This is the place across the street. Excellent food, the ramen tastes authentic, the chairs are comfortable and the miso soup was so good. The only issue I have is they seem very unorganized, three different people took our order, somehow they got it right and out in a timely fashion. Thank you for reading my review, you're in the right spot, have some ramen! read more

I have now been here a few times and it has been about the same experience. The staff is friendly and you can tell they are trying their best. There seems to be a lack of people actually making the food and a number of people staging to hand out. But due to the lack of speed or maybe a lack of assessing how long things will take to make, expect to wait for your food, longer than you'd expect or want. The food itself is actually pretty good. Some is better than others. The seaweed salad is a waste of time and you get about 3 bites. Most of the rolls and sushi are pretty tasty. Small place. Kinda feels like you are getting stepped on or hovered over, especially if there is a line waiting for pickup. You can tell the staff is struggling with the space and is doing their best to navigate the tight space. read more

Hands down the best sushi and ramen place in Austin. The prices are so reasonable especially with their deals on simple rolls. If you're a Ramen Tatsu-ya fan, I'm telling you the Ramen here is better and cheaper! Lastly, the staff is always super nice when I'm here! read more

After placing online order and receiving notification that it would be ready in 25 minutes... we check in after those 25 minutes and waited another 40m. A total of 1 hour after placing our order we were told they hadn't even started working on it. If you're hungry, just do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. Y.G read more

This has got to be one of the best new Asian restaurants in Austin. Yoshiko has a bigger menu than what you'd expect: Ramen, Poke Bowls, Bento Boxes, Sushi, Yakisoba Noodle Dishes, Fried Rice, etc. There's something for everyone on the menu at a price that won't break the bank. I sampled their Spring Rolls that were perfect, very crispy and hot. With the huge menu selection, we decided on a lunch bento box with salmon, the entire box had an ample selection of crab rolls, veggies, rice and it was accompanied by a miso soup that was not salty like other places we've had it. I had a Troy Special Roll - shrimp tempura, avocado inside, spicy snow crab on top with eel sauce and spicy sauce. The flavors and textures worked perfectly together. We are definitely going back to Yoshiko, there's so much more on the menu for us to explore. read more

We live in South Austin and have been on the hunt for a good week night sushi spot. We noticed Yoshhiko when in the area and decided to try it out. Overall, my review is that it is good, not great. It gets the job done, but isn't really anything to call home about. If you want a standard sushi roll (hand rolls, California roll, Philadelphia roll, Spicy Tuna Roll) this place will be fine for that. I was personally disappointed that all specialty rolls had shrimp tempura and had a lack of true variety. Restaurant is very dark and could use better lighting/ambiance. Music was good, not too loud. We tried the following food. -Spicy Edamame - typically spicy edamame is done with garlic/chili paste/soy sauce. Theirs is covered with spicy Mayo which we didn't love. Yellowtail Jalapeño Sashimi Appetizer - a little too sweet. Added sriracha was a little overpowering. Overall, yellowtail seemed fresh. -Spicy Tuna Handroll (standard) - great ratio of tuna to rice. Loved the addition of the tempura. -Tokyo Roll (speciality) - good, not great. Overall flavor was just okay. Tuna seemed decently fresh. -Philadelphia Roll (standard) - good standard role. Salmon inside didn't seem super fresh. Service was good for this style sushi restaurant, about what you would expect for a no frills sushi spot. read more

I liked the ramen here a lot. Way better than paying $25 for a bowl at some of these other Austin chains. Everything was reasonably priced. The inside is small and quaint but it's also quiet. Staff was friendly, you have the option to order from your phone. Will be back. read more

This place might have gotten by before Ramen Tatsuya opened across the street. Its ramen is horrible by comparison. We tried it one night because Tatsuya was swamped and I wouldn't go back. Didnt try the sushi, but if the sushi is on par with the ramen, then I am glad I didnt because atleast I know I'm not missing anything. Wont be going back. read more

I do hope to return one day once they've hired more people/worked out some of the new biz kinks. Service was just incredibly slow- and this was a Wednesday night so I imagine it's worse on weekends:/ You're not greeted or anything and the order system isn't explained to you- we had no idea that it was all qr/contactless ordering. The sushi was good, but took about 45 min to come out. Our ramen came out faster, but it unfortunately wasn't very flavorful...lotsss of to go orders came and went much faster than our sushi came out, so I think that's the route we'll go if we decide to give them another try. read more

Unassuming strip center location, but you will be surprised how good this place is. We absolutely love their ramen - better than other places nearby. Also their sushi is fresh and well-prepared- really, everything we've tried has been delicious. We usually get take-out, nice little bar while you wait, and it's a cozy place to eat in as well read more

Sushi was average. Service was terrible. Walked in at lunch on a Thursday. There was one other person seated. No greeting. I guess there was a sign they said grab a table. There were QR code's at the table that were too small to scan. Got it to scan and placed and order with the app. Still no one came over or had any communication. Finally after sitting there for 30 mins we asked for water. Never once spoke to us or asked if we needed anything throughout the whole process. Food was fine. Experience was not. Will not be back. read more

