Yoshi’s Sushi

Yes i can taste these people know how to make sushi and the quality is very high. Just don’t start cleaning and closing your restaurant while other people are still eating and paying for your food!!! They don’t teach you manners in japan!!! I feel ripped off. 90 dollars for 2 people and i am still hungry!!! Last time i go here. Maybe to ask my money back!

Our fav local spot. Best art on the walls too! Yoshis wife does all the painting!

Yoshi is one of my favorite reasonable sushi restaurants in WeHo. The Jewelry Mine roll is awesome. The fish is really good and the service is great. Definitely recommend coming here on a low key night for some good sushi.

Amazing, amazing sushi! Our server was so nice and I really appreciated their willingness to make me a rainbow roll with real crab 30 min before closing. I have food allergies and they were so nice about it. Thank you!

Yoshi reminded me of a sushi joint in the outer Sunset District in San Francisco that I used to chill years ago. Looks like Yoshi is run by a family? Dad does sushi uncle maybe? Mom runs back and forth to the kitchen maybe aunt? And Son takes order and does everything else or nephew? Whoever is running this place, they sure know how to make that seamless experience. Best of all, our waiter was great and took our order quickly, and in a jiffy, our food started coming out. Just to let you know, their sushi was actually pretty good. I’d probably comeback here again if I’m in the area.
Until then, Cheers! ~ :p

The WORST sushi restaurant in West Hollywood.
Unless you’re willing to wait almost two hours for your food, then I suggest you find a better place to go to because honestly, this place has very bad service. I live in San Diego but I was in town for the weekend and I wanted to try something new… BIG MISTAKE! I stopped by with a party of 6 after a long day at the hello kitty convention. I was extremely tired and hungry and coming here to have dinner ruined my night.
When we first walked in I noticed that there were two other tables in the restaurant so there was no more than 10 of us customers total. We were greeted and seated right away and not too long after that, our server took our order. Our orders consisted of three dinner plates, seven different sushi rolls and our drinks. Our drinks came out quickly and about twenty minutes after that, our food started coming out one by one. Half of our orders were at the table about an hour after we were first seated. I noticed that two of the dinner plates were already out so I followed up with our server on my dinner plate and she said that it would be out shortly. A party of two walked in right after and ordered right away and about thirty minutes later, they got their food. The rest of our food came out the same time as theirs and to my surprise, my food wasn’t there and we were also missing a sushi roll. I was very annoyed at this point. When I called the server to ask about my food again, she informed me that my order was not put into the system. She also let me know that she put a rush on my order which came out about 15 minutes later. I ordered teriyaki chicken and was extremely disappointed with the overall taste of the food. I waited two hours to eat very dry and bland chicken. I didn’t even finish my food because it was disgusting.
We decided to ask for our bill and head back to our hotel room to get some rest before going out to the clubs later that evening. But, when I got the bill I was surprised to see that there was no comp or discount to my order after making me wait two hours to eat a disgusting meal. Really? One of my friends was really angry and asked is we could speak to the manager. He came over to our table and explained what had happened but didn’t apologize or even offer to comp my meal. He was standing at our table for about twenty more minutes giving us excuse after excuse until his wife came over and yelled at us. She gave us an attitude and told us that she would comp everything but the sushi rolls and the drinks. So we paid our bill and started to walk out the door. As I walked out I turned around and looked back at her and to my surprise she was giving us a dirty look.
I will not be returning to this restaurant in the future and I will make sure to tell me friends and family about this experience so that they can stay away as well. For everyone else that consider going here, don’t. Take an extra five minutes to look for a different sushi place in the area before you have your day ruined as well.

Most amazing albacore ever! Also fans of the spicy California ball, and spicy tuna on rice cake. Always friendly service. Love this place!

Should possibly be four stars, based on how often they have happy hour deals going on… The ambience is a little noisy and clumsy, other restaurants in the area feel nicer to be in. But like I said, this one has happy hour almost all the time. It’s tasty enough.

Decent sushi spot. I like that all of the workers there are Japanese.

