Yoma Cafe - Japanese Bento Box, Sushi, Sandwiches, Snacks, Boba Drinks

Yoma Cafe brings joy. This has become my favorite sushi place in San Francisco. While this restaurant is tiny, it punches way above its weight. The quality of the fish is the best I have had since moving to the city in February. Yoma offers buy 1 get 1 Gyoza so your Large 10 pcs becomes 20 Gyoza! Wow. The fried gyoza is served with a sweet and sour sauce and is an excellent starting point for your meal. The Miso soup is on point, the perfect blend of savory and satisfying. The food is as good as it looks. I ordered the Double Hamachi Roll and the Double Salmon Roll. Both far exceeded my expectations. The spicy tuna roll is also a 2 for 1 offering and spicy hot and flavorful. Pork Katsu Bento is just as good. Spring rolls were delicious. Yoma Cafe is a wonderful experience and I recommend it with my heart and stomach. Enjoy!

YO-YO is the GOAT. Every time I come here for some quality Japanese schmack, I see her crankin out food left and right, on the grind 24/7. Takes a bit longer when there’s a long list of orders, but she hooks us up with the miso soup and brown sugar boba… on the house. Prices are the best I’ve seen outside of Japan, and quantity/quality does NOT disappoint. Menu is packed with all your Japanese (food) fantasies. Only complaint is that this hole-in-the-wall gem isn’t right next door. Show Yo-yo some luv! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stumbled upon this little local Japanese food spot after a visit to Golden Gate Park, and I’m so glad I did! Yoma Café is a small, women-owned business with warm and welcoming hospitality. The space is cozy, clean, and inviting. I ordered a sushi burrito with salmon and tuna, and was blown away by the fresh flavors and generous filling, especially at such a reasonable price. It was light, satisfying, and full of quality ingredients. I wish I had time to try more from the menu, but that’ll have to wait until next time. If you’re in the neighborhood and looking for something fresh, flavorful, and budget-friendly while supporting a local gem, I highly recommend stopping by Yoma Café. Visited twice on my short stay and tried the chirashi bowl, and hand rolls. Highly recommend both, especially the unagi hand roll which melts in your mouth!!! The portion sizes are generous and so is the owner yoma and her staff. They were so generous and friendly.

You definitely do not need to go to Japan to have Japanese service level! Yoyo is attentive, welcoming and detail oriented. And did I mention the food is delicious? You won't find a better deal in town for the quality or the quantity they serve here! Don't get fooled by the simplicity of the establishment, their fish is fresh, delicious and well served! I'm on a mission to try out all their dishes, and I still need to find one that disappoints! They have a huge selection of dishes, so take your time looking through it, you are sure to find something new and appetizing. Although they only have a few tables for groups, there are multiple counter sits, so it's great for an individual meal.

Don’t doubt it!!! The atmosphere was very nice. Service was AMAZING very kind lady. The lady that helped us was VERY attentive & helpful with all our questions☺️☺️ The cooks were also very nice! Food & drinks were great, over all great experience✨ Definitely coming back:)

A cute, compact Japanese spot with a large menu sure to meet every customer’s tastes. Good prices and large serving sizes… I love this little hole in the wall! The staff are so friendly and attentive and the food was fresh. Loved it!

We ordered the BOGO 6pc California rolls + the 6pc California rolls with tuna and salmon (yes, 18 California rolls total...) They started us off with miso soup which was pretty good, and I personally am not fond of miso soup. Food came out quickly and the California rolls were great. Salmon was delicious and fresh-tasting, but the tuna was a bit tough/chewy. Kiosk was card only (no Apply Pay). Store itself was quite small and intimate, around three small tables and a two person booth seating area

I’ve never had a sushi burrito before, what an interesting concept! Realistically this was more of a 4.5/5 for me but I decided to round up to help their ratings, it’s really large portions so great value for money, I couldn’t finish the combo meal - the guy who works there is quite nice, he tried to help me decipher their menu which is a little overwhelming and complicated when you first look at it. Small cute spot, has dine in seating :)

The service was super nice and helpful, food was absolutely tasty, to the point it blew my mind how good it all tasted. It was all so fresh! We got the pork katsu with curry, spicy tuna roll, and salmon/crab sushi burrito, all perfect!

