It was rather expensive dinner option for me. Expect to pay at least 20$ per person or 40$ for two. Service is good. Ordered chicken mango entry (kitchen fusion) and wasn't happy with it. It was quite unconventional taste for japanisr place (next if I want replica of thai food I'd better go to thai place). I'd notice that meal was freshly cooked, so minus is just for weird taste.

This place is pretty decent. The food is always good, the staff is always friendly, and they have a small koi pond in the front to entertain my daughter :)

It feels like this place receives less business than any other restaurant on route 2. When there is a 1 hour wait at all the major chains...rest assured you can get in here. Recently came here as a Friday night back-up. They attempted to serve my toddler sour/curdled milk.....so not cool. They were apologetic and offered him a free fresh milk. The food was okay....nothing amazing. For three adults and a baby the bill hit 150. When we left, I felt like we had done them a favor by dining there. Probably wont be returning.

Have gone a number of times since and it is always awesome! The staff are awesome and remember you and your usual. I LOVE their scorpion bowls and my boyfriend gets a different sushi plate each time and he always loves it. And even when we don't sit at the sushi bar the sushi guys still send us a free sushi or sashimi plate. Can't say enough about this place!

I didnt like my sushi I was extremely sad that the place in Providence place provided better sushi than they did. I love getting the hibachi with steak and lobster. I do not like the dressing on their salad. I have tasted better (located in Baltimore) at hibachi places. They also dont give as big of portions that I am used to but I havent sat by the grills so maybe they provide more food there. I have been for lunch twice and was fast service was good staff was friendly. Have been for dinner once was the same. Have ordered takeout three times and once they got my order wrong and tried to convience me it is what I ordered when I get one of two things and that was NEITHER and once it was not good and that was the last I went.

Amazing! I go almost every week. Sushi is amazing and always very fresh and well presented. The most friendly hibachi chefs I've encountered, better than other local hibachi places. Just go it's awesome!!

First time in my life sitting at the grill. I will not spoil the show with too many details. I am not a spoiler. I enjoyed the show and was pleasantly surprised not to be covered with food from the prep. The chef, Mark, or mok, as we say in Rhode Island did a great job with good patter. Thanks to the waitress my party of ten was treated to service and quality food.

I've been here two or three times and always sit at the hibachi table. I think if we ever go back we may just sit at a regular table. While our food (scallops, steak, and shrimp) was well-cooked, the novelty and entertainment value have worn off and I find it so hard to converse at those tables! If you're looking to have sushi, the selection here is quite good and the sushi is fresh, though maybe slightly overpriced for what it is. The atmosphere is nice here and the service is always adequate. I will say, however, that the last couple of times I've been here it's always really cold in the restaurant! I imagine they have the heat turned down because the grills heat things up, but this past time it was a Sunday afternoon and there were only about 10 people in the whole restaurant with only 1 grill fired at a time. Turn up the heat!
My boyfriend and i like to try new sushi spots and I got the restaurant.com gift certificate for this place. The sushi was okay - i've had better at Kon and Haruki in Cranston. The atmosphere was not very welcoming either. The staff was okay, but a little cold. They have hibachi but didnt look at fun as places like Oki or Kon. I probably wont go back to this place.

Ate here again a week ago. Sat at the hibachi table this time so my kids could enjoy the experience. Waited for 10 minutes before we had to get up and get the manager to come take our drink order. Kids wouldn't eat the steak this time because it was too tough. My sushi was pretty small and you only get one piece per order. I don't think we're going back.

Yokohama is a wonderful hibachi restaurant for the whole family! The hibachi chefs are true artists and entertainers. They are attentive and friendly. The only reason I'm giving Yokohama a 4 star rating instead of a full 5 stars is due to the slow waitstaff. The waiters and waitresses occasionally refill drinks, but you have to ask them two and three times for something (like a pair of chopsticks, or a dish for soy sauce). The inattentive waitstaff are not to be confused with the wonderful hibachi chefs. Overall, Yokohama is a fun restaurant that has delicious food and and entertaining atmosphere.

Since Yokohama has come under the new management of Japan Bistro Group (also part owners of Kabuki in Wakefield,) the food has more than significantly improved - IT ROCKS! I am a sushi afficionado/addict, particularly in the summertime, but pretty much always. Since the new management took over last Spring, the food is not only fresh and wonderful, but also creative. The rolls are amazing and never fail to please. Whether I sit at the sushi bar for lunch, chatting up the friendly sushi chefs (one of whom encouraged me to taste a sample of one of his original and delicious sauces) or when my husband and I dine in a booth on a Saturday night, I always leave Yokohama happy, satisfied (no - stuffed) and always feel as if we really got great value, great food and a very pleasant experience, thanks to the polite, helpful, and friendly waiters. I just cannot say enough good things about Yokohama, especially since they're so close to my home. A five minute ride up Cowesett Road can result in satisfying my sushi cravings, which are fairly frequent. After moving to RI from the Washington DC area three years ago (where wonderful sushi restaurants abound) and discovering the dearth of sushi restaurants here, I was rather unhappy. Now that Yokohama and I are practically neighbors, I no longer have to go to the East Side or Wakefield (or even Cranston!) to have delicious, fresh sushi whenever the sushi's siren song comes calling my name!!. (I realize I have left out any discussion of the large hibachi section of the restaurant, as well as the rest of the also crave-worthy cooked food on the menu. I've tasted some from my husband's plate, and it too is wonderful. But as for me, I'm JUST THERE FOR THE SUSHI!!)

I wasn't expecting much from this strip mall sushi & hibachi restaurant.. but I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere & the service was very friendly. My husband and I got an appetizer of calamari & 6 rolls of sushi. The calamari was small- but came with various sauces which were very flavorful. The sushi was also good (not going to say it's my favorite sushi around, but better than many other locations). They all had great flavor and were fresh. I'd say, if your in the area and craving some good Japanese.. give it a try!

Stopped for sushi after dropping kid off at airport. Felt very welcomed. Sat at bar. Franky was warm and friendly and offered a taste of tuna lightly seared in a delicious sauce. Ordered the Crazy Friday with yellow tail asparagus topped with tuna salmon and assorted sauces. The fish was perfection as was the asparagus. My new airport-run sushi place!

JOHN H.
The food is pretty good here, if not a little over-presented. Not much of a value for what you get in our opinion. I mean $8.75 for a glass of average wine is a bit much. We may go back and try the Hibachi at some point -but we won't run.

