Such a surprise - Ive passed this place many times, but finally tried it and Im delighted to say that theres once again really good sushi in Los Gatos. Ive lamented the loss of Sushi on the Run - but this family-run operation has fresh fish, very creative rolls, great food overall - + outdoor seating. Great value overall, too.
We came for fish and rice...and we got everything we wanted! I have been going to this little sushi place for a few years now. I realized that I have never given it a proper review. Let me start by saying that it is the sushi that I compare all other sushi places to. I mostly order nigiri, but have friends who order rolls and can’t get enough. The chefs there seem to understand the perfect proportions of fish and rice in the rolls and the nigiri. They always give very healthy portions of some of the freshest fish I have eaten at a sushi restaurant. I have only had excellent sushi there, and the hamachi is the best I have ever tasted. The service is generally great, but can be a bit casual, which fits the atmosphere. I have brought many people there who like all different types of sushi (rolls, sashimi, fishy, no fishy), and all they can ask is, “When are we coming back?” When we go we order a lot of food (and sometimes sake/beer), and the prices are very reasonable. I will continue to support and recommend this wonderful little sushi place with the freshest fish in town, and I hope you can experience it the way I have!
I was the first one inside the restaurant the night I came in and had a wonderful experience. I sat at the bar. The manager gifted me salad and miso soup! So kind and so good. I had a spicy white tuna roll, caterpillar roll & an amaaaaazing scallop roll. I highly & enthusiastically recommend Yokohama Sushi!
Food was great. Service initially left a lot to be desired as I was barely acknowledged after entering so just seated myself waiting for my family. I tried getting the staffs attention but since I dont like shouting at folks that didnt pan out... Eventually I was asked if I could move to a smaller table as to make room for other patrons and I informed them I actually plan on eating here with more guests. We were all on board from this point on. From here I ordered a nice beer and actually had a great time with my family and the service was pretty darn good. So while it started out rocky they won me over in the end. But if the staff or management reads this I would suggest really working to consistently greet your customers. First impressions matter a lot folks and if I wasnt planning to wait here for my family I would have gone somewhere else.
The food was delicious, prices were fair, and the staff was so friendly/great service! We are happy to have found our favorite sushi spot in Los Gatos and we will be back!
This place is such a gem! Came here on a recommendation from a friend. They have a huge menu so it may take some time to decide on something like I did, but the owner expertly recommended me one of their house special rolls--which btw was absolutely fantastic. The service was also excellent! Very attentive and friendly; the owner even remembers his regulars which is always a good thing. ;) I tried the rolls my friends ordered. All were very delicious and super fresh! I highly recommend this place whenever you feel like Japanese!
A small, quaint place with really good dishes. I recommend the Volcano (spicy) and any rolls with white Tuna. Excellent Miso soup as well.
Ordered take out on door dash from Yoko. They never accepted the order and when I showed up an hour later the restaurant was locked and closed. They also never answered their phone when I called. Had to deal with door dash support to get a refund. Really bad experience and first time this has ever happened to me on door dash take out. Wont be coming back.
Best sushi weve had in the area. Fresh ingredients, excellent service and simple quality menu. Thanks!
Enjoyed the dragon roll an Tijuana roll. My sons teriyaki chicken was dry. The ambiance isnt great but the food and service are good.
Oh my gosh this place was so cute and so good! We got the alaskan, Californian and Philadelphia rolls. Best Philly Ive ever had! Super sweet people.
Cosy little spot with indoor/outdoor seating, wonderful presentation of delicious rolls and sashimi, and tasty cocktails, too. Great for either a quick meal or a lingering one.
Love the food here. Fresh handmade nigiri are a delight
Very delicious and fresh sashimi, sushi and rolls. Friendly chefs and owner. Unfortunately they dont have any noodles.
One of the most amazing sushi experiences I had in a while. Try Bob favorite of you love seafood maki and its spicy!
We decided to stop in on our anniversary. Every time we pass this place up we wanted to try it out. The food and service was excellent !! Definitely recommended.
Arguably one of the best holes in the wall. Fish is always fresh. If it’s not they don’t serve it. I come here regularly
Great food, fish is fresh, service is top notch and friendly. Something for everyone. Even young kids.
Tiny, but cozy - delicious food and friendly staff. The menu is huge, there is definitely something for everyone, and the chefs deliver great flavor!
Lovely little Japanese restaurant, the people and the food are great!
The sushi roll with jalapeno and cilantro was surprisingly, remarkably great!
Good food. Super crunchy roll was great. Service OK. Miso soup was good.
Two of the rolls we got were supposed to be baked, one wasnt even cooked, not much flavor either for the price
Service is wonderful best sushi I’ve had in a long time
Cozy spot that wasnt too crowded during lunch on a weekday. Food was good and reasonably priced.
Great sushi restaurant in downtown Los Gatos.
Was just not very good food. We had 3 different rolls and we would not come back.
Small sushi place with a fabulous selection of rolls and flavors.
Favorite sushi place in LG. Best salmon ever!

2017-08-20 20:52:02This place is great, I came here with a group at around 9:30 p.m. because our group hadnt had dinner yet. Theres good sushi rolls and service. Both crunchy roll options had rice krispies which was interesting but ultimately not a problem. We will be back

2023-03-18 01:22:01The Salmon Kama was nicely cooked, some places very tender and the meaty portions still juicy and not dry. The very light drizzle of teriyaki sauce was perfect — make the dish more palatable without overwhelming the taste.The sesame gomaae spinach was at times pleasant but the bottom of the bowl had a deep pool of soy sauce. Ultimately, the majority of the dish was overwhelmed by the soy sauce flavor and saltiness.The Dynamite Roll was a decent roll. Not much to comment on, if you like this type of roll, youll probably find the execution above average.The tea was light without the feeling of being over-steeped. I would have appreciated slightly more frequent refills, but I drink tea very fast, the pace was definitely okay for other patrons inside.

2022-11-15 21:29:36Such a great spot. The sushi is great and the price is very reasonable. My favorite part is when they bring out a small salad or miso soup for you on-the-house. So cool!

2022-12-15 19:54:32Tasty meal and very friendly service. Reasonably priced. Bright lights and seating close to the door on a cold night were the only down sides.
