We got the Heaven, Yoki Roll and Lucky 7. They were all good but the Lucky 7 was just phenomenal!
We also forgot our keys and credit card on the table only to have the staff run out and give us our missed things. Great food and super friendly service.

Was visiting from out of town. My girlfriend and I always make a point to get sushi when we visit the coast, and Izakaya Yoki did not disappoint. The food was delicious. We greatly enjoyed the strawberry soju cocktail as well.

Popped in for a quick bite and was not disappointed. At first the restaurant was empty and I was skeptical, but by mid meal it had filled some (2pm) and I was already sold. I went with the lunch bento special, $16, with chicken karaage and pork katsu. Both fried, but light enough to want seconds. Both dipping sauces were vastly different and both great. Would come back and try the sushi, that's what I see the other tables going happy over. Cheers. PS: I definitely took a photo pre destruction but I have no idea where it vanished.

Loved the gyoza to start, it was very crunchy and flavorful. The lion king roll and galaxy roll were delicious. But because the sushi rolls were so flavorful it left the chirashi tasting a bit flavorless. Overall yummy food but stick with the rolls! Also uni bites were tangy and fishy burst of flavor, worth trying!

I got the dinner bento with beef teriyaki and salmon roll! I also got a seaweed salad! Everything was pretty good. The only thing is that the sushi tasted a bit iffy but other than that it was really good!

The food is very tasty, we ordered the bulgogi which was just the right balance of sweet and savory. The cutlet is a huge portion of food that has two different sauces on it. The family platter doesn’t seem like a lot of food but actually it’s plenty of delicious tasting food. All in all, seven people were pretty full from all the food

Fun little spot. By the time we were heading out the lines were growing.
We had a Tiger Roll, Chicken Karagge and the Salmon Tartar.
The Tiger Roll was the stand out. Seriously. For some reason that Tamago/Eel combo works so well. Great rice and one of the better sushi rolls than we have had in awhile.
The Salmon Tartar was good, but, I'd rather have had the sauce as a drizzle than have the fish swimming in it. But that's me. With tartar I want the star ingredient to sing.
The Karagge, I really wanted to like but it was the most lackluster of the three. So, I'd suggest other items.
Happy hour came with a half priced pitcher of beer so that was fantastic.
I'd love to go back (time permitting) but I'd just order sushi next time.

Incredible food. Decent atmosphere. Friendly staffs.
Their yoki salad is amazing as well as the salad in my dinner plate (which I usually never touch in every Japanese restaurant I visit ). The shrimp rush roll was really tasty and fresh... you can tell they use quality ingredients.
The mixed tempura in my dinner plate only had 1 piece of shrimp, and the rest are veggies that are a little too oily for me. I don't recommend it.
But everything else was great and priced reasonably. Will be back for sure.

Was craving some sushi near my hotel & decided to try this place - WOW!! I had the Aloha roll and Uni Scallop appetizer, both were delicious. Arrived at 5pm and by 5:45 it was full inside. I come to SF once a month to DJ in the Marina District and will definitely be coming back to try out the rest of the menu!
Jan 28 2023 edit - indeed I came back a few months later for the Yammy Yammy Roll which was amazing and also the Bulgogi plate
May 2023 - Jungle Boogie was really good!!
June 2023 - Lucky 7 (bottom in pic) & spider roll (top)

We are here almost weekly. Sushi is always very good as well as the seaweed salad. If you get there between 5-7 they do 50% off all alcohol. Staff is always very nice and always gets as sat right away. They have a good selection of saki so you can easily find some for anyone. This place is very much worth checking out.

Izakaya Yoki is a cute, dimly lit restaurant that serves a mix of Japanese and Korean food.
We wanted a good place to eat for our last day in San Fransisco, which was also our 5 year anniversary (and being newly engaged since my boyfriend proposed earlier that day! :)). So we settled on Izakaya Yoki because we had seen it while passing by and saw the reviews.
For a reservation, you need to go on their website and use the contact/inquiry button to ask for a reservation or you can go on Yelp and request a table! They got back to us at around 11a-12p and it was confirmed.
As for the food, it was pretty good, the udon (8.5/10) was delicious and their tempura (8/10) was great! They are a bit expensive especially for the tempura, which made it not really worth it for what you get. However, it was still good and was satisfying.
As for the servers, they're quick, nice and available to help when you need them. The manager/owner (?) was active in helping and even remembered that when I, initially made the reservation, I put we were celebrating an anniversary, so they brought out a cute, and delish, dessert!
Overall, a great place to eat and have fun with others!

Great mix of sushi and Korean bar food. Enjoyed scallop bites and fresh sashimi. Seafood burrito is huge and delicious. So was seafood pancake. Finally finished with uni bites 👌
All drinks 50% until 7! 🍻so we had Kirin and soju.

Went for an unplanned dinner with a few colleagues. We were seated quickly without a reservation.
The food was amazing, the service was incredible. The highlight way one of our gauchos, Milton. Amazing service great personality and quick with the filet. But it server Mateo held the dinner together. Keeping drinks filled and making sure we will taken care of.

Visitor from out of town, I travel a lot. I loved their teriyaki beef and came back 3 times.
Their staff was incredibly kind, when I lost some hardware they kept it for me and got it back safely.
In being honest when I say eating here made the San francisco experience as a whole way more positive, and on top of that the food was amazing.
Thanks again, I look forward to eating here when back in San Francisco.

Sushi was fresh and amazing
I was here with my colleagues for dinner and we had such a great time. I would definitely visit again.
We were seated shortly after our arrival. And our order was delivered to our table quiet quickly.

It is a place where members of the former Izakaya ninja gathered and made. It retains the popular items of the ninja while showing off its new menu. These menus are fancy and delicious.
The new menu shows traces of hard work.
The new menu, Salmon spinach Dip was neat and delicious. Both the old menu, Okonomiyaki and Yaki Plate, have become more delicious, maintaining their old taste.

I am not used to going to many sushi places. But my friend suggested this place and I had a good experience with that. My friends also like their food and even order more of some items.