Tried the sushi and sashimi for one combo tonight. The combo cost $23.00 and came with soup or salad. I was very very surprised. Excellent cut pieces of very thick sashimi, perfectly seasoned rice and a coherentness not found in any other RI sushi establishment. The salmon was unbelievable; very thick pieces of sashimi and a long thinner cut to top the nigiri. The salmon was not breaking apart at all which are signs that it is very fresh. The salmon also had a better than most fat pattern adding to the melt in your mouth properties. The other sashimi on the plate was 2 pieces of chutoro tuna (very rare on a combo plate), 2 pieces of very tasty yellow tail, and 2 pieces of red snapper. Overall a very satisfying helping of sashimi. The nigiri portion consisted of a piece of maguro tuna, which was very fresh and not at all dry. A piece of halibut of very fine quality.(No signs of stickiness which plagues many a sushi bar) A piece of very good white tuna. A piece of average cooked shrimp and that wonderful salmon nigiri. The combo also came with a Godzilla roll. The roll is a spicy tuna roll, with crunchy panko in the middle, topped with fresh slices of bright green avocado. I have eaten at every sushi place in RI and i have to say this one is the best. It is easily overlooked in a stop and shop plaza. Take the whole family as the prices are reasonable and the also have Hibachi and traditional Japanese food for the less adventurous.

I went there for the first time this week and it was great! The sushi was fresh and they were very nice. They had 3 sushi chef's working so our food came very quickly. They have GREAT special rolls that seem to appeal to all tastes. Yum!! They had seasonal (Halloween) decorations as well which was a nice touch! We did not get Hibachi but there were some families there that seemed to be having fun. I would definitely go back here again. If you are looking for a nice, local (Warwick) sushi restaurant, this is the place to go!

My dad and I went with a Groupon and sat at the sushi bar. He was kind of new to the whole sushi thing so we ordered one thing at a time to share so he could try new things. We started with the shushi sampler, then got an eel cucumber roll, a Godzilla roll, and a Rainbow roll. The sushi chefs also gave us a plate of tempura white fish on the house! Everything was delicious. Very fresh and beautifully presented. The service was also top notch. No waiting, but didn't feel rushed and everyone was very friendly.

I went with my girlfriend. We found the staff to be friendly, no issues there. The place was dead though, on a Sunday afternoon when other places had a decent crowd. We got California rolls for an appetizer, and the Tempora chicken for a meal, and a chicken tereyaki meal. About 2 hours later I had vicious diarhhrea, and 3 hours later my girlfriend had vicious diahhrea, and vomitting shortly thereafter. just our experience. We won't be returning. I think the low volume they have leads to some issues with food safety.

Went there once with a Date whom introduced me to it!!! We got seated immediately at Dinnertime at the Hibachi Grill. Our Cook was very prompt with our Meals as well with the Saki that he shot into our Mouths! LOL!! I'm not much of a Saki drinker, but was Adventurous!!! The Food was Great & Hot (I'm fussy about the temp. of my food, too). Out Chef was quite the Entertainer with his Knives!!! I will def. go back again with a New Date!!!:)

I purchased a groupon last week so we decided to check out the dining area food.I've had the hibachi a few times and very much enjoyed the entertainment part of it as well as the food...I also must say the hibachi prices are very reasonable.. This time we chose the regular menu and I was disappointed in the options as well as the prices.. We ordered the chicken tempura, pineapple shrimp in a wok and the general tso... Thank goodness we had a groupon or I would have felt even more ripped off.. The food wasn't bad ..but it just wasn't great..and the portions were mediocre.. I wouldn't return unless we were eating at the hibachi bar..

Went here on a Saturday with a groupon. The food was not great. My table was sticky...eww. I has a spicy salmon roll, it wasn't great but not terrible. My daughter had a bento box for kids, it was really bad. We ordered dessert at my daughter insistence..mistake. If the entree was bad the dessert was awful. I think they just pulled it out of the freezer and slapped it in a plate. Bottom line - not even worth the discount

I hate taking stars away because I know I used to love going here and haven't been in about a year. So, I went last night. First of all the chair spacing is REALLY cramped, we had to take one out to even get in our seats. We ordered our meals, all of us got something off the hibachi menu. Chef comes up does some spatula tricks and then proceeds to stand in front of us doing nothing other than cooking our food for the rest of the time. I expected a little more of a show. Or at least a smile. SO's sister got just vegetables and noodles and he waited until the end when he was giving everyone else their vegetables to give her anything. Basically we all had our food and she was just waiting. The food was OK. I don't like the fact that absolutely everything was drown in soy sauce. As horrible as the service was the last time I went to Oki was, the food is just much better there. SO pointed out that because the owners of Yokohama are Chinese and Oki are Japanese it wasn't really fair to compare the two, but, for me it all comes down to taste and Yoko just didn't make the cut this time.

My boyfriend and I went to this place for sushi back in March and it was great, but I didn't like it so much when I came back to try it again last week. They forgot one thing that we ordered, my boyfriend's sweet potato tempura roll was undercooked, my boston roll was just weird, and we both thought that the special $14 Yokohama roll was pretty disgusting. Unfortunately, we probably won't be going back. Wasabi on Bald Hill Road is a much better and cheaper option.

So I came for some lunch (because I am a lunch special kind of person) and it was great! I always like to try the gyoza at Japanese places because I love love love dumplings (whether it be gaozhi, gyoza, or mandu). And Yokohama's gyoza have to be one of my favorite! Besides scarfing down dumplings, I got some maki rolls: salmon and sweet potato. If you don't like fish and think "sushi" isn't for you, then you HAVE to try the sweet potato rolls! They are just so amazing (at any place.... usually). Wait staff are extremely nice, too. One even pulled the chair out for me! Who does that? Yokohama does! My tip for new Asian restaurant experiences is always go during lunch. Often times, Chinese/Japanese/Korean restaurants will have a lunch special and things will be sooo cheap. And if you are like me, I like cheap! haha. Well not "cheap" but affordable.

Went here on a Thursday evening by my self, not been here in a few few years. Not a great location in a Stop & Shop Center, never see a crowd here now I know why. Just OK. I sat at the bar, no one else was at the bar, very few in the place (not good). bartender friendly and helpful. ordered a beer and sashimi. Problem...the beer was not cold...the sashimi piecies were generous but just flavorful. The bartender said fresh fish came in on Tuesday and Thursday. Prices are ok but warm beer, not the best tasting sashimi, leaves me heading back to Haruki.

