I only tried Kani salad and shrimp hibachi at this place. The only thing I like the most is just the shrimp. My fried rice is even better than theirs. Since many people recommend Kani said I tried it. However I don't like it at all. Sure It is different from other Kani sale. However It has all cheap unhealthy crispy chips inside with just little crab steak meat. You might feel tasty for first several bites. The more you have the more you feel sick of the oiliness. Besides, that crispy chips is much cheaper than crab stick. But they charge way much more than Kani salad in other restaurant. In a word, I think the food quality here does not match their price. I don't know why this place can get 4.5 star.

Came here thanks to a friend's recommendation and boy am I glad I did. The sushi was truly delicious and the service was great as well. For an appetizer the hubby and I went with the Tuna Combo Roll (YUM!). The main course consisted of the Pain in the Ass roll and the Sleeping Beauty...both rolls were super tasty and of good size. Can't wait to go back!

A diamond in the rough. Fantastic and reliably good. I just wish they were open on Sunday. (5/19/12 ETA: Now they are open 7 days a week!) The owner always remembers what we have had and that we prefer brown rice...even if I forget to ask for it, he will come over and ask if we meant to ask for it. You don't get that kind of service much more.

This place is awesome! My family goes there quite often and we always make the trip when we are in town. Small and family-friendly with fresh ingredients and great rolls and dishes!

I'm glad I found this place. The number of sushi places that I would eat at in this area is little to none. I saw this place on Yelp and it had a lot of good reviews so I figured I'd give it a shot. At first glance the location and exterior is nothing to write home about. It's right across the street from the train station. Once you go in you'll find yourself in some cramped quarters as well. The tables and the rugs are kind of worn out. I'm sure this place can be uncomfortable to eat in once it gets packed. For that reason I knocked it down to 3 stars. On the filp side, the sushi was good. It's nothing like eating at Oyako Tso or Hotoke, but for a local sushi dive, it's good. I had rock shrimp as an appetizer that had an amazing glaze on them, followed by a spicy shrimp roll and a philadelphia roll. It's a BYOB but for some reason they have a bunch of bottles of liquor lined up behind the sushi bar. The bill came out to about 50 bucks for 2 people. 5 rolls, and an appetizer. Not a bad price in my opinion, but there are other sushi restaurants that offer better rolls for the same price. Overall this is a great location if you are local and don't feel like driving just to have a couple of rolls. It's not amazing, and it's definitely not bad. It's just good. A gem for locals. Go here.

One of the better sushi places in NJ, period. This place is a gem and one of my favourites.

Really good sushi. Reasonably priced ... especially the lunch menu. The server keeps refilling the hot tea which is great during the winters. Ordered the Sushi & Sashimi Lunch special (about $12) and it had nice cuts of fish and was quite filling.

Yoshi is my favorite sushi place. The food is great and the service is friendly. If there is something that you like, but don't see it on the menu they are willing to make it for you as long as you can tell them what goes in it. The TNT roll is one of my favorites.

My bf and I have tried different sushi places around New Jersey and we both agreed this is the best Sushi place around! The food is always fresh and always good. Everything I have ordered on the menu is always delicious. We no longer go to any other place but Yoshi!

Best place for sushi in the Woodbridge area. Came here on a friend's recommendation, and I never looked back. Also, I recommended it to another friend, and she loved it too. Firstly, the sushi is always fresh and delicious. They have a nice selection and enough items on the menu for the sushi shy (cooked choices.) The prices are reasonable. It's a BYOB, so I love to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with my sushi. The staff are friendly, too.

I came in on an cold night and sat at the sushi bar. I had the sashimi for 1 which was excellent and a good value. The ambience was nice although the restaurant is fairly small. The service was good. My only complaint was about the miso soup which was below average. I admit I am fairly picky with miso as I have tried so many in my hometown of Los Angeles; however, it's just kind of bland. I would go back to this restaurant though. I found parking in the small, icy lot in back, but I would guess that parking can be an issue sometimes since it's near the station - don't know for sure though.

Jade W.
Yoshi is THE best sushi in Woodbridge hands down. The staff are super friendly and remember their regulars. I used to work here before they took over and I have to say we always said that any business there was under a curse and destined to fail but Yoshi has broken this curse!

I must eat here at least 2x a week. The best sushi around! Try the spicy shrimp roll... You will not be disappointed!! Awesome service, food and prices!

As a Asian aficionado for whatever weird reason I've never indulged in sushi. I've been to tons of sushi restaurants & would check it out here & there, but it never became a thing for me until I went to Yoshi. For the longest time a student at the school I work at always brought it up & said we should go, etc. I put it off until one day a coworker wanted to try it out. I went along & then proceeded to be lead into the keymasters to my gatekeeper of Asian food. Sushi is now my gateway Asian food. Since that day I'm there weekly & always make the effort to maintain that even if the funds aren't quite there just because it's that damn good. I've really dived into the menu & I can honestly say that there is no bad item on the menu. Though I strongly reccomend the Chef's Specialty rolls. Plus with names like The Pain In The Ass Roll, The Green Hulk, & The Devil's Roll (extremely hot) that not only have cool names but also live up to the name is a rarity (for me) with sushi joints. Tucked away on Pearl St right in front of the train station it really is a pearl of a find. It looks like every other Asian restaurant but appearances are deceiving this place is a paradise for sushi lovers & Asian foodies alike. I try to bring as many friends & family to this place as possible. Whether they hate Asian food, "don't get it," or are confused they all come out the same...Begging for more. If you want Sushi this is the ONLY choice.

Best sushi in the area...their spicy rolls are excellent. We usually do takeout at least every other week. It's a small place but the quality and taste of their food is amazing. Definitely try their money bags! They are a must! Will never order sushi from anywhere else again!

Amazing. Love the spicy kani salad, sushi sandwich, all their specialty rolls and the money bags for dessert were fantastic. LOVE!

I've been to many many sushi places before, and have yet to find one as good as Yoshi. Not only are the people there incredibly friendly, but the sushi is exceptionally well-made. I'm very particular about sushi because it can sometimes taste too fishy, or the rice can feel as if it's been sitting in water too long. And yet, I have never been disappointed with Yoshi...ever. My boyfriend and I go so often that they can take our order without having to ask us. I couldn't recommend a better restaurant.

I HAVE to eat here at least once a week or else I get "Yoshi Cravings". This place is has the best sushi and greatest service - I'm lucky that I can step off of the train and walk straight into Yoshi's. The stuff I love: Beef Negomaki Green Salad (extra dressing!) Refreshment Roll (Tuna, Salmon, Avocado Soy Paper Topped w/ Masago, Mango) 33b (Three rolls - Spicy Tuna, Spicy Yellowtail, Spicy Salmon) 35b (Three rolls - Tuna Avocado, Salmon Cucumber, Green Dragon) Veggie Fried Rice (take half home and scramble it with some eggs the next morning!)