This is my to go place! I go 1-2 a week. It's next to my house. Yo-yo is the best! And sashimi, sushiritto are the best! Love you guys!

I just finished a museum visit and getting hungry. Luckily, we found this place just minutes away. Parking is not as bad as I thought or I just got lucky again. Food (4 stars) + Popcorn chicken bento is a huge portion but it was so good I finished it all + This place is all about customization. I loved how you can change up pretty much anything on the bento. If you're hungry you can even have 2 rice instead of rice/salad! + Beef curry combo is good but I wish the curry sauce was a little warmer. - Beef teriyaki is a huge portion but I was it was a little more tender - Skip the kimchi as Japanese are not known for this. It tastes like ginger kimchi to me. Service (4 stars) + Beef teriyaki bento was quick but rest of the dishes came out way later - My water didn't get refilled but I also didn't ask so not really complaining Ambiance (4 stars) + It's close quarters but cozy with heaters keeping us warm on a chilly day If I lived in the area I'd probably be a regular here. It's a ton of food so great value and pretty good grubbing.

The boba drinks were fantastic! We also enjoyed the sushi as well. Tiny spot with only a couple of tables inside. Great place to take away. Staff was beyond kind and helpful. Would definitely come back for the boba!

Had a lovely time here last night! Came here around 10pm for a late dinner and so glad we did. We found street parking down the block. They have an impressive menu and so many yummy options, it took us a while to decide. Their self-order kiosk has lots of photos of everything so that was helpful. They have indoor seating and even a selection of board games. I ended up getting the salmon and crab sushi burrito and my partner got the Chicken Katsu. Our friends ordered a couple of different rolls, the salmon sashimi, and the popcorn chicken. Everything was delicious! We were also given complementary miso soup and edamame. We also ordered the ube taro milk and the strawberry matcha latte - both ended up being BOGO so we coincidentally ended up with 4 drinks! Had no idea there was a sale going on but we were really happy about that haha. Service here is incredible! Our waitress was so kind and attentive - when she was bringing out our food, she presented each dish with care and even described the home-made sauces that came with each. The exceptional service, delicious food, amazing BOGO drink deals, and the welcoming ambiance (and activities) definitely deserves 5 stars.

Affordable Japanese spot with some hits and some misses. The seaweed salad was fresh and tasty, and the miso soup was surprisingly flavorful and comforting. The shrimp tempura was just okay--nothing special, a bit standard. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for good value and a good happy hour deal.

Stopped by while walking the crosstown trail! Lots of options! The fish was ok but kinda expected for a casual spot. They gave us miso soup while we were waiting Great service tho and reasonable prices.

super comforting food and spot run by some sweet staff! I ordered the Sushi Burrito Combo: Tuna 2pc & Popcorn Chicken & Thai Ice Tea ($17+ post tax) and they gave such huge portions! the chicken was fresh and crispy, and the tuna sushirrito with sushi rice and katsu sauce was good. the thai iced tea was very sweet even at 25% but overall I was happy

Love this spot! Food, whether dining in or to go is always good, fresh, and hot. You definitely get your moneys worth and this place often throws in free edamame and/or soup when doing to go orders. Highly recommend for a neighborhood gem.

I visited Yoma Cafe with a group of friends to pick up a quick grab n' go lunch after a hike. The tiny restaurant was packed, but there was only a short line to place to-go orders. The menu was slightly overwhelming - there were countless combinations of bento boxes, sushi, snacks, sandwiches, and drinks. I ultimately decided to order a chicken katsu sandwich, since I figured it would be easily portable for a picnic in Golden Gate Park. Once we all placed our orders, there was a very long wait (20-25 minutes) for our orders to come out, one-by-one. We waited outside for our names or order numbers to be called since there wasn't any room inside the restaurant; however, we didn't realize that our food was ready until someone went back inside to check and saw that our food was just sitting on the counter. When we finally picked up our food, walked to the park, and sat down to eat, I was pleased to find my sandwich nicely packaged and still warm despite the chilly weather that day. While I would have preferred fluffier milk bread (this sandwich used regular white bread), I liked the addition of pickle, carrots, and spicy mayo that elevated the sandwich. The chicken cutlet was thin and a bit dry, but it had a nice, crispy texture. The "2 piece" sandwich order was equivalent to a full sandwich, and it was just the right size for a quick grab n' go lunch. Next time I'm in the area, I'll have to try one of the bento boxes so I can sample more of the menu items.