I received a gift card for Christmas and was optimistic about eating here. I ordered the veggie rolls and avocado rolls. They were not bad but not as good as I have had at other Japanese restaurants. I understand that vegetable sushi is not the 1# ordered item but I think you should consider doing the rolls inside out and adding a bit more to the filling. This is also based on the fact that I am a vegan so non vegans could totally enjoy the food more than I did because I am limited to the foods I can eat at a Japanese restaurant. I would come back if there for more veggie options. Maybe a tofu or pickled squash roll, or a nice vegetarian sushi combo. Inari is also great.... Thank you.

I love this place, they are very friendly! Food is always good. Generous portions, prices are reasonable. The only small critic I can give, if they are cooking seafood, do the vegetables first. I didn't order seafood but my vegetables had a slight fishy taste. Other than that they are great!!

The restaurant itself could use some cleaning and care. The bar has a poor betta fish swimming in gross water with a skin on the surface. The bar itself looks cluttered and messy. The koi pond has decorative items that have fallen over. The restaurant is one big open room that is just opened up, with no sense of ambiance. You wouldn't know this place hasn't been here since the 70's. The food is meh. I've ordered takeout twice. They at least know to separate your hot items from your cold items, (which is more than I can say for Haruki). The maki rolls fall apart. The sushi hasn't been glazed with anything. There's no flavor to anything. Even the spicy mayo isn't all that spicy. Something about most restaurants in RI, they don't taste everything they make, so the food is bland at best or inconsistent at worst.

M P.
An ok stop for Japanese food. Price is high but not out of line with most other Japanese restaurants. Often there is a Groupon available but make sure you read the fine print at the restaurant regarding Groupon restrictions. Bento boxes, fried rice, and sushi are all standard, nothing outstanding here. If not for the Groupon, other places that have sushi specials, etc. and more distinctive flavors would be a better choice.

After having a terrible experience at Kon Asian Bistro a couple nights before (see my review) my wife and myself felt we hadn't gotten rid of our Sushi urge, so we thought we would give Yokohama a try. The experience was great. The service was top notch, the waitress checked up on us, made sure our drinks were always full, and if we needed anything. We received our meals in the proper order. In fact, I would have been understanding if service was just ok because they were hosting a group of 50+ from China, but the staff handled everything perfectly. I deducted 1 star for the sauce they put on our hibachi, but other than that it was great. One last thing to add, they serve the best Rainbow Roll I have ever had, and it was huge!

We went with a groupon and did not do the hibachi so I can't comment about that. However, we were seated quickly, and the service was fast and friendly. Great at keeping water glass full with ice. My friend said the bartender made a great drink. I wish the food had lived up to the service. The pork gyoza (steamed) appetizer were all dry on the edges with a mediocre flavor. The miso soup was ok, but the salad was a bit wilted under the dressing. Also it was a mesclun mix and I prefer iceberg with the dressing. We both got the 3 rolls special for $11 that included the soup and salad. I got the shrimp tempura roll, the spicy shrimp roll and the Boston roll. They all came out on one plate nicely presented, but they were small rolls. The Boston roll had mayo on top - whhaatttt??????? I have had 100's of Boston rolls and never had mayo on it so be aware and ask for without if you order. It was the best of the 3 though. The shrimp tempura roll was mediocre- shrimp was small and overcooked, so more batter than shrimp and too much eel sauce. Disappointing. The spicy shrimp had no flavor and she told me it was just shrimp and nori and rice- but there was some dry crumbs or something in there and it made it tasteless- even with the ginger/wasabi/soy sauce. My friend who rarely eats rolls liked all of hers, and she got the shrimp tempura roll and Boston roll as well. So for me, I would not go back. It's not good enough as there are many others around. So I'll keep trying others in the area when I'm there. That's what Groupons are for, right?

Lisa C.
Yokohama has the best sushi in the Warwick, East Greenwich, North Kingstown area. Yes, the food is way better than Kon. They do not fill their rolls with extreme amounts of mayo and the rolls look as sushi should look. Hibachi and other meals on the menu are great as well. Ambience isn't as great as the others in the area, but wouldn't you rather have better food?
(5)
Mitch K.
They have the greatest deal going for lunch. Sign up for their VIP card and you can get their lunch specials (maybe it's the whole lunch menu) for 15% off. I usually get takeout once a week as I work right down the road, and for just a little over $8 you get soup, salad, and two rolls from about ten selections. The fish is fresh and it's a nice filling (and healthy depending on the rolls you get!) lunch.

Amy V.
Have been here on numerous occasions because not many sushi restaurants have gluten free options. Food is excellent. However, on our last visit, we had a groupon. Our waitress told us we couldn't use it for lunch and had to order off the dinner menu because they "changed the rules" a month ago. (The groupon was a birthday gift from September) The server was not overly pleasant, forgot our soups and was kind of argumentative. We spent more after the groupon was applied than we would have if we just ordered lunch. Honestly, I feel they should have honored the fine print on the grouon we had, not the "new rules"

Kristi L.
Yokohama is a decent place for sushi. Ingredients are always fresh, and the service is generally good. Plus this is one of the few places I know that carries TY-KU sake - amazing! However, I've found from a recent visit that this place is nearly impossible to enjoy in the hot summer months. You see, this location is pretty small, with roughtly 10 dining tables, and a handful of heat-pumping hibachis. If you choose to go with the hibachi, you'll likely be a bit toasty, but that kind of goes with the territory. That said, if you are like me and prefer to sit in the dining area for some sushi, you'll find yourself sweating your makis off! We had to ask the waitress repeatedly to see if anything could be done about the temperature in the restaurant and the best option we were given was to sit in front of an oscillating fan. I can't imagine those temps are good for raw fish...just sayin'.

I went with my SO with a groupon; sushi was pretty average, and we didn't do Hibachi but it looked fun. We were looking for a cheaper alternative to Kon in EG, but without a groupon, I don't think this place cuts it. Service was great and pretty fast, waitresses were kind. The Special Rolls are good, but overall average. I recommend the Godzilla roll, it seems to be their most popular one for a reason. The way they present the sushi is very nice, although sometimes it's a little warmer than it should be, and the rolls don't stick together as well as they should. It is fresh though. I definitely would not recommend the Boston roll, unless you like mayonnaise.

