Sushi Yoshi Review - Torrance - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This strip mall spot is a very good place for affordable sushi. Try to grab one of the five seats at the Dodger bobblehead-decorated bar and order the No. 8 Special. It involves nine pieces of sushi and two rolls, and at $13.50, it’s the most expensive thing on the menu. Add on an order of the fantastic, salty mirugai (giant geoduck clam) if they have it." - Brett Keating

Definitely come for lunch—the value for money is unbeatable, and the food tastes great too. The chirashi is an incredible deal!

Sushi Yoshi in offers decent food, though it's not quite as good as it used to be. The sushi and dishes are generally fresh and well-prepared, but I noticed a drop in quality compared to previous visits. However, the service remains excellent, with attentive staff who are friendly and accommodating. The ambiance could use an update—it's beginning to show its age, which affects the overall dining experience a bit. Parking can also be a hassle. Overall, it’s a good choice for sushi in Vienna if you're looking for reliable service, even if the food quality has declined somewhat.

Japanese dishes at this establishment were very good when we dined here before, though it seems that the overall quality has changed over the years. During our recent visit, the food was satisfactory but didn't quite match the higher standards we remember from before. While seating options are somewhat limited both inside and outside, the service was friendly and accommodating.

"The interior may be dated, but it’s still one of the best sushi spots in Vienna. Their chirashi is especially outstanding."

It's a wonderful place. They make great food with quality ingredients. As an example, my friend runs his diesel van on used cooking oil. He barely needs to filter the used cooking oil he collects from here. They change the oil they use quite frequently. He would never collect used oil from that place with a clown for a mascot, too full of impurities.

This is hands-down our favorite sushi spot in Vienna. The cozy ambiance adds to its authenticity, making each visit feel special. The food is exceptional, with a variety that keeps us coming back to try something new. My current favorites are the Moises Roll and Negitoro, and they also serve Asahi beer, my top pick for lager. Just a heads-up: while the flavors are incredible, the portion sizes are a bit smaller than what the average American might expect. I recommend ordering an extra roll or two—you won’t regret it!

My husband and I came here many years ago. Back in February 2025 my husband wanted to revisit it because he remembered he liked the sashimi here a lot which is rare for him to complement on a sushi restaurant. Sashimi was fresh and after all these years it’s still our favorite place to go for quality sashimi at a reasonable price.

Alright so I'm typically critical about sushi restaurants but this place is pretty legit. The fish is fresh and the rolls and nigiri are well plated. Pro tip, chirashi is pretty amazing here and I highly recommend it. Don't over order, the pieces of fish are generous size and will fill you up.

Came for lunch and loved the atmosphere. Very cozy and cute. Ordered a tempura udon and California roll and ikura. The rolls were very good and fresh. The tempura and sauce was perfect. But the udon was a little disappointing. I was definitely expecting more than broth and udon.

We've been coming here over the years, and it's great to see that nothing has changed. Parking is tricky, but we came on a Sunday evening and had no issues finding a spot right behind the restaurant. We had also made a reservation since the restaurant is small, but it ended up not being necessary as the restaurant wasn't busy at the time. Service was attentive and we ordered two separate times because we enjoyed our rolls so much. The rolls came out timely and were fresh and/or hot depending on what we got. The standouts for us were the two specialty rolls we ordered - the Moises Roll and the Sushi Yoshi roll. We will definitely be back soon as we continue to have a great experience here.

Awesome old school sushi spot in Vienna. I used to come here all the time 8-10 years ago and it has not changed. The sushi and combos are great! We dined in recently and had the poke moon appetizer and the agedashi tofu and we loved all of it. Our 2yo daughter actually ate the whole poke appetizer and half the tofu. I rarely receive the agedashi tofu crispy but theirs was perfect! Still had a nice crispy layer! The sushi was also awesome. Our daughter ate half of what we ordered and we had to order more! The uni was pretty good but the hamachi sushi was amazing! Super buttery and delicious. Great place for lunch or dinner!

Never a disappointing visit... I come here about once every other month due to working in this area. Some days service can be faster than others but the two rolls that I could never replace are the Moises and Tim Tim rolls.

