Yoshi

Have ordered takeout and delivery before and liked the food, so finally tried eating there - pleasantly surprised by everything! Everyone was friendly, helpful and fast. We ordered edamame, gyoza, albacore crispy onion, Las Vegas roll and miso ramen. Especially loved the gyoza (thinner skin and perfectly grilled and steamed), Las Vegas roll was tasty and crunchy, and miso ramen was very good - broth, noodles, mushrooms. Happy we can have a nice time eating out there too! Will be back!

Good shopping strip sushi house with very reasonable prices even outside of happy hour. The ramens and signature rolls are around $10-15 each. Their nigiri pieces range from $5.50 - 9.50 (for 2). About the only bad thing is that there's not much space for dine-in much less for a large group. They seems to do a lot of business through delivery app.My vegetable ramen was good, and the broth was not too salty. I read some complaints that it was undersalted but it's better when you can reach for the salt or soy sauce than too much. I saw that the Texas roll was beautifully crafted although smaller and tasted fresh even on a Sunday.

If u like sushi this is a quick bite placeBut not for a fine diningThe overall quality is not meeting standards But the layout and portion is generous Really good for someone just want to taste a little The service is goodBut will not return

We came in on Sunday lunch. It's a quiet place with not a lot of seating. The waitresses were very nice to us and got us water quickly! We had a large group of friends come in and they did a good job of being accommodating. They pushed tables together and offered to split all the checks. I got the chicken teriyaki lunch special for $11. It was plenty of food for a lunch. It also came with miso soup that wasn't overly salted and had tofu and seaweed.

I visited here on Tuesday, October 18th, 2022 at 120pm. Yoshi was empty. It seemed that they were done with busy lunchtime. I ordered a sushi lunch with miso soup. The Miso soup was okay. Regarding sushi, to my surprise, it was excellent. I wanna write improvements. The chef constantly touched his mobile phone before cooking. I was not sure if he washed his hands. there were a lot of germs on the cell phone. Hope he washed his hands. When the chef or server uses the phone, please hide and use it.Overall, it was a small mom-and-pop restaurant, but i gave 5 stars.

Yoshi is one of Houston's nearly infinite strip mall sushi joints and weighs in on the more affordable side of the spectrum. I've now experienced the place both in person and via takeout and some common themes emerged. First off, it is a quaint space with a neighborhood feel: just a few tables, a small kitchen, and a TV in the corner. The service is super friendly and attentive. Regarding the menu, the miso soup was great - not too salty and furnished with generous amounts of tofu and seaweed. In general, the rolls were a bit faultily constructed and broke apart rather easily under their own weight. We were not fans of the Lake Jackson Roll (snow crab and avocado inside, topped with hamachi, jalapeno, and green onion) because the crab tasted like soggy tuna - perhaps the mayo was too watery? The Pink Lady Roll (tuna, salmon, white fish, avocado, and shrimp in soy paper) also didn't really come together for us in terms of flavor. In fact, the spicy mayo underneath was the best part. The nigiri and sashimi were a mixed bag. The nigiri came with long slices of fish that were thin in the other two dimensions. Some of the fish had a strange plastic-like texture and actually tasted defrosted. The 14-piece sashimi platter is an excellent deal as the fish were largely cut into thick, juicy slabs. The white tuna, hamachi, and salmon were fantastic and the clear stand outs. The pepper tuna was also decent. I would stick to these if possible. The rest of the varieties of fish were straight up unenjoyable. The tuna had a bitter aftertaste and did not feel fresh. The red snapper was overly chewy and mild. The other cubes of pink fish on our platter tasted like water, which is to say like nothing. Overall, the offerings at Yoshi are pretty decent for the price and the quantity is reasonable, but the fish is extremely inconsistent in terms of quality. It's a decent bet for cheap takeout, but I don't think I will be adding it to my regular rotation.

The pricing of this sushi is the best. The rolls are affordable and you definitely get your money's worth. The fish isn't amazingly fresh and isn't the best sushi you can have in Houston but it does the job

Small place with very delicious Ramen! We also ordered 2 sushi rolls. One is called the dragon roll (very yummy) and the other one the pink lady. My favorite was the Pink lady that is one you have to try for sure! I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. The sashimi was fresh and so delectable, their shrimp tempura was so crispy and yummy! Their service was great! They are very polite and they keep their place clean. Definitely coming back!

We ordered delivery and saw this place had good reviews. We got the Chirashi bowl and Shashimi combo and were unimpressed. The fish was fairly bland and the (what we were assuming to be) tuna was leaking red like it was dyed to make it seem higher quality (it didn't taste or feel high quality either). Overall not worth the price even with the coupon I had through a delivery app. The driver also seemed to have needed to wait a while for it.

Japanese cuisine is a hard sell in the Braeswood / West U area, so I understand the immediate appeal of a place like Yoshi. Places like this are a lot more common than your average omakase, so I realize the comparison isn't warranted. The service has always been lukewarm and the prices are a little much, considering the food is very subpar (#1) at best.The pandemic wasn't kind to any business and life at Yoshi was no exception. They took extra precautions and made the place exclusively takeout for awhile; going as far as sealing out the front so that no one could get past the door and with an artificial paper wall for transactions and waiting. I want to assume that things have gone back to normal, but I've still only called in for pickup.As previously noted, the food is mediocre. I found the sushi to be overpriced for what it is and I have to assume the affluent neighborhood + the lack of any serious competition has to contribute to this. This is not destination sushi. It's takeout sushi with a slightly higher price tag. I've never walked away without spending at least $100 on everything, which is usually good enough for several rolls and a few nigiri pieces a la carte.The rolls were underwhelming and this also applies to their array of special rolls, including the cowboy roll. I am not fond of how skinny / small the nigiri pieces are cut, but to each his/her own. I am also not a fan of the ramen, which is probably worse than the sushi. The broth is a near salt bomb and I've been less enthused to experiment with their menu as I would with other places. Sharing the same parking lot as Whole Foods, I'm willing to bet the latter has better options for sushi. The staff here seems somewhat apathetic and unmotivated to do better. They're bilingual in both Mandarin and English and they take credit card.___________(#1) AYCE sushi quality but a little sadder.