Best Sushi in NJ I could eat the: Spicy Kani Salad, Sushi Sandwich, House Roll and MoneyBags everyday. The salad is unlike anything I have ever had. What an amazing combination of flavors. The sushi sandwich has spicy tuna and avocado with an incredible dipping sauce to die for. The house roll is shrimp tempura with banana and spicy tuna on the top. Another incredible creation. The money bags are cream cheese, scallions and I think crab meat in a tempura type batter. Yum! The nicest people run this place. I only wish they were closer to my house. Better than any sushi I've ever had in NYC. Amazing! Love you Yoshi!

I LOVE this place!!! The seafood is so fresh and clean tasting like it just jumped out of the ocean! This is a very friendly, clean, casual place for dining. My favorites are the Fiery Pheonix Roll (spicy goodness), Crazy Dynamite Roll (with tempura shrimp) , Yimi Roll (with nice crunchy apple slivers) , House Roll (with banana, unusual and really good!) and the fish tacos (cold fresh fish with crunchy fried wonton wrapper "taco"), but...I have been eating here so often that lately I eat the same things all the time because when I find a favorite I tend to stick to it and don't stray much. I've had the owner, Del, pick out some new dishes for me to try and they are all fabulous! Now when I go there, I try different things all the time. Some recent hits have been the Devils Roll (fish with fresh jalapeno slice paired with avacado makes a nice hot peppery/crisp vs cool creamy avacado combination) , Green Dragon Roll (my friend's favorite) , and sea urchin. So I can say without hesitation that most likely anything you find on the menu will be a "hit". BYOB is a plus as it keeps your dinner bill very reasonable. We all know what a mark-up those bottles can be at a restaurant. Some people say that it's not really great for a large crowd but I have seen the staff throw a few tables together on occassion that they seated a party of 10 comfortably, and I'm guessing that if you have a larger party, they could hook you up as long as you gave them some advance notice. For people who aren't so keen on raw fish, I've seen many customers enjoy the teriyakis and hibachi dishes of cooked meats that looked and smelled really tasty. I have had a fish tempura dish with a mango salsa that was out of this world! Friendly staff and quick flawless service. Comfortable and casual dining atmosphere that has become a neighborhood loved establishment that is very welcoming and friendly to all who visit. Ample parking in their adjacent parking lot or on the street in front of the restaurant and,later in the day (after 6), plenty of parking at the train station just accross the street, though I've never had a need to park there myself. I wish I found this place years ago!

This past Sat I was in the mood for some Sushi. And Lo n Behold I found Yoshi here on yelp and the reviews were good. I said why not. So as soon as my husband got home I mentioned dinner at Yoshi. And so we headed North from North Brunswick. I, my husband and our little toddler girl in her carseat. The place is quiet small but that did not bother me. Decor is very straight fwd simple and that was fine by me. My husband on the other hand thought maybe the place could have a bit more decor hihihi...I thought really honey? LOL Drum rolls... I had sushi n sashimi for 1 spicy tuna roll option n my husband opted for a bento box. Dont know what he selected but the dumplings he had were so delicioys. We also had appetizers, squid and battered fried shimp. Loved the squid and my husband loved the sauce. He literally used the sauce to eat it w sushi. Almost fought the owner hihihi ( a very nice warm lady) when she tried to take the empty plate that only had the squid sauce. Our server also tried to take the plate away but my husband refused n eventually he scraped the sauce onto his plate. It was too funny. Funny coz when it happened both times he had his mouth full and could not talk lol. Overall I must say, I loved the experience we had. And we will Def go back. And hopefully when our baby girl (15 months) can eat sushi, she may try it and review it herself hihihi. The owner and her son were great hosts. Keep it up. Two thumbs up :-)

Yoshi is a hidden gem in Woodbridge, NJ. Small, cozy and very tastefully decorated-- it's pretty amazing. I highly recommend their spicy Kani salad-- honestly like no other. I've ordered it in other restaurants and I always end up comparing because they never live up to the taste. Their specialty rolls are pretty good too. I love their mango cucumber roll, which has a perfect tangy flavor; their summer roll is great if you love a combination of a California roll with spicy crab on top. Their service is pretty awesome too. They're a family owned business and they're very warm and friendly. Their parking space is a little tight and they're located across the Woodbridge train station but I've never had a problem finding a slot. If you're in the area and have a craving for sushi, this is your best bet. They're also a BYOB so bring in your wine and enjoy!

Literally the worst, rudest sushi restaurant masquerading as authentic sushi. The interior design is not authentic, and the attitude of people the remade me wish I was back in he military under fire from Iraqis, because frankly they at least had the common courtesy to give us warning shots whereas these jokers won't even hesitate taking your money while feeding you their crap, and not even pretend to be happy while doing it!

First place I ever had sushi and it's a can't miss restaurant. Been here over 20 times and each time was perfect. My wife and I usually will get the green dragon roll and spicy tuna roll.

Considering the fact that we had a group of 17 people and were loud and obnoxious with our sake bombs, they tolerated it all! Came here for my birthday dinner and brought a handle of sake, beer, and some rum. It's a pretty small restaurant so I'd say my group of 17 occupied half of it. They offered to heat up our sake and also served it to us in sake cups! That was very nice of them. My friend brought their own coke can, which i think was not allowed after looking at the waiters face but he let it slide by. Brownie points right there. The food was delicious. They have such a huge variety of sushi it was so hard to pick. After reading reviews, i had to get the house roll, which is probably now my favorite sushi ever. Who would've thought putting banana in sushi is actually good? Also got the dynamite roll. SO GOOD. It was spicy and crunchy and yummy! I liked their all day specials of 2 regular rolls and one special roll for 17 or 20 bucks. FYI they charge extra for spicy mayo. At the end of dinner, our waiter asked us if we wanted a group picture, which I didn't even think of at all. Thank you waiter! They made the food very quick, maybe cause they wanted us to get the hell out or because they were just really quick. But point is, I'd definitely come back for the house roll!

I would come here once weekly if NJ traffic wasn't the bane of my existence. The sushi is just so meticulously made with so much love and a understanding of delicious food that speaks to my soul. Ok, I'm getting a little excited just thinking about the last meal I had here. The rolls are so creative and the flavors and paired so well that I am always impressed with the rolls both aesthetically and orally. It's what you would expect for sushi prices, and you get what you pay for. I especially come back for the house roll, which is mainly banana and shrimp tempura. Don't knock it until you try it!
(5)
Victoria M.
Definitely the best sushi I've had in a long long time. Very fresh fish, fast service, and the hibachi was way better than most. I had the Negimaki, which was delicious, and chicken hibachi. Generous portions and all fresh ingredients. The pain in the ass roll was spicy but not too hot, could be hotter for my taste. It was my first time, 4.5 stars, if it's consistently this good would bump to 5 stars. Parking is not ideal, but it's a pretty fast meal so people are coming and going.