This tiny Inner Sunset cafe is exactly the type of bustling spot you might find in a more vintage neighborhood in Tokyo like Yanaka Ginza. With a bright green awning and a colorful menu, it definitely has character and an ebullient owner who greets everyone with enthusiasm, even interlopers like me who aren't from these parts. It appears to draw local families, especially kids, appear to get lunch here. That sounded like a good idea, so I decided to assemble my bento box. It's a convenient a la carte operation where I could pick and choose what I wanted. Bento boxes cost $13.99, and I decided on a combination of Chicken Katsu and Spicy Curry as my entree (Photo 7). It came with pan-fried gyoza, pickled ginger, white rice with fukikake, and a big side salad. A hearty lunch indeed, and luckily there was an open table because otherwise I would've had to walk to Golden Gate Park to eat it. It's good to know it's here. Between this cafe and the sandos at Sakura down the street, I can have my motherland fix with little fuss. FOOD - 4 stars...satisfying homestyle bento boxes AMBIANCE - 4 stars...colorful and not overly crowded SERVICE - 4.5 stars...energetic owner makes you feel welcome TOTAL - 4 stars...motherland eats in the Sunset RELATED - Exploring the Sunset?

I wanted to eat salmon so I returned to Yoma and didn't introduce myself to comp my order based on my review a year ago. (See her reply.) I noticed the menu has changed more towards Japanese food and ordered a teriyaki salmon to go. Yoyo gave me a peach iced tea while I waited...thank you! This is a simple tiny shop with a few tables and bar seatings. However, they seem to have a lot of takeout orders and earned many regulars who knew Yoyo. Her hospitality is clearly the highlight of this place! At home, my cat took a sniff and wanted my meal. The salmon was a wee bit dry but was nicely crispy on the outside. The portion was good, with sauce, rice, kelp, salad, 5 edamame beans and a wedge of orange. It also came with a tasty miso soup!

Update: Another meal at Yoma Cafe! The owner is the sweetest! She really takes care of her customers and makes you feel welcomed. This was our 3rd time coming here and each time, we've been satisfied! We especially like the sashimi! And YoYo, the owner is aimed to please all her customers. You won't be disappointed!

Very good food, amazing service. Owner is so nice gave us free katsu on the house. And I love the music playing in the background, good ambiance!

First time dining at Yoma and I was pleasantly surprised. The rolls rather simple were quite tasty. The lady working (which I believe to be the owner) was extremely busy yet friendly. The menu is very overwhelming and the ordering system was not my favorite tho. I ordered on the tablet for my family and mistakenly ordered additional rolls cause the menu wasn't clear but the lady was very accommodating so I do appreciate that. *We all ordered beef teriyaki as part of our meal and agreed while the flavor was good the beef texture was too hard. Next time we'll try something else.

Metered street parking only . Nestled between the inner sunset residential neighborhoods. Small close quarters dining room , seats about 24 pp. combination of bar stools / tables/ chairs type seating. We entertained ourselves with a round of uno card game & jenga while we waited for our food. The menu has quite a vast selection of food options from Bento boxes to sushi rolls , cold sandwiches, curry dishes , sushi burritos and sashimi. We order different options of bento boxes, each came with miso soup or salads. We all liked what we selected , noting the chicken katsu was crunchy and deliciously seasoned .

If you like lots of variety this is the place for you. There are endless Japanese dishes for you to have from bento, sando, donburi, sushi rolls and appetizers, with endless combinations and options. We ordered a seared tuna bento with some toppings like ikura, avocado, and a crab salad hand roll on the side. Everything was really fresh and the fish quality was great. Same for the tonkatsu sando w/ spicy mayo which has mixed greens in it. The pork is thin spices but like the chunky pork you see in a usual Japanese sando. You can pick any drink or side to go with it for a combo that's less than $15. The ube taro milk I got for the side was nothing super special, kind of tastes like the nostalgic taro you got from quicklys. I will try something like their coffee boba next time. I definitely see this place as a casual hang out spot. There aren't too many tables but it is homey with board games to play if you have time. Be patient with the service here and you are good. They go out attention and care into the food.