DoorDashed here. Got their deluxe chirashi. Overall? The fish could have been fresher. The Japanese side dishes were a bit fishy. The mackerel was fishy (fishier than others I guess?). The chirashi here isn't cheap, and the amount you get isn't that great. I think I'll pass next time. Had high hopes too - ordered to celebrate my wife giving birth and being able to eat sushi safely...a bit disappointed. Oh well. 3/5. Maybe dining inside is better

They serve good food made with fresh ingredients. And I am always satisfied with the staff's impeccable service. Although it is a small restaurant, it has a family atmosphere. I enjoy eating out at this cozy spot with my family and friends whenever I get the chance.

Honestly had a below mid experience here. Firstly, it's really hard to find parking here as the lot behind the restaurant is very small. That would've been fine if the restaurant was a good time Gonna start with the service, which was quite slow. It took us over 30 minutes and maybe 45 to get our sushi. With regards to the sushi itself, it might have been the most disappointing. We ordered 9 rolls including one specialty roll. A couple of them were good, but most of the sushi was either average or just straight up not good. The Edwin roll, which was the specialty roll we got, was particularly bad. The food isn't expensive, which is fine I guess.

This is a LONG overdue review of one of my favorite sushi restaurants-- ever. I'm a sashimi snob and have been to some of the best sushi restaurants in LA/SF/DC/NYC and around the world. I've had omakase in all those cities and have eaten at the fanciest as well as the worst. Sushi Yoshi is unparalleled in its value for the quality fish, food and service. You will not find a place more reasonably priced than Sushi Yoshi. Of course the fish and cuts are not what you'd expect at Nobu; but it's REALLY good. The fish is fresh and the portions are big!! It also serves the BEST hamachi Kama you will ever eat anywhere. Hands down the best. The meat is thick and not overly greasy like other places (that usually serves a very think piece of the collar.) The chef and owner Mark is also extremely personable and generous with his portions. You can trust him to use great quality ingredients and fish directly flown from Japan. My family ordered from Sushi Yoshi at least once a week during COVID. They stayed open all throughout the pandemic! In fact, we often had to wait for 15-20 min to place an order on the phone because they were so busy and popular! We still order almost every three weeks or so (whenever I visit my sister's.) And I eat two orders of chirashi sashimi by myself! (Without the rice) All in all, I'd highly recommend trying Sushi Yoshi if you haven't yet. It's a gem in Vienna!

Parking is tricky if you come here on a busy day, however they have a small parking lot next to the building with street parking but there is also a parking garage close by. all the rolls were super yummy with the perfect portion of rice to fish/toppings. Our waiter was kind and patient with us. overall the place is a small cute spot in vienna with cafe/dessert spots to walk over to afterwards.

I heard they got a new owner do was a bit concerned until we came back w our group. Most of us got the usual Chirashi dish which aimed to please in freshness, nice portions and great flavor elements in the rice portion! The salad and soup that came with it were all well executed too. Service was fantastic too as always. We even had leftover sushi which you can see from the photo why. For moderate appetites, you can almost share one dish. Our group also got the shrimp tempura which too was done to perfection. We came over after one of the best messages from the spa next door called Green Spa--perfect day.

FOOD - Roll Combo - Salmon, Spicy Tuna, and California - Chirashi Lunch - Church St. Roll - avocado and cream cheese with smoked salmon, avocado, mango, and mango sauce on top The roll combo is pretty basic. It really just tastes like any ordinary sushi, but I would say that the price and the amount are really worth it. For the Chirashi Lunch, the fish was fresh and not overly seasoned which gave it a nice flavor. The presentation was also top-notch. The Church St. Roll was actually amazing. I've never really had sushi with mango, but I think the mango sauce with the mango and cream cheese made a good sort of tangy flavor that was really unique. Overall, the price of the food for the quality of ingredients and amount are totally worth it. VIBES So, funny story, the A.C. was not working so most of the seating was outside. It was alright at the beginning but as time went on it got a lot more irritating. So basically, I can't really base this rating on a situation so I will just note that currently, their A.C. is in the works. SERVICE Service was relatively fast. There was 1 server helping 4-5 tables outside. Food was served in a prompt manner and we got in and out pretty fast.

The sushi here is consistent. They have fresh fish and quick service. It's a nice spot for lunch, especially if the weather is nice you can sit outside on the patio. I like that their menu specifically states "crab stick" for the imitation crab meat. I do wish they had prices for what it would be if it was real crab meat though. Nevertheless we enjoy this place and come here when we have a sushi craving.