This place is pretty much as good as it gets when it comes to sushi in the area. I love every appetizer I ordered (scallops, money bags and kani salad) in addition to the rolls (make sure you try the Pain in the Ass). While the staff is small (1 waitress & 2 chefs) the service was great. The restaurant is pretty small and you wouldn't think much of it from the outside, but don't let that stop you from going in. If I remember correctly there are about 6 tables and 2 larger booths for groups. If you're as unlucky as me to get a group of ignorant, drunk women (who talk on their speakerphone in restaurants) come in to eat while you're there you'll notice how the restaurant can become a little hectic and noisy. I can't wait to go back.
(5)
Aarron W.
The food here is amazing. Look at the photos and you can see examples of the amazing food. What really turned me on was the customer service. I'm new around this area and the owner could tell I was a little lost walking in. Told him I had a long day work and I need something good, after a few questions to me he got me the Kani salad and the "pain in the ass" roll. Both were amazing!!!! I couldn't really tell you what's in the dishes, quite frankly it was all amazing. I can't wait to go back and try other items!

Came here for lunch on Black Friday. It was pretty empty but the staff was super nice. the place is small but quaint. Philadelphia roll was delicious. Nice and fresh and the roll size was not small at all. Came with 8 pieces. The miso soup was eh. The seaweed in it was hard to chew and the tofu in it is really tiny. Also when you let miso soup stand for a bit a separation in it happens. This one didn't separate. The miso soup could be perfected a lot better. Oh and side note: they use the cheapest chop sticks that a restaurant could buy. You break them apart and a cloud of wood dust appears and then there are a lot of pieces sticking out. Plus they are very super thin. Would come back though because they have really good reviews.

Was on my home from the Jersey shore with my son and found this little gem. Due to the ratings I went in. Glad we did the sushi was great and fresh. Loved the sandwich sushi! Ask June our waitress/owner what's the most popular chef special and go with it.

I am a self-proclaimed Chirashi gal, but a night out with my best Central Jersey friend always involves fancy-pants sushi rolls and good wine. She's ordered take-out from Yoshi in the past but never dined in. We decided to give it a go on Saturday night. Seaweed salad and green salad to start...standard fare. We split the Orange Dragon Roll, the Philadelphia Roll, the Pain in the Ass Roll (we've been called this by our moms for the better part of our lives, so ordering this roll seemed appropriate), and the Red Dragon Roll. The rolls were huge and delicious. All were 8 pieces (or more). I enjoyed every tempura/crunch/avocado/cream cheese fancy-pants minute of it. The restaurant was about half full when we arrived but there were a lot of people coming in to pick up to-go orders. The owner visited our table to ensure that everything was to our liking, which was appreciated. You can park in the commuter/train parking lot across the street on the weekends, which was very helpful since there is very limited parking on this side street. Easily missed due to their location but well worth a visit. Woodbridge, you never do me dirty. Two thumbs up!

Rachel S.
Yoshi is my favorite restaurant in Woodbridge! My husband and I have eaten at or ordered in from here about 10 times in the few months that we've lived here. The spicy tuna roll is my favorite, the sashimi is always very fresh and tasty and the hibachi is really good too!

Al B.
Good food here, the hibachi is great. I always get carry out from here couple times a month and never am disappointed. Great food and service.

Adele P.
Good, not great. Service was good because we were the only ones there, but it was rushed. It seemed odd that we were rushed when we were there early (before 5) and no one else was there. They also managed to serve us the wrong rolls and we all had to switch, a problem when one party member has a severe allergy. I loved the barbecue squid appetizer, I think that was my favorite part of the meal. The sushi rolls were good but not any better than some of my other favorite haunts. My two companions ordered the seaweed salad, and it didn't look all that appealing to me, so I'm glad I passed on that. I had the Jersey roll. Good, but their rolls are small. One friend had the Pain in the Ass roll and a sweet potato roll, the other friend had a roll whose name I didn't catch, but it had scallops on top. She also had a spicy tuna roll with it. None of us left feeling overly satisfied, I'll be honest. We wound up going elsewhere for coffee and conversation after dinner. I also thought that 77.00 + was high for what we received. A decent choice if you're in Woodbridge but not spectacular.

I am so happy I saved my 5 star review at a sushi place to give it to these guys. Honestly, this may have been the best sushi I've ever had. Specialty rolls run about $12-14, but they have smaller rolls for $8. The beef negemaki appetizer was incredible. My wife got the money bags, and it was honestly the best crab rangoon I've ever tasted. The fish was fresh, and not covered in spicy mayo to hide the quality. My favorite part, the chef advised me they had fresh toro. I love toro, and I hate when someone charges me $8/piece for inedible frozen toro. This was perfectly fatty, melt in your mouth fish. The location of this place is weird. It's off a beautiful main street in Woodbridge, but tucked in a dark corner with no parking and a train station across the street. Also, tea was served in a glass soda cup. After you get past those 2 small minor inconveniences, head over here and prepare to have your mind blown.

Sushi is ok, average. The Kani salad has way too much fried bits, with barely any kani. It is also too salty for our taste
(3)
Helena Q.
OK sums it up. I went with a group of 5, and the total (inc tip) ended up being 20$/each. We got a decent mix of regular and special rolls, and ended up with quite a lot of food. I really did not enjoy the spicy mayo -- the resulting rolls weren't tasty at all. I'm also generally not a fan of crunch, which they made liberal use of. However, their salmon was really spectacular, and their avocado perfectly ripe. I felt that they were the perfect amount of busy: we weren't like, alone in there, but we also didn't have to wait to be seated or to order.

Good prices for rolls so you can get a good variety. However the rolls themselves are quite small so the cost is average to other places I'm the area. The sushi was good and there was a nice selection of apps and salads to add variety to the meal. Overall we would come back if we were in the area and in search of sushi but we wouldn't go out of the way to come here.

Gerrianne M.
What an undiscovered gem! Located around the corner from Main Street, it's easily forgotten or uncharted. I'm so glad my friend recommended this restaurant after reading a review on yelp. I went here for a dinner with my girl friends, without husbands and kids. It was a perfect fit for our evening, we arrived early, seated by 6:00pm and were the only ones there. Needless to say, the staff was extremely attentive. Our food arrived pretty quickly after we ordered it, which was a surprise, but nothing to complain about. The one word I can use to describe the food is.... FRESH!! We ordered sushi, so if you are a sushi fan, this is your place! The menu had a robust selection of speciality rolls from "green hulk roll" to "pain in the ass roll" to "Mexican roll" and "jersey roll". I ordered the "spicy girl roll" which was excellent! Again, fresh would be the best adjective to describe it. You could also order sushi a la carte, which is what my friends ordered. The menu also had a selection of hibachi items, which smelled delicious!! We almost went for round 2 and ordered that! For desert we ordered the homemade dessert plate, which was dessert sushi! Incredible! It was rice rolled into sushi shape with a sweet coating, with mango and fried banana inside, and mochi idea cream and chocolate sauce to top it off! It sounds a little strange but it was delicious! The restaurant got more crowded but didn't seem to have a long wait, plus there were many people coming in and out for take out meals. The staff was very cool about my friends and I just sitting at our table, talking until the restaurant closed around 10:45pm. We weren't the last ones to leave either! What a great night!!!! PS- it is Byob

Anastasiya F.
I've never eaten inside, but I'm gotten take-out many times. Service is friendly and very quick, the sushi is good and the price is more than fair. The only complaint I have is that Philadelphia rolls taste really strange every time. It just doesn't taste like smoked salmon and creamcheese that I usually love so much. Doesn't taste bad, but totally doesn't satisfy that smoked salmon craving, so I would avoid that particular roll. Everything else is great. I recommend the miso soup, the perfect balance of salty and savory.

