Sushi Yan

Sushi Yan is hands down my favorite restaurant in Boca. I get sushi from here at least once a week. It is cheap, fast, and DELICIOUS. I have never gotten bad sushi from here. The Green Dragon is always good. Currently, I’ve been obsessed with the Tropical Roll. The only negative thing I have to say about this place, is that its closed on Sundays and for some reason, I always want Sushi Yan on Sunday. :)

I really love their takeout Herr. I’m never disappointed. Quick and good for the price. I love the full house good am out of food for the money. Great little place.

I was hungry and solo, craving good food but not tablecloths or bars, and i found Sushi Yan, a simple and inexpensive fresh sushi gem in Boca Raton. It’s open late which is almost unheard of for anything other than a diner or bar food around here. It’s tucked in a strip mall and has two little tables inside if you do want to dine-​in. Looks super clean from behind the counter. It’s a cut above market packaged sushi to go. The combinations on the menu are more simple than gourmet sushi bars, with mostly shrimp, tuna, salmon, eel and california rolls. I ordered a rainbow roll: california roll topped with tuna and salmon for $ 9.50. That plus the really fresh seaweed salad brought me in way below my eat out alone for under $ 20 guideline. Friendly staff was a bonus… The woman smiled at me even though she was busy answering the non-​stop phone taking pick-​up orders! I’d say call ahead since you can, but they were lightening fast preparing my order! I’d suggest more eco-​friendly packaging plus i’d like to have a glimpse into the kitchen.

This is an awesome little place for sushi in Boca — though I would stick to the sushi. It’s quick, it’s clean, and it’s much better than grocery store sushi. This is great for nights where you want sushi but don’t really want to spend a ton of money or be at a sit-​down place. Much better than a stop at the grocery store.
I wouldn’t suggest the gyoza — it was mediocre and just not worth it. Their sushi is where it is at.
I got a green dragon roll which was amazing and filling. It was incredibly large — bigger than other ones I get at local restaurants — and very tasty. It’s as-​good-​as or better than other local sit down places, and at a fraction of the cost.
The spicy krab roll was fine — there was a ton of krab and it was good quality — but I didn’t eat much of it that day because the green dragon roll was a meal on it’s own.
Pricing is great, the location is clean and small, and the staff is friendly. Parking at lunch is a CATASTROPHE though, so good luck!

Not bad for its intended purpose. This is a small sushi take-​out restaurant. If you need a quick place to grab sushi, its not that bad. Sushi Yan is better than supermarket sushi, but not as good as a place you would go to on a weekend for dinner.
Its located towards one end of a strip plaza. If you were not looking for it, you would miss it. Like another Unilocaler mentioned, when you walk in it looks just like a Chinese take-​out. You see the order counter right away and then a few chairs and tables to sit. Nothing fancy as expected.
I phoned in my order for lunch to pick up and was told it’d be ready in 15 minutes which was awesome. They are definitely quick. I was hungry and went back and forth in deciding if I wanted one or two rolls. Being it was my first time there, I had no idea how big their rolls would actually be. I ended up going with one bigger roll for about $ 9 and a smaller roll for $ 5 to be safe. I ordered the Green Dragon roll and a Spicy Tuna roll.
The Green Dragon roll was pretty massive, I think I could have just stuck with that for lunch. The inside was shrimp tempura and cream cheese (way too much cream cheese), wrapped with avocado on the outside. I’m not a fan of cream cheese so picked most of it out. I think it still would have been fine if the roll was not so drenched in eel sauce and I mean from top to bottom. all over the avocado and the rice underneath was drenched.
The Spicy Tuna roll was okay. The tuna could have been more fresh, but probably still better than supermarket sushi.
So, would I come back here? Maybe. I would not cross it off completely. Its not bad if you want a quick sushi fix for pretty cheap. Just don’t go in expecting anything fancy.

I went here based on the good reviews, and it was nowhere near the quality I was expecting. Currently, they don’t serve anything other than tuna, salmon, shrimp, and fake crab. Granted, they serve these limited options many different ways, but they don’t even have yellowtail? Weird. I got a spicy tuna roll, but I didn’t like the flavor. The salmon sushi was fine. I won’t go back, though.

Grocery Store Sushi. If you like the artificially colored and gassed stuff at the grocery store you’ll like this place. If your a real sushi or sashimi person, don’t waste your time. How this place has 4 stars is beyond me? I tried the safe bets and they both were horrible. Tuna Sushi and a Spicy Tuna Roll. Yuck!

Perfect sushi place for takeout. Good roll combos, good prices, ready fast. Great dumplings.

I have been coming here for years atleast twice a week due to the fact I was a student at FAU and this place has the best sushi in boca I think. And I’ve been to almost every big sushi restaurant in boca. The owners are friendly and the sushi is quick and great quality for a great price. Have never had a bad meal. I’m out of school now but make it a priority to stop by whenever I am in the area.