I was craving for a quick bento lunch and happened upon Yoma Cafe. You just look up at the menu fast-food style, order from the cashier, and the food get delivered to you. There were several customers who ordered take out but I ate indoors. They offer board games for customers if you are so inclined. I got a bento with unagi teriyaki, which came with sides which were not the usual maki rolls but spring rolls and something like deconstructed sushi and added an upgrade of ikura sashimi (salmon roe) for $3. My hubby ordered a beef teriyaki bento and the burrito like sushi wrap with shrimp. Food was decent for the price, and table seating was simple, but unfortunately there was construction on the street nearby, making it noisy inside. No wonder everyone else got takeout.

This is a very small restaurant. We thought we had made reservations for 6 people, but when we got there they did not have our reservations made on Google? Luckily it was not busy so they were able to get a table of 6 set up for us. Big menu board above the cashier where you are suppose to order on a computer screen, which was a little confusing to us but the owner, YoYo, said she would take our order if that was easier. YoYo the owner was super friendly. After we ordered our meals, she brought over banchan dishes, which I think was on the house? She served us edamame, kimchee and seaweed salad. There are varieties of choices on the menu but most of us ordered bento boxes. The food was good, portions were generous and the service was excellent. We were all served a large cup of green tea in a to go cup with a lid! As we were ready to leave, YoYo made us eggettes to share with condensed milk dip. That was like a surprise dessert to us. All six of us agreed Yoma Cafe was a great find and would definitely be back to try other menu selections in the future. Thank you YoYo for a wonderful experience for our first time at Yoma Cafe.

The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. It's a great spot to stop in and grab a quick bite before heading into the park. It's a quaint sized restaurant with a handful of tables. We will definitely be back.

Yum food Super fresh and big portions Super nice service Small but cosy environment Definitely going back again 3rd time

I would say that this place is a 3.5 stars. The staff is friendly and the portion size of one bento box is massive and easily enough to feed two people but the popcorn chicken was pretty bland without the sweet chili sauce. For bang for buck, this is great. We also got the peach green tea bogo and that was great. Overall, I think that this is a fine place to go but just needs to season their chicken.

Great little Japanese hole in the wall! Some of the best SPAM musubi we've had in the Richmond/Sunset. Many combos and options to choose from. Bento boxes, to bowls and other more "fusion" mashups. Friendly counter staff. Great discovery on our bike ride through the Sunset.

Yoma Cafe has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. It's super easy to get there via transit, which is very important to me (the N Judah, 7 Haight/Noriega, 28 19th Avenue, and 29 Sunset stop nearby). The restaurant is very small, but I've never had an issue with having to wait to sit down. Yo-Yo is incredibly welcoming and friendly; she loves to give hugs, get to know new customers, and catch up with regulars. She's really devoted to customer service and I really appreciate that. I'm ready to try other dishes, but I cannot get enough of the Salmon Teriyaki. It's just perfect -- the sauce has a special sweetness to it that I haven't tasted at most restaurants. The dish is made even better with the orange squeezed over the salmon and rice. The sushi rice is incredible with this dish, by the way! 100% recommend this spot. Also, special thank you to Yo-Yo for giving me and my friend the amazing popcorn chicken on the house. That was extremely kind and the popcorn chicken was delicious; I love the aftertaste so much.

We came to this small Japanese spot in the sunset for dinner on Sunday night and were pleasantly surprised with how much good food we were able to get for really affordable prices. Whether it's the very generous helpings of fish in the sushi burritos, the sandwich combos with snacks and drinks, or the buy one get one free sushi rolls and tempura, there's a ton of good, cheap options that'll fill you up and leave you satisfied. Although nothing was exceptional in terms of taste or fish quality, the value for your money is more than given with the lowest sushi prices I've seen in SF and the overall experience. Our waitress Yoyo was so incredibly kind and I would definitely come back!

My new go to place for affordable Japanese food! We stumbled into this place on a whim on the weekend evening, and were immediately welcomed by a friendly hostess Yoyo, a clean restaurant, and a sprawling menu of options. We got a number of things, all of which surprised us with the quantity of food we were given for the price. While none of the dishes were extraordinary, every single one ranged from good to very good for an incredibly affordable price. I don't think I've ever gotten this much Japanese food for this low of a price in San Francisco. The standout was the Melting Salmon Roll, great proportions of fish with a fantastic sear on top. The sandwiches (or burritos) are large with generous servings of protein. This is absolutely worth a visit if you want to eat a bunch of good food for a fair price. Or just to have a normal amount of food for a low price. Or for none of that, visit incredibly friendly Yoyo and her gem of a restaurant.