*EDIT: now have eaten there 6 days in a row LOL ‍ We ordered from them 5 days in a row...if that's not proof that this place is bomb then I don't know what is how lucky we are to have a Japanese restaurant that is truly authentic AND incredibly priced!! Great options for vegans (their vegan ramen is great!! Plus I don't know what they do to their avocado roll but it tastes way better than typical avocado rolls...even my partner was surprised since it's like "how good could an avocado roll be?" trust us it's so freaking good!! Maybe it's the huge amount of avocado they use and how they make their rice??). I also had their sweet potato roll and tempura veggies--both were great! :) Anyways, my non-vegan partner loved their sushi and sashimi--for the prices and quality, it definitely is worth it!! We saw the size of the yakisoba and our jaws literally dropped (though I'm not sure if the serving sizes are the same for takeout vs dine-in...maybe it's the presentation, which was also wonderful!) It's obviously not Uchi level, but if you're craving authentic Japanese food for an awesome price that's not super Americanized Asian fusion, definitely try this place out!! As a comparison to the places we've been, the quality is better Bang Bang sushi, Tsukimi, Sushi Junai, Haru, and definitely WAY better than Kura, RA Sushi, Lucky Robot. Also, we noticed that they seem to be low on servers/employees, maybe it's because they just opened...so please be kind! We had to wait a bit to get a table but I think it's because there's only 3-4 people working the entire restaurant so far, including the owners. They do have a sign that says "hiring" so if you know someone that needs a job please share! This place must stay open, it's the only/most authentic Asian food restaurant in south Austin we've found so far!! read more

So I've been to this place 3x now and I'm pretty solid on this rating. 1st I came in here for one did not know how small this place was so if you try to get here like 6 to 6:30p as a walk in be prepared for a waitlist - check out the coffee and pie place two doors to right while you're waiting. They finally got some staff (hopefully they stay) cause that 2 server business without support was insane the first two visits. Also don't get confused with that line going to the register cause these guys have an omega level 'to go' line mixed with the wait line. Food wise during those visits: Spicy Edamame - blah Gyoza - yes Shrimp Shumai - yes Hamachi Kama - yes (takes about 15-20 mins you heard it now) Miso Soup - meh Gyoza Soup - better Yellowtail Jalapeno - okay but something was missing on this Tuna Tataki - was too safe; needs spice Ramen Bowl - Hell yeah (I went Spicy Pork route; did not disappoint) Sushi and Sashimi - there's the gold but stay away from Escolar/Super white tuna - it taste good initially but you eat too much of this you're gonna have stomach problems - lesson learned years ago - you're welcome America). *you guys need to get some O-Toro Tuna or just Toro cuts on the menu FYI (expand). Dinner Bento Box - oh yes - for that price point for the portions you are getting; very solid choice if you guys are first timers or on the fence (can't imagine what the lunch bento box looks like) Overall the place is legit for the location that it's in. It's got some growing pains to sort out from an operational standpoint FOH/BOH , but I'm glad it's in the area. read more

I've now been twice and we'll be back. Prices are in the normal range for this type of food. Translation - not cheap. But, that's ok. Rolls are in the range of $12-16. Ramen, 2 rolls, 2 apps, 2 sodas - ~$75 all in. Service is fine. Not spectacular, not bad. The vegetable ramen my daughter got today was ok but it had a big serving of unseasoned steamed broccoli dumped on top. She would have been happier with one of the meat toppings without the egg and meat (she just wants noodles and broth). I wouldn't get the Angel roll again. Less heat and more "green" taste than I expected. Didn't have the jalapeno taste I was expecting. The Tokyo roll was good, but I removed and ignored the black "fiber" on top of the garlic crunch. The shrimp tempura was good, but the sauce was a little bland. The spring rolls filling made the inside a little soggy. I like having this as a choice this far south. One word of warning. It's small on the inside and can be crowded at peak meal times. We went at off-time today and there were only a few parties. We got the last table when we went the first time at meal time and you're as close to the party at the next table as to your own table mates. read more

We finally tried the ramen restaurant by our house. It's pretty good. It's different than my favorite ramen place in Austin but it's not bad. The broth is not as rich as I'd hope. The restaurant itself is very small. I can't wait to try their sushi next time. I will update my review then. read more