Good food, fast service. Not as pricey as you'd imagine but not cheap either. Recommend eat in vs take out.

Sushi Yoshi has been a family favorite for years.  It is a small space but also is great for take-out.  There are several dishes we like so much that it is hard to expand out and try other things, but, the dishes we love are so full of flavor, it is very hard to pass them by.  That's why we were so alarmed when we went last weekend and noticed two of our favorites were no longer on the menu.  Thankfully, they will still make them for you and are kind of "secret items" for longtime customers.  The first is the sushi rice crepe.  The fish is fresh and the combo of sauces is really good.  I have to admit that I often dump rice in the remaining sauce so I don't leave any behind.  The second is the yellow tail jaw.  If you have never had fish jaw, you will be surprised at how much and how tender the fish in that cut is. It comes with a sauce and accompaniments, but, even on its own, it is just so delicious.  Don't be embarrassed to really tear it apart because there are yummy morsels to be had hiding in all those nooks and crannies.  We also really like the spicy tuna salad.  The seaweed salad was a little disappointing this last visit.  It less seaweed salad on top of more lettuce than we expected.  The gyoza are also good.  The staff at Sushi Yoshi is very attentive and helpful (especially when they are letting you know that your favorite entrees can still be ordered!)  Parking can be a little tricky as the lot behind the restaurant is small.  However, there is street parking.

I am sick as I write this. This was some of the worst sushi I have ever had. All of the fish tastiest rancid and extremely fishy. This included the tuna, the shrimp, and the smoked salmon. Rolls were completely unbalanced, salty, mushy and tasted old. I make sushi myself and have been to Japan this is NOT how fish should taste. Also, we were sat at the table by the door, in front of the host stand for some reason. So cold and uncomfortable. Not sure why the place was packed. I saw a couple walk out after being seated, before they got their food. They were smarter than us. Now I know why it was inexpensive compared to other sushi in the area.

I ordered food for pick-up here at the height of the pandemic in 2020 and it was the perfect sushi meal! I ordered a sushi combo bento box which came with california rolls, fresh sushi, salmon terriyaki, and miso soup for a little over $25. It was so much food so it lasted me at least two meals. They have other options such as udon noodles, tempura, katsu, and sashimi, that you're easily able to find something that you'd like to fulfill your cravings. The food was so fresh and simple. The only downside was the wait. I waited at least twenty minutes after getting to the store for my food to be ready. But it was a Sunday evening during the pandemic so it was very busy. I'd love to go in-person some time to see how it is!

A solid place for sushi. It is a small place but the place had a good vibe and was not that crowded on a Wednesday night so it was easy to get a table with great service. I got miso soup and it was just ok. I also got a salmon and California roll and they were great. The parking situation can be tricky with all the cars and street parking. I would recommend this place if you want sushi and in the general area.

Decent, inexpensive sushi, and very crowded on a Friday night! My friend and I had to wait a bit before we got seated, but a reservation was not needed and we were able to sit at the sushi bar. The atmosphere was nice - its a charming restuarant, just cramped inside. The doorway needs some revamping as it was tight and difficult for the waitstaff and customers to maneuver. There's outdoor seating as well. The sushi was tasty, but standard. Good for the price, but nothing to write home about. I really liked the salmon & avocado rolls, though! Service was nice. Probably would not come back, as finding parking was quite difficult.

The sushi here is amazing!! I'm not sure why it doesn't have better reviews but it is GREAT. Scallop roll (pictured below) is so good!! As is the Japanese lasagna. Not pictured. I ordered a make your own type sushi and it was amazing.

Fair prices and absolutely delicious sushi. The fish was melt in your mouth. I tried my sister's sushi combo and loved the salmon and avocado roll the most. The Vienna roll was good but too sweet for me personally.

A cute local sushi restaurant with a good lunch special?! What more could a guy ask for! We came here on a sunny Friday for lunch. The restaurant is small and charming inside. We tried the Agedashi Tofu, Sashimi Lunch, and the Sushi Lunch. The Agedashi Tofu was hot and freshly fried, and the sauce was light and not too salty. The cuts of fish were fresh and the pieces of fish had a nice marble and a buttery texture to them. I definitely plan to come back here when I'm visiting home and craving good sashimi.