For a BBQ guy, they made an impression. So I am not a Japanese expert, but I like the Hibachi side of things. So last night the family and I stopped by Yokohama and sat in between the Hibachi and the Sushi bar. You get to choose from both sides. I had the Yaki Udon with chicken. It is a thick Udon noodle served in a soup (Yaki) with veg and the chicken. It is fantastic. We had a side of Chicken fried rice. This too was amazing. The wife had a Helterskelter roll & a Philadelphia roll. I am not a sushi/'roll' guy, but the Helterskelter was amazing. I would go back just for that. If you have kids, they offer a 'kids box.' It is on the pricey side, $10.00. But is is huge with a lot of top end stuff. Teriyaki beef, Edamame, to 6 small portions of California Roll and tempura tofu. It was all great. So again, I am a fan, but please take that for what it is worth. I am not a Sushi snob, not a Japanese fusion expert, but... everyone in the place looked really happy with what they were eating.

Andrew U.
I was a little concerned when I noticed this place was in a Stop and Shop plaza, but the sushi was slammin! They have a ton of creative rolls, and I definitely thought that the homemade spicy apple salsa was tantalizing. Lots of spicy combinations, which I really enjoyed. I feel like you can go to this place a few times without getting bored or eating the same thing twice. The staff was very attentive but not overbearing. They do have hibachi there but as others have said "It is always the same no matter where you go." Conclusion: Based on the atmosphere inside, this makes a great lunch spot. Fair warning: The sushi is different and some may not like how spicy most of the rolls were. Overall the quality of fish was fresh, tender, and melts in your mouth, which is how sushi should be. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a sushi place in Warwick.

This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants for rolls. The spicy bad girl is my absolute favorite roll of all time. The service is always fast and the prices are very reasonable. I have eaten here a number of times and find the food and service to be very consistent.

Alma C.
I've only been here once when it first opened, and it serves the standard American-style sushi rolls that everyone seems to expect in a sushi restaurant. If you expect a lot of sushi roll options with avocado, you'll like this place. If you are looking for an authentic Japanese sushi experience, you won't find it here (or anywhere close). The service is good, the restaurant is clean, and the sushi is about as good as you'll find in the area.

Sean P.
This place is a solid average. The food was good, the price was reasonable, the performance level of the chef was good, the ingredients were fresh. We started with vegetable tempura which was light and crisp (if less than plentiful), followed by the steak hibachi, which was well cooked and juicy. So why 3 stars? Because it is just that, good; not great, not excellent, but certainly not bad either.

Natalie T.
I hate to give any restaurant two stars, but I just couldn't bring myself to give Yokohama a third. The staff was very pleasant so I wanted to like them, but we were squashed in next to the bar, the menu was uninspired, and the food just wasn't very good. We went in December on a Groupon deal, and we were so unimpressed that we didn't even take home the leftovers - unheard of in my house since I usually eat half and bring the other half home. The sushi was mushy and disappointing, and other items were just as lackluster. Sorry, there are too many decent hibachi and sushi places around to even want to try again...

Great workday lunch spot. The garlic noodles are very good, but sometimes miss the mark. They have Hibachi with chefs in awesome hibachi hats. And a sweet lunch deal; for $8 you get 2 rolls miso soup and salad all of which are scrumptious. 10$ total for delicious & filling yet good for you? definitely 5 stars. .. caveat... for a lunch place, it gets 5 stars. on the dinner scale it's a bit less exciting ambiance-wise. Today I stayed true to my headline (on my profile here) and practically growled and bit my poor waiter when he tried to take away my last bite of sushi and three remaining pieces of lettuce in my salad before I was done. Then I literally licked the plate to get all the avocado and wasabi out of the experience I could.
(5)
Matt B.
The food was ok (though just ok, and the Hibachi chef wasn't nearly as good as they are at say Kon). However, my dissatisfaction is with their policies. I met some friends there and I planned to use a groupon ($15 for $30 worth of food). I intentionally ordered $30+ worth of food. When it came time to pay, the friends I was with received their bill first and paid using a groupon. When I then tried to pay my separate bill using my groupon, Yokohama would not honor my groupon because my friends had used a groupon. Wish I had known that I was going to be paying out of pocket since I intentionally ordered $30+ worth of food for the purpose of taking advantage of the promotion. Lesson learned I guess.

Yokohama, I don't care what anybody says about you, I think you are swell! Went here for my boyfriend's birthday and it was great! The food was awesome! We sat at a Hibachi table and the cook was a total ham! Back to the food. It was yummy. The best friend rice I have ever eaten. My friends tried the sushi and said it was tasty. Every one loved their meals and the drinks were good too! I left with a smile, full stomach and singed eyebrows. Overall, a great night and I will definitely return!

It was rather expensive dinner option for me. Expect to pay at least 20$ per person or 40$ for two. Service is good. Ordered chicken mango entry (kitchen fusion) and wasn't happy with it. It was quite unconventional taste for japanisr place (next if I want replica of thai food I'd better go to thai place). I'd notice that meal was freshly cooked, so minus is just for weird taste.

It feels like this place receives less business than any other restaurant on route 2. When there is a 1 hour wait at all the major chains...rest assured you can get in here. Recently came here as a Friday night back-up. They attempted to serve my toddler sour/curdled milk.....so not cool. They were apologetic and offered him a free fresh milk. The food was okay....nothing amazing. For three adults and a baby the bill hit 150. When we left, I felt like we had done them a favor by dining there. Probably wont be returning.

Have gone a number of times since and it is always awesome! The staff are awesome and remember you and your usual. I LOVE their scorpion bowls and my boyfriend gets a different sushi plate each time and he always loves it. And even when we don't sit at the sushi bar the sushi guys still send us a free sushi or sashimi plate. Can't say enough about this place!