Dieter V.
Amazingly fresh sushi with friendly, prompt service for a reasonable price. This place focuses on the food which is stellar so don't expect an ornate ambiance. I will be returning to share this experience with friends.
Best sushi place in the Woodbridge Area. Small but cozy! Friendly staff. Awesome food. Always fresh & delicious! It's also a BYOB place. Anything I had its great. My favorites are the Tuna Pizza, kani Salad & sushi sandwich! Yum!

I have to review Yoshi because: 1. I love the owners Del and Jun. 2. I absolutely love the creativity, quality and specifically the FRESHNESS of the food. 3. I could go on and on all day about the TNT roll. (Not on the menu - ask for it and I promise you will be thrilled.) This is a family run place and if you go in a few times you'll feel like a part of it. Small inside but cozy, parkings a little tight, but after you try the food you'll forget all of that. I don't know how they keep the fish as fresh as they do. I am completely spoiled by Yoshi when I'm forced to go anywhere else! Especially all the non-creative generic Japanese joints that litter every other town with the same boring rolls. This place is an absolute gem and a must try! Stop in, it's right next door to the Woodbridge Train Station!

Ordered some food here for the first time today, 5 sushi rolls to be exact, and it was good. I like how they create a nice physical anomaly of balance between the rice and what's actually inside the rolls, other sushi restaurants sometimes over pack the rolls with way too much rice, but here they've got it just right and its good.
(5)
Matt F.
Your search for deliciously fresh sushi will end at Yoshi . The owners Jun and Del take pride in their food and it shows. We haven't had a roll that we haven't enjoyed . My wife isn't a big fan of tobiko ( fish eggs) so we get our rolls without it and if we forget they always remember for us . Don't be sucked in by the half price sushi spot by Toys R Us. I'll glad pay full price for the freshest sushi around!

Roy M.
Small place, but nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. FYI, it's BYOB. They have several "combos" for rolls you can order. I grabbed one that was "1 special and 2 standard" for about $15- was much more than I could eat. Spider rolls (soft shell crab) were fantastic. I order them at almost every sushi place I go to, and these were up there. I also got spicy tuna, which were great, and California which is usually just a safe bet. One of the chefs (I think he may have been a manager) came out to chat with us. He asked how we found the place, and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our food. I told him that all three of us were thrilled, and that we'd write him a review on Yelp. The fact that he cared so much was also a big plus in my book. I'll certainly go back.

Matthew M.
Hidden gem in the heart of Woodbridge. I don't understand why Yoshi doesn't have lines around the block; but I am awful glad they don't. The fish is always remarkably fresh; the rolls are exquisite and masterful. Not in the mood for sushi or some rolls, try their teriyaki or hibachi. AMAZING! My wife and I along with close friends try to dine there as often as possible as the food NEVER disappoints.

Yoshi is really good but not great. They are a bit overpriced and the rolls are pretty small i size. I have spent around $45 here before for two people and we left still kind of hungry. Lunch specials are good but nothing to rave about. If you go I do recommend getting the crazy dynamite roll.

I'm in town on business and found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Probably the best sushi rolls I've had in years. Super fresh fish and really imaginative rolls. I'll be back for sure!

This is my absolute favorite sushi around, and I've pretty much tried them all. Always fresh and super delicious! I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. The prices are great and the owners are very welcoming and really appreciate their regulars. Definitely try this place if you're in the area. Sidenote, It's tiny inside so not ideal for large groups.

Great food and great service! Won't get Japanese anywhere else since I have found Yoshi! My wife and I have been going there for about two years now and have not found anywhere else with fresher fish. The menu is both inventive and traditional with the costs being very reasonable considering the quality of the food. The service is exceptional and the owners are very friendly and always come around to all the tables to make sure everyone is enjoying their meal. We have taken friends here also and they agree. Yoshi is BYOB, which I personally prefer.

nice little place....the rolls were excellent and the sushi was also good (though the yellow tail did not seem as fresh as the others)....they also have "cooked" foods such as hibachi which smelled very good but we did not try on this visit.... staff was also very friendly and we will be back soon...

Delicious sushi, great soups and salads. Yoshi has the best fried rice I've ever had! This restaurant is tiny so it's not for large groups but it's neat and clean and you can always get take out.

Great sushi, everything tasty fresh, the place is very niceto seat and eat in for a friday night or even a date. Love their platter decorations so cute. The sushi and sashimi are great, been there many times, and also ordered over the phone many times. Their party train are very good and inexpensive totally worth.

Not only the best sushi place in town. But probably one of the best ever been too. All my friends and family that come down here also want to go! Favorites; spicy Kani salad, Yankee roll, crazy dynamite roll and romantic roll!

Stopped here for a sushi dinner on a trip from Vermont to Baltimore - not far off the NJ turnpike, and had a great rating. Rightly so! Just a little place on a side road, with warm attentive service and first rate sushi, at very reasonable prices. Special note of the "house roll" which has shrimp tempura and banana (!) with chopped spicy tuna on top - this is one of the best rolls I've had anywhere, and not overwrought. Recommended!

This is our favorite sushi place in the area!!! We order or eat here at least once a week. Food is always fresh, always consistent, and always delicious!!! The service is so friendly and already know what we like to order ... "Two Tuna salads, one with crunchy and one without" haha we love this place.

I only tried Kani salad and shrimp hibachi at this place. The only thing I like the most is just the shrimp. My fried rice is even better than theirs. Since many people recommend Kani said I tried it. However I don't like it at all. Sure It is different from other Kani sale. However It has all cheap unhealthy crispy chips inside with just little crab steak meat. You might feel tasty for first several bites. The more you have the more you feel sick of the oiliness. Besides, that crispy chips is much cheaper than crab stick. But they charge way much more than Kani salad in other restaurant. In a word, I think the food quality here does not match their price. I don't know why this place can get 4.5 star.
(3)Zeudi V.
Came here thanks to a friend's recommendation and boy am I glad I did. The sushi was truly delicious and the service was great as well. For an appetizer the hubby and I went with the Tuna Combo Roll (YUM!). The main course consisted of the Pain in the Ass roll and the Sleeping Beauty...both rolls were super tasty and of good size. Can't wait to go back!
(4)Kate L.
A diamond in the rough. Fantastic and reliably good. I just wish they were open on Sunday. (5/19/12 ETA: Now they are open 7 days a week!) The owner always remembers what we have had and that we prefer brown rice...even if I forget to ask for it, he will come over and ask if we meant to ask for it. You don't get that kind of service much more.
(5)Jodie R.
This place is awesome! My family goes there quite often and we always make the trip when we are in town. Small and family-friendly with fresh ingredients and great rolls and dishes!