Cute local sushi spot with indoor and outside patio seating. A few people with doggies outside so pet friendly. Nice staff and food didn't take too long, although it was a slower night. The soba salad was sweet and tasty with generous amount of avocado. The sushi was pretty good, but my favorite was the spicy scallop roll. The Tim Tim roll had a good spicy sauce drizzled on top.

Chirashi sushi is fresh and price is unbeatable around the DMV area if you go for lunch special during weekday. Highly recommend! The restaurant itself only has 6 parking spot behind the building. If you come during busy hours you might need to spend some time finding street parking.

I only wish that I had an old photo of the same lunch from a few years ago. Went today and the actual rice is much smaller along with the sashimi and variety. Variety seems to have been replaced with more salmon sashimi. I like salmon, but don't reduce the amount of rice and charge close to $21. I know prices have gone up for everything, but this is just not the same place anymore. I won't be going back, there are other options.

I have heard many claims of other sushi restaurants being the best in the area. Sushi Yoshi however is the best sushi restaurant in Vienna (and Tyson's). I am making this claim leveraging several different judgement processes. 1. Quality - of the sushi restaurants I have been to in the area, which should be all of them Sushi Yoshi and Kizuna reign supreme. I am giving Sushi Yoshi the edge since they include more premium fish in their standard offerings and the rice is not overly seasoned. However, for both of these restaurants the actual fish and rice have a superior flavor and texture. 2. Value for money - this is where Sushi Yoshi truly sets it's self apart from from the others. They are firmly in the middle of the price range. Not as expensive as Kizuna but not as cheap as a Sweet Ginger. Using the Chrashi as a benchmark (my go to dish) Sushi Yoshi provides the greatest variety, most premium ingredients, and greatest quantity. I am a ~175lbs (+pandemic weight) guy and I regularly cannot finish the Young's Chirashi deluxe. The regular Chirashi also follows the same variety and quantity trend just with a mix more heavily weighted to basic ingredients. 3. Authenticity - They do have many other non sushi dishes that you might see in an izakaya. The food is good, but this like most other Japanese restaurants focuses on sushi. If you really need authenticity you may need to travel to Japan. Notes on improvements for the restaurant - other competitors in the area have better (real) wasabi. Kizuna and Takohashi in Arlington come to mind. It would be a great addition. Great restaurant. Bon appetit.

The food here is incredible. The sushi is top notch. The Mexican, tim tim, and Moises rolls were sensational quality and flavor profiles. You can beat the specialty rolls here they're to die for. I'll say, for our group it did take a long time for our food to get to us. We were there over lunch and it took 40 minutes to get our food. Which is a long time for lunch. Also we saw a roach crawl across the table that's why I gave it a 3 star this time.

absolutely delicious sushi, the fatty toro melts in your mouth. but the one star off is because it took 1 hour for the food to get here- they definitely prioritize takeout orders over dine in.

I live right down the street from this place, and went there their first week of business. I've travelled all over the world, and consider myself a sushi connoisseur, but this is arguably the best sushi place I've ever been to. But besides that, their soups are amazing. I've never taken soups home in a doggy bag before until now. My daughter is allergic to fish, but my family loves going to this place because it has something for all of us. It is not the cheapest place, but you get what you pay for, hands down. This place has been open for only a couple years, but has quickly developed a dedicated following, so reservations are recommended. It didn't use to be open for lunch but now it is, and even lunch is busy. Parking is a piece of cake- huge parking lot. Also one nice thing is the chef comes by and says hello when things are slower, super nice guy.

Wow I didn't realize how much I loved this place! We came here a while back for their happy hour deals, but this time we got their chirashi lunch deal. It's about $13-14 and it is so worth it! It comes with an order of miso soup and a side salad with ginger dressing. The rice and raw fish are packaged separately for the chirashi lunch. The rice has various pickled vegetables and garnishes to add flavor to the rice. The raw fish came with an assortment of salmon, tuna, and squid. Even though this order was take out, it was still presented beautifully; we were impressed! All of the raw fish was so fresh and their cuts are so generous. The order even came with all the utensils and sauces that we needed. We called right when they opened at 11:30am to place the order and it was ready in 30 mins. Due to the pandemic, their restaurant is not open and they are doing pick-up at a table in the front of their restaurant. They even have containers to differentiate between used and not used pens. If you are looking for a quality, but cheap lunch deal for what it's worth, definitely come here! You won't be disappointed!

