Yokozuna Sushi

I was surprised at the low quality of food and service here, given the several high reviews. I stopped by on a Friday for lunch, and ordered a cucumber salad for $9 and a Chirashi bowl for $19. The pictures in the full-color glossy menu looked quite enticing. Alas, the accuracy of these photos was worse than a McDonalds food pic. The menu picture of the cucumber salad shows an artful arrangement of cucumber spears, radish, various bits of seafood, and seasoning. What I got was a couple dozen thin round slices of cucumber swimming in soy sauce and a piece of Krab laid on top. At a minimum they could have left me to season the cucumber myself, rather than drenching it in soy sauce. The menu picture of the Chirashi bowl showed a huge variety of treats (see attached photo): shrimp, tomago (egg), masago (fish roe), daikon radish, artfully arranged with a wide variety of fish, all seasoned with furikake. Compare that with what I received: ten or so pieces of roughly cut sashimi covered with a few onions and scallion pieces. No shrimp, no tomago, no masago, no radish, and unbelievably not even any furikake. The rice bed was small, and completely unseasoned. This was not a Chirshi bowl, it was a mere sashimi plate. Traditional chirashi, which means “scattered” in Japanese, has a big bowl of seasoned rice topped with fish, vegetables, and a variety of other extra touches. At a minimum, a restaurant should deliver what they depict on the menu. This was not even close, and at $19 was way overpriced. The restaurant was virtually empty, but the service was mediocre, with food simply plopped down on the table followed by the male server instantly vanishing, not asking if I needed anything else. Two stars, because the fish at least was chilled.

I love the Joey Vegas roll. They're not lying about it being hot, it's FIRE with their habanero sauce- watch out!! But go for it, flavor is on point, good size, tight rolls. Another favorite is their Baby Lobster roll too. Dragon is good, I love eel on top!! So glad they're open during these times, they've been a life saver! I cook at home, but I go out whenever I get tired of my own cooking or want a break from the kitchen- this is always a yummy treat.
