Great food! Everything was cooked with love! Must try the noddles! Fried ice cream was perfect! Overall 10/10!

This spot is excellent! Reasonable prices, considerable dishes and the employees are constantly very kind.

First meal in Boston after moving from SF- I hope it only gets better from here. "Chow Mein" was just soupy bean sprouts, limp veggies and the only noodles in sight came in a bag as a crunchy noodle topping. Overall the flavors of the other dishes-including fried rice, chicken wings, and sautéed veggies, were bland and unappetizing. I'm a big fan of Chinese food and don't often review restaurants but after this unfortunate first taste of Boston I felt compelled to steer you towards what I'm sure is a better Chinese food experience elsewhere.

Such good food. You can tell they have good food when they have good Wasabi :)

I did not try the sushi, just the Chinese food. Overall, a mediocre meal. The eggrolls were so oily they were dripping oil on my hands, and the oil detracted from what little flavor they had. The stir fried noodles came separate from their vegetables, shrimps, and thick brown sauce, to prevent them from getting soggy. Unfortunately, they too were very oily. The sauce was on the bland side. Vegetables were plentiful and cooked appropriately. Still, the dish lacked flavour. The shrimps smelled fishy/not fresh, so I did not touch them. Overall, I am thankful that I did not get food poisoning. Cashew shrimp dish was mostly celery in a mysterious thick, brown gravy, with small salad shrimps. I did not like the taste. I reckon nobody did and it went uneaten. The moo shi was supposed to be with chicken, but instead came with shrimp (no problem for us, but still...). Other unremarkable.

Very tasty sushi! Preferred it to the other sushi options in the area. Will definitely order from here again. Thanks for a great meal!

Amazing in the union square neighborhood. A lot of vegetarian options. Much better than the Siam Ginger nearby.

When I first ordered sushi dinner and sushi appetizer from this place, I honestly didn’t expect much. From the outside, it looks like a typical sushi restaurant with an unassuming interior and decent quality food. However, the quality of their sushi blew my mind the moment I tried them. All the fish they use here are not only fresh but they are served at an almost perfect temperature. I was also impressed to discover that they use more fatty parts of the fish to give you that “buttery” taste. Although I had to wait almost 20 minutes for my order to get ready, it was worth the wait, and this is definitely a must-visit place for sushi lovers.

Yoi is my go to in the neighborhood for sushi. I also love that they have different menus for Chinese and Japanese items for days when I’m in the mood for both :)

We like Yoi Sushi anyway, but just tried the Yoi special whole fried chicken, and it's totally delicious! Crispy skin and very juicy meat. We ordered it 2 days ahead so they could marinade the chicken, and yes, the staff are just so nice. Highly recommended!

DoorDash screwed up as usual. Restaurant called, driver forgot egg rolls and wouldn't answer multiple calls. Yoi called me directly and hand delivered them!!!

I was craving some Chinese food so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the Sweet and Sour Chicken which arrived quickly and was hot and crispy. The chicken was very good and thankfully they did not overdo the amount of sauce in the dish. Being unfamiliar with this restaurant I didn't know you could order online for delivery. Next time I will try that as the menu they have on Door Dash was hard to navigate. I couldn't find how to order a side of white rice and as typical of MA Asian restaurants, they do not include rice with their entrees.

Ordered the veggie lo mein, pork fried rice, crab rangoon and general tsao chicken and was all delicious! The only watch-out is that the chicken was spicy, but definitely will go back again!

Was in the mood for Sushi. Found Yoi Sushi near me and ordered salmon sashimi and a few other kinds of sushi. It was very good! This place is now my go to Sushi spot. I can’t wait until they open dine in and I’m def going to bring my friends and family.