I wish I had taken a picture of our lunch bento boxes!! However, we quickly began digging in as soon as we got home. The hubby chose the chicken katsu bento with crab, veggie spring roll and gyoza as his 3 sides. I chose the 6 piece sashimi bento with avocado, veggie spring roll and spicy tuna. Tuna, salmon and albacore were the sashimi cuts. They are very generous with their sashimi! The bento also comes with miso soup, your choice of sushi or regular rice and greens (mixed green salad and seaweed salad) I am so impressed and proud of Yoyo for creating such a beautiful little restaurant. But don't be fooled - it may be tiny but there are so many delicious options to choose from! You order from the touch screen and it can seem a bit overwhelming because there are many tabs and options to choose from but once you know what you want I think JT's pretty easy to find the item. There was an older woman who stepped aside and mentioned that she couldn't figure out what to do. I should've helped her but we ordered and before I could offer to show her, she walked out. This is a great bang for your buck place. With hearty, tasty food. I continue to look forward to trying more of the different dishes as everything that I saw served looked really great. Thanks Yoyo!

Had a group hangout at this cafe and we arrived not expecting much. However we left filled with joy from the food and the welcoming atmosphere. Their menu is quite diverse and I tried their popcorn chicken and seared fish bento with salmon and hamachi. While we were waiting Yoyo the owner offered us miso while we waited which was light and delicious. The popcorn chicken was really crispy and hit the spot would definitely recommend. The bento box was massive and I liked being able to choose the sides I wanted. We also ordered a spicy salmon roll for the table which was buy one get one free -- super value! Overall i enjoyed the fish and its quality and you can't really go wrong with anything. Overall we had a lovely time here and would definitely this as a sit in spot if there's space or also take out.

Fitst time being here, we ordered 2 bento boxes to go. They were packed when we came to pickup so we had to wait for a bit but the cashier was super nice; she knew we would have to wait for a bit so she offered a free drink to us & later on free California rolls because our wait was longer than expected. The place was small but clean & very good service! The food was also good! We would definitely come back!

Went here for a Sunday lunch at 11:30. Only one person, the cook was on duty, and we barely communicated with him. YC is an order on your phone or at the counter kiosk restaurant. It's really a mostly take-out place with a very large menu, so large that the cook did not know where some of the ingredients or instructions were located. We believe he was the hot food chef as he didn't prepare the sushi rolls. Also didn't know how to make a Matcha Latte. He was talking on the phone with someone who was giving him instructions, likely a co-worker who was late. Forty minutes after ordering, the owner and the sushi roll chef show up and we start receiving drinks and food. We wondered why it said our order would be ready for pick-up at 12:10 when we ordered at 11:40 and we were the only customers?!! The owner makes the Matcha Latte and the other guy makes the rolls when they show up. The food was ok but we were very disappointed in having to wait for drinks, 40 minutes (lemonade, coke, and iced matcha latte), and a little more time for our rolls and warm food. There are specials listed on a board, like buy this and get this free or discounted, however, we couldn't find the specials on the electronic menu and the line cook at opening couldn't help us as he didn't know the computer system and we didn't know enough Spanish. Although we were able to communicate with him when he said he couldn't make the Matcha Latte and we changed it to a Brown Sugar Milk Tea. The owner came in subsequently and completed the Matcha order - she knew where the Matcha powder was located! TBH, she was out until around 12 noon purchasing ingredients and products for the restaurant. Tough to be a small restaurant / cafe owner. I wouldn't recommend coming here early for lunch and suggest they're best suited to be a take-out restaurant. Would not drive here to eat-in. Seats 10-12 at most?!?.

We were starving after a walk in GGP and found this cute place nearby. The place is small, but they're clever with how the seating is organized, so it doesn't feel too cramped. The menu is huuuge and the portions are great too. I highly recommend the popcorn chicken- we got a size small, but there was more chicken than I've seen at a lot of other places. It's also not too oily and full of that delicious crunch. They did forget about the drinks we ordered, but quickly amended it and gave us a bonus drink. We really appreciated the gesture as running a small business is hard and it can get really busy. I wish I lived closer so I could come more often :')

I love Yoma Cafe. I always bring the chicken popcorn for potlucks at work and people love it --many have asked me where I got it from. The other food items we tried were really good too, and so affordable. Easily one of our go-to eats in the sunset.