I'm glad I found this place. The number of sushi places that I would eat at in this area is little to none. I saw this place on Yelp and it had a lot of good reviews so I figured I'd give it a shot. At first glance the location and exterior is nothing to write home about. It's right across the street from the train station. Once you go in you'll find yourself in some cramped quarters as well. The tables and the rugs are kind of worn out. I'm sure this place can be uncomfortable to eat in once it gets packed. For that reason I knocked it down to 3 stars. On the filp side, the sushi was good. It's nothing like eating at Oyako Tso or Hotoke, but for a local sushi dive, it's good. I had rock shrimp as an appetizer that had an amazing glaze on them, followed by a spicy shrimp roll and a philadelphia roll. It's a BYOB but for some reason they have a bunch of bottles of liquor lined up behind the sushi bar. The bill came out to about 50 bucks for 2 people. 5 rolls, and an appetizer. Not a bad price in my opinion, but there are other sushi restaurants that offer better rolls for the same price. Overall this is a great location if you are local and don't feel like driving just to have a couple of rolls. It's not amazing, and it's definitely not bad. It's just good. A gem for locals. Go here.
(3)Angelo C.
One of the better sushi places in NJ, period. This place is a gem and one of my favourites.
(4)Meesha R.
Really good sushi. Reasonably priced ... especially the lunch menu. The server keeps refilling the hot tea which is great during the winters. Ordered the Sushi & Sashimi Lunch special (about $12) and it had nice cuts of fish and was quite filling.
(4)Mike G.
Yoshi is my favorite sushi place. The food is great and the service is friendly. If there is something that you like, but don't see it on the menu they are willing to make it for you as long as you can tell them what goes in it. The TNT roll is one of my favorites.
(5)krista p.
My bf and I have tried different sushi places around New Jersey and we both agreed this is the best Sushi place around! The food is always fresh and always good. Everything I have ordered on the menu is always delicious. We no longer go to any other place but Yoshi!
(5)Kristen M.
Best place for sushi in the Woodbridge area. Came here on a friend's recommendation, and I never looked back. Also, I recommended it to another friend, and she loved it too. Firstly, the sushi is always fresh and delicious. They have a nice selection and enough items on the menu for the sushi shy (cooked choices.) The prices are reasonable. It's a BYOB, so I love to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with my sushi. The staff are friendly, too.
(4)Carlos K.
I came in on an cold night and sat at the sushi bar. I had the sashimi for 1 which was excellent and a good value. The ambience was nice although the restaurant is fairly small. The service was good. My only complaint was about the miso soup which was below average. I admit I am fairly picky with miso as I have tried so many in my hometown of Los Angeles; however, it's just kind of bland. I would go back to this restaurant though. I found parking in the small, icy lot in back, but I would guess that parking can be an issue sometimes since it's near the station - don't know for sure though.
(4)Jade W.
Yoshi is THE best sushi in Woodbridge hands down. The staff are super friendly and remember their regulars. I used to work here before they took over and I have to say we always said that any business there was under a curse and destined to fail but Yoshi has broken this curse!
(5)Amanda B.
I must eat here at least 2x a week. The best sushi around! Try the spicy shrimp roll... You will not be disappointed!! Awesome service, food and prices!
(5)Rich P.
The food was delicious. The place is not fancy, I would not bring a first date here but, other than that I give it all good grades.
(4)David P.
As a Asian aficionado for whatever weird reason I've never indulged in sushi. I've been to tons of sushi restaurants & would check it out here & there, but it never became a thing for me until I went to Yoshi. For the longest time a student at the school I work at always brought it up & said we should go, etc. I put it off until one day a coworker wanted to try it out. I went along & then proceeded to be lead into the keymasters to my gatekeeper of Asian food. Sushi is now my gateway Asian food. Since that day I'm there weekly & always make the effort to maintain that even if the funds aren't quite there just because it's that damn good. I've really dived into the menu & I can honestly say that there is no bad item on the menu. Though I strongly reccomend the Chef's Specialty rolls. Plus with names like The Pain In The Ass Roll, The Green Hulk, & The Devil's Roll (extremely hot) that not only have cool names but also live up to the name is a rarity (for me) with sushi joints. Tucked away on Pearl St right in front of the train station it really is a pearl of a find. It looks like every other Asian restaurant but appearances are deceiving this place is a paradise for sushi lovers & Asian foodies alike. I try to bring as many friends & family to this place as possible. Whether they hate Asian food, "don't get it," or are confused they all come out the same...Begging for more. If you want Sushi this is the ONLY choice.
(5)Victor N.
Very good sushi place. Small and cozy. I like it. Rolls are good. Prices are nice. I would go again.
(4)Cristina A.
Best sushi in the area...their spicy rolls are excellent. We usually do takeout at least every other week. It's a small place but the quality and taste of their food is amazing. Definitely try their money bags! They are a must! Will never order sushi from anywhere else again!
(5)Gina Marie G.
Amazing. Love the spicy kani salad, sushi sandwich, all their specialty rolls and the money bags for dessert were fantastic. LOVE!
(5)Rosalie M.
I've been to many many sushi places before, and have yet to find one as good as Yoshi. Not only are the people there incredibly friendly, but the sushi is exceptionally well-made. I'm very particular about sushi because it can sometimes taste too fishy, or the rice can feel as if it's been sitting in water too long. And yet, I have never been disappointed with Yoshi...ever. My boyfriend and I go so often that they can take our order without having to ask us. I couldn't recommend a better restaurant.
(5)Tracie S.
Loves it! Tiny restaurant near the train. A hidden treasure of woodbridge.
(5)Nicole S.
This small restaurant is off the beaten path but has some excellent sushi. Try the money bags for an appetizer...and the kani salad is really delicious!
(5)Christine D.
I HAVE to eat here at least once a week or else I get "Yoshi Cravings". This place is has the best sushi and greatest service - I'm lucky that I can step off of the train and walk straight into Yoshi's. The stuff I love: Beef Negomaki Green Salad (extra dressing!) Refreshment Roll (Tuna, Salmon, Avocado Soy Paper Topped w/ Masago, Mango) 33b (Three rolls - Spicy Tuna, Spicy Yellowtail, Spicy Salmon) 35b (Three rolls - Tuna Avocado, Salmon Cucumber, Green Dragon) Veggie Fried Rice (take half home and scramble it with some eggs the next morning!)
(5)Isabella B.
Best Sushi in NJ I could eat the: Spicy Kani Salad, Sushi Sandwich, House Roll and MoneyBags everyday. The salad is unlike anything I have ever had. What an amazing combination of flavors. The sushi sandwich has spicy tuna and avocado with an incredible dipping sauce to die for. The house roll is shrimp tempura with banana and spicy tuna on the top. Another incredible creation. The money bags are cream cheese, scallions and I think crab meat in a tempura type batter. Yum! The nicest people run this place. I only wish they were closer to my house. Better than any sushi I've ever had in NYC. Amazing! Love you Yoshi!
(5)Medha G.
Ordered a sushi lunch.... California roll was good but the raw fish had skin on it... I had to throw them off... Miso soup and salad was ok
(3)vikki d.