I didnt like my sushi I was extremely sad that the place in Providence place provided better sushi than they did. I love getting the hibachi with steak and lobster. I do not like the dressing on their salad. I have tasted better (located in Baltimore) at hibachi places. They also dont give as big of portions that I am used to but I havent sat by the grills so maybe they provide more food there. I have been for lunch twice and was fast service was good staff was friendly. Have been for dinner once was the same. Have ordered takeout three times and once they got my order wrong and tried to convience me it is what I ordered when I get one of two things and that was NEITHER and once it was not good and that was the last I went.

we bought groupon and went there twice, tried their sushi and sashimi. both above average, good quality fish meat. great service. easy parking, overall good place to eat. will definately go back .
(4)Rich C.
Amazing! I go almost every week. Sushi is amazing and always very fresh and well presented. The most friendly hibachi chefs I've encountered, better than other local hibachi places. Just go it's awesome!!
(5)Tai Chi C.
First time in my life sitting at the grill. I will not spoil the show with too many details. I am not a spoiler. I enjoyed the show and was pleasantly surprised not to be covered with food from the prep. The chef, Mark, or mok, as we say in Rhode Island did a great job with good patter. Thanks to the waitress my party of ten was treated to service and quality food.
(4)Kristin C.
I've been here two or three times and always sit at the hibachi table. I think if we ever go back we may just sit at a regular table. While our food (scallops, steak, and shrimp) was well-cooked, the novelty and entertainment value have worn off and I find it so hard to converse at those tables! If you're looking to have sushi, the selection here is quite good and the sushi is fresh, though maybe slightly overpriced for what it is. The atmosphere is nice here and the service is always adequate. I will say, however, that the last couple of times I've been here it's always really cold in the restaurant! I imagine they have the heat turned down because the grills heat things up, but this past time it was a Sunday afternoon and there were only about 10 people in the whole restaurant with only 1 grill fired at a time. Turn up the heat!
(3)Daniel L.
Tried the hibachi tonight. . .chef was very entertaining without being overbearingly intrusive. If you don't like the entertainment involved with sitting at the hibachi tables, and you know it, don't sit there and instead sit in the regular restaurant/"just sushi" area. Food was quite good. About what was expected from a hibachi experience, but tasty nonetheless. It was nice that they included fried rice with the meal, instead of white then requiring an up-charge for fried. Fiancée had scallops and shrimp, while I had filet and shrimp, all cooked well and quite tasty. We think we like it better than Shogun, especially since it's a shorter drive. Scorpion bowl was excellent as well.
(4)Erica L.
My boyfriend and i like to try new sushi spots and I got the restaurant.com gift certificate for this place. The sushi was okay - i've had better at Kon and Haruki in Cranston. The atmosphere was not very welcoming either. The staff was okay, but a little cold. They have hibachi but didnt look at fun as places like Oki or Kon. I probably wont go back to this place.
(2)Scott C.
Ate here again a week ago. Sat at the hibachi table this time so my kids could enjoy the experience. Waited for 10 minutes before we had to get up and get the manager to come take our drink order. Kids wouldn't eat the steak this time because it was too tough. My sushi was pretty small and you only get one piece per order. I don't think we're going back.