Yoma seems like a local family run restaurant with very friend staff. We came in on a busy day, and the owner was very kind to us despite having to take care of so many customers. The restaurant is not big, so it can fill up, but we went in the afternoon and were able to find seats for 4. I got the chicken katsu sandwich. The portions were good, and well worth the price you pay for. You can also order the meal version that comes with musubi and a drink (although for 2 sandwiches instead of 4). The chicken is a bit dry,, but everything else was tasty!

It's a small shop but it's got everything. A diversified menu, check; reasonable price, check; decorations on the walls, check; friendly staff, check. We tried BOGO of taro milk, hamachi hang roll and spicy hand rolls. I like that the hamachi hand rolls are stuffed with 2 big cuts of hamachi and fresh avocados. The staff forgot to ask us about the sweetness or ice level or boba of the drinks and didn't give us the free miso soups that he promised, but in all considerations it's a good stop.

Service was great, very tentative. Yo-yo did a great job she even ask for our names to be more personable and used it even time she check in on us. Food came pretty quick and was delicious! I had the chicken katsu curry, which came with appetizer being the tempura shrimp as the combo. Shop was a bit small for American standards but larger than most Japanese restaurants in Tokyo. For the space it was comfy enough for a pop in grab and go spot.

It was a cold and foggy day in the city and we were craving something hot. Went here over the weekend on Sunday around 3:20pm and there was no wait! I wasn't too surprised about there being no wait because of the music festival happening nearby. Anyways! We sat at the table furthest from the door because of how cold it was outside. At this restaurant, you order at the counter and they'll ask you if you want it "for here" or "to go." Now, I've ordered a meal for "to go" here before, but this time it was nice dining inside AND the experience was better too! We ordered the Chicken Katsu Sandwich Combo with Brown Sugar Milk Tea Boba and also the Shrimp & Vegetables Tempura Bento. Both meals came with complimentary tea and a bowl of miso soup too; that was a nice surprise! I totally wasn't expecting any of that so that made me happy. I liked how hot and crispy my popcorn chicken was and the sandwich is a good portion size. The bento box meal was cool too and I feel it would be a good place to satisfy my future bento box cravings. I'd recommend this place! This restaurant is very small with vibrant colors inside so the restaurant can feel a bit crowded. One highlight from my experience was the great customer service! Haha they noticed we were taking pictures of the food so they gave us a sauce bowl to make it look better! Most importantly, all of the food tasted good and I love a place with variety.

Thanks to Annie W. for introducing this restaurant to me after a recent museum outing. And I tried it once again days ago via delivery. The food is good and they give generous portions. On our recent delivery, my husband and I enjoyed Chicken Teriyaki Bento with sauce on the side. We also enjoyed the wakame that came with the Bento. Delicious. The small popcorn chicken hits the spot for my fried food cravings and it isn't overly salty which I appreciate. We also enjoyed California rolls and some veggie tempura. I also got a generous pour of carbonated fruit punch. The restaurant is located on Irving between 16th & 17th Ave, and it's a small cozy space. The owner/staff seem very gracious.

It's been so long since I've had popcorn chicken, I actually forgot how delicious it taste!! Most places put MSG in their popcorn chicken recipe and sadly, I am highly allergic to mono sodium glucose! Being part Japanese/Hapa and being allergic to MSG really has its challenges!! I was thrilled to find out at this particular location. They did not put MSG in their chicken, and I was also able to get some sushi rolls without soy sauce, which also contains MSG. The lady behind the counter made a special roll for me similar to their sandwich, without the tuna and put popcorn chicken inside it for me. I was really excited to have the giant spam musubi like roll as a sandwich with popcorn chicken!! I loved it so much. I actually went back a week later and got an order of popcorn, chicken, the meal, as well as the BOGO and got two hand rolls of tuna and spicy tuna, the BOGO, there was pretty decent and for a good price as well as it being Bogo!! My boyfriend loves the spicy beef noodle soup down the street, so I'm pretty sure will be coming back to these two places weekly!! I'm very excited to have found this spot! They also have a discount card!!

fantastic customer service :) the lady who works there is really nice and the sushi tastes really fresh.