I LOVE this place!!! The seafood is so fresh and clean tasting like it just jumped out of the ocean! This is a very friendly, clean, casual place for dining. My favorites are the Fiery Pheonix Roll (spicy goodness), Crazy Dynamite Roll (with tempura shrimp) , Yimi Roll (with nice crunchy apple slivers) , House Roll (with banana, unusual and really good!) and the fish tacos (cold fresh fish with crunchy fried wonton wrapper "taco"), but...I have been eating here so often that lately I eat the same things all the time because when I find a favorite I tend to stick to it and don't stray much. I've had the owner, Del, pick out some new dishes for me to try and they are all fabulous! Now when I go there, I try different things all the time. Some recent hits have been the Devils Roll (fish with fresh jalapeno slice paired with avacado makes a nice hot peppery/crisp vs cool creamy avacado combination) , Green Dragon Roll (my friend's favorite) , and sea urchin. So I can say without hesitation that most likely anything you find on the menu will be a "hit". BYOB is a plus as it keeps your dinner bill very reasonable. We all know what a mark-up those bottles can be at a restaurant. Some people say that it's not really great for a large crowd but I have seen the staff throw a few tables together on occassion that they seated a party of 10 comfortably, and I'm guessing that if you have a larger party, they could hook you up as long as you gave them some advance notice. For people who aren't so keen on raw fish, I've seen many customers enjoy the teriyakis and hibachi dishes of cooked meats that looked and smelled really tasty. I have had a fish tempura dish with a mango salsa that was out of this world! Friendly staff and quick flawless service. Comfortable and casual dining atmosphere that has become a neighborhood loved establishment that is very welcoming and friendly to all who visit. Ample parking in their adjacent parking lot or on the street in front of the restaurant and,later in the day (after 6), plenty of parking at the train station just accross the street, though I've never had a need to park there myself. I wish I found this place years ago!
(5)Evan H.
Yoshi has the best, freshest sushi in NJ! I love salmon rolls and the yoshi special roll.. Ask for the Toro, yumm!! Great friendly service
(5)Nelinha S.
This past Sat I was in the mood for some Sushi. And Lo n Behold I found Yoshi here on yelp and the reviews were good. I said why not. So as soon as my husband got home I mentioned dinner at Yoshi. And so we headed North from North Brunswick. I, my husband and our little toddler girl in her carseat. The place is quiet small but that did not bother me. Decor is very straight fwd simple and that was fine by me. My husband on the other hand thought maybe the place could have a bit more decor hihihi...I thought really honey? LOL Drum rolls... I had sushi n sashimi for 1 spicy tuna roll option n my husband opted for a bento box. Dont know what he selected but the dumplings he had were so delicioys. We also had appetizers, squid and battered fried shimp. Loved the squid and my husband loved the sauce. He literally used the sauce to eat it w sushi. Almost fought the owner hihihi ( a very nice warm lady) when she tried to take the empty plate that only had the squid sauce. Our server also tried to take the plate away but my husband refused n eventually he scraped the sauce onto his plate. It was too funny. Funny coz when it happened both times he had his mouth full and could not talk lol. Overall I must say, I loved the experience we had. And we will Def go back. And hopefully when our baby girl (15 months) can eat sushi, she may try it and review it herself hihihi. The owner and her son were great hosts. Keep it up. Two thumbs up :-)
(4)Nury G.
Yoshi is a hidden gem in Woodbridge, NJ. Small, cozy and very tastefully decorated-- it's pretty amazing. I highly recommend their spicy Kani salad-- honestly like no other. I've ordered it in other restaurants and I always end up comparing because they never live up to the taste. Their specialty rolls are pretty good too. I love their mango cucumber roll, which has a perfect tangy flavor; their summer roll is great if you love a combination of a California roll with spicy crab on top. Their service is pretty awesome too. They're a family owned business and they're very warm and friendly. Their parking space is a little tight and they're located across the Woodbridge train station but I've never had a problem finding a slot. If you're in the area and have a craving for sushi, this is your best bet. They're also a BYOB so bring in your wine and enjoy!
(5)Jo D.
Literally the worst, rudest sushi restaurant masquerading as authentic sushi. The interior design is not authentic, and the attitude of people the remade me wish I was back in he military under fire from Iraqis, because frankly they at least had the common courtesy to give us warning shots whereas these jokers won't even hesitate taking your money while feeding you their crap, and not even pretend to be happy while doing it!
(1)James M.
First place I ever had sushi and it's a can't miss restaurant. Been here over 20 times and each time was perfect. My wife and I usually will get the green dragon roll and spicy tuna roll.
(5)Priya S.
Considering the fact that we had a group of 17 people and were loud and obnoxious with our sake bombs, they tolerated it all! Came here for my birthday dinner and brought a handle of sake, beer, and some rum. It's a pretty small restaurant so I'd say my group of 17 occupied half of it. They offered to heat up our sake and also served it to us in sake cups! That was very nice of them. My friend brought their own coke can, which i think was not allowed after looking at the waiters face but he let it slide by. Brownie points right there. The food was delicious. They have such a huge variety of sushi it was so hard to pick. After reading reviews, i had to get the house roll, which is probably now my favorite sushi ever. Who would've thought putting banana in sushi is actually good? Also got the dynamite roll. SO GOOD. It was spicy and crunchy and yummy! I liked their all day specials of 2 regular rolls and one special roll for 17 or 20 bucks. FYI they charge extra for spicy mayo. At the end of dinner, our waiter asked us if we wanted a group picture, which I didn't even think of at all. Thank you waiter! They made the food very quick, maybe cause they wanted us to get the hell out or because they were just really quick. But point is, I'd definitely come back for the house roll!
(5)Kevin P.
Best sushi I've been 2 in the area since living in Japan. Byob and the service is great
(5)Patricia C.
I would come here once weekly if NJ traffic wasn't the bane of my existence. The sushi is just so meticulously made with so much love and a understanding of delicious food that speaks to my soul. Ok, I'm getting a little excited just thinking about the last meal I had here. The rolls are so creative and the flavors and paired so well that I am always impressed with the rolls both aesthetically and orally. It's what you would expect for sushi prices, and you get what you pay for. I especially come back for the house roll, which is mainly banana and shrimp tempura. Don't knock it until you try it!
(5)Victoria M.
Definitely the best sushi I've had in a long long time. Very fresh fish, fast service, and the hibachi was way better than most. I had the Negimaki, which was delicious, and chicken hibachi. Generous portions and all fresh ingredients. The pain in the ass roll was spicy but not too hot, could be hotter for my taste. It was my first time, 4.5 stars, if it's consistently this good would bump to 5 stars. Parking is not ideal, but it's a pretty fast meal so people are coming and going.
(4)Behnam F.
Great food, really fresh. I have been going to this place for the past year and a half and really pleases with the food. Not all the staff are as friendly as I would expect, but it definitely gets FIVE stars!!
(5)Tom S.
Excellent find on our way home from Newark Airport. Detoured for dinner to avoid the traffic. We'll be back for sure!!
(5)Johnny A.
This place is pretty much as good as it gets when it comes to sushi in the area. I love every appetizer I ordered (scallops, money bags and kani salad) in addition to the rolls (make sure you try the Pain in the Ass). While the staff is small (1 waitress & 2 chefs) the service was great. The restaurant is pretty small and you wouldn't think much of it from the outside, but don't let that stop you from going in. If I remember correctly there are about 6 tables and 2 larger booths for groups. If you're as unlucky as me to get a group of ignorant, drunk women (who talk on their speakerphone in restaurants) come in to eat while you're there you'll notice how the restaurant can become a little hectic and noisy. I can't wait to go back.
(5)Aarron W.
The food here is amazing. Look at the photos and you can see examples of the amazing food. What really turned me on was the customer service. I'm new around this area and the owner could tell I was a little lost walking in. Told him I had a long day work and I need something good, after a few questions to me he got me the Kani salad and the "pain in the ass" roll. Both were amazing!!!! I couldn't really tell you what's in the dishes, quite frankly it was all amazing. I can't wait to go back and try other items!
(5)Gregorio L.
