviews on yelp be so bad for me? I mean c'mon man- some of that goodness had to rub off on the food I ordered? I am only giving two stars because the lady at the counter was very nice. Otherwise it's a definite one star "stay away at all costs" review. read more

First..the setting is nice and cozy. I sat down during dinner hours it got a bit busy. It seems like a family restaurant add it looks like just the husband and wife running the place, I didn't see noone else working. When we got our plate, the presentation seems rushed but it doesn't matter cause the taste was fresh! I ordered Uni but they didn't have any, that was a bit disappointing. Notice this guy came in for pick up that he called on the phone for and the order never went thru and ended up waiting a good 20 mins. read more

Best sushi I've ever had hands down. Very authentic. Also miso soup is probably the best miso soup I've ever had...they serve it right out of a crock pot. Everything I've had here is delicious. Also the spicy salmon roll and spicy tuna rolls are not some mushy concoction, real pieces of fish with a spicy sauce on the inside. If you want the real deal come here. Simply amazing. read more

Seriously?? Walked in about 6pm. Nobody greeted me. The sushi chef just stared at me. Nobody else in sight to tell me if I seat myself or what. ... I picked up a menu and looked for a while. Still nothing. Nobody around to greet, serve, etc. Is the mute behind the counter the only person there? Service was non-existent so I can't even comment on the food. What a shame. read more

I've had sushi in Japan numerous times but as my home is here in the capital region, its hard to find quality sushi. Yoshi's is my go-to place. Now taking into consideration it's only got two people on staff the service may be a little slow during lunch times. I now place my take out orders well in advance. The lunch special is only $8.99 and I dare you to find a better lunch for that price in Latham. Sushi, salad and soup. Minus one star for the lack of social skills compared to your typical Japanese restaurant (like in Japan where they greet you, say hello and literally thank you as you leave). read more

Yoshi Sushi - Typical lunch sushi - Japanese Near Me - Latham, New York

Ok...not going to spend too much time on this one. I just have to be the lone voice of reason on this place. It's not all that great. It's ok at best. The unagi (eel) wasn't firm in the least, the spider roll was wimpy and the wasabi shumai weren't even hot! I tried the salmon sashimi and the flesh was very pale...not a good sign. If I wasn't so hungry I wouldn't have eaten but a couple bites. Not good. read more

It sure took me long enough to get here. We went on a Saturday night, and after seeing all these Yelp reviews talking about how empty the place would be, I thought it would be busier considering all the good reviews. But no! There was only one other couple there at 7:00 pm. It's purely a husband and wife operation, and I find them completely adorable. There was only one other kid helping out answering the phone/serving tea, etc. True to the comments, sushi chef Yoshi kept to himself. It's a delightfully informal restaurant, and there wasn't even any cheesy music soundtrack like you normally find at Japanese restaurants. What's great about Yoshi's sushi is how uncomplicated it is. The menu is simple sheet of paper, a stack of which hangs on the wall next to your table You check off what you want. The restaurant is purely a sushi restaurant. I doubt there was anything cooked on the menu. They didn't even have green tea ice cream. Even the rolls were relatively uncomplicated and cheap. As such, Yoshi falls into a category of restaurant that I admire: The place that serves only one thing, but does it perfectly. The nigiri pieces were a good size, and the ingredients in the rolls were well-proportioned. I was especially impressed by one roll that had a very thin slice of apple curled into it. And their prices are probably the best around. I have the impression that sushi restaurants like this are common in Japan. Maybe that's misguided, I don't know. In America, it's seen as a special sort of meal. But at Yoshi, I could feel comfortable rolling in for lunch, eating nigiri with my hands, and bring pleasantly surprised by the bill. I feel bad that this is the closest sushi restaurant to my house, and it's taken me three years to get here. I'll be back. read more

To be fair I couldn't review the food. I stopped there for lunch after receiving a Yelp message about the place. I stood at the door for about five minutes without anyone approaching me until the man at the sushi bar motioned me to sit at the bar. I proceeded to review and complete the menu check list in front of me. It seemed like fairly standard fair. After 15 minutes of sitting there without contact while the server walked around the room helping others, I decided to leave. The place was a little grimy and there was seemed to be ash all over the bar. I swept it off to mark my menu. There were dirty place settings of dishes on both sides of me. Because of the state of the restaurant and ignoring me, I have no motivation to return. read more