Yokohama is a wonderful hibachi restaurant for the whole family! The hibachi chefs are true artists and entertainers. They are attentive and friendly. The only reason I'm giving Yokohama a 4 star rating instead of a full 5 stars is due to the slow waitstaff. The waiters and waitresses occasionally refill drinks, but you have to ask them two and three times for something (like a pair of chopsticks, or a dish for soy sauce). The inattentive waitstaff are not to be confused with the wonderful hibachi chefs. Overall, Yokohama is a fun restaurant that has delicious food and and entertaining atmosphere.
(4)Beverly S.
Since Yokohama has come under the new management of Japan Bistro Group (also part owners of Kabuki in Wakefield,) the food has more than significantly improved - IT ROCKS! I am a sushi afficionado/addict, particularly in the summertime, but pretty much always. Since the new management took over last Spring, the food is not only fresh and wonderful, but also creative. The rolls are amazing and never fail to please. Whether I sit at the sushi bar for lunch, chatting up the friendly sushi chefs (one of whom encouraged me to taste a sample of one of his original and delicious sauces) or when my husband and I dine in a booth on a Saturday night, I always leave Yokohama happy, satisfied (no - stuffed) and always feel as if we really got great value, great food and a very pleasant experience, thanks to the polite, helpful, and friendly waiters. I just cannot say enough good things about Yokohama, especially since they're so close to my home. A five minute ride up Cowesett Road can result in satisfying my sushi cravings, which are fairly frequent. After moving to RI from the Washington DC area three years ago (where wonderful sushi restaurants abound) and discovering the dearth of sushi restaurants here, I was rather unhappy. Now that Yokohama and I are practically neighbors, I no longer have to go to the East Side or Wakefield (or even Cranston!) to have delicious, fresh sushi whenever the sushi's siren song comes calling my name!!. (I realize I have left out any discussion of the large hibachi section of the restaurant, as well as the rest of the also crave-worthy cooked food on the menu. I've tasted some from my husband's plate, and it too is wonderful. But as for me, I'm JUST THERE FOR THE SUSHI!!)
(5)Stephanie K.
I wasn't expecting much from this strip mall sushi & hibachi restaurant.. but I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere & the service was very friendly. My husband and I got an appetizer of calamari & 6 rolls of sushi. The calamari was small- but came with various sauces which were very flavorful. The sushi was also good (not going to say it's my favorite sushi around, but better than many other locations). They all had great flavor and were fresh. I'd say, if your in the area and craving some good Japanese.. give it a try!
(4)Stephen D.
The hibachi was ok .. The servings were good .. The chef didn't put on much of a show... Sushi was fresh .. I've been here a couple of times.,. The rolls were a bit pricey.,, nothing caught my eye over here .... 3 stars it is
(3)Nina L.
Stopped for sushi after dropping kid off at airport. Felt very welcomed. Sat at bar. Franky was warm and friendly and offered a taste of tuna lightly seared in a delicious sauce. Ordered the Crazy Friday with yellow tail asparagus topped with tuna salmon and assorted sauces. The fish was perfection as was the asparagus. My new airport-run sushi place!
(3)JOHN H.
The food is pretty good here, if not a little over-presented. Not much of a value for what you get in our opinion. I mean $8.75 for a glass of average wine is a bit much. We may go back and try the Hibachi at some point -but we won't run.
(3)Anthony L.
Tried the sushi and sashimi for one combo tonight. The combo cost $23.00 and came with soup or salad. I was very very surprised. Excellent cut pieces of very thick sashimi, perfectly seasoned rice and a coherentness not found in any other RI sushi establishment. The salmon was unbelievable; very thick pieces of sashimi and a long thinner cut to top the nigiri. The salmon was not breaking apart at all which are signs that it is very fresh. The salmon also had a better than most fat pattern adding to the melt in your mouth properties. The other sashimi on the plate was 2 pieces of chutoro tuna (very rare on a combo plate), 2 pieces of very tasty yellow tail, and 2 pieces of red snapper. Overall a very satisfying helping of sashimi. The nigiri portion consisted of a piece of maguro tuna, which was very fresh and not at all dry. A piece of halibut of very fine quality.(No signs of stickiness which plagues many a sushi bar) A piece of very good white tuna. A piece of average cooked shrimp and that wonderful salmon nigiri. The combo also came with a Godzilla roll. The roll is a spicy tuna roll, with crunchy panko in the middle, topped with fresh slices of bright green avocado. I have eaten at every sushi place in RI and i have to say this one is the best. It is easily overlooked in a stop and shop plaza. Take the whole family as the prices are reasonable and the also have Hibachi and traditional Japanese food for the less adventurous.
(4)Amie N.
I went there for the first time this week and it was great! The sushi was fresh and they were very nice. They had 3 sushi chef's working so our food came very quickly. They have GREAT special rolls that seem to appeal to all tastes. Yum!! They had seasonal (Halloween) decorations as well which was a nice touch! We did not get Hibachi but there were some families there that seemed to be having fun. I would definitely go back here again. If you are looking for a nice, local (Warwick) sushi restaurant, this is the place to go!
(4)Stacy Q.
My dad and I went with a Groupon and sat at the sushi bar. He was kind of new to the whole sushi thing so we ordered one thing at a time to share so he could try new things. We started with the shushi sampler, then got an eel cucumber roll, a Godzilla roll, and a Rainbow roll. The sushi chefs also gave us a plate of tempura white fish on the house! Everything was delicious. Very fresh and beautifully presented. The service was also top notch. No waiting, but didn't feel rushed and everyone was very friendly.
(5)Sally P.
I went with my girlfriend. We found the staff to be friendly, no issues there. The place was dead though, on a Sunday afternoon when other places had a decent crowd. We got California rolls for an appetizer, and the Tempora chicken for a meal, and a chicken tereyaki meal. About 2 hours later I had vicious diarhhrea, and 3 hours later my girlfriend had vicious diahhrea, and vomitting shortly thereafter. just our experience. We won't be returning. I think the low volume they have leads to some issues with food safety.
(2)Rick B.
Went there once with a Date whom introduced me to it!!! We got seated immediately at Dinnertime at the Hibachi Grill. Our Cook was very prompt with our Meals as well with the Saki that he shot into our Mouths! LOL!! I'm not much of a Saki drinker, but was Adventurous!!! The Food was Great & Hot (I'm fussy about the temp. of my food, too). Out Chef was quite the Entertainer with his Knives!!! I will def. go back again with a New Date!!!:)
(5)Sarah A.
I purchased a groupon last week so we decided to check out the dining area food.I've had the hibachi a few times and very much enjoyed the entertainment part of it as well as the food...I also must say the hibachi prices are very reasonable.. This time we chose the regular menu and I was disappointed in the options as well as the prices.. We ordered the chicken tempura, pineapple shrimp in a wok and the general tso... Thank goodness we had a groupon or I would have felt even more ripped off.. The food wasn't bad ..but it just wasn't great..and the portions were mediocre.. I wouldn't return unless we were eating at the hibachi bar..
(3)Amber k.
Went here on a Saturday with a groupon. The food was not great. My table was sticky...eww. I has a spicy salmon roll, it wasn't great but not terrible. My daughter had a bento box for kids, it was really bad. We ordered dessert at my daughter insistence..mistake. If the entree was bad the dessert was awful. I think they just pulled it out of the freezer and slapped it in a plate. Bottom line - not even worth the discount
(2)chef k.
This place totally sucks...it's a filthy rat hole,,, they take no pride at all in this place,nobody want to work there and it shows,,, you have been warned,,,the other reviews make no sense,,, I saw one of the chefs sleeping behind a table, laying on a bunch of chairs,,,,great management ,,,
(1)Amanda P.