This little sushi shop on Maple never disappoints! The lunch specials are all amazing and I leave counting the days until the next round. A bit small inside but that's more than made up for by the quality of food.

Still fresh and delicious! Got take out for lunch, and ordered the chirashi box. Comes with salad and soup, and a ton of fresh sashimi and goodies on the perfectly seasoned rice. Didn't have to go inside as they had a table with payment set up outside. Called the order online and was able to pick it up in 10 minutes. So glad they survived (?) Covid, and hope they stick around for the long term!

This is one of my favorite sushi places in Northern VA. If you like Chirashi, then Sushi Yoshi is your go-to place. Sushi Yoshi serves the best chirashi in the Northern VA area. Best value, great portion size. The grilled yellowtail fish jaw is another must try here. Seating is available indoor and outdoor, however, get there early for lunch and dinner, as space is limited.

I wish I could give this place 6 stars. Best sushi I've had in the area. So fresh, quick service and the night I went it wasn't super busy so calm and relaxing atmosphere. I haven't been able to find hand rolls in the area since I came back from having them in California and I was so happy to see you can convert seemingly any roll into a hand roll. The toro was so soft and buttery and the salmon crunch roll was my second favorite. We also had gyoza which were the perfect starter. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to dine in but you can also do takeout. I will absolutely be back as soon as possible!

Ordered over the phone; was calling since 4:30. Someone finally picked up at 4:55. Which is fine; they open at 5, I was trying to get ahead of the rush. Person said 35 minutes for pick up. Got there; About 5 people came after me that has larger orders and some smaller. I asked how much longer and her first response was that those people ordered before me. Think they messed up the orders. Ending up finally getting my food 1 hour later. Left at 6:05. Seems like last in first out? Food was just ok. Salad was old and flat. Pretty sure it's new ownership; wasn't like this a few months back. I won't be coming back.

TL;DR: Chirashi. Enough said This is probably one of my favorite sushi places in the NOVA area. The restaurant itself is very small (especially when the patio area is closed). So making a reservation is very recommended! The staff is all very friendly and attentive, and food comes out in a very timely manner. Let's be real. A lot of people (like me) come here mainly for the Chirashi. Whether it be lunch or dinner. The value is awesome! Their rice is seasoned so well, the toppings on the rice accompany the sashimi well, and the portion of fish they bring out is just insane. The quality of the fish is very good too! This place is a little out of the way for me, but it is so worth the drive!

I'm always weary of trying any sushi places that are not in DC. Or Arlington. We were in the Vienna area and were choosing between their sushi restaurants. Compared to the others in the Vienna area , this one had almost 1000 reviews and many seemed great. It was definitely a red flag that when I tried to call a few times they didn't answer their phone . At first I took it as a good sign that they were busy. We got there and saw most people seated outside . On such a hot day, I was wondering why . Once we got inside , I found out . Their AC was broken and yet they were still seating people . I was hungry so I decided that we would just get a table . We sat down and were given menus . We quickly realized that this restaurant was extremely overwhelmed. I honestly felt bad for all the employees, especially the chefs that had to work in this heat. There was the server who was sprinting across the restaurant and had this miserable look on her face . The manager was rushing back and forth putting Togo orders in their places on the counter . We didn't get water for 30 mins . And yes this was after we placed our order . We actually had to ask for it . The water was warm. They did put ice cubes in the water but they immediately melted . Of course I did have empathy for the employees because it's not their fault their ac was broken . My issue is that they continued to take a very large volume of Togo orders and kept seating people when they were extremely behind and stressed and hot . Why do this to yourselves and customers ? I knew it was getting bad when the table that had been there before us didn't get their food until we had been seated for 40 mins . We saw new groups of people walk in and wait at the front to be greeted for 20 minutes. At one point one of the customers called out to the server and she just walked by them. And yes there was only one server . They started talking to the female manager and stated they had been waiting a very long time to be seated and she walked away mid conversation to get an order . Their phones rang non stop and created an even more stressed out environment. Imagine dining in a small restaurant and hearing phones ring off the hook while you've already been waiting to eat 40 mins. They weren't answering the phone at all. Not one time. So why not just turn the phone off ? Finally at an hour after we arrived , we got our food and I realized why people left good reviews. The sushi was extremely fresh and melt in your mouth . Unfortunately that didn't make up for the overall experience. Again I do realize it's not their fault that the ac was broken but at the same time they had full control over the amount of orders they were taking and they let this effect their diners . It wasn't a good vibe at all because all the employees looked so stressed . I personally would not go back just Because of the poor management decisions. The two stars are for the sushi. I couldn't give any stars for customer service .