Now this is the place to go for sushi! Yoshi(the owner/shushi chef) is on the quiet side, but he sure knows his fish! And the best thing is that everything is fresh! My personal favorite is the Futo-Maki! The key to a great Futo-Maki is the Tamago(egg) and he sure knows how to make it!!! 5 stars for Yoshi Sushi! If your in Albany in need of some Sushi or Rolls, this is the place to go!!! read more

The only thing I ever eat here is the Spicy Chirashi over rice. This dish is easily 5/5 for me and I've tried chirashi at several other sushi places and none of them even come close. Be warned though, it is pretty spicy and you might need a couple glasses of water. The rest of their sushi is pretty good and if you like their ginger salad dressing, you can order it there too as my girlfriend always gets a container of it and makes me some salad at home. read more

Wow! What can't I say about Yoshi Sushi! I'm a sucker for anyplace that is small and unsuspecting. After given a very goo suggestion from a friend I headed over one day to check it out. It was about 2 o'clock on a Monday and there was only one other patron in there. First thing I noticed was that there was only two employees in the place. Only what I can assume to be husband and wife. They were both very friendly and took my order as soon as I was ready. I received complimentary tea, miso soup and a light salad. It's little things like this that make a big difference. I ordered the Spicy Tuna, the Adrial Roll, and a few pieces of Hamachi sashimi. It all came out in about 10 minutes and looked magnificent. I first tried the Spicy Tuna and I immediately notice something different, this wasn't your average chopped tuna mixed with spicy mayo and tempura. This was something completely different and magical! The chef had mixed the tuna with a spicy chili sauce and a hit of sesame oil. It was a sensory overload. Delicious as it was I paced myself and tried the Adrial Roll. This one consisted of salmon skin inside and fresh salmon on top. The skin was cooked to crunchy perfection while the Salmon was just as succulent and tasty as you'd want it to be. Lastly my Hamachi was tender and flavorful. Living upstate, we don't have the opportunity to get fresh fish as often as someplace like say Boston or NYC but however they do it, Yoshi Sushi makes sure theirs is top notch. The last thing I loved about this place was the Japanese food items they sell, to me this just shows a little bit of organic personality of the owners coming through. Why did they pick these things? Are they favorites of theirs? I don't know but I was compelled to buy seasoned sesame seeds when I went back the following week. And yes, I've used them. read more

Based on the great reviews here on Yelp, my wife and I decided to try out Yoshi's last night and I am happy to report that I must agree with the reviews. Yoshi's is exceptionally good sushi at a very, very low price. I found it a bit odd as we arrived around 6pm on a Saturday that the place was empty, but as we were eating our Miso soup and salad which comes with all meals I noticed several people picking up take-out. The interior of Yoshi's is quaint, small but quite warm and comfortable. The restaurant seemed to be very clean. I can't say I was super impressed with the service. We filled out our sushi worksheets and waited a good ten minutes before Yoshi actually came over to pick it up. I'm not really sure if that's the protocol there, or if you're supposed to bring it up to the counter. I thanked Yoshi and a few minutes later our waitress came over with our soup and salad. We ordered mostly nigiri style sushi and this was really the shining star. The tuna and salmon were exceptionally fresh and rich. I am not usually a tuna fan, but this tuna was absolutely awesome. I also ordered some Spanish mackerel which I have had before but I really enjoyed the fact that Yoshi left on a small snip of skin and put ginger and some scallions on top. Why not 5 stars? Well I must say I was a little disappointed with the maki that we got. I ordered a spicy tuna roll and my wife had a yellowtail roll. They weren't quite put together how I expect them. Then again, I think the maki at Saso's is some of the best I've ever had, so maybe I raise the bar too high? Overall though, this place is a gem, for the huge amount of sushi we got the bill came to $40 for the two of us. I noted to my wife that if we were at Saso's and got this much it would easily be $60 - that's not a knock on Saso's as I truly believe it's worth it, but Yoshi's seems like a great, friendly place that I am sure we will go to again. read more
