Yellowtail is a hidden gem in Alameda, offering excellent service and a friendly, fast-paced atmosphere. The food is great, with perfect taste and a variety of options, including ramen, rolls, and specialty plates. The restaurant is kid-friendly, with staff willing to assist with child needs, providing warm/cool hand towels and kid chopstick helpers. The atmosphere is clean, and the portions are generous.
Yellowtail is located in an alley area, which can be hard to find at first, but the spacious restaurant is worth the search. The menu features a combination box with tempura and sashimi, which comes with a soup and salad, making for a filling meal. The sashimi is thick and fresh, while the tempura is crispy and features a good variety of vegetables, including a delightful purple yam tempura.
The staff at Yellowtail is known for their excellent service, accommodating changes and handling large groups with ease. Customers have praised the quick food service and the overall pleasant dining experience. Many have highlighted the fresh ingredients and the delicious meals they have enjoyed over the years. One of the owners, Gary, is noted for his skill in making sushi and his attention to detail. The large menu includes popular appetizers like stuffed crabmeat prawns, sunomono, gyoza, and bacon-wrapped scallops. The servers, while generally younger, are attentive and contribute to the friendly atmosphere.
