This was our first time here and we are very happy that we stopped by for dinner. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Please support local businesses, this is a wonderful restaurant!
March 2025
This is my local favorite. Really delicious sushi (especially nigiri) for a good price. I’d recommend their Hamachi Belly, Hamachi, or Maguro Nigiri. And if you’re looking for something more flavorful, then Lion King is pretty good. Their special roll 501 is good but the fried shallots and raw onion are quite overpowering.

Support your local restaurants. We love Yuubi. They are so kind to our family and kids, fish is fresh and constantly rotating and prices are very fair. We like dining in. They treat us so well. They are also Warriors fans and play the games on basketball night, a big plus for us! Go