I hate taking stars away because I know I used to love going here and haven't been in about a year. So, I went last night. First of all the chair spacing is REALLY cramped, we had to take one out to even get in our seats. We ordered our meals, all of us got something off the hibachi menu. Chef comes up does some spatula tricks and then proceeds to stand in front of us doing nothing other than cooking our food for the rest of the time. I expected a little more of a show. Or at least a smile. SO's sister got just vegetables and noodles and he waited until the end when he was giving everyone else their vegetables to give her anything. Basically we all had our food and she was just waiting. The food was OK. I don't like the fact that absolutely everything was drown in soy sauce. As horrible as the service was the last time I went to Oki was, the food is just much better there. SO pointed out that because the owners of Yokohama are Chinese and Oki are Japanese it wasn't really fair to compare the two, but, for me it all comes down to taste and Yoko just didn't make the cut this time.
(3)Miranda M.
My boyfriend and I went to this place for sushi back in March and it was great, but I didn't like it so much when I came back to try it again last week. They forgot one thing that we ordered, my boyfriend's sweet potato tempura roll was undercooked, my boston roll was just weird, and we both thought that the special $14 Yokohama roll was pretty disgusting. Unfortunately, we probably won't be going back. Wasabi on Bald Hill Road is a much better and cheaper option.
(2)Lilo P.
So I came for some lunch (because I am a lunch special kind of person) and it was great! I always like to try the gyoza at Japanese places because I love love love dumplings (whether it be gaozhi, gyoza, or mandu). And Yokohama's gyoza have to be one of my favorite! Besides scarfing down dumplings, I got some maki rolls: salmon and sweet potato. If you don't like fish and think "sushi" isn't for you, then you HAVE to try the sweet potato rolls! They are just so amazing (at any place.... usually). Wait staff are extremely nice, too. One even pulled the chair out for me! Who does that? Yokohama does! My tip for new Asian restaurant experiences is always go during lunch. Often times, Chinese/Japanese/Korean restaurants will have a lunch special and things will be sooo cheap. And if you are like me, I like cheap! haha. Well not "cheap" but affordable.
(5)Tom W.
Went here on a Thursday evening by my self, not been here in a few few years. Not a great location in a Stop & Shop Center, never see a crowd here now I know why. Just OK. I sat at the bar, no one else was at the bar, very few in the place (not good). bartender friendly and helpful. ordered a beer and sashimi. Problem...the beer was not cold...the sashimi piecies were generous but just flavorful. The bartender said fresh fish came in on Tuesday and Thursday. Prices are ok but warm beer, not the best tasting sashimi, leaves me heading back to Haruki.
(2)Ray M.
I received a gift card for Christmas and was optimistic about eating here. I ordered the veggie rolls and avocado rolls. They were not bad but not as good as I have had at other Japanese restaurants. I understand that vegetable sushi is not the 1# ordered item but I think you should consider doing the rolls inside out and adding a bit more to the filling. This is also based on the fact that I am a vegan so non vegans could totally enjoy the food more than I did because I am limited to the foods I can eat at a Japanese restaurant. I would come back if there for more veggie options. Maybe a tofu or pickled squash roll, or a nice vegetarian sushi combo. Inari is also great.... Thank you.
(2)Robyn F.
This place was great! I can't wait to go back, my Sushi was incredible for the price I payed for it. I only stopped in quickly for a lunch special, but I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of sushi I received!
(4)Mark C.
Friendly service, delicious food and a rally roomy spot. But it's always so empty when I come here. How do they stay in business? I hope they succeed! It's great Japanese and sushi, without the high prices!
(4)Susan M.
I love this place, they are very friendly! Food is always good. Generous portions, prices are reasonable. The only small critic I can give, if they are cooking seafood, do the vegetables first. I didn't order seafood but my vegetables had a slight fishy taste. Other than that they are great!!
(4)Vixay V.
Don't really know what all the great reviews are about but I been there because of it and I find that it's really not all people say it is.
(1)YelpIsAnnoying P.
The restaurant itself could use some cleaning and care. The bar has a poor betta fish swimming in gross water with a skin on the surface. The bar itself looks cluttered and messy. The koi pond has decorative items that have fallen over. The restaurant is one big open room that is just opened up, with no sense of ambiance. You wouldn't know this place hasn't been here since the 70's. The food is meh. I've ordered takeout twice. They at least know to separate your hot items from your cold items, (which is more than I can say for Haruki). The maki rolls fall apart. The sushi hasn't been glazed with anything. There's no flavor to anything. Even the spicy mayo isn't all that spicy. Something about most restaurants in RI, they don't taste everything they make, so the food is bland at best or inconsistent at worst.
(2)M P.
An ok stop for Japanese food. Price is high but not out of line with most other Japanese restaurants. Often there is a Groupon available but make sure you read the fine print at the restaurant regarding Groupon restrictions. Bento boxes, fried rice, and sushi are all standard, nothing outstanding here. If not for the Groupon, other places that have sushi specials, etc. and more distinctive flavors would be a better choice.
(3)Tim P.
Very nice atmosphere. The staff was great. Very attentive. I had sushi and sashimi, deep fried ice cream and a drink called key lime pie. The price was very reasonable. I have spent more for less. I highly recommend Yokohama.
(5)Bud L.
I come here a few times every month. Always great food and nice staff Lunch specials are very reasonable Easy spot to meet for business
(4)Food C.
After having a terrible experience at Kon Asian Bistro a couple nights before (see my review) my wife and myself felt we hadn't gotten rid of our Sushi urge, so we thought we would give Yokohama a try. The experience was great. The service was top notch, the waitress checked up on us, made sure our drinks were always full, and if we needed anything. We received our meals in the proper order. In fact, I would have been understanding if service was just ok because they were hosting a group of 50+ from China, but the staff handled everything perfectly. I deducted 1 star for the sauce they put on our hibachi, but other than that it was great. One last thing to add, they serve the best Rainbow Roll I have ever had, and it was huge!
(4)Alyssa C.
Loved it!!! Such good fresh habachi food! Scorpion bowl tasted amazing!!! Such a perfect valentines dinner for trying a new place!
(5)Ashley C.
Love this place! Hibotchi is delicious, drinks are good, & always can find a groupon! this is our regular date night spot for me and my husband!
(5)Karen R.
I went back yesterday and the waitress got our whole order WRONG. Totally put a damper on the whole evening. The soup was cold and the waitress looked miserable and was on her phone the whole time. I do not recommend coming here, save your money and go somewhere nicer.
(1)Wendy S.
We went with a groupon and did not do the hibachi so I can't comment about that. However, we were seated quickly, and the service was fast and friendly. Great at keeping water glass full with ice. My friend said the bartender made a great drink. I wish the food had lived up to the service. The pork gyoza (steamed) appetizer were all dry on the edges with a mediocre flavor. The miso soup was ok, but the salad was a bit wilted under the dressing. Also it was a mesclun mix and I prefer iceberg with the dressing. We both got the 3 rolls special for $11 that included the soup and salad. I got the shrimp tempura roll, the spicy shrimp roll and the Boston roll. They all came out on one plate nicely presented, but they were small rolls. The Boston roll had mayo on top - whhaatttt??????? I have had 100's of Boston rolls and never had mayo on it so be aware and ask for without if you order. It was the best of the 3 though. The shrimp tempura roll was mediocre- shrimp was small and overcooked, so more batter than shrimp and too much eel sauce. Disappointing. The spicy shrimp had no flavor and she told me it was just shrimp and nori and rice- but there was some dry crumbs or something in there and it made it tasteless- even with the ginger/wasabi/soy sauce. My friend who rarely eats rolls liked all of hers, and she got the shrimp tempura roll and Boston roll as well. So for me, I would not go back. It's not good enough as there are many others around. So I'll keep trying others in the area when I'm there. That's what Groupons are for, right?
(2)Lisa C.