Sushi Yan is a quaint, take-​out restaurant with a small menu. Although it may be small, Sushi Yan makes a big impression. Don’t let the small price tags fool you — the food is delicious! My boyfriend and I love sushi, and have since become regulars ever since discovering this gem.
If you’re expecting a large array of menu/​gourmet sushi options, this is probably not your best bet. The selection is small and simple, but they do small and simple just right. This is a perfect option for a stay-​at-​home date, or a quick lunch/​dinner. We usually split 3 rolls and an appetizer, and spend between $ 18-​$ 20.
Some of our favorites are: Seaweed Salad, Steamed Pork Dumplings, JB roll, Salmon Tempura Roll, Spicy Tuna, The Green Dragon Roll, Eel Roll.
The owners are very nice and offer a student discount. Highly recommended!

Went by there based on the reviews posted here on Unilocal.Now either the people posting don’t have a clue what good sushi is or all the reviews are phony. First of all none of the pictures posted came from there all the sushi wether you eat there or take it out comes in styrofoam containers not on plates like presented in the pictures. Second yes it is cheap but remember with sushi you get what you pay for. Third it’s strictly a takeout place it has only 2 tables, if you plan on taking a date here don’t plan on her going out with you again unless your married to her. So if your looking for a quick cheap bite to go then this is your place otherwise find another place to go. Fresh market and publix have better sushi.

Perfect place for take-​out sushi! I’m a regular here.
Keep in mind this is not meant to be a dine-​in restaurant. Take it to the beach or take it home. Eat in the restaurant if you want (it’s clean and comfortable), but it’s mostly a take-​out joint.
The prices are fantastic and the sushi is always fresh. I’ve gone to this place for a couple years, fairly regularly, and have NEVER had a problem with bad sushi. The staff is super friendly and they have a pretty big menu. My favorite is their caliente roll!

Ordered Glade sushi with cream cheese is simply incredibly delicious it sure beats other sushi joints in the area price is great and the gayozas are amazing!!!

Quick place to grab sushi! I grew up in Boca but never really ventured into this strip mall so I was pleasantly surprised. I got my sushi to go since the aestetics suck – very mental patient hospital feel with uncomfortable, cheap looking chairs and tables all the while listening to Maury to find out who the baby daddy is. Sushi was top notch, I got the green dragon roll however they really need to work on the packaging. I got home and they don’t separate the wasabi out so being the green dragon roll, I really had no clue if the next bite I was going to take was avocado or wasabi. Other than that, it was a lovely experience.

In expensive sushi open late. What more do you need? The sushi isn’t super fancy, but it is still quite good and definitely cheaper and above the Publix quality sushi.

I’ve come here dozens of times, and have never been disappointed. I recently went and ordered some menu items I hadn’t tried before and was still impressed. I can’t remember ever ordering anything I didn’t like, the food is always fresh, and service is friendly and efficient. I’ve had crispy spicy tuna, the red dragon roll, tuna tataki and the full house, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any of them. Sushi Yan is a rare find, can’t wait to go back!

Sushi Yan is definitely a favorite, the sushi is always fresh and the prices are reasonable. If you can’t decide, I’d definitely recommend the spicy tuna, red and green dragon rolls, tuna tataki, and the Neptune salad. I’ve never left disappointed, and highly recommend sushi Yan!

This is the best sushi around!!! It’s always fresh and quick. Ordering is easy and they are always friendly. I have eaten at several sushi restaurants in the area and nothing compares to Sushi Yan — love it!

Was not as great as it sounds. The shrimp tempura fell apart. Did not enjoy it as I would have somewhere else. Will not go back.

If you’re looking for a sushi restaurant for date night, complete with doting staff, relaxing atmosphere, and detailed plating, this won’t be the place. But if you want some quick and reliable takeout to satisfy your sushi craving, Sushi Yan would be near the top of that list.
It’s a very small business – the first time I looked for it, I missed it and had to drive back around. Most of the time, there is just one chef at the back, and one lady taking orders at the counter. A few people mentioned the lack of attentive service, but I would bear in mind that this is a takeout place with minimal staffing, and in a more cultural context, perhaps the person at the counter comes from a culture with different norms for interacting with others.
If you’re skeptical about the freshness of the food, you can always ordered cooked rolls. My friend and I did that the first time we came. The food was decent (and cheap!), and I haven’t had a problem with their sashimi or other rolls since. Making substitutions or requesting extra toppings/​sauces tends to be extra, though this happens at some other restaurants as well. However, if you have a student ID, they give you a little discount (I think it’s 5% but I don’t quite remember). I didn’t know about this at first, but one time when my friends and I were talking about a class while ordering, the lady just gave us all discounts after asking if we were students.
Overall, this is a great place for relatively inexpensive but mediocre sushi. I would peg it as a 3-​star place based on food alone. However, I had to bump it up because it was quite nice of the lady to offer us discounts when we didn’t know about it. In addition, this place is conveniently open pretty late.