Good quality sushi! It’s located right on Santa Monica Blvd, so you’ll have to circle around a bit in order to find street parking. On a Monday night around 7ish we found a spot right in front. It wasn’t crowded at all, a little dark and the interior décor is a little outdated, but it really comes down to the quality of the sushi, which was excellent.
Between two people we ordered:
Yellowtail tuna sashimi (7 pieces)
Salmon sashimi (7 pieces) — a sushi staple, it was just a tad bit tougher than other sushi restaurants, but filled with delicious flavor.
Halibut sashimi (7 pieces) — a light sushi, came with light sauce to dip it
Eel sushi (2 pieces) — so gooood
Uni (2 pieces) — an acquired taste but pretty good if you’ve had it before (know what to expect)
and one Jewelry Mine Roll (6 pieces) which is completely made out of fish and no rice by the recommendation of the waiter.
The service was very attentive and kind, so five stars for that!!! Overall, a delicious dining experience! A little expensive, but the quality of the fish and the service made it worth it.

Yoshi’s is a place I’ve been coming with family for several years, and I’ve always been pleased with my meal and the service! It’s not a big place so you will generally feel like you are getting family service when you’re there. The owners are almost always working and doing everything from being the sushi chef to the host to the waitress!
Besides having good quality traditional sushi, I think that the Yuki Roll is a great creation with very unique flavors and presentation. I really like mint leaf. The grilled sea bass is also great! I believe it’s marinated in miso and it’s always tender and delicious!
Check out yoshi’s!

Can’t believe I haven’t reviewed Yoshi’s until now! After discovering it a couple of years ago (thanks to Unilocal), it has become my favorite place to grab relatively cheap, always fresh and delicious sushi.
Although it’s located on one of the busier stretches of Santa Monica Blvd/​West Hollywood, it’s pretty easy to find street parking if you’re willing to circle a bit. They take reservations, but I have never had a problem getting seated right away when as a walk-​in. Grab a seat at the bar or pick a table and the staff will quickly come over with hand wipes and yummy tsunomono (cucumber salad).
There has been nothing I’ve tried there that wasn’t awesome, but they really stand out when it comes to their no frills, basic sushi (as opposed to decadent, fancy rolls). Sometimes a friend of mine and I will go and order 6 – 8 ORDERS (12 – 16 pieces) of albacore sushi because it is that good. From there it’s usually an assortment — red snapper, scallop, yellowtail, salmon. The sushi starts at $ 5 and goes up from there — totally reasonable. The only non-​traditional dish I will sometimes order is the spicy tuna on crispy rice ($ 6.95). Their spicy tuna has a serious kick to it, and it’s light because there’s no mayo to be found in their recipe. So good.
Their menu seems to have changed a bit as of late and I didn’t see udon listed on my most recent visit. It’s too bad because they did a great job with that dish. Not sure if I just missed it — didn’t ask because we ordered so much other stuff we didn’t need it. The yellowtail collar and the sweet shrimp sushi we ended up getting (in addition to a mountain of albacore of course) were excellent.
On another note, Yoshi’s is home to the most consistently spicy shishito peppers I have ever encountered in my life. Not sure how this is possible given the nature of the shishito and how only something like 1 in 10 is supposed to be actually spicy, but caution to you if you’re anticipating your everyday mild shishitos.
Like all sushi restaurants, you can rack up a pretty hefty tab here. At the same time, I’ve had bills that only came to $ 40ish total for two people. If you’re savvy, you can eat on the cheap and still leave feeling full. Conversely, you can stuff your face and not feel like you’re going to explode afterwards if you choose to go that route. Gotta love a place that allows for options.

What an underrated place. Great sushi. I’m mean really good and unique flavors while keeping it familiar. Reasonable prices especially for the alcohol. Really amazing tempura ice cream.
All in all its worth a 20 minute drive for me.

Local neighborhood spot — definitely recommend it.
I’m picky about Sushi restaurants — this is my fav in the neighborhood.
Also have great mid-​week Sake and Beer specials!
The bar is nice with enough seats and friendly staff!

My Local Sushi place.
The food is so fresh and tasting.
The owners and employees are Japanese. (a rarity nowadays)
I feel like I’m in Japan.
They are all great and they always have specials
Monday’s is half price beer
And the rest of the week is half priced sake.
As for YUKI She is amazing.