Yokohama has the best sushi in the Warwick, East Greenwich, North Kingstown area. Yes, the food is way better than Kon. They do not fill their rolls with extreme amounts of mayo and the rolls look as sushi should look. Hibachi and other meals on the menu are great as well. Ambience isn't as great as the others in the area, but wouldn't you rather have better food?
(5)Mitch K.
They have the greatest deal going for lunch. Sign up for their VIP card and you can get their lunch specials (maybe it's the whole lunch menu) for 15% off. I usually get takeout once a week as I work right down the road, and for just a little over $8 you get soup, salad, and two rolls from about ten selections. The fish is fresh and it's a nice filling (and healthy depending on the rolls you get!) lunch.
(4)Amy V.
Have been here on numerous occasions because not many sushi restaurants have gluten free options. Food is excellent. However, on our last visit, we had a groupon. Our waitress told us we couldn't use it for lunch and had to order off the dinner menu because they "changed the rules" a month ago. (The groupon was a birthday gift from September) The server was not overly pleasant, forgot our soups and was kind of argumentative. We spent more after the groupon was applied than we would have if we just ordered lunch. Honestly, I feel they should have honored the fine print on the grouon we had, not the "new rules"
(3)Kristi L.
Yokohama is a decent place for sushi. Ingredients are always fresh, and the service is generally good. Plus this is one of the few places I know that carries TY-KU sake - amazing! However, I've found from a recent visit that this place is nearly impossible to enjoy in the hot summer months. You see, this location is pretty small, with roughtly 10 dining tables, and a handful of heat-pumping hibachis. If you choose to go with the hibachi, you'll likely be a bit toasty, but that kind of goes with the territory. That said, if you are like me and prefer to sit in the dining area for some sushi, you'll find yourself sweating your makis off! We had to ask the waitress repeatedly to see if anything could be done about the temperature in the restaurant and the best option we were given was to sit in front of an oscillating fan. I can't imagine those temps are good for raw fish...just sayin'.
(3)Clarissa U.
Komono roll is good everything else is dry General tos gross and so is there miso soup
(2)Andrea C.
I went with my SO with a groupon; sushi was pretty average, and we didn't do Hibachi but it looked fun. We were looking for a cheaper alternative to Kon in EG, but without a groupon, I don't think this place cuts it. Service was great and pretty fast, waitresses were kind. The Special Rolls are good, but overall average. I recommend the Godzilla roll, it seems to be their most popular one for a reason. The way they present the sushi is very nice, although sometimes it's a little warmer than it should be, and the rolls don't stick together as well as they should. It is fresh though. I definitely would not recommend the Boston roll, unless you like mayonnaise.
(3)Dana T.
I often get takeout and love all the rolls. Also have dined in and loved the food and service. My go to sushi place in the area. Great prices great decor
(4)Robert M.
For a BBQ guy, they made an impression. So I am not a Japanese expert, but I like the Hibachi side of things. So last night the family and I stopped by Yokohama and sat in between the Hibachi and the Sushi bar. You get to choose from both sides. I had the Yaki Udon with chicken. It is a thick Udon noodle served in a soup (Yaki) with veg and the chicken. It is fantastic. We had a side of Chicken fried rice. This too was amazing. The wife had a Helterskelter roll & a Philadelphia roll. I am not a sushi/'roll' guy, but the Helterskelter was amazing. I would go back just for that. If you have kids, they offer a 'kids box.' It is on the pricey side, $10.00. But is is huge with a lot of top end stuff. Teriyaki beef, Edamame, to 6 small portions of California Roll and tempura tofu. It was all great. So again, I am a fan, but please take that for what it is worth. I am not a Sushi snob, not a Japanese fusion expert, but... everyone in the place looked really happy with what they were eating.
(4)Andrew U.
I was a little concerned when I noticed this place was in a Stop and Shop plaza, but the sushi was slammin! They have a ton of creative rolls, and I definitely thought that the homemade spicy apple salsa was tantalizing. Lots of spicy combinations, which I really enjoyed. I feel like you can go to this place a few times without getting bored or eating the same thing twice. The staff was very attentive but not overbearing. They do have hibachi there but as others have said "It is always the same no matter where you go." Conclusion: Based on the atmosphere inside, this makes a great lunch spot. Fair warning: The sushi is different and some may not like how spicy most of the rolls were. Overall the quality of fish was fresh, tender, and melts in your mouth, which is how sushi should be. I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a sushi place in Warwick.
(4)Tina Z.
This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants for rolls. The spicy bad girl is my absolute favorite roll of all time. The service is always fast and the prices are very reasonable. I have eaten here a number of times and find the food and service to be very consistent.
(4)Alma C.
I've only been here once when it first opened, and it serves the standard American-style sushi rolls that everyone seems to expect in a sushi restaurant. If you expect a lot of sushi roll options with avocado, you'll like this place. If you are looking for an authentic Japanese sushi experience, you won't find it here (or anywhere close). The service is good, the restaurant is clean, and the sushi is about as good as you'll find in the area.
(3)Sean P.
This place is a solid average. The food was good, the price was reasonable, the performance level of the chef was good, the ingredients were fresh. We started with vegetable tempura which was light and crisp (if less than plentiful), followed by the steak hibachi, which was well cooked and juicy. So why 3 stars? Because it is just that, good; not great, not excellent, but certainly not bad either.
(3)Natalie T.
I hate to give any restaurant two stars, but I just couldn't bring myself to give Yokohama a third. The staff was very pleasant so I wanted to like them, but we were squashed in next to the bar, the menu was uninspired, and the food just wasn't very good. We went in December on a Groupon deal, and we were so unimpressed that we didn't even take home the leftovers - unheard of in my house since I usually eat half and bring the other half home. The sushi was mushy and disappointing, and other items were just as lackluster. Sorry, there are too many decent hibachi and sushi places around to even want to try again...
(2)Julia G.
Great workday lunch spot. The garlic noodles are very good, but sometimes miss the mark. They have Hibachi with chefs in awesome hibachi hats. And a sweet lunch deal; for $8 you get 2 rolls miso soup and salad all of which are scrumptious. 10$ total for delicious & filling yet good for you? definitely 5 stars. .. caveat... for a lunch place, it gets 5 stars. on the dinner scale it's a bit less exciting ambiance-wise. Today I stayed true to my headline (on my profile here) and practically growled and bit my poor waiter when he tried to take away my last bite of sushi and three remaining pieces of lettuce in my salad before I was done. Then I literally licked the plate to get all the avocado and wasabi out of the experience I could.
(5)Matt B.
The food was ok (though just ok, and the Hibachi chef wasn't nearly as good as they are at say Kon). However, my dissatisfaction is with their policies. I met some friends there and I planned to use a groupon ($15 for $30 worth of food). I intentionally ordered $30+ worth of food. When it came time to pay, the friends I was with received their bill first and paid using a groupon. When I then tried to pay my separate bill using my groupon, Yokohama would not honor my groupon because my friends had used a groupon. Wish I had known that I was going to be paying out of pocket since I intentionally ordered $30+ worth of food for the purpose of taking advantage of the promotion. Lesson learned I guess.
(2)Aly K.
Yokohama, I don't care what anybody says about you, I think you are swell! Went here for my boyfriend's birthday and it was great! The food was awesome! We sat at a Hibachi table and the cook was a total ham! Back to the food. It was yummy. The best friend rice I have ever eaten. My friends tried the sushi and said it was tasty. Every one loved their meals and the drinks were good too! I left with a smile, full stomach and singed eyebrows. Overall, a great night and I will definitely return!