Amazing place to order from. Iv never had a problem from this place. I don't think I will ever have one. They are on point.
(5)Emery G.
Came here for lunch on Black Friday. It was pretty empty but the staff was super nice. the place is small but quaint. Philadelphia roll was delicious. Nice and fresh and the roll size was not small at all. Came with 8 pieces. The miso soup was eh. The seaweed in it was hard to chew and the tofu in it is really tiny. Also when you let miso soup stand for a bit a separation in it happens. This one didn't separate. The miso soup could be perfected a lot better. Oh and side note: they use the cheapest chop sticks that a restaurant could buy. You break them apart and a cloud of wood dust appears and then there are a lot of pieces sticking out. Plus they are very super thin. Would come back though because they have really good reviews.
(4)Sydney G.
Was on my home from the Jersey shore with my son and found this little gem. Due to the ratings I went in. Glad we did the sushi was great and fresh. Loved the sandwich sushi! Ask June our waitress/owner what's the most popular chef special and go with it.
(5)Lor A.
I am a self-proclaimed Chirashi gal, but a night out with my best Central Jersey friend always involves fancy-pants sushi rolls and good wine. She's ordered take-out from Yoshi in the past but never dined in. We decided to give it a go on Saturday night. Seaweed salad and green salad to start...standard fare. We split the Orange Dragon Roll, the Philadelphia Roll, the Pain in the Ass Roll (we've been called this by our moms for the better part of our lives, so ordering this roll seemed appropriate), and the Red Dragon Roll. The rolls were huge and delicious. All were 8 pieces (or more). I enjoyed every tempura/crunch/avocado/cream cheese fancy-pants minute of it. The restaurant was about half full when we arrived but there were a lot of people coming in to pick up to-go orders. The owner visited our table to ensure that everything was to our liking, which was appreciated. You can park in the commuter/train parking lot across the street on the weekends, which was very helpful since there is very limited parking on this side street. Easily missed due to their location but well worth a visit. Woodbridge, you never do me dirty. Two thumbs up!
(4)Rachel S.
Yoshi is my favorite restaurant in Woodbridge! My husband and I have eaten at or ordered in from here about 10 times in the few months that we've lived here. The spicy tuna roll is my favorite, the sashimi is always very fresh and tasty and the hibachi is really good too!
(5)Al B.
Good food here, the hibachi is great. I always get carry out from here couple times a month and never am disappointed. Great food and service.
(5)Adele P.
Good, not great. Service was good because we were the only ones there, but it was rushed. It seemed odd that we were rushed when we were there early (before 5) and no one else was there. They also managed to serve us the wrong rolls and we all had to switch, a problem when one party member has a severe allergy. I loved the barbecue squid appetizer, I think that was my favorite part of the meal. The sushi rolls were good but not any better than some of my other favorite haunts. My two companions ordered the seaweed salad, and it didn't look all that appealing to me, so I'm glad I passed on that. I had the Jersey roll. Good, but their rolls are small. One friend had the Pain in the Ass roll and a sweet potato roll, the other friend had a roll whose name I didn't catch, but it had scallops on top. She also had a spicy tuna roll with it. None of us left feeling overly satisfied, I'll be honest. We wound up going elsewhere for coffee and conversation after dinner. I also thought that 77.00 + was high for what we received. A decent choice if you're in Woodbridge but not spectacular.
(3)Melissa K.
Great food every time fresh clean every time and friendly owners and staff...a must try
(5)Ian N.
I am so happy I saved my 5 star review at a sushi place to give it to these guys. Honestly, this may have been the best sushi I've ever had. Specialty rolls run about $12-14, but they have smaller rolls for $8. The beef negemaki appetizer was incredible. My wife got the money bags, and it was honestly the best crab rangoon I've ever tasted. The fish was fresh, and not covered in spicy mayo to hide the quality. My favorite part, the chef advised me they had fresh toro. I love toro, and I hate when someone charges me $8/piece for inedible frozen toro. This was perfectly fatty, melt in your mouth fish. The location of this place is weird. It's off a beautiful main street in Woodbridge, but tucked in a dark corner with no parking and a train station across the street. Also, tea was served in a glass soda cup. After you get past those 2 small minor inconveniences, head over here and prepare to have your mind blown.
(5)Sally N.
Sushi is ok, average. The Kani salad has way too much fried bits, with barely any kani. It is also too salty for our taste
(3)Helena Q.
OK sums it up. I went with a group of 5, and the total (inc tip) ended up being 20$/each. We got a decent mix of regular and special rolls, and ended up with quite a lot of food. I really did not enjoy the spicy mayo -- the resulting rolls weren't tasty at all. I'm also generally not a fan of crunch, which they made liberal use of. However, their salmon was really spectacular, and their avocado perfectly ripe. I felt that they were the perfect amount of busy: we weren't like, alone in there, but we also didn't have to wait to be seated or to order.
(3)Jacky S.
Its tiny but totally worth it. Best sushi and hibachi. Great red bean icecream. Its just amazing employees always remeber us and our order lol and even question my bf when he goes alone. Lovely place and great specials
(5)Thea H.
Food was amazing. Money bag is a definite must have. The only downer was the no free refills on your drink. It's a small place, look nice and clean inside and out. Parking is limited, so park around the corner.
(4)Derek O.
Real ingredients (like crab), fresh made (tempura) and fresh fish (that melts in your mouth). So yeah - I would recommend.
(5)Angie S.
Went here with my friend, had the salmon teriyaki dinner box, shrimp teriyaki dinner box, a shrimp tempura roll, and a spicy tuna roll. It was very delicious! I especially liked the dressing they use in their salad . Will return for a good lunch :)
(5)Curtis Y.
One of the chiefs was open and talkative, turns out we both like the mackerel. Good quality fish!
(4)D.B. C.
They know what they're doing. YUM. Really enjoyed the smoked-salmon sushi a lot. (Sushi? Sounds litigious.)
(5)Nina M.
Good prices for rolls so you can get a good variety. However the rolls themselves are quite small so the cost is average to other places I'm the area. The sushi was good and there was a nice selection of apps and salads to add variety to the meal. Overall we would come back if we were in the area and in search of sushi but we wouldn't go out of the way to come here.
(3)Gerrianne M.
What an undiscovered gem! Located around the corner from Main Street, it's easily forgotten or uncharted. I'm so glad my friend recommended this restaurant after reading a review on yelp. I went here for a dinner with my girl friends, without husbands and kids. It was a perfect fit for our evening, we arrived early, seated by 6:00pm and were the only ones there. Needless to say, the staff was extremely attentive. Our food arrived pretty quickly after we ordered it, which was a surprise, but nothing to complain about. The one word I can use to describe the food is.... FRESH!! We ordered sushi, so if you are a sushi fan, this is your place! The menu had a robust selection of speciality rolls from "green hulk roll" to "pain in the ass roll" to "Mexican roll" and "jersey roll". I ordered the "spicy girl roll" which was excellent! Again, fresh would be the best adjective to describe it. You could also order sushi a la carte, which is what my friends ordered. The menu also had a selection of hibachi items, which smelled delicious!! We almost went for round 2 and ordered that! For desert we ordered the homemade dessert plate, which was dessert sushi! Incredible! It was rice rolled into sushi shape with a sweet coating, with mango and fried banana inside, and mochi idea cream and chocolate sauce to top it off! It sounds a little strange but it was delicious! The restaurant got more crowded but didn't seem to have a long wait, plus there were many people coming in and out for take out meals. The staff was very cool about my friends and I just sitting at our table, talking until the restaurant closed around 10:45pm. We weren't the last ones to leave either! What a great night!!!! PS- it is Byob