We've been coming here for 6 years and the food is always great. I've been to every sushi place in Austin and this one is my favorite. I'm so glad I live close-by. I worked at a sushi place in my hometown and learned a lot about sushi there. I have a special place in my heart for Yoshiko because the food and atmosphere is very similar. All of the special rolls are great, the fried rolls are even better and the poke bowls are always fresh tasting; not fishy. For some reason, the wait staff seem to change frequently but the chefs and female manager/owner have stayed the same. Some hot food (especially the gyoza) is just better fresh which is why we dine in occasionally but we more often get it to go. It's usually ready in 20 minutes. We add ten minutes to what they quote over the phone because we've learned it usually takes longer than what they think and we hate standing around for our food. Some things they might want to train wait staff on: don't ask the customer how things are tasting while they have their mouth full of food, take dirty plates away as soon as possible and don't drop the check off until the customer asks for it; doing so insinuates that you are rushing people out the door. There's no reason to turn tables if the restaurant isn't busy. Let people enjoy the experience and the food. Eating out is becoming a special event for people with inflation being so high. They are more likely to come back if they feel relaxed; free to take their time and enjoy the meal. These are all common knowledge but young servers may not be aware if this is their first job. read more

Food quality is very low. The spicy edamame is just edamame tossed in A LOT of spicy mayo. The roll comes 1/2 hot and 1/2 cold. I was scared to get sick. The chicken fried rice is made with the lowest quality protein. I was really looking forward to finding a local sushi spot as I just moved to South Austin. This won't be it. I didn't eat anything and they didn't care to know my feedback. They just sent me the full bill and left. My server was very nice. It was her first day and she is lovely and attentive. I went back to speak to the manager. She said since I was going to leave a review she wouldn't refund me. Lack of professionalism and quality. Do yourself a favor and save yourself from a bad experience. read more

We tried this place because the wait at a busier one was too long. Pretty solid sushi and ramen. Sushi rice is on the neutral side: slight vinegar, maybe some dashi; I prefer stronger but many people do not. There are many choices on the menu, so will probably try again. read more

We are from Wichita Falls, TX and are traveling through to South Padre Island for vacation. We stopped here halfway to stay and get dinner and we chose this place. We love ramen and sushi as it is, so we thought "why not"... Everything was absolute perfection. From the gyoza, to the sushi, to the ramen... This place is really a hidden gem. Although we don't live here, if I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely be back!!! read more

I ordered from their website, food was hot and ready to go when I arrived. The tataki was good, but the spicy pork chasu ramen was really disappointing. It wasn't spicy at all appeared as though they gave me the regular broth by mistake, come to find out that wasn't the case. The ajitama egg and pork lacked flavor. Customer service was okay as I called and said I received the wrong broth, but when they replaced it, it was the same broth. read more

Got the vegetable ramen + marinated egg. Both were decent, nothing to rave about. As per usual vegetable ramen protocol at other ramen places, you need to purchase the egg separately read more

The place has great food and service. It has an excellent atmosphere and the servers were pleasant and polite.

Have been to Yoshiko a few times and it has always been slightly disappointing. It certainly doesn't stand out as anything special. The dining room is small and feels a little disorderly, with takeout containers and on display on the decorative shelving, alongside their beer/sake/wine selection and random kitschy Asian memorabilia. It always smells strongly of cleaning products, which is not a smell I enjoy while dining. The sushi is hit or miss, some fresh, some not as much. The ramen was all right, but nothing to write home about. The service is slow. Overall, underwhelming... to the point that even though we live close, we now usually drive further to get our sushi or ramen fix. read more

Worst poke bowl ever. $24 for next to nothing in the bowl, not fresh. I used to go there frequently. Won't be doing that anymore. read more

I'll be back and you should too! read more

What a weird experience. I wouldn't recommend ordering from Yoshiko if you'd like your food within a reasonable amount of time. It's hard to be mad because it seems like the staff is very tired & overworked, but waiting over 40 minutes past the order ready time for 5 sushi rolls & one appetizer is ridiculous. Unfortunately, this also isn't the first time I've had to wait this long for food here. Not gonna risk another try at Yoshiko. read more

What a pleasant surprise having a sushi place only a few minutes from where I live that serves amazing sushi! I went in at lunchtime and ordered their lunch special of two rolls and a side. I chose the Yoshiko roll, spicy tuna roll and miso soup. The Yoshiko roll was incredible-the fish was fresh and it was so flavorful as was the spicy tuna roll. The miso soup was tasty and with plenty of tofu. The prices at lunch are great and it is enough food for two meals. Yoshiko has been a weekly visit since I learned about it! read more

I can not say more good thinks about the spicy tonkotsu broth! This might be my favorite ramen place since daruma closed. The broth had so much flavor and there was a kick to the spice added to the broth. I had the pork chasu ramen with spicy tonkotsu, I also tried the regular broth and it was also tasty but my buds love the heat. Be kind to the staff as they are short staffed at the moment. There is a wait to get food but it is so worth it! The gyoza's were also delicious. Love this place! read more

Doesn't look like much considering it's in a strip center with dark windows. Even when you walk in it's a little small, but oh my goodness, the food is amazing!! We thought it would be "ok", but we're blown away by the quality, freshness, and taste of everything. We even asked to have the football game out on and they changed the tv for us. The ramen was hands-down one of the best we've eaten and the sushi rolls were great. The place had quite a few people coming in for take out and the tables filled up in waves. This place is a south Austin gem for sure. read more