Great quality sushi! I stumbled across Yoshi sushi on my way home from the gym and decided to give it a try, soooo glad I did! I ordered albacore and salmon sashimi with a side of seaweed salad. Everything was delicious. The sashimi is so fresh and just melts in your mouth! I can’t wait to go back!

Possibly the best Sushi, and most authentic I have tried. The eel was powerful with flavor, but only lightly seasoned, and the yellowtail belly shashimi was exquisitely fresh and very high quality (I believe it was their fresh caught option, I noticed on their special board after I ordered). Now, what I loved most was the complexity of simple flavors on the Yuki roll. The plum reduction they used came across with a balance of sweet and savory, paired well with the white fish. As you finish chewing, the japanese mint comes into play and rounds out the experience with a fresh lightness.
I want to take this shop home with me, just sayin’.

The ambiance is slightly little lack lustered (but the painting of the cats running a sushi restaurant always makes me smile), but food and service is really nice. I loved the fried tofu. The sushi is well prepared. I also really enjoyed the spicy salmon hand roll.
What I love the most there is that not a single piece of dish ware they served me with (e.g. traditional soup spoon or bowl for miso soup) was made out of plastic.

Great to find another cheap neighborhood joint in the area.
The fish was relatively good, though not astounding. We got:
— Albacore nigiri ($ 5.75) — albacore was fresh as other users have mentioned
— Jewelry mine ($ 12.50) — this roll was PACKED full of fish (no rice) and wrapped in soy paper. Probably one of the better deals on the menu for the amount of fish you get.
— SCSS ($ 5.75) — your middle of the road maki roll. The best part of this roll was the price — again, a great value given the amount of fish: rice ratio.
Whole meal for 2 came out to about $ 40 including apps and sushi — not bad at all for a sushi dinner.
TL;DR — Hole-​in the wall neighborhood sushi joint great for a casual Sunday night dinner or takeout that is most notable for the value of sushi, though for high-​quality fish in the area I prefer Ajisai.

I lived in Tokyo for 3 years so I’d like to think I know a bit about the authenticity of a true Japanese sushi bar & this place is it! They speak Japanese, are very gracious, & humble. Their sushi is so innovative, fresh, intriguing and reminds me of the local joints I frequented downtown Tokyo years ago.
It’s bare bones, but very comfortable, as the attention is put on service and quality of ingredients.
Now, I just need to walk 4 blocks to be transported back to Japan! Without a doubt, I will bring all of my friends & family back to Yoshi’s to treat them to the real thing.

What an awesome find in my neighborhood! The sushi here is quite good. Everything I’ve had both times I’ve been here has been wonderfully fresh and delicious.
The service is awesome, very friendly and super quick. The sushi chefs are all excellent.
The place itself is on the small side, but the sushi bar is long and they have about 10 tables that fill up quickly. Saturday is a good night to come. Free house sake with the purchase of every beer.
I especially like the miso cod, so check it out. The prices blew me away. BF and I drop at least $ 200 + every time we go out for sushi and the bill was half of that at Yoshi for the same great quality we get at other 5 star places. I’m a fan.
The décor isn’t much to look at, but it doesn’t bother me. This is a casual neighborhood joint worth visiting.

It’s not in the realm of my favorite sushi joints, but it’s pretty great for the West Hollywood area.
For what it is and its prices, I’d say it’s worth going to this place regularly if you live nearby.
I dig their $ 1 sake special. By the end of the night, we realized that we had spent 3 hours at the sushi bar and had about 9 sake pitchers. This is what happens though when you have good food and great company. Our bill though came out to roughly $ 240 with tip though… We only had nigiri and no rolls.
For the same price, I know better places, but honestly, this is a mom and pop restaurant with such awesome service and such a friendly staff.
You feel very comfortable and homely here. I’m pretty sure we got real loud, but nobody seemed to mind as long as we were having a great time.

Durchaus gutes Sushi, hat mich nicht vom Hocker gehauen, ich konnte aber auch nicht wirklich etwas aussetzen.