Fried tofu wasn't prepared right, where the batter was thick and falling off the tofu. Spicy salmon sushi was just ok, but flavor was masked by some unknown spice. Gyoza was meh (not Japanese style). Taro drink was fine, but could use more taro flavor. The rice was garnished with dried parsley (?). Kimchi was not good.

Good food. Very friendly staff. Reasonable pricing. I would recommend you should eat here.

Absolutely delicious sushi !!! Service was amazing and everyone was beyond kind. Made our night :)) Super cute and cozy seating area with take out option. Would definitely recommend this place

You definitely do not need to go to Japan to have Japanese service level! Yoyo is attentive, welcoming and detail oriented. And did I mention the food is delicious? You won't find a better deal in town for the quality or the quantity they serve here! Don't get fooled by the simplicity of the establishment, their fish is fresh, delicious and well served! I'm on a mission to try out all their dishes, and I still need to find one that disappoints! They have a huge selection of dishes, so take your time looking through it, you are sure to find something new and appetizing. Although they only have a few tables for groups, there are multiple counter sits, so it's great for an individual meal.

This charming cafe was a delightful stop along on long stroll around the Sunset. The interior has a few tables inside, but seating can be limited depending on how busy it is. We thankfully snagged a table after ordering and admired the food at our neighboring tables. Their menu is crowded and can be a bit daunting with how it's formatted, but you'll eventually spot the items that call out to you. We specifically walked in with what we wanted to try in mind, so it was a matter of looking for key words. FOOD: Even thought we only ordered one set, we were pleasantly surprised with two bowls of warm miso soup. It was a welcoming experience and made me even more excited for the food. Our katsu and sides came out quickly! The katsu was lightly breaded and not overcooked at all. We received a generous amount of spicy salmon and crab meat hand rolls, but I did think the seaweed wasn't as crunchy and a tad bit chewy. SERVICE: The individual serving was very kind and welcoming. If I were in the area of the sunset again, I'd definitely stop by to try other items on their menu!

Service is always so friendly when picking up an order or ordering from inside restaurant. The lady even offers candy and always has a smile on her. The food is good and matcha drink is so good! You can taste quality in the matcha. It is a good neighborhood place, where you can also dine in (smaller cozy place and very inviting). I will rec this.

Service: lady was nice, sadly she did not make our drinks fast enough for us to drink it during our meal time of 30 minutes. The ambiance of the restaurant was busy. Menu was busy to read and confusing to navigate. Not much seating area. Food was a hit or miss. Chicken katsu sandwich was good. Beef teriyaki bento was not. It was too chewy and not much teriyaki sauce. Rice was hard. The fries sides dishes were really good such as the vegetable spring roll and the gyoza. Dragon roll was okay, not the best, but still decent. Avoid the boba drinks, even if it is buy one get one free. I got the Thai tea and it was watered down. The jasmine milk tea was too sweet even though we adjusted it to not be. Would like to give this place another chance and improve in the future, but for now three stars is what it gets.

I come here whenever I'm around the Sunset because I love spam musubi, and there's not many places that serve it! Yoma also has a wide array of boba drinks (of which I am also a fan of) (including a diverse range of matcha lattes) and sushi dishes. I brought some boba drinks for my tennis teammates and they liked the tapioca boba texture. They have nice board games and games inside and also offer free wifi. The inside is warm and cozy and there's also a bench outside. Staff is very kind, appreciative, and personable, so I keep coming back!

Don't let its cozy appearance fool you - this place is a hidden gem with amazing food and super fresh sashimi/sushi on par w the best Japanese restaurants in the city. Further elevating your dining experience is the amazing hospitality from the owner Yoyo and her staff as they welcome each guest w VIP treatment. They genuinely put the utmost care on service and it's very clear that they have a passion for what they do and their customers. I dined there with my daughter and she was immediately drawn to Yoyo and insisted and giving her a hug on our way out. We left highly satisfied and can't wait to return to enjoy the rest of the menu, which appears to have no weaknesses.

Great spot for lunch! Menu has a variety of beverages, bento boxes, sushi. The combo bento boxes are a great deal. Staff was welcoming upon arrival. Indoor seating tables were clean. All fried food was prepped after ordering, so very nice & hot when arrived at the table. Enjoyed the meal, the group had a satisfying lunch. Would return!