This will be my last visit to Sushi Yoshi. I think some time ago when I first moved here (10 years or so), I ate here had a great meal and the price was very reasonable. We've frequented Sushi Yoshi many many times since. Most notably, it was my wife's first meal after giving birth. We catered here for my son's 100 day celebration. I think between 2020 and 2021 we've come here 30-40 times. Lately, each time we end our meals thinking why did we come back. Sushi Yoshi is the epitome of a restaurant that is complacent with how popular they are perceived to be. As long as business continues to flow, the standard of quality drops off immensely because, they're getting business anyway. Sometimes we order, rice is great. Other times we order it's almost porridge. The chirashi, which is what I feel Yoshi built much of their reputation on, are cubed pieces of fish leftovers. At the very minimum I'd expect the fish to be cut like sashimi so it's at least pleasant to eat. Who wants to be biting into giant cubes of raw fish? Sometimes the chirashi has a nice variety of fish. Other times (like today), half the chirashi is salmon. Just so much salmon. It's a shame. I actually liked this place. The employees and owner? are really pleasant people. If I've learned anything about being in the restaurant business, the most difficult thing to maintain is a high bar of quality. I can deal with gradual price increases, menu fluctuations etc. But I won't be spending any more money on a place that half asses the food. Getting what you pay for should not be a crapshoot. And it sucks because there just aren't a whole lot of good sushi places in Northern Virginia. *editing my rating to 2 stars in consideration of the fact that sometimes we get a decent meal.

A staple and one of the best sushi places in Vienna! Their lunch is reasonably priced (it has increased a couple dollars since covid) with some of the freshest fish I've ever had. Our orders are always a sushi lunch with spicy tuna roll or Chirashi! The variety of fish are always fresh and thick cut pieces. I believe it was yellowtail, salmon, salmon belly, white tuna, squid, spicy tuna, and seared tuna! I love the pop of flavor with ginger, egg, daikon, lotus, and carrots on the chirashi rice. Would highly recommend!

Went in on a Tuesday night at 6 with reservations for two. We were running a bit late so we called ahead to let them know we'd be 10min late and they were very accommodating -- although it may have been because they weren't too busy. The service is prompt and the servers don't try to make a conversation with you which I liked (for today at least). We ordered fried oysters as our appetizer then a salmon don for me and a bento box for my friend. They were all fresh and good. I always get the salmon don and it was good as always, and it was my first time trying the fried oysters and they were also really good! I always recommend this place to whoever asks me for a good sushi place in nova!

Sunday brunch with good friends. I was craving the Chi-Ra-Shi and it just has amazingly good quality and taste. You can't any quality Chi-a-shi in the NoVA area. Awesome Value too!!!!! Friendly waitress checked my table with big smile. Love it.

We always come here particularly for the Chirashi lunch, even when visiting from out of town. After 6 years away, we enjoyed the same high quality and value in February 2023. We wish we had a restaurant like this at home in California. Thank you!

I can't believe I'm just trying Sushi Yoshi after 12 years of living in the town of Vienna. It is Excellent! The eel sashimi is to die for. Yes, I felt rushed ordering, too. I'm not sure if this is a post COVID change like other reviewers mentioned, but hopefully ownership will look into this and fix it.

I order chirashi zushi lunch set Good cost performance. So good! I really love this place! I'll be back! ランチでちらし寿司ランチを頼みました。 ボリュームもあり、ひとつひとつが美味しく味わう事ができました. 巻きの中のマグロが唐辛子の味があって美味しかったです。 また近いうちに行きます。 平日でも忙しい様なので早めに行くか、 予約をすると良いと思います。

Food is good....but be careful extra charge tips without noticing when u sign on credit card.....especially on To-go .....if u not check your credit card payment then......overpaying......last time they overcharged me tips 5 dollars without my permission....they added 5 dollars by themselves.....after that I am not going over there again
