Bidra med feedbackYou know that hidden gem you're hoping to discover so you can show off your impressive taste? Well this is it! Don't be put off by the exterior and location, this is some top tier Japanese comfort food. The takoyaki (fried octopus balls) were rich, savory, and piping hot. The tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) was crisp on the outside and juicy inside. The venue itself has a very closed, diner sort of cozy feel. One warning is that their capacity was pretty reduced when I went, so be prepared for a longish wait to get a table.
Most authentic Japanese food in the area. Prices are decent and quality is always consistent. Friendly service albeit a bit slow but that's everywhere these days. The rice bowls are excellent.
Awesome place to get lunch and pretty reasonable priced. Most entrees around $11 with soup and salad. The server was friendly. The curry here is so tasty. Also tiny grocery store on the side.
The outside does not look like it has been updated, but upon entering the restaurant itself, the atmosphere feels comforting and relaxed. The employees were helpful and even provided recommendations. My only critique is that the two appetizers and later the two main dishes were brought out at different times. My guess is that it was all brought out as it was made. Overall, great experience and delicious food.
We lucked in on this wonderful establishment, rolling on the I-285 heading towards Charlotte from Alabama. Coming from California, I am more than a little spoiled having eaten at Nobu Malibu and La locations , legendary Ricky Sushi before he shut down , and Oshima in Tustin countless times. So there is fine dining sushi, and sushi. And Yoko, blurs the line with its execution, quality, and ridiculously low prices. The menu is perhaps too extensive for its own good, so there will be items that don’t quite fit into this upper echelon of AMAZING dining, but I am sure there are those that love it just fine. An example is Beef Teriyaki, I’m sure most enjoy it, it’s just not stupendous like so many other items here. The Tonkatsu red I ordered is literally the Japanese equivalent of Trieu Chau in Orange County. It’s that good !! The egg noodles were so wonderful and fresh tasting and the flavors emanate on so many levels, it’s the best I’ve ever had… ps… I drank the broth to the bottom like Naruto does… I never drink the broth. Tempura is light, not oily, and so very airy. Sashimi slicing, dicing and thickness is super subjective, and may be the reason for varying ratings in reviews, but the bottom line is my daughter , who possesses a “god tongue” says it’s really really good and fresh. The fatty tuna all the way she exclaimed! For the prices , don’t nag about the quantity or cut size, just order more! I’d happily pay triple for the same dishes and quantity as reflection of the quality and service we received. Come in and eat to your hearts’ content!
