Yoshino Japanese Restaurant

Hidden gem!My wife and I love this spot.Excellent service and delicious sushi.Sushi chef knows what he's doing.Can't beat the prices either.

I very much love this place! I've come a couple of times & ordered the combination (bento) box. I've had the teriyaki chicken with both the tempura & sashimi (albacore) side. Loved them both. The tempura is really well done - great texture. The sashimi was thick, tender pieces, rather than thin slices. For the teriyaki chicken, there's a great portion & flavor. Their rice is perfect. My favorite is honestly the Miso soup. It is just wonderful! My boyfriend thought he didn't like Miso soup until he tried this one & now he wants to learn how to make it himself haI've been both first and last for dinner seating & had nice service, it's not loud when it's full. For all the good food & the quality, this place is totally worth it!

This restaurant offers a great authentic Japanese food experience. We had just come from the nearby Japanese Friendship Garden Museum at Balboa Park so the craving for Japanese food was certainly present. We each got the Bento box one with Sesame Chicken and one with Teriyaki Chicken, both with tempura. Our server gave us Miso soup to start off the meal and I was taken aback by how good the Miso Soup was. I'm not usually a drinker of Miso Soup but this just changed my world. The sesame chicken was full of flavor, texture was crispy and I truly couldn't put my chopsticks down. Everything that came as a side in the bento box complimented everything so well and I felt that this was an exceptionally well-rounded meal that left me feeling full and happy. We were the 2nd party to arrive after the place had just opened and the service was genuinely pleasant. This is a family run business with Mom handling a few parties + cooking while pops artfully rolls up the sushi. The restaurant has a "traditional" feel to it. It's evident that's its been open for business for a long time while maintaining a sense of cleanliness and order flawlessly. I will certainly be back, as this place might have topped my list for amazing and authentic Japanese food.

I went there with my daughter. Very much like the one in Japan. I like the fact that it's around the corner Japanese restaurant. It is hidden gem and I will go there again. Try their Takoyaki! Yum yum

Even if you know the area, you may miss this little restaurant. It's been here since I was a kid and I'm not young. If you're looking for a 50 types of rolls menu, this place is not for you. It still has the old school sushi bar and a basic menu. There's no frills, just good Japanese food. They don't fill you up with a lot of rice and the fish and scallop was tasty

We had the Caterpillar roll, rainbow roll & lunch combination B.Honestly didn't know what to expect from this place as the complex looks underwhelming but was surprisingly pretty good. Service was good. If you're in the area and craving sushi it's not a bad spot to check out.

This place feels like comfort - almost like coming home for the weekend from college. The food was good! I ordered the nabeyaki udon which came out piping hot. The hubs ordered his uzhe chirashi bowl and commented that it really hit the spot. The kiddo got the sashimi mix and gobbled it up. He didn't want to eat plain rice, so I put some of my soup in his bowl of rice and he devoured it lol. We also got an order of tempura to share. The husband was feeling a little under the weather and he really enjoyed the hot tea.The staff was nice and helpful. We didn't have reservations but were seated right away. If we lived in the area, I'm sure we'd be repeat customers!

Sesame chicken and chicken terriyaki was good. Glad I got the regular version b/c it came with salad and more meat than the lunch special, which came with bean sprouts and salad. Miso soup was fine.Food came reasonably fast, place was clean, and it was not too crowded. Located in small strip mall with small parking lot that has a security guard. Would come back again.

This is a very friendly family owned sushi restaurant run by the husband, his wife, and their kids. The menu selections are quite limited, but not bad if you want some simple rolls. I would not recommend this place if you want high end sashimi.Overall we had a nice time here. It has a homey atmosphere and felt like we were eating at a friend's house.Lots of free parking spaces!

Very good! Authentic Japanese. Fish is fresh. Family owned. Service is fast and staff is friendly!