I've never eaten inside, but I'm gotten take-out many times. Service is friendly and very quick, the sushi is good and the price is more than fair. The only complaint I have is that Philadelphia rolls taste really strange every time. It just doesn't taste like smoked salmon and creamcheese that I usually love so much. Doesn't taste bad, but totally doesn't satisfy that smoked salmon craving, so I would avoid that particular roll. Everything else is great. I recommend the miso soup, the perfect balance of salty and savory.

Amazingly fresh sushi with friendly, prompt service for a reasonable price. This place focuses on the food which is stellar so don't expect an ornate ambiance. I will be returning to share this experience with friends.

Best sushi place in the Woodbridge Area. Small but cozy! Friendly staff. Awesome food. Always fresh & delicious! It's also a BYOB place. Anything I had its great. My favorites are the Tuna Pizza, kani Salad & sushi sandwich! Yum!

I have to review Yoshi because: 1. I love the owners Del and Jun. 2. I absolutely love the creativity, quality and specifically the FRESHNESS of the food. 3. I could go on and on all day about the TNT roll. (Not on the menu - ask for it and I promise you will be thrilled.) This is a family run place and if you go in a few times you'll feel like a part of it. Small inside but cozy, parkings a little tight, but after you try the food you'll forget all of that. I don't know how they keep the fish as fresh as they do. I am completely spoiled by Yoshi when I'm forced to go anywhere else! Especially all the non-creative generic Japanese joints that litter every other town with the same boring rolls. This place is an absolute gem and a must try! Stop in, it's right next door to the Woodbridge Train Station!

I love this place! The staff, food and environment are perfect! This is my second time here and I will definitely keep on coming!

Ordered some food here for the first time today, 5 sushi rolls to be exact, and it was good. I like how they create a nice physical anomaly of balance between the rice and what's actually inside the rolls, other sushi restaurants sometimes over pack the rolls with way too much rice, but here they've got it just right and its good.

Your search for deliciously fresh sushi will end at Yoshi . The owners Jun and Del take pride in their food and it shows. We haven't had a roll that we haven't enjoyed . My wife isn't a big fan of tobiko ( fish eggs) so we get our rolls without it and if we forget they always remember for us . Don't be sucked in by the half price sushi spot by Toys R Us. I'll glad pay full price for the freshest sushi around!

Small place, but nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. FYI, it's BYOB. They have several "combos" for rolls you can order. I grabbed one that was "1 special and 2 standard" for about $15- was much more than I could eat. Spider rolls (soft shell crab) were fantastic. I order them at almost every sushi place I go to, and these were up there. I also got spicy tuna, which were great, and California which is usually just a safe bet. One of the chefs (I think he may have been a manager) came out to chat with us. He asked how we found the place, and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our food. I told him that all three of us were thrilled, and that we'd write him a review on Yelp. The fact that he cared so much was also a big plus in my book. I'll certainly go back.

Hidden gem in the heart of Woodbridge. I don't understand why Yoshi doesn't have lines around the block; but I am awful glad they don't. The fish is always remarkably fresh; the rolls are exquisite and masterful. Not in the mood for sushi or some rolls, try their teriyaki or hibachi. AMAZING! My wife and I along with close friends try to dine there as often as possible as the food NEVER disappoints.

Yoshi is really good but not great. They are a bit overpriced and the rolls are pretty small i size. I have spent around $45 here before for two people and we left still kind of hungry. Lunch specials are good but nothing to rave about. If you go I do recommend getting the crazy dynamite roll.

I'm in town on business and found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Probably the best sushi rolls I've had in years. Super fresh fish and really imaginative rolls. I'll be back for sure!

Great food. Great service. I wish there were a few more options, but overall, a great experience.

This is my absolute favorite sushi around, and I've pretty much tried them all. Always fresh and super delicious! I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad meal. The prices are great and the owners are very welcoming and really appreciate their regulars. Definitely try this place if you're in the area. Sidenote, It's tiny inside so not ideal for large groups.

Great food and great service! Won't get Japanese anywhere else since I have found Yoshi! My wife and I have been going there for about two years now and have not found anywhere else with fresher fish. The menu is both inventive and traditional with the costs being very reasonable considering the quality of the food. The service is exceptional and the owners are very friendly and always come around to all the tables to make sure everyone is enjoying their meal. We have taken friends here also and they agree. Yoshi is BYOB, which I personally prefer.

nice little place....the rolls were excellent and the sushi was also good (though the yellow tail did not seem as fresh as the others)....they also have "cooked" foods such as hibachi which smelled very good but we did not try on this visit.... staff was also very friendly and we will be back soon...

Delicious sushi, great soups and salads. Yoshi has the best fried rice I've ever had! This restaurant is tiny so it's not for large groups but it's neat and clean and you can always get take out.

Great sushi, everything tasty fresh, the place is very niceto seat and eat in for a friday night or even a date. Love their platter decorations so cute. The sushi and sashimi are great, been there many times, and also ordered over the phone many times. Their party train are very good and inexpensive totally worth.
(5)Andrew D.
Not only the best sushi place in town. But probably one of the best ever been too. All my friends and family that come down here also want to go! Favorites; spicy Kani salad, Yankee roll, crazy dynamite roll and romantic roll!

Stopped here for a sushi dinner on a trip from Vermont to Baltimore - not far off the NJ turnpike, and had a great rating. Rightly so! Just a little place on a side road, with warm attentive service and first rate sushi, at very reasonable prices. Special note of the "house roll" which has shrimp tempura and banana (!) with chopped spicy tuna on top - this is one of the best rolls I've had anywhere, and not overwrought. Recommended!
(5)Asia S.
This is our favorite sushi place in the area!!! We order or eat here at least once a week. Food is always fresh, always consistent, and always delicious!!! The service is so friendly and already know what we like to order ... "Two Tuna salads, one with crunchy and one without" haha we love this place.
